THREAD. US officials have stressed mil withdrawal commitment in US-#TalibanPeaceDeal is conditions-based. @EsperDoD states a condition that isn't actually in the text of the agreement. (Conditionality language in the text appears related only to Taliban CT assurances.) 1/4
The additional condition is stated in this opinion piece in @washingtonpost 
and the condition is . . . 2/4https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/02/29/defense-secretary-mark-esper-this-is-our-chance-bring-troops-home-afghanistan-good/ …
"If progress on the political front between the Taliban and the current Afghan government continues, then the United States and its partners will further reduce our presence toward a goal of zero in 2021. If progress stalls, then our drawdown likely will be suspended, as well."
That's a useful statement, but would also be useful to know whether this condition is understood by the Taliban, given that it isn't in the agreement. Also will be important to prevent those on other side who may not want US to withdraw from purposefully stalling progress. 4/4
