Since you seem intent on dancing around the issues, I'll try and restate my points so you can confuse them again.

As far a the Taliban goes, the President has said that he intends to destroy it and remove it from power. Nowhere did he say anything about killing every member of that party.

As a comparison, I made the point that after WWII, both MacArthur and Patton, in their roles as military leaders in occupied territories, chose memebers of the Nazi party (Patton) and Japanese royalty (Mac) to help reestablish viable governments in those countries. My point is that being a member of an EVIL organization did not completely disqualify some people, properly chosen, to aid in reestablishing self-rule. As I recall, our government labelled Nazis EVIL, just as we have the Taliban, but that did not stop them from using some members of the party.

You are making a big point out of an old report that some in our government would not object to memebers of the Taliban party retaining power in the new government. Since nothing further has come out of that story, and there were no Taliban named to the interim government, your complaint is baseless.

And you STILL didn't answer the question about the pipelines. Why aid in the destruction of the WTC and the deaths of thousands to build a pipeline, when the same result could have been easily accomplished with a simple diplomatic manuever?

And your explanation about "multiple pipelines" is the silliest yet. You mean to tell me the government was complicit in the deaths of all those people in order to keep an OPTION open for building a pipeline?

Your arguments get more and more tenuous.
