The taliban were targetted because they had the audacity to deny our requests unless we provided real documentation and evidence.
We said no. But the target is still supposedly Al Quaeda. We are not talking about prosecuting anyone in the Taliban unless they also happen to be members of Al Quaeda.
You already know this. You just argue in order to argue. One of my faults as well. How about we save the bandwidth and agree to disagree.
The Taliban leadership was basically purchased by Al Quaeda. They are criminals all, and should be tried and incarcerated (not in that order), and in some instances, executed. I hope that helps.
