Peace Treaty with the Taliban

You do know that we just lost another war.  After years of fighting in Afghanistan the U.S.policy just became one of “cut and run.”  The so-called “peace treaty” with the Taliban is an agreement that the Taliban would reduce violence (which they have already broken) and some vague “benchmarks” contained in “annexes” to the agreements which members of Congress are not allowed to see.  

Bottom line is the U.S. will have no leverage if the Taliban continue to  violate the agreements.  Afghan women have been sold down the river.  Afghan citizens who hoped to live in peace will have their hopes dashed.  And Trump will take credit for removing Americans from Afghanistan.  He won’t take credit for the defeat.  He won’t call it a defeat, but that is what it is.
