Right now, it’s the same as it was for Iraq. Just visualize a US pullout, then a pull back in because the Taliban morphs into a sort of super-Taliban like how “al-Qa’eda in Iraq” decided to call themselves ISIS ISIL IS DAESH and up their aggression by several degrees.

Oh yeah, and a big part of the end game is to continue to have the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism as an ally against what they are sponsoring. In the case of Yemen, Obama actually sought the help of the Houthis against al-Qa’eda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). And as a result, Iran just took over Yemen. Makes a lot of sense, right?
