This isn't an article so much as a few bullet-points that then turns into bullet-points for other foreign policy stories. I was definitely misled into thinking I would be reading an article about the Afghan peace deal. The only bits about the peace deal show CIA Director Mike Pompeo's perspective, and reveal nothing about the people of Afghanistan or even the cost of this continued war effort to the U.S. In fact, the author seems to take a militaristic view to the breaking story, reminding readers "that once a withdrawal is underway, it will be irreversible, risking the hard-won progress toward building a stable Afghanistan." This is the media and U.S. government continuing to move the goal posts for why we are in Afghanistan in the first place and misleads readers about the progress that's been made there. We entered Afghanistan to get Osama Bin Ladin. He's been dead for years. We're still occupying their country, which didn't attack us on 9/11 (Bin Ladin and Al-Qaeda are not the same as the Afghan Government). And we're spending trillions of dollars to stay there.
