#6 Moving the Talib back to Helmand does give the ISI a fig leaf when the Taliban inevitably commits one atrocity or another, as well as ensuring the heroin money continues to flow and fund things in the region, as directed by the ISI in large part.

It also takes most, if not all, of the dronezaps out of Pakistan, which have been putting a lot of pressure on the Pak government from their own people.

Still, good point about something being up. It can be seen as suspicious.
