Uh no - that is the exact opposite of what happened. They emphatically refused to give him up and certainly didn't volunteer to give up power. Where the heck are you getting your information? Oh and it was 2001.
Here is an article from Dec. 2001 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/dec/07/afghanistan.julianborger1
The Taliban agreed to relinquish their last strong hold and relinquish their weapons in return for amnesty for Omar. We said no to diplomacy and yes to war. I am not saying Taliban would have kept their end of the bargain but we never even considered it.

Btw im not saying Bush should or shouldn’t have negotiated with them. Im just saying that he did refuse to listen to offers about it. Which is what Baltimore said. As for relinquishing power im not sure what he meant there.
WE use to have a policy that the US didn't negotiate with terrorists, I agreed with it then and agree with it now.

I mean you really can't. It's heartbreaking when people have to die. But if you keep doing it, more people will die, and terrorists will do it more often.

Saw something similar in Iraq. There was a kidnapping spree on foreigners (for money), but Americans were never targeted because we didn't pay ransom.

It's nice when we can agree on things.
Happy to see another turd flushed down the proverbial toilet. Next!

He was the last of the Al Qaeda leadership that was in place at the time of the 9/11 attacks. We had already killed or captured everyone else.

It's hard for me to believe that 9/11 was almost 21 years ago.
Good riddance Asshole.
