Pompeo: The Taliban Certainly Know Where the ISIS Folks Are

‘It is not the case they’re true partners but they share the theme that they want to kill Americans and undermine us’

EXCERPT:

POMPEO: "Of course we should. Whether the Taliban has perfect information, I doubt it. But they certainly know where the ISIS folks are. There have been times there was conflict, the Taliban attacked ISIS while we were there, they went after them from time to time for sure. So, it's not the case they’re true partners in the sense that they share perfect commonality, but they do share this theme which is that they want to undermine us, they want to kill Americans. And so, I can’t tell you precisely what happened yesterday, I can't tell you precisely who did it, but America’s interests are making sure that any radical Islamist is pushed back and that we secure our resources. You know, Bill, we have just over 100 hours before we will have to extract 5,000 Americans from this. This is a very dangerous time, this is a sobering day and I hope that we will show the resolve and strength necessary to protect our American interests in the way that President Trump and I did for four years."
