Again, something people miss is the Taliban was our group of bastard Islamists that reject outsiders to begin with.* Working with them is the norm, the war with them was not. We successfully changed their tune about anti-American terrorism. That's the one accomplishment of this war.
Israel creates a lot of ant-American sentiment. So do drone strikes. But they know there is a way to get on the other side of those drone strikes now. They also care more about their own country than Palestin. The are rife to be bought off. We will save money by paying them and not the DC contractors as much.
*not literally as pointed out below. But its the same damn kinds of guys all over the world. My point is, we always work with a Taliban-like entity in these countries.
