WNU Editor: The Taliban were hit hard by U.S. forces when Presidents Bush and Obama were in the White House .... even with their rules of engagement that restricted U.S. operations. The Taliban are talking about peace right now because they believe that President Trump is sincere when he is saying that he wants U.S. forces out of Afghanistan, and they see this as an opportunity to have coalition forces out of Afghanistan .... Trump 'serious' about Afghan withdrawal, Taliban says (AFP). As to how sincere the Taliban are about the peace process .... I have zero trust in what they say.
