Our government is doing the same.

Professor Blinken is really mad you guys and might have to refer The Taliban to the Campus Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council.

“It certainly does not meet the test of inclusivity and it includes people who have very challenging track records.”@SecBlinken in new taliban interim government

"Terrorist" has such a negative connotation.

We prefer "Global influencer who uses extra-legal methodologies."

No joke some teacher I saw on TV yesterday was arguing not to call the 9/11 perps terrorists because the connotation. Unbelievable.

The Taliban prefer to use Max Weber's terminology of possessing the "Monopoly on Violence".

How does that differ from the Venezuelan, Cuban, Chinese, et al governments? Hell, how does that match up with the leadership of the DNC?

These stories are excruciatingly cringe, mostly because the clear subtext is that the Biden admin actually believed there was a possibility Taliban 2.0 would make good on their promises. The level of self-delusion must have shocked even the Taliban. https://t.co/2MQ0bPPTte

Bump

Not only did Blinken block evac flights, he dissolved the Crisis Response center at State months before the withdrawal

He can’t escape that

Reminiscent of Sadams free elections where he got 96% of the vote.

New York Times investigation “raises doubts about the U.S. version of events, including whether explosives were present in the vehicle, whether the driver had a connection to ISIS, and whether there was a second explosion after the missile struck the car.” https://t.co/HbLjR7Z07p

Oops, turns out we really did drone strike a US ally and his family because we thought water bottles were explosives.

An entire family with several dead children…two of them were two years old each I think.

Biden the baby killin POS.

The cia got played by either the double agents working for taliban or China. This was a middle finger to any attempt to consider future retaliatory strikes. For what they know will eventually come. Not even our best sources and interest ability today could meet the intended target. What chance do we have in 2+ years?

I fear the retribution is well underway and known only at our highest levels. Coffer Black famously asked his team for osamas head on a pike, i am expecting the same from the taliban as well.

Ahem... Straight to the Taliban.

Yes. Its the Iranian mullahs enablement all over again. From the former VP of the POTUS that did that.

Giving money to terrorists and pretending everything is A-ok.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a ransom to get more folks out.

What a colossal CF of an administration.

Blinken is on fnc now In this hearing fyi

So what are we to make of permanent US residents who remain in Afghanistan? All voluntary?

" During the hearing, Blinken also said that, as of the end of last week, roughly 100 American citizens remain stranded in Afghanistan.

Additionally, the secretary of state said that "several thousands" U.S. permanent residents also remain in Afghanistan"

Another clue it is a pack of lies is the need to keep blaming Trump. There is something they are having to run away from -- you would not have to run away from a `success' or victory.

The Taliban thanks America for $64million as part of $1.2BILLION international aid package but says the US should 'have a heart' as it pleads for more

• Acting foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi said money would be spent wisely
• He asked the US to show appreciation to the Taliban for the troop withdrawal

The Taliban has thanked the world for pledging more than a billion dollars in emergency aid to Afghanistan, and urged the US to show 'heart' by donating more.

Amir Khan Muttaqi, the regime's acting foreign minister, told a press conference the hardline Islamist group would spend donor money wisely and use it to alleviate poverty....

He was speaking a day after the United Nations said a total of $1.2billion in aid had been pledged to Afghanistan, $64million of which came from the US.
