Lessee... 7 Taliban killed and 1 Afghan guard killed... at this rate the Taliban are going to lose.

Unfortunately, I think the minute the US pulls out, the Taliban will be right back in charge.

Not that surprising. Modern US embassies and consulates are built like fortresses.
People tend to forget the thousands of 'non-combat' troops that can still run missions and shoot back and do basically everything a combat troop can, that will still be there until the Afghan government asks them to leave. Not to mention the air strike capabilities and drones. Considering the Afghan government likes living a lot more than they dislike the US, I'd say those troops are going to be there for a while.
