Going into the November Presidential elections this is solid.
Going into Presidential debates with the Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, this will give him a strong hand that will also take the wind out of the sails of Bernie Sanders popular message of peace, bringing the troops back home and focusing on DOMESTIC issues. In many respects the same message as Trump in 2016, generally, but the President has been constrained by the reality of office and the demands of the DEEP STATE since that time.
Afghanistan is a strategic mess..........based on fake false flag DEEP STATE assumptions.
9/11 was carried out by the DEEP STATE for permanent war with profits by the likes of General Mattis, Rumsfeld, Cheney and so forth. 'al-CIA-duh' does not have
1. access to cruise missiles that hit the Pentagon on 9/11,
2. or the delivery systems or
3. the skill and training to fire them
4. Or the skill and ability to steal them from the Pentagon arsenal.
'al-CIA-duh' does not have rational, secular upper middle class men, and middle aged men who are highly capable and educated with at least 500 hours of flying time in extremely advanced highly complex computerised flying machines conducting complex flght manouvers over American air space....without a co-pilot and even on flight navigators (3 people).
The Pentagon since the 1960's does have technology which can fly CIVILIAN planes remotely, as a precursor to DRONES....and NASA'S ABILITY to send unmanned vehicles to Mars and back.
Given the above true scenario the fake Afghan 'war' against the CIA directed Taliban has gone on for approaching 19 years.
A bottomless cesspool of Deep State corruption, where at one time a complete budget in one year (including additional spending) in that country of $75 billion was supporting 8000 Pentagon warriors, who were essentially guarding the Opium fields of the CIA in the Pashtun belt.
To achieve peace in such a fake assumption is thus difficult, as there are no legitimate adversaries to deal with in that country......neither the Taliban, or the 6000 ISIS brought in by the Pentagon from Syria Iraq, or the Pakistani Taliban. The CIA dont want to leave as the Opium operation in Afghanistan since the 1980's is also very profitable for them.
So I'm going to suggest something radical, as you do in a blog.
1. The USA government should not negotiate with the Taliban, along the process of leaving the country. The Taliban is a CIA created entity (controlled opposition) and the likes of Sandy Berger and the DNC from 1994. Such an entity should not be legitimated by negotating with them. It goes without saying that the CIA SUNNI Taliban should not be relied on to follow 'conditionalities' before final peace. This would be a Sisyphean task......a self defeating task.
2. Afghans do not deserve the curse and scourage of Taliban power sharing in any future government in Kabul.
3. Simply leave Afghanistan by October 2020, and declare mission acomplished.(I Donald J Trump am the one who ended the Afghan 'war' FINALLY after 19 years.....election rally)
4. Afghanistan's problems are not the responsibility of the USA to solve.

Trump Conditionally Approves Afghan Peace Deal
The Taliban has publicly requested that the US provide clarification on their stance on the peace process. A deal which by all accounts was finished months ago, the Taliban are interested in where the US is going on the final deal.
It’s reasonable to ask, as since backing out of the last deal, President Trump has tried to add new conditions. Concerningly, Trump is now approving the deal, but only conditionally, and wants the Taliban to unilaterally cut violence in February first.
The US is planning troop cuts either way, but a concrete peace deal would oblige the US to actually leave Afghanistan, and almost certainly will establish a timetable for that. It would put an end to the US changing its mind on the war, as it has time and again over the last 19 years.
For the Taliban, the question is likely not so much about if they can cut violence, but if this time, meeting a Trump condition will net them anything. Trump had previously conditioned the deal on a ceasefire, and when the Taliban agreed he just added more demands.
