Afghan Forces, Taliban Face Off in 17 Provinces after Peace Deal

[ToloNews] A fresh spate of violence kicked off in at least seventeen Afghan provinces on Tuesday, a day after the Taliban

announced they would resume military operations against the Afghan cops. The Afghan Ministry of Interior said there were 33 attacks by the Taliban and at least six non-combatants were killed in the past 24 hours.

The fighting between the two sides comes days after a weekslong Reduction in Violence (RIV) and a peace deal signed by the United States and the Taliban on Saturday. The peace deal outlined terms for the withdrawal of US and coalition forces from Afghanistan in exchange for a number of solid assurances by the Taliban, including that they cut ties to al-Qaeda and prevent Afghanistan from becoming a safe haven for terrorist groups. The deal, signed in Doha, coincided with a joint Afghan-US declaration in Kabul that mirrored the Doha deal in laying out plans for intra-Afghan talks and an eventual ceasefire. # id) ?>

1 Whew! So glad this doesn't concern us any more!

The Afghan "government" was always a joke. They're an easy price to pay to get out of there. The whole of Afghanistan isn't worth a single more American's life. Not one more.

2 Praise Allah Herb! It's not as if the plague of fundamentalist Muslims there tried to murder 50,000 human Americans on 9-11. Right?

On the other hand it was definitely the evil Christian West the inspired Muhammad's 610 AD call for global jihad. Right Herb?

6 I thought it was Saudis that were at the controls.

Sure, but Al Qaeda had been sheltered in Afghanistan by the ruling Taliban ever since they fled Sudan.

7 I don't want US troops there, but I wouldn't be opposed to a few B-52 strikes if opportunity presents itself on our way out.

Just a reminder that we can't nation build cultural failures into a real nation but we can slaughter better than anyone in history.
