Navy SEAL Who Ran Bin Laden Raid: Negotiating with Taliban Will Reverse ‘All the Blood and Treasure We Have Put into Afghanistan’
by Bongino Staff Posted: September 20, 2019

Retired Adm. Bill McRaven, the Navy SEAL who oversaw the Bin Laden raid as head of Joint Special Operations Command, said earlier this week that “negotiation with the Taliban is like negotiating with ISIS.” He also determined that a negotiated peace may “not be possible.” Speaking at the New America Special Operations Forces Policy Forum, McRaven expressed his bleak outlook on peace with the Taliban.

“I never thought negotiations with the Taliban were the way to go…I’ve said on occasion negotiating with the Taliban is like negotiating with ISIS.” He admitted that the comparison may not be the best, “but, I do believe that if we negotiate some sort of settlement with the Taliban, that, you know, it won’t be six months or a year before all of the blood and treasure we have put into Afghanistan will have been reversed because the Taliban will come back in and do what the Taliban do.”
