Biden Tried to Send Pallets of Cash to the Taliban as Kabul Fell

On August 14, Secretary of State Blinken spoke with Afghanistan’s former president and promised that the Biden administration would provide a bulk shipment of dollars.

The next day Kabul fell.

On that same call, Afghanistan’s former leader had agreed to surrender power to the Taliban.

The Biden administration had effectively agreed to provide a massive infusion of cash to the Taliban. But the final deal fell through, the Afghan government fled, and the Taliban took Kabul.

The bulk shipment of dollars never did arrive.

Biden’s diplomats scrambled to evacuate from Kabul. Ajmal Ahmady, the governor of DAB, Afghanistan's central bank, already had a ticket and headed to the airport. He managed to get on a military plane.

Since then he's tweeted that he was warned that the Taliban had come looking for him.

The Taliban were hoping to get their hands on Afghanistan’s money, but much of it is in the United States. The most tangible part of Afghanistan’s assets, $1.3 billion in gold, is sitting in downtown Manhattan, a little bit south of Ground Zero, in the vaults of the Federal Reserve.

If there were any justice, that money would be used to compensate the police officers, firefighters, and workers who died on that day or later on from ailments related to 9/11.

Unfortunately, there will be many more who lose their lives and livelihood over this mess who will also go uncompensated

[Vaquero]

Hey Xiden! That’s MY money you’re pi$$ing away!

[RummyChick]

This shows why we cant deal with afghanistan. US govt just sends pallets of cash to dictators and enemies..but taliban could care less. Blood thirsty rag tag terrorists that bested the US. Probably got a better deal from china for chaos

[FlyingEagle]

Trademark Obama Biden, fly pallets of taxpayer cash to terrorists.

Think about that for a while.

We have not heard a word about trying to get the airplane full of stolen cash back from Afghan President Goner.

Not strange if true. Obama did it. That pisses me off. That’s our tax money that’s going to terrorists. Is this why they want 3.5 trillion. After the bombing the taliban is doing security. Wonder if biden paid up or if the 83 billion of our weapons were enough. I hope he has to answer for this.

[I want the USA back]

Words escape me. He was willing and eager to deliver money to terrorists. Just like his former boss. Treason.

What I really think will not appear in print.

[Vermont Lt]

Remember…10% for the big guy.

[DCBryan1]

Someone should get a cartoonist to draw Biden in Elmer Fudd uniform being paid his own cash back by a group of laughing Taliban

Biden: “We are going to hunt you down and make you pay”!
Taliban: “LOL...we are going to pay you back with your own money. What say you? 10 % for the “Big guy”. LOL !

[McGruff]

What about?

The Russian embassy in Kabul alleged Monday that Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has fled from Kabul with four cars and a helicopter full of cash, Russia’s state news agency RIA Novosti reported.

The report quoted embassy spokesman Nikita Ishchenko as saying that “the collapse of the regime ... is most eloquently characterized by how Ghani escaped from Afghanistan: four cars were filled with money, they tried to shove another part of the money into a helicopter, but not everything fit. And some of the money was left lying on the tarmac.”

[Fido969]

Less 10 percent for the Big Guy.

[StAntKnee]

Because he has been bought and sold so many times, Biden believes anybody can be bought. All those years in D.C. All that vaunted experience. Nothing but years of experience in grift.

[chopperk]

Rumor has it that Biden told the Pentagon to send missiles to the US Embassy where the Taliban makes its headquarters in Kabul as retribution for their bombing at the Airport killing Americans, but they lost the street address.

[Spok]

Clueless Joe will return the gold and pay billions more. Wait until the Taliban beheads an American citizen on prime time. The media won’t be able to hide that. Billions will be paid in secret.

[Travis McGee]

Biden's not in control of anything, it's Obama via Susan Rice. Biden just reads the teleprompter and refers to the large-font note cards prepared for him by others.

At the beginning of yesterday's short Q&A, he even said out loud: "Ladies and gentlemen, they gave me a list here, the first person I was instructed to call on was Kelly O'Donnell." His utter lack of awareness that he wasn't supposed to admit this is a clear sign of his senility.

So, who is winding up the dummy to speak their words? Why do you think they found a bogus role for Susan Rice in the White House? She is Obama's interlocuter. And it must be noted that Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan both worked under Rice in the Obama administration.

Does anybody seriously believe that those two dweeb cucks are making policy on their own? Hell no. Obama is carrying out his "earpiece" plan.

Obama gets to totally sabotage America, and Biden gets blamed.

[Yo-Yo]

Because giving pallets of cash worked out so well with Iran.

[lepton]

I suspect we may well be paying the Taliban for those checkpoints, and to let folks through.

"The most tangible part of Afghanistan’s assets, $1.3 billion in gold."

What.. That's it.? For a nation as large as Afghanistan.?? Where's the rest of it..??

[joethedrummer]

“The bulk shipment of dollars never did arrive.“

Just, dang!…. Now those DC politicians have to worry about divvying it all up amongst themselves…

I really feel for them…

It sounds more like Biden’s team is messing up and the foreign guy with the foreign name gets blamed, because how could good old middle class Joe mess up so royally?
