The USA wants the things as they are.The status quo. A bleeding, suffering Afghanistan is a good excuse to prolong its stay. Now they are even embracing the Taliban. Recently, in Musa Qila, a Taliban commander Mulla Salam was appointed as governor by Karzai. The USA has no problem with the Taliban so long as it’s ‘our Taliban’.
I've been busy.

Hmm, wasn't Osama bin Laden one of "our" Taliban during the Soviet occupation of the early '80's?
I wonder how well that worked out...
The USA has no problems with the Saudi-backed Wahhabist fanaticism that was taught with US tax dollars in Pakistan, why should they necessarily not like the Taliban, 'eh?
