Wyot	It is very foolhardy to negotiate with The Taliban; they are almost as untrustworthy as the UK Government.

What was it that Margaret Thatcher used to say about it?

Wyot	We are too self-conscious now to actually invade, settle and develop an empire but will insist in meddling. What was the point? Cow terorists for a few years? (did we? No idea...) Let women know a but of freedom before it is taken away again. The Romans wouldn't have invaded a place with no end game. Either do it properly (call it what it is) or stay in your own borders and mind your own business; and yes, sorry, our troops who lost their lives in Afghanistan did die in vain. I think this is terrible; not something to be spun and glossed over by glib politicians.
hedda	Interesting interview with a CIA boss who has just left Afghanistan on CNN who said the "pull out" could not have happened any other way now or later. He claims: If you sent in planes or helicopters en masse as a build up of transport the Taliban (not stupid) would immediately recognize what was happening and make plans and ensure airport access was impossible If you started destroying US weapons and camps the Tal;iban would know exactly what was happening. If you announced a certain date the exact same thing would happen. There couldn't even be "chatter" among troops as the Taliban would hear (spies everywhere) If you warned Embassy staff the Taliban would hear (spies everywhere) The only possible pull out method had to be to spring it suddenly and yes, it will be messy. ## he did say probably best not to have released 5000 Taliban as Trump did until after the pull out. They now run the place.
