WASHINGTON — The U.S. military is coordinating with the Taliban while accelerating the airlift of Americans and Afghan allies from the Kabul airport, and also bringing in additional U.S. troops in a scramble to complete the evacuation in two weeks, Pentagon officials said Tuesday.
The disclosure by Pentagon spokesman John Kirby that U.S. commanders are speaking with Taliban commanders is an indication that the new rulers of Afghanistan, who swept to power after 20 years of war against the U.S.-supported Kabul government, will not interfere with the evacuation. Kirby would not discuss details of the Taliban arrangement.
“There are interactions multiple times a day” between U.S. and Taliban commanders, he said.

Taliban and US coordinating... WTF?!
Stolen elections
The Taliban is saying the same thing on twitter
They post about 20 times a day. You need to use a translate program. But it’s a good way to follow the enemy.
“Kirby would not discuss details of the Taliban arrangement.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
some planes have left wi less than a dozen people
“There are interactions multiple times a day” between U.S. and Taliban commanders...
ROFLMFWAO!!
“Interactions” eh? Like, where the U.S. talks, and the Taliban chuckle the whole time, ‘cuz they know ol’ Joe’s stuck, and can’t back up?
This is what Woke reduces you to.
And this 3.5 weeks before the 20th anniversary of 9-11.
This is sickening.
So will we get to hear how much this is costing us versus say...having Kept Bagram open
I think that they are going to trade the 50,000 Afghans that worked for the West for the western nationals
The Taliban could shell the runway or shoot down a plane or Suicide attack it and make this even worse
So a deal has been struck IMO
Taliban should allow the evacuation - they can send every criminal, psychotic, spy, or regime opponent to the airport for transport to the USA.
They’ll probably even send some relatives for all the free welfare benefits
I just heard that their goal is to evacuate to 200,000....
A little Bakhshish goes a long way.
Madness!!!
When Pompeo negotiated with the Tolly-bon the lefties went out of their minds.
What? I just read a headline stating that this administration is freezing funds to the Taliban....and how is it they are cooperating with the US as a result? Something doesn’t add up, at least to me.
The problem with deals (whether in politics or business) is the longer they take to implement, the greater the chance for them to fall apart along the way...
This sounds more like extortion—pay the Taliban every day or the deal is off...and the amount increases every day...
This is negotiating tactics.
Basically we have a hostage situation—and we are paying ransom to free the hostages—and the hostage holders are probably continually escalating their demands...
They are flying over 40,000 Muslim Plants such as Isis and Taliban invaders
and calling them American evacuation .
Lies
There are only 2,000 Real Americans over there .
The Gen White Hater Austin and Gen CRT Milley refuse to
identify these invaders and sending out LIES . We are getting invaded thanks to the radicalized Obama Military .
