The White House confirmed that it is relying on the Taliban to help provide safe passage for civilians looking to evacuate Afghanistan as the State Department warns US civilians there to 'shelter in place' until it is safe to leave.
On Tuesday, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters that the Biden administration was in contact with the Taliban, who committed to ensuring US citizens exit the country safely.
'The Taliban have informed us that they are prepared to provide the safe passage of civilians to the airport, and we intend to hold them to that commitment,' Sullivan said.
The deal comes just six weeks after president Biden stated 'No, I do not trust the Taliban.'
Sullivan addressed reports of Taliban fighters beating Afghans attempting to enter the airport in Kabul.
He said for the most part the Taliban is keeping up their end of the deal.

The Democrats have been working with the Taliban since at least the Obama years so at least they have a good working relationship.
WTF are 40k Americans doing in Afghanistan?
Bad headline. It should read:
Biden is relying on the Taliban to help EVAPORATE up to 40K Americans trapped in Afghanistan:
“and we intend to hold them to that commitment,”
Seriously worded letters being drawn up as we speak.
Hey, it’s okay!!
It’s just like when FDR got help from the NAZIs when he asked them to help evacuate Jews from Germany back in WWII…
“WTF are 40k Americans doing in Afghanistan?“
Making $$$ off of this “war”. That’s what every U.S. “intervention” is about nowadays.
They still believe whatever the Taliban tell them. Amazing.

Probably feeding from the trough of U.S. money in some way or another.
RANSOM will be billions.

My thought as well. Follow the money, especially when there are profitable wars and conflicts.
Shelter in place. It would work in a rain storm. Shelter in place is the Democrat solution to all upheavals. If you are sheltering in place they don’t have to deal with you. When the Taliban comes knocking I guess you can tell them you are sheltering in place.
For the most part. Translation: We're keeping the girls?
How pathetic is this? Relying on the wolves to herd the lambs to safety.
Democrats in America are quickly morphing into “targets of opportunity”, just like they are NOW in Kabul.They are hiding except when re-imagining in PUBLIC.
I have no complaints. Thats the thing about Democrats. Give them enough rope and they will hang each other, and those who are not hung will be betrayed by their own, tied up and sodomized in public.
I laugh and spit on their Democrat shadows, farting copiously in their general direction.
And I mourn for America.
Why has Biden disappeared? He has discovered that his re-imagined world bears little resemblance to the world we really do live in. And Joe has to be isolated so he can re-imagine something where he can face his audience of re-imaginers!
Idiots!
President Trump: “ Miss me yet?”
Mitch McConnell bears a large portion of the responsibility for the election of Joe Biden. And Mitch needs to pay big time.
Hecklers Unite! Go after Joe and his Obamoid White House Staff.
Alah Wahoo Fubar!
The media is giving us the angle that the Taliban is Humane and caring as the new occupants of the Afghan govt. Let’s see how this unfolds...WWIII?

Stupid stuff like painting murals and trying to socially engineer a leftist utopia.
