The Taliban are calling it a victory and soon they will be riding in new Hummers and have shiny new American war equipment and machines as the US military cuts and runs after 19 years of non-winning.
After Donald Trump's betrothal to Kim Jong Un was spurned, Donald is forlorn and seeks love elsewhere. The Taliban are obliging and will carry Donald over the threshold of the White House.
Dear Donald has unzipped and cocked up early by reneging on parts of the deal before the ink was dry. However, the Taliban are committed to proceeding to consummation.
“This is a day of victory,” said Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanekzai, a Taliban negotiator. “Victory has come with the help of God.”
The Taliban believe they have the right to perform the consummation on top.

The agreement does not require the terrorist group to recognize Afghanistan’s legitimately elected government.

On the eve of today’s ceremony to sign an agreement with the U.S. to begin peace negotiations, the Taliban declared it had already won. “This is a day of victory,” said Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanekzai, a Taliban negotiator. “Victory has come with the help of God.”
In one sense, this crowing seems premature. While it’s true that the U.S. intends to reduce its troop presence from more than 12,000 to 8,600, further withdrawals are conditioned on the Taliban adhering to its commitments to reduce violence and sever ties with al Qaeda. As Defense Secretary Mark Esper said in Kabul on Saturday, the U.S. “would not hesitate to nullify the agreement” if the Taliban reneges on its commitments.
Another condition for the Taliban will be to enter negotiations for a final peace settlement among Afghan groups themselves. That has always been a red line for the Taliban, which has never recognized the legitimacy of the elected government in Kabul. So why has it agreed to these talks now?
The answer is that the U.S. is being deliberately ambiguous about whether the Taliban is actually recognizing the elected government of Afghanistan, for which the U.S. and its coalition partners have fought and died.
