ABC News: US to sign historic deal with Taliban, Trump announces, beginning end of US war in Afghanistan and withdrawal of American troops
After a week-long deal to reduce violence across Afghanistan, the U.S. and the Taliban are set to sign a historic agreement Saturday that would see U.S. troops start to withdraw, according to a statement issued Friday afternoon by President Donald Trump.
"Soon, at my direction, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will witness the signing of an agreement with representatives of the Taliban, while Secretary of Defense Mark Esper will issue a joint declaration with the government of Afghanistan. If the Taliban and the government of Afghanistan live up to these commitments, we will have a powerful path forward to end the war in Afghanistan and bring our troops home," Trump said.

Surprised? Why?

Jeff,
We have to replace the Pakistani government to successfully replace the Taliban.
Oh look money flung shite (20 or so headlines from the Drive-By Media) to see, if any would stick.
A few days ago Monkey posted the headline from the Molsons Coors shooting. I guess he wanted a medal for promulgating liberal propaganda.
Digging into the story from better news sources, we found out the shooter was a devout and observant liberal. He had been brainwashed by the usual liberal sources. The Shooter had been a good guy and had a good DD 214, but the unrelenting assault by liberal propaganda had made him a wreck.
Digging into the story we see that he murdered Gennady Levshetz. Gennady must have sinned, because he left beautiful Soviet Socialist Republics (Ukraine) for evil America.
All mad monkey cares about is that is makes gun owners look bad. Monkey will not dig deeper to see to whom Ferrill was listening-to in Chicago or in the DNC constellation.
Black liberal shoots Democrat coworkers. News at 11. Scratch that Media HQ told anchors to let the story die. It doesn't fit the narrative.
Who was Ferrill listening to? Facebook posts have been taken down to protect liberal institution and leaders.
You got that right. They are the man behind the curtain.
Off wall thing wish we drop pakistan and put india in for a replacement
