The United States welcomes the announcement that Afghanistan peace negotiations will begin September 12. This is an historic moment and Afghanistan’s best chance at ending forty years of war and bloodshed.

Echoes of the John Kerry '04 campaign and the $87 billion for Iraq and Afghanistan - @JoeBiden now says he was against NAFTA after voting for it.

Peace cannot be made on the backs of #AfghanWomen.

I’ve joined 104 global leaders in calling for Afghan women’s full participation in the peace process and the preservation of equality, democracy, and inclusivity in Afghanistan. https://t.co/4FWyovd7Ir
Unfortunate rise in violent incidents on both sides of Pak-Afghan Border is meant to derail Afghanistan Peace Process. #Pakistan earnestly believes that both countries deserve peace and progress. Together we will defeat all spoilers.

Patriot Act, Department of Homeland Security, ICE, Guantanamo, bombing of Afghanistan for the next 19 years and counting, special registration program, over 30,000 Muslims deported, families and communities ripped apart... but yeah, no mass outbreak of anti-Muslim sentiment. https://t.co/Ddt4sLAstE

Trump said it’s a “record” that there have been no US deaths in Afghanistan since February.

Two US soldiers died there in non-combat incidents in July.
Somber reminder of US Military casualties in the war in Afghanistan:
— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) September 11, 2020
Bush: 630
Obama: 1758
Trump: 63
One more US casualty in this war is one too many. Thank you @realDonaldTrump for winding this war down. Let’s end it.
End the #endlesswars

How many times has Donald Trump announced he’s bringing home the troops, yet the number of troops in Afghanistan and Iraq is still the same as when he entered office.

Good to be in Doha for important Afghanistan peace negotiations. The people of Afghanistan deserve a country that isn't at war, and we are here to support them in building a roadmap to a peaceful future. pic.twitter.com/fdwo8x0gwE

Trump just said there has been “nobody killed in Afghanistan since early February,...no deaths, no problems.”

That’s not true.
There have been no US servicemembers *killed in action by the enemy* but US servicemembers take risks just by being there — and HAVE died there.
