I saw this story today and found it interesting. Honestly I wasn't even sure that the U.S. was still in Afghanistan.
But what really fascinated me was that it's not bigger news. I can see why people mistrust the MSM.
The New York Times, to its credit, placed it at the top of its site, but it could have been more attention-grabbing.
CNN has it slotted with some other headlines to the right. Though I am automatically routed to its international edition, which has bigger headlines about Brexit and Venezuela.
I don't see it anywhere on the home pages for MSNBC or Fox News, both of which seem more interested in pop culture and scandals.
My point is, if Obama or Hillary administrations had brokered this peace, we'd already be hearing that Harrah's has them at 2-1 odds for a Nobel. (Obama already has a Nobel, even though he bombed seven sovereign nations.)
It's similar to what Nixon went through in 1973. I'm sure this agreement isn't perfect, but it's about time, no?
