That&#8217;s the way that it should have been from the beginning. ISIS has been operating in Afghanistan for more than a year, and the troops had to wait for bureaucrats to get off their fat asses and write a letter to allow them to kill the enemies of this country. I&#8217;m sure that John Kerry entertained the notion that he could negotiate with them before it got to this point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News and the Wall Street Journal report that the Pentagon has loosened the rules of &hellip; <a title=\"ROE loosened in regards to ISIS in Afghanistan\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=63966\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">ROE loosened in regards to ISIS in Afghanistan<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54421,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[175,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-john-kerry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=63966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/54421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=63966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=63966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=63966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
