Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani has taken refuge in the United Arab Emirates, the Gulf nation says.

Mr Ghani left Afghanistan as the Taliban advanced on the capital city Kabul over the weekend.

The UAE's foreign ministry said the country had welcomed Mr Ghani and his family on humanitarian grounds.

In a video address later on Wednesday, Mr Ghani denied fleeing and said he had left to prevent what he described as a "huge disaster".

"For now, I am in the Emirates so that bloodshed and chaos is stopped," he said. "I am currently in talks to return to Afghanistan."

He wants to return.

[madprof98]

No, I don’t think that’s what he wants . . . unless he left another hundred million hidden under a rock back there.

[Jane Long]

How much US Taxpayer $$$$$$ did he abscond with? His family?

Don’t forget 10% for the Big Guy.

[Lurkinanloomin]

He left with suitcases of cash to avoid being poor in exile.

That’s AMAZING! I thought FOR SURE he’d be camping out in Pedo Joe’s basement until this thing all blew over.

*SNORT*

We’re so screwed. So, SO screwed!

[dfwgator]

I wouldn’t mind if the Taliban got to him.

Evidently Mr Ghani and Mr Biden are engaging in some sort of contest to see who’s the bigger liar.

And just think…he’s light-years more competent and upright than ANYONE in our government or military leadership.

"For now, I am in the Emirates so that bloodshed and chaos is stopped," he said. "I am currently in talks to return to Afghanistan."

[caww]

Nah...he’s just another hand someone else is moving across the board in this ongoing stage performance.

Don’t forget 10% for the Big Guy.

I won't.

Biden: "Dr.Jill, if I get any richer I'll be able to pay off the damn federal debt myself. I mean, if I wanted to."

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Well, you’re right about that.

[gcparent]

Left with4 cars and helicopter with money.

[caww]

Exactly.....this take over happened too fast and without resistance.....in fact it really does look like it was simply ‘given over’ to the Taliban.

[Blue Highway]

No one has mentioned yet this whole Afghanistan clusterf*ck could be a perfect distractionfor piles of money to move from FED GOV to Afghanistan/Taliban and then some of that get kicked back to “The Big Guy” or whoever is on the take.

Does he land in a penthouse in Dubai, or a manor in the hills? This modest 39,000 sqft villa can be had for only 100 million dirham, or about $27 million. I suspect he can swing it.

[rllngrk33]

So how much of the $160 million did he have to pay the UAE to let him in?

The only blood shed he was worried about was his own when the Taliban cut his head off.

His negotiations to return really means how much more does he have to pay to stay in the UAE.

[dfwgator]

And he doesn’t even have the common courtesy to write me a thank you note.

[Jamestown1630]

I’ll bet $169M that he does...
