I mean if the plan is NOT to make a country out of Afghanistan why even take it out on the Taliban? It's the least violent of those groups. It developed laws and managed to enforce them throughout 95% of Afghanistan. They were messed up as per our standards but probably something better than what Karzai would do when the forces have left.
Least voilent of the factions?

And "enforcing laws" in 95% of the country?

They'll just not fight till you're gone. Their supply line is a whole ethnic group of Pashtun Afghanis.
Nope. Pashtuns weren't shooting at the Taliban for no reason. The Taliban drew support from the Durranis and the other Pasthun groups got a feeling of being cannon fodder which sparked revolts. The Taliban increasingly had a hard time finding Afghanis to fight.

Better put their supply line is Pakistan.

Please tell us next how they wiped out opuim production...
