President Trump’s frighteningly pathetic foreign policy record got even worse Saturday as it released details outlining an ignominious, terrorist-friendly retreat from Afghanistan. As if to confirm just how feckless the Trump team was, the Taliban already began flouting the “peace deal” within two days after its details were announced.

The best early assessment of the deal came from Steve Hayes at the Dispatch. It notes that the Taliban gives up next to nothing in the agreement, while the United States capitulates on almost all the important points. Hayes didn’t put it in these words, but U.S. forces effectively will leave with tails between their legs.
