PESHAWAR, Pakistan — News that the White House had ordered the Pentagon to draw up plans for a troop withdrawal from Afghanistan provoked widespread criticism that the move would kneecap efforts to broker a peace deal to end America's longest war.
But there was one group on Friday celebrating the reports — the Taliban.
Senior members told NBC News the news was a clear indication they were on the verge of victory.
“The 17-year-long struggle and sacrifices of thousands of our people finally yielded fruit," said a senior Taliban commander from Afghanistan’s Helmand province. "We proved it to the entire world that we defeated the self-proclaimed world’s lone super power."
“We are close to our destination," added the commander, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the group's leadership had prohibited members from talking to the media about current events. He added that all field commanders had also been told to intensify training efforts to capture four strategic provinces in the run up to the next round of talks between the U.S. and Taliban, which are expected in January.
A Taliban leader in eastern Kunar province, Maulvi Sher Mohammad, said news of withdrawals should serve as a lesson to Americans.
Trump says we have 'defeated ISIS', while there are tens of thousands in Syria and Afghanistan.
Trump is a genius……………

Oh no (((they're))) making a big deal out of this better send in more troops and bombs and never leave ever I guess I mean c'mon what are we antisemites?
Ethan Howard
Youre right. Another 9/11 attack is no big deal, right?
just because you rinate into bottles and sit unbathed for days in front of your videogames, anime & imageboards, you assume that everybody else shares your lack of hygiene?

Not much of a news, anyone who isn't a kike or a neocon greets the withdrawal

Heavy shilling ITT boys. JIDF is PISSED that greater Israel failed. Their plans are collapsing worldwide and its fucking GLORIOUS.
Jaxon Harris
lol hahaha !!… obviously, you've never served in the military
Its humorous to watch your incessant need to apply your predictable 'crisis actor template' onto EVERYTHING, negating any credibility you may have ever had.
Landon Rivera
They are probably gutted about the recent withdrawal. The US presence in their country was a great recruiting tool for them.
Jackson Long
…..but i thought they were crisis actors……
Jayden Brooks
lmao@thinking the government would feel the need to create 'false flag' vents and hire 'crisis actors' o manipulate the opinions of 11 computer geeks who sit in an imageboard.
Xavier Scott
I just realized this kike had that response locked and loaded for when he got called out. My lord the shilling.
Lucas Bell
What's with all the left wing posting going on here. It's beginning to look like a twitter comment section. I guess the JIDF has to really push to get rid of popular dissent now.
Ill be sure to notify you the minute anybody begins giving a flying fuck about your opinions
nope… I actually created it on the spot
Gavin Bennett
so…. You actually think it's 'right wing' to want to embolden ISIS?….
and you think wanting to neuter ISIS is 'left wing'?….
REALLY ?…….
weirdo
Sebastian Cooper
Who gives a fuck about ISIS? Let them fuck their goats, America First.

This is going to be bad. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. But Monday. Monday for sure.

shut up schlomo, your mossad plants only have credibility in mainstream media (which is being sapped by the second thanks to your falsehoods nonetheless)
