the timing is just that they were they want to show the taliban wants to show the americans and. to the war that they're still in control of afghanistan at least half of afghanistan you know recently in the. yesterday or 2 days ago they published an article about the war in afghanistan and they had messages from former secretaries of state ambassador and generals american generals and they were saying the didn't know afghanistan at all they didn't know the geopolitics of afghanistan and they didn't know what to do with afghanistan and with the taliban's dollar arms for the former secretary of state of under george w. bush was saying that he doesn't have any visibility of who he's enemies war he doesn't he didn't know how to treat with pakistan is pakistan. so that's that's why it's very complex to handle afghanistan and the americans they don't they don't know how to. handle the taliban in afghanistan and in other general was saying that the united states had poor in $143000000000.00 us dollars into afghanistan in order to rebuild afghanistan but they still haven't done much and

some believe that you know taliban and qatar and taliban in pakistan in taliban in afghanistan are not in sync when it comes to the peace talks negotiations in a cease fire particularly so some of the elements within taliban could be responsible because you know groups like they do not have the capabilities to carry an attack at this scale a big group. is pressured cornered in afghanistan so the only group that could have the capability to carry a suicide attack. so far in the fact that they're silent tells us that there could be divisions that the mainstream taliban or elements within taliban don't. do not agree with the. ok well at this point no group has claimed responsibility for that attack but we will be bringing our viewers the latest on that but for now heck martyr as army research analyst at the center for conflict and peace studies thank you for bringing us that update. well against this backdrop a scathing report is being released which details years of deliberate dissent from ation on the part of top u.s. officials who are transpires have been putting on a brave face despit
