Neither facts that the Taliban is currently harboring terrorists, and clearly lied when promised they would not do so, should be a shock to anyone. So what now? Do we keep playing whack-a-terrorist with drones forever? What other options do we have?

We were just in Afghanistan for 20 years and didn't stop the Taliban so what exactly would we do to "punish" them? Anything done to them really just punishes the people of Afghanistan. It doesn't really hurt the Taliban at all.
I thought he died like a year or two ago honestly. Looking it up realize there were reports of he was either dead or "off the grid."
It's not really our problem to deal with. The Afghan people need to step up and take their country back.

Interesting... i think i recall a conversation on this forum where I expressed that this was going to happen when we pulled out and I was sand blasted about being wrong and not knowing what I was talking about... OKAY, I am done being a baby about it now, just had a little laugh.
But I 100% agree with what SFC Kelly Fuerhoff stated in their response... we would only hurt the people of Afghanistan, the Taliban does not care nor will they respond to the U.S. And spot on with saying the Afghan people need to step up!

Great question -- staying the course kinetically is easy, but it will be a multigenerational social/economic effort to "win" the war on ideology. The children over there will need to live in a world where they see that they and their kids/grandkids have a future not dependent on medieval ways
