interesting that the white house thanks the emir of qatar for his role and for his personal support inegotiations somehow. that all fell through. but we can begin to see, we won't know and don't know details at the moment, we can begin to see some of the parameters of what may have begun to shape this. significant for the taliban as well, while they wanted a prisoner exchange, one of the things they wanted for the united states is a clear declaration for the united states that it will get out of afghanistan. this is what they've said in the past. the fact that president obama said just a week ago that troops by the end of 2016 will be drawn down to just staff at the embassy, perhaps for the taliban was also a significant point in these discussions. >> you think that it was the timing of the president's announcement, never mind his trip last weekend to afghanistan, a surprise trip, but the timing of his announcement with regard to the u.s. presence there, knowing sort of the mentality of the taliban as you do, spending so much time over there, you think that was a factor here, a big fac
