Secretary of State Rex Tillerson meets with Afghanistan Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani at the State Department on March 22, 2017.

This is pure evil. Even Obama never went this far.

Winning in Afghanistan looks like “reconciliation” among the Taliban and the Afghan government and the end of terrorist safe havens, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told “Fox News Sunday.”

I think we all recognize that for the past couple of years, the Taliban has been advancing and Afghan forces have been unable to push them back. So, there will be a definite change in military tactics on the ground.

Now, all of this is directed at sending a message to the Taliban that we are not going anywhere. We’re going to be here. We’re going to continue to fight for the Afghan government, support the Afghan security forces.

And what needs to happen is the Taliban needs to engage with Afghan government in a process of reconciliation and developing a way to govern the country in the future.

Tillerson noted that the 9/11 attacks were organized and carried out from Afghanistan.  “So, in Afghanistan, we have to secure Afghanistan in a way that that can never occur again because there’s no territory available to organizations to do so.”

In his speech last week, President Trump said the United States is not interested in nation-building. The president believes that the Afghan people must own their form of government, Tillerson said on Sunday.

“And they must come to some reconciliation with all ethnic groups, including the Taliban, as to how they can secure their country, as a peaceful country, one that does not support terrorism, does not provide safe havens for terrorists and does not align itself with any terrorist organizations or countries that do.

“That’s what winning looks like,” he added.
