Denying a briefing on intelligence that didn't exist about a program that didn't exist for a supposed partnership which would make absolutely no sense (Taliban would be very happy to kill any top level Russians who tried to make contact, much less undercut the gravy train that's coming from Washington by taking pitifully small contracts...)
