Anti-Taliban resistance says White House silent as Afghanistan fell
Washington Examiner ^ | August 26, 2021 04:49 PM | by Katherine Doyle

The spokesman and head of foreign relations for Afghan resistance leader Ahmad Massoud said the Biden administration has not been in touch with the group since Taliban insurgents seized control of Afghanistan this month.

Nazary told the Washington Examiner that the front’s stronghold in northeastern Afghanistan’s Panjshir province could be used as a haven for people stuck in Kabul, where suicide attacks outside the international airport on Thursday killed at least a dozen U.S. military personnel and scores of Afghan civilians.

He said it had been several months since he last spoke with the White House and characterized the silence as reflecting a “lack of interest” from Washington.

Nazary suggested that groups unable to leave the country could be sent to Panjshir.

“We believe the latest development with the suicide bombings makes our case stronger because we’ve been warning the current administration, we’ve been warning all our Western partners ... that international terrorism is stronger compared to 2001,” Nazary said. “It shouldn’t be ignored.”

The resistance could prove an essential partner to the United States's counterterrorism efforts inside the country, he added.

“These are the last allies the United States has. If these allies are not on the ground, it will be very difficult to fight terrorism inside Afghanistan in the future,” he said. “There is still a threat. ... This is just the beginning.”

All the so called Generals are like all these so called Doctors...IYIs all
According to NNT, there’s a certain class of individuals who:

are “products” of top universities, prestigious “thought-leading” organizations, elite think-tanks, or the most opinion-forming media

but have only dry, theoretical, academic “experience” - never had any real chance to verify their beliefs with reality

and (what’s maybe even more important) have no “skin in the game” - they take no factual accountability for what they say/advise/claim

are nevertheless bold and cheeky enough to present their opinions with full confidence, without blinking an eye

They’re negotiating with the Taliban.

At this stage it is easy to believe that the Biden Regime is aiding the Taliban and will help them crush the former vice president and any opposition forces. Further, Biden seems to be entertaining the idea of assigning US diplomats to the former US embassy long with certain other countries who either kept their embassies open or plan to cooperate with the Taliban’s call to reopen their own embassies.

To be fair, Biden was unconscious from Thorazine and Klonopin.

Well, you know that it was planned to be that way. The biden administration was told exactly what to do to turn Afghanistan over to the bearded savages. So do not expect any outrage from the wet noodle. Puppet Man knew it was part of his mission. In return for being placed in the White House, he was required to bring about the destruction of the United States. He has cooperated. He gave the taliban 80 billion dollars worth of materiel, and a thousand or so American hostages.

Subhuman savages are now in control of the entire wealth, power, government and infrastructure of Afghanistan.

Remember when obammy gave islamists billions? When he allowed islamists to attack the American embassy in Libya? Same thing happening, but on a bigger scale.

Afghan Army units have joined the resistance with equipment and the resistance say they will be a safe haven for Americans seeking refuge from Taliban. We should provide air support for them.

We should but the Biden military won’t. In fact I read somewhere on FR that some of the explosives used on the attack on the airport were from US supplies abandoned when we simply left bases and military equipment all over Afghanistan. The scope of our actions makes me suspect we would more likely bomb any rebel forces still opposing the Taliban.
