| #7 You want the administration (CIA) plan, here's the plan. After the end of the month, everything in AFG will go dark, very dark. That's the plan. No more cellie calls or media bits from AFG? Everything must be fine. |

| #5 /\ Burns is a deep State guy. He was a career diplomat Translation: Career CIA Foggy Bottom plant. Carried their water downtown all those years, now he's the Director. That's the way it works in D.C. Klingon pissboy makes good. |

| #4 Baradar has had a history of intermittent discussions with the CIA. The CIA was instrumental in getting him released from US custody in 2018 (yes, under Trump). Burns is a deep State guy. He was a career diplomat for many years then a deputy Sec of State under Obama, and Pres of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace before becoming chief of the CIA. |

| #1 CIA never was happy to have DoD involved except as pool boys. Now they want to run wild and free in the Stan without any interference. |
