ISIS and the Taliban are literally shooting at each other. I don’t think that there is much danger of the Taliban providing them with “safe havens”.

For as much fist shaking towards what the dingdong extremists think is Christendom, they spend most of their time fighting and oppressing Muslims of differing schools.

Burns supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq.[5] Prior to his final assignment, Burns was the United States Permanent Representative to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. As Ambassador to NATO, he headed the combined State-Defense Department U.S. Mission to NATO at a time when the Alliance committed to new missions in Iraq, Afghanistan and the global war against terrorism, and accepted seven new members.

On January 18, 2008, Burns announced his retirement from the Foreign Service effective March 2008. The reason cited was to go back to family concerns and to pursue other opportunities outside of government.[6][7] A White House press statement stated that Burns would continue to serve in an advisory capacity as the United States Special Envoy in finalizing the United States-India Peaceful Atomic Energy Cooperation Act.

After leaving government service Burns started working for the Cohen Group, a consultancy and lobbying organization for arms manufacturers.[8]
