Tillerson: The Entire Effort Is Designed to Put Pressure on the Taliban and to Say You Will Not Win

‘These are some of the same tactics that have been employed in the very successful campaign to defeat ISIS in Syria and Iraq’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

TILLERSON: "It is very difficult for many of our aid workers to operate in Afghanistan. So as the security environment improves, we expect to -- to adopt a different approach as to how we deliver on the development and assistance that supports the Afghan government in their reforms as well. I think the president was clear, this entire effort is intended to put pressure on the Taliban to have the Taliban understand you will not win a battlefield victory. We may not win one but neither will you. And so at some point, we have to come to the negotiating table and find a way to bring this to an end."
