it partnership, certainly cooperation about security. messages were exchanged about isis-k threats. i can remember two years ago being in kabul with then commander scottie miller, u.s. general who talked then about his hopes that there would be at least a de facto alliance between the taliban and the united states going forward, going after isis-k. talked about a number of provinces where it was in effect cooperation. we would bomb, they would go in after. will that happen going forward, the idea we would share intelligence with them through some channel that would help them take action, that s something you can imagine. what we ve seen in these initial days is that our ability to do so-called over the horizon counterterrorism strikes is stronger than you might have thought, the ability to act against planners in the far east
