On Monday night a front man for US Forces in Afghanistan quoted Gen. Scott Miller, the commander of the Resolute Support Mission and US forces in Afghanistan: "The reduction in violence was a confidence builder. We're very serious about our obligations and we expect the Taliban will be serious about their obligations. The United States has been very clear about our expectations‐the violence must remain low."

I told you they won't let you leave. It'd be best if the American forces simply denied that peace has been broken and... err, continue to leave. Leave them to their fate and kill them from afar if they dare venture in your domain again.

#2 the violence must remain low.

Now those are yet close to realistic hopes.

#6 Because the Afghan Gov never agreed to it. The Taliban can demand ice cream cones for every member but until agreement, have only doorknobs to lick.

#7 You cannot expect them to honor an agreement when they have no honor. It's time to walk away.

#8 Because the Afghan Gov never agreed to it.

Pliny Black9343 nails it. The Taliban are the only ones who loudly claimed it had been agreed to. In fact, the Taliban are imprisoned by the Afghans, not the Americans. And the Afghans were not included in the negotiations. They are just gearing up to send their negotiators to Doha now, I believe, and no doubt an exchange of prisoners is one of the items on the agenda.
