Five Taliban-linked websites in five languages that the terrorist group used to spread official messages suddenly and mysteriously went dark Friday – days after the group took power in the country.
It wasn’t clear why the websites went down. The Pashto, Urdu, Arabic, English and Dari sites were previously protected by San Francisco-based Cloudflare, which shields the site host from being revealed to the public. Cloudflare has not commented...

I think they want to spare our embassy until at least 9/11. On that day they will humiliate the United States by raising the Taliban flag over the embassy. Complete victory for them. In the meantime, Pedo Joe has a solid base of support here of at least 42 percent. Another 20 percent have no clue, so Joe and the Marxists are still doing okay.
