    Taliban is the only real organization in Afgan.
    It's a no brainer, if we pull out, the Taliban will become the gov.
    We have to become amiable chums in order to state that we secured the mission.

    I'm not defending Biden, he is an idiot supreme.

    ra-hat-lak has it right with one small exception:

    It's a no brainer,(WHEN) we pull out, the Taliban will become the gov.
    We have to become amiable chums in order to state that we secured the mission.

    I have removed "if" and inserted 'when'.

    The understanding we would have to talk with the Taliban goes back to the Bush administration and at least 2008....probably earlier. Gen. David Petraeus knew we would have to talk with the Taliban.

    Senator George Aiken, a Republican Senator from Vermont, is credited with coming up with the exit strategy for Vietnam:


    During the Vietnam war, Aiken is widely believed to have suggested that the U.S. should declare victory and bring the troops home. Actually, what he said was that "the United States could well declare unilaterally ... that we have 'won' in the sense that our armed forces are in control of most of the field and no potential enemy is in a position to establish its authority over South Vietnam," and that such a declaration "would herald the resumption of political warfare as the dominant theme in Vietnam." He added: "It may be a far-fetched proposal, but nothing else has worked."

    So let's do a "Senator Aiken", declare victory and get our troops out of the Afghan.

    It is one thing to say we have to talk and quite another to say they aren't our enemy when they are out trying killing our troops every day.

    By declaring that they aren't the enemy they will be able to justify sending billions in aid to "rebuild" their country when we pull out, you know, sort of like paying the mafia thugs not burn down your business.

    Money worked very, very well in the first days of the Afghan war. Two CIA guys and suit cases full of dollars (literally) brought in the Northern Alliance and Special Forces did a fine job.

    Sadly Dubya Bush felt the need to attack Iraq and the war in Afghanistan was left to simmer......and simmer....and.....
