Well that didn't last long

The top U.S. general overseeing the Middle East said Tuesday that Taliban attacks against Afghan forces are “not consistent” with the deal the insurgents signed with the United States just over a week ago.

“They are continuing attacks. Those attacks are relatively low in scale. They are not directed against coalition forces. They are not occurring in city centers. They are occurring at isolated checkpoints. But those attacks are occurring, and they are not consistent with a movement toward a negotiated settlement, and they are not consistent with the undertaking they made,” [U.S. Central Command chief Gen. Frank McKenzie said Tuesday.]

Under the deal, the U.S. military is drawing down to 8,600 troops over 135 days. U.S. Forces in Afghanistan announced Monday the drawdown has begun.

The deal also calls for a full U.S. withdrawal in 14 months if the Taliban lives up to its commitment to prevent Afghanistan from being used by al Qaeda and other terrorists to attack the West.

Despite the terms of the agreement, McKenzie said Tuesday “we have not developed military plans to that end yet.”

But if the U.S. military sees Afghan forces are incapable of standing on their own, McKenzie said it would “absolutely” be his advice not to withdraw.

Neither McKenzie nor Kathryn Wheelbarger, assistant secretary of Defense for international security affairs, who was also testifying, said they knew why 14 months was chosen for a full withdrawal. Both referred the question to the State Department.

Days after the deal was signed, the Taliban announced it would no longer abide by a reduction in violence that it followed in the week leading up to the signing. The Taliban’s attacks on Afghan military checkpoints led to the U.S. military to conduct an airstrike against the insurgents Wednesday.

The U.S.-Taliban deal was meant to precede talks between the Taliban and Afghan government to secure peace. Those talks were supposed to begin Tuesday, but Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has resisted a precondition to release up to 5,000 Taliban prisoners.
