We tried that once - they were called The Barbary Pirates. Didn’t work. We still had to kick their butts.

God help us all. Maybe Biden can talk with the Taliban and refer them to some good web “numbers.”

They may agree to only execute women who show the leg ABOVE the ankle and to use the soccer stadium for soccer on the weekends.

Just send Biden up in the mountains and let him talk to them......alone. If he truly trusts them, he shouldn’t have problem with this.

That’s the thing about democrats, they have no problem
reinforcing failure, get ready to see billions spent uselessly, I mean these policies worked so well with Fatah/Hamas/PLO.

Whoo wee, the Tah-lee-bhan were always wusses. Who could have ever thought that all it would take is “plugs” doin’ the negotiatin’.

Shame Bill Clinton failed to notice that.

Clueless, self-aggrandizing, naive libtards...

if they are so confident about this policy, why doesn’t Biden go up to the mountains and talk to them?

A*SHOLE, IS GOING TO GET PEOPLE KILLED...

Personally, I hope Mr. Plugs and Obamboozle Namby Pamby Amateur actually go to Afghanistan THEMSELVES to negotiate with those warm, friendly, tolerant and understanding Talibannies.

I don't think it would be too dangerous. At least I certainly hope not. I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to The One and Mr. Plugs Footinmouth.
