2020-09-21
[KhaamaPress] Pompeo speaking at an Atlantic Council, pointed there are fewer than 200 Alqaeda members left in Afghanistan.

"We are now delivering a set of outcomes that will reduce the cost of blood from our American servicemen and women," Pompeo said.

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.

The agreement requires the United States to withdraw its remaining troops from Afghan soil.

#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.
