Afghan Meltdown: Afghanistan's President Flees as the Taliban Swiftly Moves Into Kabul
PJ Media ^ | 15 Aug 2021 | Bryan Preston

Just five days ago, Joe Biden told the media “I do not regret my decision” to summarily withdraw U.S. forces from Afghanistan with no plan in place to stabilize the country’s government.

That government is collapsing. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has reportedly fled the country as the Taliban moves into Kabul and awaits a “transfer of power.”

Another word for “transfer” is “surrender.” The Taliban has the momentum and will wait — but likely not for long — before resuming its military campaign to destroy the Afghan government. One question now is whether the United States will be able to remove its own embassy personnel from Kabul. On Saturday, the Biden administration increased the military deployment to Afghanistan to 5,000 for that evacuation. The American force will find itself surrounded by enemies, both Taliban and those Afghan forces who now are likely either melting away or actively switching sides.

Asked about Afghanistan’s meltdown last week, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said “The Taliban also has to make an assessment about what they want their role to be in the international community.”

The Taliban made that assessment when it succored al Qaeda as it planned the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. Its ideology is 1400 years old and has not changed in the 20 years of warfare in Afghanistan.

More: Fox reports the first Biden administration reaction to the news that Afghanistan’s president has fled.

“That’s it. It’s over,” a U.S. official said.

The official is wrong. The fall of Kabul is just the beginning of the horrific fallout from Biden’s decisions.

The Taliban won’t hurt any Americans because they are such nice guys.

Hahahahahahahahaha!

Biden paid the ransom.

Just like Obama paid the ransom at Benghazi.

And the Democrat Party Crime Syndicate will get their cut of the ransom for being good little boys and not bombing the Taliban.

There was hope when Ashraf stepped on the stage back when. A month later, not so much.
