wait, back up a minute - released by Zero 2015 in exchange for traitor Bergdahl or however his name is spelled (fox news just now - must be psychic timing lol)
darn it, I hit return too fast. berg exchange but who was the other one? Baradar ? Khalilzad traces back to Zero, but he’s been around since Reagan, and still working under Biden:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zalmay_Khalilzad
“Responding to a question about Pakistan’s role in facilitating the US-Taliban talks, he said that Islamabad had played a constructive role and released Mullah Baradar “at my request”.
Khalilzad said that he requested Baradar’s release because he believed the senior Taliban leader could also play a constructive role in the Afghan peace initiative”

They are only doing this until the last Americans have left.
Then they will execute their enemies in a bloodbath.
MSNBC Contributor Tells Propaganda Network We Must Have Watched a Different Speech
August 16, 2021 | Sundance | 296 Comments
Former Central Intelligence Agency analyst Matt Zeller appears on MSNBC as Brian Williams was singing the praises of Dear Leader Joe Biden for his magnificent words and exceptional work on Afghanistan. Unfortunately for MSNBC, Mr. Zeller stunned the Baghdad Bob network by saying: “I was appalled” by President Joe Biden’s Afghanistan speech, it was a lie.” WATCH:
“Taliban announces ‘amnesty,’ urges women to join government”
Let’s give them credit for a BRILLIANT MOVE. Now, besides having the Europeans and US government salivating over them (the Taliban) for being so open-minded, they will also smoke out the Feminists there, and have their list ready so they can dispose of these women when it makes sense.
“Women have the advantage.”
Except they’re female and don’t have automatic weapons...
As far as women in government....You think Cuomo and Bubba are bad.
those you get when you cut the throats of the rapists
these women are about to be returned to chattel slavery after being free-er for 10 or so years anyway. Go back to that? The taliban should be afraid to eat or drink anything in Kabul and very afraid of sleeping.
I you think women will retake Kabul, you’re nuts.
If I heard correctly, in this video, Matt Zeller also says… I voted for Biden. Zeller had far more information about Afghanistan and the Afghans who assisted us there than the ordinary American voter. What did he expect from Biden?
Yes, this is a trap. This is how you get all the “uppity” ones to ID themselves. Kinda like announcing a mandatory gun buyback. The stupid ones form a queue.
Any joining in this are uppity and foolish. Perfect wives for guys formerly having access to only goats.
So, Afghan women will be allowed to walk around half dressed, transgender their custodial boys, divorce their husbands at will, cuss at them, and turn them into child support slaves as they can in the western world? The Taliban aren’t that stupid.
Look, they all now have cell phones with internet access. They know there is a better world they aren’t experiencing.
I could be wrong, but time will tell. They rightfully don’t want foreigners directing their country. Karzai was hand picked by the USA, and Ghani, who I’ve personally met, was so westernized and non-relational he was an AINO (Afghan in name only). I do have contacts on the ground in Afghanistan and lived there as a civilian for half a decade shortly after 9/11.
Karzai and Ghani were criminals. Supporting criminals is a good way to lose a war.
Note, this is the AP and that sentence was intended for gullible Americans.
Upcoming meme on CNN - “this is the new, enlightened Taliban! Praise to President Biden for allowing them to take charge!”
Ghani, I don’t think so. His lack of social skills and leadership skills doomed his vision to failure and enabled other criminals. He had background and experience in international development, which is mostly top-down programs. He really had a heart for Afghanistan, but was so limited in what he could do. In one sense he was like Trump: He had a good life as a World Bank leader, but wanted to help his country.
The whole way international development funds are used generates waste. International staff are highly paid, audit and control doesn’t work, and results are lacking. I went to Afghanistan as a volunteer advisor to a cabinet minister for a few months. I then went through a series of more lucrative short-term contracts.
I eventually became even more highly paid as I led a UN project with about a hundred staff. I thought the 10 internationals were the key to success but quickly found out they were problems. I trained the Afghans, and did not renew the expat contracts, eventually becoming the only non-Afghan. Since internationals were paid about 10x the Afghans I hired more Afghans do the project, having the second highest Afghan-to-International ratio in the nation.
My focus was always capacity development of all the Afghans working for me. I tell you, NO ONE takes that approach. I finally left after experiencing a terrorist attack. As an outsider, I’ve got insights for much better ways to do international development, but like Ghani I’m lacking in social skills, leadership, and persuasion. LOL.
I posted this yesterday. Not sure how that amnesty is working out.

They are a lying pack of blood thirsty wolves. As soon as they get all of us out of the country the raping and killing will begin with great abandonment.
Iran International: Abdolhamid said, “I assure the world that today’s Taliban are not the Taliban fo [sic] 20 years ago. They have gained experience and their views have undergone changes. If there would be any shortcomings, these could be fixed.”
I’m thinking in a few weeks or less it will be seen that the US Embassy evacuation to the airport was unnecessary, fear-based, and will reveal a dramatic lack of intelligence (as in from spy agencies, as well as in staff) and understanding. Of course the whole China bioweapon is fear-based. We have no government “leaders.” They are all wusses.
The Tollybon knows the west’s golden calves. Homos, trannies, and a woman will be front and center. The media will celebrate and Biden hailed as a hero of human rights and his victory for lgbtqwtf rights in the Emirate of Afghanistan.
