He didn’t make peace, he capitulated in order to withdrawal troops. He agreed in principal to release 5,000 Taliban prisoners in exchange for 1,000 Afghan security forces prisoners. Remember how GOP and Conservative minded Veterans went hopping mad when Obama released 5 Taliban prisoners for 1 US POW?He’s lifting sanctions on the Taliban. But heaven forbid Obama lifted sanctions on Iran in exchange to remove thousands of centrifuges and nuclear material out of Iran.By the way, what is the Afghan government getting out of this? They’re getting promises of continued peace talks with the Taliban. Yeah, the Afghans got screwed.
Signs began to show Monday that key pillars of the agreement to negotiate an end to the Afghanistan war were starting to buckle, just hours after the United States signed what was billed as a historic agreement with the Taliban.
Reports emerged Monday that fighting had resumed between the Taliban and the Afghan security forces, marking an end to the reduction in violence that paved the way for the agreement that was signed Saturday by U.S. and Taliban officials.
The average college graduate pays about $7800 more a year in federal taxes than the average high school graduate. Over 30 years, that totals about $234,000. If that’s divided by the 4 years it takes to get a college education, the government would break even if it paid every student $58,500 a year to attend school. This doesn’t even consider that with the degree, the person is less likely to ever need unemployment or welfare, that more students would complete high school if they could see a clear way to a really good job, and that they would be enriching the Social Security and Medicare funds. They would also be paying a larger amount in all other types of taxes.The best investment we could make to keep America strong is to not just forgive all student loans but to make all higher education, including trade schools, etc totally free, as long as the student is making decent grades, and increase the number of schools and teachers to make room for all who can profit from the education. There is no better way to spend money than to invest it in our people, to give them every opportunity to be the best they can be. Yes, It’s good for them individually, but the country is made up of individuals, so what’s good for one is good for the country.. We don’t, even during a time of high unemployment, have so much a lack of jobs as we have a lack of people who have the skills to perform the jobs that are available- in other words, a lack of education.

Negotiations and an “Agreement” which did not involve the Afghanistan government! Gosh, what could go wrong?

He (the trump) has already made peace with all the other dictators so one has to wonder why it took so long to buddy up with the Taliban.
braindead Premium Member about 4 years ago
Good to know that the Taliban are no longer terrorists.
Because “We don’t negotiate with terrorists”.
.
Trump Disciples have not made any comments. Maybe they do not understand the cartoon nor any of the comments.

This will not end well. 2 years, tops, and the Taliban will be right back where they were in 2001.

Almost twenty years of war and we’re right back where we started. So what was it for?
I’ll tell you; so I and my other One Percenter friends could make a fortune in the arms manufacturing business.
It was a fine war.

Trump does nothing, NOTHING, that doesn’t benefit him in some way, shape or form.

Well, THAT didn’t take long…
