Who are the Taliban to make demands? Only Pakistan entertains these clowns. AQ had already attacked the US twice in the 90s. They were in no mood for negotiations. Don't be salty they had the balls to protect their interests and you are still trying to figure out which side to pick.
Your confusion cost you 70k lives and you are still trying to negotiate with TTP who are most definitely a branch of IEA. Are the Taliban asking for proof from you for that too?
They are dishonorable and habitual liars that went against their cold war allies in the most obnoxious way and got pumped for it.
Did they spare Pakistani children when APS happened or when they were training our kids to become suicide bombers?
