Germany to restart deportation process of jihadi-infiltrated Afghan refugees
Despite reports that members of the Taliban and the Islamic State are among this group of 12,000 Afghans to be deported, so far only 107 have actually been sent back.

Obama: “The United States cannot eliminate the Taliban”
Of course it can’t, because Obama has hamstrung the military with rules of engagement that make effective action impossible. He has crippled the military’s ability to understand, and thus to counter effectively, the motivating ideology of the enemy.
