I’m calling BS on this.

They would not have offered anything. They have no reason to.

If this is proven to be true, Biden’s head belongs on a pike.
(Even more than already)

To be fair..they could have had an outrageous list of demands that had to be met...but it is interesting that WAPO is running with this..unless, of course, WAPO is being the CIA mouthpiece and CIA is had decided enough is enough

Has talibon Joe offered a lucrative ambassadorship position to hunter yet?

Will hunter be appointed head imam at the local art museum in kabul?

Kabul is a city of 4 million. You can’t just drop in the 82nd airborne and “control” something like that.

Credit where credit is due: Biden has done what I thought impossible: he has united the country!

I am shocked the Washington Post reported this. An epic historic blunder.

They would only offer Braindead 10% of the heroin yield as a kickback for the foreign aid they’ll get after we’re gone.

Well the Tali’s were short of cash. There was no other way to give 10% for the big guy.

Let’s not just discount this out of hand as BS.

Suppose it is true - why would Biden do such a thing?

Oops darn autocorrect, that should be Xiden...

China benefits from every move Xiden has made in Afghanistan.

What’s interesting about this is that (true or not) it shows that people like Mark Milley are leaking to throw Biden under the bus and save themselves. These stories aren’t coming from nowhere, someone (single unverified source, of course, because this is modern garbage journalism) is leaking them out to make Biden look bad and the Generals look good. Jackasses like Mark Milley called Trump Hitler (out lout in public to subordinates!) and wanted him gone so I have ZERO sympathy for him lying about how he had a flawless plan but Biden messed it up. Lying sack of excrement. He owns this lost war every bit as much as Biden and may everyone remind him of it ever day of the rest of his pathetic and miserable life.

This article says more about the biases and delusions of the Washington Post than it does about the failures of the Biden regime.

The real causes of the Afghan debacle are:

1. The decision to suddenly withdraw all military and support personnel.
2. The failure to warn or coordinate the withdrawal with the Afghan Army, other friendly countries and with American and foreign civilians still inside the country.
3. Abandoning the ultra-secure Bagram Air Base in favor of using the Kabul Airport.

Declining their offer is in lock-step with Alinsky’s principles, guaranteeing a maximum of panic and confusion.

True or not, this is like every other opportunity the Joek had and declined because he did not want to put in the troops necessary to hold anything other than the few in place, barely enough to hold the airport - a political decision, not a military one - although he found generals there who willingly went along with his Plan to destroy the USA.

Biden really does hate America, doesn’t he?

It is looking more and more as if the Afghanistan debacle was intentionally designed to discredit Joe Biden, by the puppet masters controlling him, to justify and trigger his removal from the Presidency.
