To be clear, I don't have a problem with the US trying to negotiate a peace with our enemies. I do have a problem with treating sworn enemies as honored guests, which an invitation to Camp David infers.

This President hasn't a problem in treating allies with less honors than this.

Pretty much the Afghan government is much like the Czech President at the Munich Pact. So now the US is Chamberlain?

IF not for the Taliban boasting about killing the marine and 11 others, this would have happened. The mistake wasn't in killing this time or for the past few months, it was boasting to the news reporters about their reasoning, of 'gaining strength' for the negotiations. Without a doubt, the Taliban would have gained the title of The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

If they'd just 'stfu' it would have been a deal.
