It doesn’t get more idiotic: “The Taliban also has to make an assessment about what they want their role to be in the international community,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said with a straight face Wednesday.
Oh, and the State Department has sent diplomats to “press the Taliban to stop their military offensive and to negotiate a political settlement, which is the only path to stability and development in Afghanistan.” They’re also begging to have the US embassy in Kabul left alone, warning that future US aid is at risk — and so effectively promising that we’ll actually subsidize these barbarians.
Hello? The Taliban has never given a damn about world opinion or “stability and development.” It was a global pariah when it ruled Afghanistan in the ’90s, ignoring the handwringing as it crushed the country’s women, destroyed those 1,500-year-old Buddha statues and hosted the al Qaeda plotters of 9/11.
And it hasn’t changed a whit since, blowing off all diplomatic efforts these last 20 years to get it to abandon its drive to reconquer the country.

Does anyone know if any of Obama’s five Taliban trades are negotiating with Stupid Sleepy Stolen Joe?
Lemme see if I got this straight..
Our children were getting killed there for over 20 years...
We leave, and the people of this country won’t even fight to keep it free?
Why the hell were we there in the first place?
This rout is on Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani and all the way back to President Karzai.
We gave the Afghan government all of the tools and training they needed for the past TWENTY YEARS to be able to fend for themselves.
If they refuse to fight for their own country, then why should we?
The Taliban feared President Trump. Kashmir Patel recounts the US strategy hammering the Taliban from the air.
Now they are not fearful and literally ignore Joe Demented.
They are on the march taking major cities. The bloodbath is already underway.
The White House and their allies in the media will claim this was a beneficial and long term positive outcome for America. Just watch how they spin it. Dems are very good at that.
No kidding. You would think this were conservatives in America!
Biden gets sole credit for turning over literally enough military hardware to outfit an army. Stupid evil corrupt bastard.
The Taliban has opium narco-dollars funding them. If we were smart we’d re-task A-10’s to go after their cash crops. But we are soeaking about dems here.

“The Taliban also has to make an assessment about what they want their role to be in the international community,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said with a straight face Wednesday.”
Legitimizing a terrorist group. That truly IS idiotic.
SMH
We were there so the “Military-Industrial Complex” could make billions off of the blood of our sons and daughters.
Bush needs to take some blame too. We should have bombed them to Hell, napalmed their poppy fields and then blockaded them and anyone who supported them from entering our country or doing business with any country that did business with them.
Now - Americans died for nothing!
Sounds a little like Viet Nam actually
I’ll bet your dollars to donuts that we could organize and take our country back now. If this is the way this group in charge acts in the face of danger they’d fold in a New York minute.
The Taliban, unfortunately, will now show the likes of General Milley and his disgusting crew how to win a war, quickly, efficiently and brutilly.
Why the hell were we there in the first place?
Opium? Hashish? The International Community ensures Afghanistan gets readjusted periodically and I think it has to do with drugs and the money involved in those drugs.
Much as I detest the Biden Crime Family, this is a pant load. This is the fault of Bush and Obama and the Military-Industrial Complex. Any attempt at bringing civilization to this hellhole is doomed to fail. GTFO!
Mandate they wear mask and stay home?
First off, Demented Joe had nothing to do with this. At this point he couldn’t pick Afghanistan out on a map with it circled.
This rout is on W Bush’s shoulders. We should have never been there in the first place after the Bin Laden chase.
Trump dropped a MOAB on the Taliban. That sends a powerful message.
