    And many have joined Al Qaeda, they had to. But what I mean is that there is no established organization with a foothold in Afghanistan, and an alliance with the Taliban, as Al-Qaeda has.

    Originally posted by park police The Taliban actually has been fighting with al Qaeda lately, not sure about ISIS.

    I don't think ISIS is there - although they do have connections - because ISIS is their mutual rival and both Al Qaeda and Taliban share antipathy towards them.

    The point is that they Al Qaeda and the Taliban are allies. This does not mean that they have merged or always adhere to one another’s input and objectives. It has always been a long-standing but difficult partnership. They have areas of major divergence.

    Since the beginning the two groups have differed on their strategic objectives. The Taliban continues to be very committed and focused on Afghanistan, and has never embraced al-Qaeda’s global jihadist ambitions. However, they cooperate in Afghanistan and expect future cooperation, because they share a desire to expel U.S. forces from Afghanistan and re-instate Taliban rule. That objective is never going to change. It is true that the Taliban does not rely on Al Qaeda the way it used to, but they do maintain a foothold there. This arrangement works fine for Al Qaeda because the insurgency in Afghanistan is not its top priority.

    Things may change though, al-Zawahiri is not Bin Laden. These things are difficult to predict, only time will tell. But one thing is for sure; their ties run deeper.

    Having said that, I've always been of the opinion that US should get the hell out of Afghanistan. They can't keep it, they never have. Afghanistan is a failed corrupt state as it is. And the Taliban’s greatest strength is its ability to capitalize on widespread local grievances and the Afghan government’s lack of legitimacy.

    "In exchange for the phased withdrawal, the Taliban would commit not to allow Afghanistan to be used by militant groups such as al Qaeda or Islamic State as a base for attacks on the United States and its allies."

    Sure thing. Luulz!
