Make Up Your Minds

The negotiations with the Taliban to try to end the Afghan war have brought out the crazy nature of those who oppose President Trump.  For a long time, they complained that Trump didn't end the war.  They ignored the fact that president Obama called Afghanistan the right war to fight.  Then we started negotiating with the Taliban to see if a peace deal could be reached.  The response from the Dems was to ask how we could negotiate with a group like the Taliban.  Of course, as the President said yesterday, it is impossible to end a war by negotiation if you don't talk to the other side.  In any event, the Dems went crazy when they learned that Taliban representatives were supposed to come to Camp David for discussions.  What an outrage to have the Taliban at a meeting.  Then, because the Taliban attacked and killed a group of people including an American soldier, Trump cancelled that meeting.  The Dems' response:  if you guessed that they are outraged, you'd be correct.  How could Trump cancel peace talks?  What an outrage.  It's rather amazing.  If Trump holds the peace talks the left thinks it's outrageous.  If he doesn't hold the peace talks, the left thinks it's outrageous. 

It's hard to believe that a group of people who actually consider themselves to understand foreign policy could behave in such a silly manner.  I wonder if they actually understand what they are saying.
