Having wrapped up the fifth round of Qatar talks between the US and the Taliban, US Special Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad reported “real strides” were made in the negotiations, which ended off with draft agreements on two key issues.
Khalilzad said that the deal is built around four elements, the main two
being the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, and a Taliban guarantee to
prevent al-Qaeda and ISIS from operating within Afghanistan. These two
elements are the ones that are agreed to in the draft.
Beyond that, the two elements agreed in principle but not draft are
dialogue between Taliban and the Afghan government, along with the
comprehensive ceasefire. No deal has been signed on any of these
matters.
But Khalilzad suggested that the draft includes a timeline for the US
withdrawal, which was a big sticking point. He didn’t say what that
timeline is, but the Taliban wanted the US out within a year, and the
Pentagon was planning for a five year drawdown at a snail’s pace.
Now crazy Bolton will come rushing in and screw everything up. We invaded Afghanistan in the first place because supposedly 19 Arabs hijacked some planes and flew them into buildings in the USA. Remember? It never made any sense then that we should go to war, why should it now?
Bolton, if you also remember, was part of PNAC, the neocon think tank that predicted 9/11 in its manifesto years before the actual event. He has a long history of instigating conflict and chaos by helping to stage false-flag events that were then used as pretexts for war. He was brought into the Trump team for a reason, and it wasn’t to bring reason and sanity to our foreign policy.
“Bolton, if you also remember, was part of PNAC, the neocon think tank that predicted 9/11 in its manifesto years before the actual event”.
Thomas Carlson: Dear Sir, World can only have Peace after All The Humanitarian Well Conscious People Forcefully Demand The Trials of All The War Criminals; American & West European Administrations along with their Cronies, like Bolton, Negro Pontey etc., etc., and The Deserving Severest Punishments Awarded to These Heinous Criminals of Humanity. PERIOD.
Till the time All the American & Allied Forces, Completely Leave Afghanistan; These Zionist Puppies can’t be Trusted, because of Their Treason Towards Muslim Countries, especially Pakistan, whom these have always Stabbed in The Back.
