"The focus of discussion will be reduction of violence that leads to intra-Afghan negotiations and a ceasefire,' said the source briefed on efforts to end almost two decades of war in Afghanistan."

And what, exactly, have we accomplished in those two decades? And what have we accomplished in Iraq?

Delenda est Islam.
