#1 Why? they're just a para-military extension of the Pak military. Professional courtesy.

#2 Difficult to gain a victory in a conflict when a cross-border sanctuary harbors enemy combatants with impunity.

In a counter to the ISI version ... there also exists a Taliban that is a para-professional extension of the Afghan military that returns the favor to Pakistan.

#4 I have personally watched overhead footage of the TB walking the trails to and from Paki Frontier Corps Durand Line checkpoints and lodgements. Paki complicity, not exactly the world's best kept secret.

The US and the Paki's have a common friend, the Communist Chinese. So we take no action against the Paks.

#5 Afghan Taliban will sooner or later be independent of ISI control. Pakistan not only feeds the beast, it keeps it chained too; as many believe the shura or elder council and their families are actually hostages as well as guests in Quetta. That's because as long as there's a conflict, they have nowhere else to hide and the ⭔ won't transgress against beloved Islamabad. So the ISI wants there to remain a threat to taliban in Afghanistan. Also, without a visible threat of gunnies and turbans there remains no excuse to beg for aid, without which the jihad will be dependent on OIC largesse only.

#6 While we know the ISI owns many on the shura council, and some Durranis in the government, the dynamic between Pak-Punjabis [most of the ISI bureaucracy] and pashtuns is marred by a linguistic-classist divide, distrust and disrespect. To them a pashtun is like a dog, best leashed and fed only a minimum.

#7 Taliban just wants Americans gone so they don't have to rely on ISI hospitality and can begin to consolidate political control, but ISI plants in the western think tanks and the fools at the ⭔ can't let that happen 'lest those horrible attacks be launched on America from Afghanistan'.
