Pakistani *AND* Afghan Taliban (maybe al Qaeda too

That's been alleged, but I don't see any good way to evaluate the allegation.

"...Well letting that happen doesn't seem all that unreasonable."

To you maybe.

So you think that it was unreasonable to let Pakistani advisors from a government that had pleged to no longer support the Taliban leave.

Remember what I said was not unreasonable was the arlifting of Pakistani advisors, not the alleged movement of Taliban and Al Qaeda leaders.

"Pakistan agreed to stop supporting the Taliban,"

THAT'S A GOOD ONE!

Its also true. Remember agreeing to something isn't the same thing as following through with the agreement.

They have a *signed ceasefire* with the Taliban

They have a signed ceasefire with the tribal leaders in the border area, a number of whom have ties with the Taliban, but its not exactly the same thing.

And they have this ceasefire because they tried to control the area with military force and failed.
