Trump: US Role in Afghanistan Has Become ‘Ridiculous’ Police Force
Says US needs continued presence

Speaking on Afghanistan, President Trump remained non-committal on the peace plan being negotiated with the Taliban, continuing to say only that “we’ll see what happens.” He did, however, point toward clearly being inclined to end the war.

Trump says that after 18 years the US is “not really fighting” in Afghanistan, but rather acting as a “ridiculous” police force, adding “we’re not supposed to be a police force.”

All indications are that the Afghan peace deal is all set to go, and Trump was briefed on the matter on Friday. Exactly what his position is, however, still isn’t entirely clear, as he both talks down the merits of staying but emphasizes his willingness to keep troops there.

Good on Mr. Trump for having the courage to say this.

We should get OUT of there ASAP, every last man (and woman), and not even bother looking back.

It's a sh**hole.
Let the muzzies have it to themselves.
And once they do, the more of them that kill each other over the place... the better.
