#1 Why didn't the SpecFor guys just start shooting Dostum's guys?

#2 Hindsight is always 20-20, but when we had all the Taliban forces surrounded at Kondoz, we should have taken them all out right then and there. Unfortunately, there were Pak officers there too, and we had to make a deal with the devil and let the Paks fly them out.

IIRC, Dostum had a bunch of prisoners from Kondoz locked in an ocean container or two, where they eventually died. Dostum is a mean, ruthless character, Afghanistan is a mean, ruthless place. You got to deal with these types of people. Comes with the territory. Ask any somewhat objective anthropologist.
