"No new government until last US soldier leaves Afghanistan: Taliban sources"
Simple. If there are American deaths or a fire fight large enough and/or with enough casualties, the Taliban will claim it is not yet the government and so not yet in charge. They will blame the USU for not being in charge and they will blame ISIS or bandits for their firefight. It is a double or triple whammy against the US
1) Bleed and embarrass the US
2) Blame other groups
3) Blame the US for a lack of government
Blaming the US for a lack of government or blaming other groups will work in the US if the press allows it. The MSM has to instinctively circle the wagons not around America, but around the chosen Democrat leaders. IOR they need to get a memo.
1,2 3, will play in the Muslim street.
There already has been 1 firefight ... against a sniper. They say it was a Taliban sniper. If true was he going solo? If he was not soling it, it shows the Taliban want their cake and to eat it too.
