iraq. now with afghanistan, announcing the withdrawal. so what they are doing here by talking to the taliban and trying to get a political resolution to this is just an excuse to get out. this is not about protecting the united states. why wouldn t we want to get out? isn t the whole point to get out. to kill and destroy the enemy. the objective is to protect the united states, period. that is the only objective we ve had. the negotiations with a terrorist adversary, are is no negotiation to be had, do you think that is wise thing? i do think it s wise. because after the began government has been secretly negotiating with the taliban, the united states is aware of that. i think per se comes in with the vice president. the taliban does have power over
people in more rural areas. the people have allegiance to some of the areas with the taliban. that is the reason the afghan government worked with them because if they negotiate with them they are protecting their best interests and in the long run, that protects americans. monica: what does it say for ten years of engagement, if we have identified the enemy as al-qaeda and taliban and there is an afghani taliban and pakistani taliban, we still have troops on the ground taking bullets from the taliban, what does that say, okay, we re going to withdraw. and it goes back to taliban control in afghanistan that is the way it is. it ain t great. if biden hasn t said that yet he probably will. what i remember from the taliban they don t necessarily leave afghanistan. they aren t coming over to our towers.

shellered bin laden and was responsible for 9/11. it s just disgraceful. the vice president has some idea that we can negotiate some kind of peace settlement with the taliban while we are leaving and by the way, news reports are they want to trade as confidence building measures to release taliban prisoners from guantanamo. this is the wrong headed kind of thing i have ever than countered. monica: you are hundred percent correct. were you really surprised given the fact that this administration they do want a political settlement in afghanistan so hightail out of there and high tailed out of iraq and they have sent john kerry and reaching out to the muslim brotherhood which is sworn to the destruction of the west and israel. this is an administration on one hand we re fighting islamic terror but we re getting into the bed with some of the same
president s statement that taliban is not our enemy. i have been flooded from comments about men and women that serve in the military. it shows what the reaction of the men and women who is serving. if they aren t the enemy who has been shooting at us all the time? it is unbelievable that the vice president of the united states who does have some foreign policy experience albeit almost always wrong includes the surge wouldn t succeed. for the vice president of the united states to make a statement likes that is an insult to the men and women serving today, like the young man from afghanistan wrote, what about what about the families of those that have been killed by the ides the same taliban that
