    I don’t think that the official story was that they would turn it over to the Taliban.

    I think that it was that they would leave the local government to maintain their own security (knowing full well that they wouldn’t be able to).

      Yeah, the Afghani government, or I should say “government” folded up so fast it’s hard to remember the timeline. It may be we made the promise to the non-Taliban government which had the half-life of francium. (Yes, I looked that up.)
