According to a senior diplomat in the region and another source familiar with the matter, the CIA Chief William Burns secretly met with Taliban leader Abdul Ghani Baradar.The meeting was first reported by The Washington Post. The news comes as US President Joe Biden is expected to decide whether to extend the Aug. 31 deadline for U.S. troops to withdraw from the country amid growing pressure from key allies.
That expected decision comes as thousands desperately await evacuation in the wake of the militant group’s rapid takeover of the country.
The Taliban have warned any delay in the withdrawal would cross a “red line” and threatened consequences.
In a press conference Tuesday, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid accused the U.S. of instigating Afghans to leave the country, particularly skilled people, and said they would prevent Afghans from heading to the airport in Kabul but allow foreigners to go.
The U.S. will now have to contend with Baradar and other senior Taliban leaders, who are in the process of choosing a new government Baradar is expected to lead, a commander with the militant group told NBC News.
Baradar was arrested more than a decade ago in a joint U.S.-Pakistani operation and held for eight years in Pakistan.
He was released from prison in 2018 and served as the Taliban’s chief negotiator in peace talks in Qatar that produced an agreement with former President Donald Trump’s administration to withdraw U.S. military personnel by May 1 of this year.
He then moved that forward to Aug. 31 but is now facing pressure from international allies to delay in order to allow more evacuations to take place.
Cables of the Afghan war leaked by WikiLeaks have exposed intimate cooperation of the CIA with Osama Bin Laden as well.
Complex underground fortresses were built in the 1980’s with Osama bin Laden and CIA cooperation.
Tora Bora was known to be a stronghold location of the Taliban, used by military forces against the Soviet Union during the 1980s.
Not too secret if it's on FR.
So incredibly weak.
Only in Biden’s America does the Chief Super Spy become a “dipolmat?”!
Folks we have entered into the Bizarro Universe.
Wonder if the idiot brought a pair of well cushioned knee-pads to help facilitate the appeasing groveling and begging...../s
Only 4 thousand of the nearly 60 thousand evacuated are Americans.
10 thousand or more Americans have not left. Does it sound like they are now stranded....or are hostages??
The corporate media better stop shilling for Biden in this theatrical mess.
Has the US released the billions in Afghan money it froze???
Has the Taliban sued for peace??? Will Biden sign a document saying America lost the war in Afghanistan/?
The kitchen is about to get very hot...
I wonder what the split is on who gets the most heroine,cia or terrorits?Bet the CIA wins....
Seems the Intel community which all voted for him now has the long knives out for Sleepy Joe…something about Chuck Schumer saying they have 6 ways to get you…think I heard that in the past about some guy
I believe that China has 70 CCP members on PFizer's Investment board because Pfizer is just a face for China.
I believe Sleepy Joe missed his contract requirement to deliver 70% of the US population vaccinated To CHina/PFizer and so the military base voted most likely to be given to Pfizer is...Bahgram, Afghanistan, along with all the weapons and equipement we left for them, and sadly, many hostages.
With Afghanistan now under their control, China has no obstruction in the Middle East and their 'Silk Road' initiative to overtake and crush economic competion leaps forward. It's all so bizarre but what I mention all has evidence.
Afghanistan = Biden's payment due (to China) for Covid 'vaccines'.
BACKGROUND LINK FIRST:
Some stunning information about the Covid Vaccine FRAUD and China.
I encourage all to skim to the transcript here, and the table of CCP at the bottom of the thread

NEXT: How this may tie into Afghanistan:

Could explain Biden's desparation to get 70% by July etc. He missed his deadline?
Could explain why PFizer abruptly licensed by FDA.
Could explain alot - deal made by Biden in June 2020 per rumor?
Leaving all those weapons behind - more 'payment' for China's Pfizer contract with Biden?
So now the democrat taliban party is meeting with their real leadership.
I’m surprised the dope could find Afghanistan on a map. The idiot CIA inserted an operative into our unit, and the moron couldn’t find his fat ass with a bank of Klieg lights and the legendary Henry Morton Stanley leading the search party.
FUN FACT:
William Burns was Deputy Secretary of State under Hillary.
2011-2014
I think he once was the Ambassador to Russia also.
