However, I have two big concerns: the reality of pulling all U.S. troops out on a 14-month withdrawal timeline and the terrorist sanctuaries in Pakistan. If we remove our presence in Afghanistan too quickly, the ethnic minorities historically opposed to the Taliban will rearm.

This will fracture the Afghan Army and create a vacuum for ISIS and Al Qaeda 3.0. We could find ourselves in a much more precarious situation where America is fighting its way back to a sustainable position without local allies, losing even more US soldiers along the way.

The agreement also says little about terrorist sanctuaries in Pakistan, where ISIS and Al Qaeda are headquartered.

Even if — and that’s a big "if" — the Taliban are sincere and join forces with the Afghan Army, they both lack the military capabilities to keep Al Qaeda and ISIS at bay, meaning a U.S. military presence will STILL be required.

The status quo is not great and there has been much sacrifice — but it HAS kept America safe for two decades and doing this agreement the wrong way could make this much worse. I look forward to being briefed on the details of this hopefully historic agreement.

The
#AfghanPeaceDeal is the best deal we've reached in the region. This time, we've negotiated withdrawal in exchange for peace. We must give the deal the space needed to work while preparing to walk away if the#Taliban doesn't hold up their end of the deal.pic.twitter.com/ISQ9XvjWxuDeze collectie tonen

Indeed, Pakistani Army will wait and can easily gather Taliban or Definitely Haqaani 2.0 as she has done it before and will do it again. After all, they're groups, not state. To put pressure & smoothly run this process, US must remain in Afghanistan even less than 1000 forces.

Trumpilforskin has signed up to get all the people who shorted a us presence killed. The taliban will be killing people in the soccer fields soon. If this horror show goes forward without immediately opening our doors to the refugees then we are complicit in the murders ahead.
