US is playing diplomatic cards according to current situation. They know they can't uproot Taliban. So why not give them little share in the pie and make Afghanistan a permanent base of US meanwhile taking some share in $ 1 trillion reserve as said by Oscar.
I think, US will still get the best out from this condition. They can't win this war, so they don't want to win this war. So they took plan B and seems like everyone will take the bait.
Interesting thing to see will be how much power US will allow Taliban to have to make them against Chinese influence and investment.
Flawed analysis. Taliban never accepted any USA conditions.
ITS THE TALIBAN LAYING CONDITIONS HERE.
Taliban is saying all FOREIGN TROOPS MUST LEAVE. Whats so hard to understand here?
Meaning Taliban wants to fight to the end! They don't mind dying what they believe in.
Only USA is going to lose, because people are now figuring what is going on now.
LOL, did you see what Webmaster said, "America has accepted Taliban as a reality, what a quote."
THATS A FAR CRY FROM WHAT AMERICAN SAID IN 2001, how they don't negotiate with "terrorists."
LOL When you start negotiating with your enemy, YOU HAVE LOST THE WAR!
People in the Congress, Political elites in USA, now know they have to give their people an "answer."
They don't want to tell their people they the lost war. Because that will shows America's weaknesses.
The cracks are already beginning to show.
Even American on Facebook are beginning to realize that the Taliban won the war.
The war was a disaster for USA. USA may claim to have killed Osama Bin Laden, but the Taliban very much controlled Afghanistan.
USA lost the war when they coupled Taliban and Al Qaeda together, when they are totally two different movements.
Al Qaeda is a global movement while the Taliban is just local to Afghanistan.
THE WORLD IS WATCHING CLOSELY.
EVERYONE!
I always read the news everyday to see whats going on Afghanistan.
