According to the U.S — Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
Deal, the Taliban vowed to cut ties with Alqaeda and other krazed killer groups.

#5 To be fair, he didn’t mention the membership of resident Al Qaeda-affiliated groups, those multiply-affiliated depending on the day of the week, or visitors sent for training in the jihadi arts.

#6 This is a just as silly looking as separating the McDonalds franchises (Taliban and other Rent-A-Bandit mercenaries) from the McDonald corporation franchising office (AlQaeda/ISIS leadership cadre)... It may be true but it doesn't mean anything that a few incoming airline flights couldn't change.
