'Surprise!' NBC News reports that freed Taliban leader vows to 'fight Americans again'

Gee, who could’ve predicted this?

If anyone needs us, we’ll be looking for our shocked faces:

“After arriving in Qatar, Noorullah Noori kept insisting he would go to Afghanistan and fight American forces there,” a Taliban commander told NBC News via telephone from Afghanistan.

Noori pushed to return to Afghanistan after learning that the U.S. had provided written assurances that no country would arrest any of the five freed for a year as long as they lived peacefully, one of his relatives told NBC News by telephone from Afghanistan.

That escalated quickly. https://t.co/qKrfR94YcF

Oh, for sure. And hey, there are rules in place:

@NBCNews

And I am sure he will keep his promise
Yeah right
