#2 As I said a few days back, this is all part of the ISI's long game to keep America's guns trained on the taliban in Afghanistan, while sheltering it themselves in Pakistain. It makes the taliban grateful guests and forever open to ISI 'suggestions'.

Yes, taliban and AQ are close, but all sunni organizations are interconnected. You cannot aid an islamic republic and not inadvertently aid islamic terrorism anyway.

It's in Pakistain's best interest to keep American forces in Afghanistan, and aid running every which way out if your treasury. Whether it does this by swinging that heroin carrot before your State Dept fobbits, or by shouting 'wolf!' every few days for the ⭔, all Pakistain wants is America's unending engagement in this dungheap.

#6 Prediction: Plugs will soon be jumping into bed with the Taliban. US funded 'infrastructure' projects, roads, schools, hospitals, etc. It was actually all our fault. Hunter will take the lead. You'll see.
