U.S. Uses Attacks to Nudge Taliban Toward a Deal
A dual-track strategy of force and talks is the latest in what appears to be an effort by the United States to negotiate an end to the Afghan war.“The idea that killing insurgents will take us to negotiations seems pretty doubtful,” Mr. Waldman said. “They have an infinite capacity to regenerate.”
