ISiS is a JV team, Saddam keep the peace, the Taliban are our friends and can be trusted…dems have a soft spot for terrorist it seems and tyrants it seemsInformants, CIA Agents, along with cell phones, but that doesn't mean we track everything and / or know everything. Again, when we took down UBL we found a treasure trove of data giving us the identities and locations of several cells, information we did not have before despite all of that.
If you / the OP are trying to make the argument that the Taliban,who gave safe haven to Al Qaeda and ISIS prior to 9/11, were / are innocent choir boys/ poppy-growing camel salesmen who were falsely accused and attacked 20 years ago you're full of shit.
The Taliban beheaded an American. They surrounded the airport as we were trying to leave. They set up checkpoints, blocked Americans trying to make it to the airport, beat up Americans. They freed thousands of tge worst, most violent Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Taliban terrorists. They seized control of Jabul after Biden refused to take and secure it. They allowed those terrorists to kill 13 Americans and murder/wound over 100 more. They allowed tge terrorists to shoot at planes coming in and leaving Kabul and to attack the airport.
Yeah, they're not terrorists.
In case you could not tell, that was some SERIOUS sarcasm...
