#4 Afghan has been responsible for 19 years of tremendous profit for our weapons manufacturers. You think they're going to give up on their gravy train just like that?

#5 Not so much allies I'd say, perhaps more a hammer/anvil deal. At any rate, a sign that the Afghan/Taliban agreement has some traction if both those two sides feel they have troops freed up for an offensive against ISIS.

If there is going to be peace, or at least a truce, then the loose cannon ISIS, who nobody likes, needs to be knocked out.
