The Taliban took control of the presidential palace in Kabul on Sunday — brazenly posing for pictures inside vacated Afghan government offices and meeting rooms.

The images show heavily armed fighters from the extremist Islamic group standing around one Taliban leader as he sits at the desk of departed President Ashraf Ghani, who fled the capital city, according to reports.

Another photo shows more than a dozen rebels sitting at a long conference table inside the Afghan government building, Al Jazeera reported.

The group announced from the palace that they will reestablish the Islamic emirate that was disbanded after US forces invaded in 2001.

I see many Afghanistan and Iraq vets at the VA when I go in. I can’t even imagine what they are feeling like

The stench in that palace must be horrific. It’s not like these people care a wit about person hygiene.

Obviously an insurrection. Now maybe send the FBI there to round them up?

I am sorry for the civilized Afghans. I hope they already got out or can get out since their national Army isn’t going to fight the Taliban.

Never understood why we went there to begin with and why we stayed for two decades. All the service members killed, maimed. All the trillions of $$$. What did we accomplish? What did we receive?

They’re already blaming Trump...Lizzie Cheney and Biden. She blamed Biden but also said Trump & Pompeo bear responsibility,too. They’re nowhere near the White House but yeah, it’s their fault Lizzie.

.o Just like during the days of the Obama regime, the governing committee has to have time to develop a consensus on what to do, how to respond. Whatta mess we have passing for a government.
