Trump will "provide an update on the path forward for America’s engagement in Afghanistan and South Asia," the White House said.
The president hinted Saturday that he and top U.S. generals have agreed on a new strategy for America's longest war, after huddling Friday at the presidential Camp David retreat.

He needs to pull the frick out.
Or at the very least announce what victory means in Afghanistan and put a plan together to accomplish it. Now we are just wasting money and lives over there.

Thousands of lives and over a trillion dollars, the Taliban will take over when we leave.

There's no victory there to be had.

Can't wait for McCain to lecture us about how we should all support our president now that he's got his dying wish.

It's time to withdraw. There is no path to "victory" if victory is defined as Afghanistan being a stable, democratic nation that can handle it's own security against Islamists. The original point of the war was to destroy or majorly disrupt Al Qaeda. To that extent, it was effective. Time to get out and stop pretending like that country will ever be pacified by us and turned into a Western style democracy. It's not our responsibility.

The Soviet Union got their arse handed to them in Afghanistan. What ever made the U.S. think it could do better from a world away.
The Afghans have made better countries than us quit.

The Taliban is not Al Queda. It's a political party based on Islam. They allowed AQ to use their country as a base for terrorism.
I say we get out but keep an air base their (like Gitmo on Cuba) to keep ISIS or new versions of it from using it as a base for terrorism.

We should offer peace plan and if rejected send 70,000-100,000 troops. Beat them out of every stronghold they have and enlist mercenaries. Bring absolute hell until we get our peace deal.
Otherwise we will spend another 15 years there or longer. So we go big and prepare to get nast with Afghan troops and mercenaries. Bring some offense.
