Turner: Trump’s in an ‘Unenviable’ Position with Afghanistan Because He Has No ‘Easy or Good Options’

EXCERPT:

TURNER: "The President is in an unenviable position here. I mean that in the sense that he has no easy or good options. He is not from day one, much like President Obama who came before him. There is an element here, too, that I would be remiss in not pointing out. I’ve been having a sense of deja vu all weekend. It’s almost like the beginning of 2009 all over again when we had a new president, President Obama who came to the White House. The situation on the ground was stalled, if not deteriorating rapidly. We had already been in the country for a few years then. The Taliban was making inroads, as you mentioned. ISIS didn't exist then, but the seeds that would later turn into ISIS were sort of being planted then. We had Russia trying to make inroads in Afghanistan."
