I appreciate our military responding to acts of violence by the Taliban, which are inconsistent with the peace agreement.
I support an effort to reconcile the Taliban with the Afghan government on terms favorable to the Constitution of Afghanistan and the rights of women and religious minorities.
However, I will never support relying on the Taliban to police al Qaeda and ISIS — who are dead-set on attacking American interests throughout the world.
The Taliban have questionable will and when it comes to capability are profoundly lacking in controlling al Qaeda and ISIS elements in Afghanistan.
The good news is the American homeland can be protected from ISIS and al Qaeda threats emanating from Afghanistan with a relatively small U.S. counterterrorism force.

If President Obama had left a residual U.S. counterterrorism force in Iraq, there would not have been an ISIS.
