The Hill | It’s time to leave Afghanistan
The intra-Afghan negotiations represent the first time since the conflict began that Afghans will sit down and discuss their considerable differences together. But it's also an opportune time for Washington to do what it should have done years ago: extricate the U.S. military from the war.
Approximately 8,000 U.S. troops remain in Afghanistan — nearly 19 years after U.S. military operations against al Qaeda and the Taliban commenced. The American people have been asking themselves the same question throughout that long period: when will Americans in uniform finally pull out of a conflict that has lost its purpose? |
