Biden’s own advisors told him the Taliban would prevail before the end of the year.

He said as much.

And you can best believe that word of that assessment found its way back to the Afghan military. Not good for morale.

If Biden’s mouth is moving, he’s lying.

Nothing will happen, because this will all be swept under the carpet as if it never took place. Congressional Republicans are complicit in all of this, and the phonies like McCarthy and Graham, will whine a bit, but will turn-tail, and become silent. Justice will never be served on anything.

there were reports last week that Ghani’s brother had joined the Taliban, with this update:

22 Aug: NDTV India: “Accept Taliban, Do Not Support Them”: Former Afghan President’s Brother
In a short but wide-ranging discussion with NDTV, Hashmat Ghani also said India would have “no choice but to maintain a political relationship” with the Taliban
Reported by Vishnu Som, Edited by Chandrashekar Srinivasan (with inputs from Agencies AFP & Reuters)
“I have accepted the Taliban but do not support them... ‘supporting’ is a very strong word. What happens once they are in control... that remains to be seen,” Mr Ghani, a prominent businessman and the leader of Afghanistan’s nomadic Kochi population, said...

Mr Ghani’s remarks comes as a video of him apparently pledging support to a Taliban presenting itself as a moderate version of the brutal group that ruled 1996-2001 was tweeted this week.

NDTV has not been able to independently verify this video...

He also spoke about the US’ decision to freeze nearly $9.5 billion in assets of the Afghan central bank; he criticised the move and said it denied Afghans access to money to rebuild their country...

He also hit out at Vice President Amrullah Saleh, who has joined hands with Ahmad Massoud, the son of an anti-Taliban fighter, to lead a military resistance that claims to have re-captured three districts.

Mr Ghani called Mr Saleh an “idiot” and said he had led his brother - against whom he claimed an assassination plot - astray. He also denied reports he stole money before fleeing.
“I was expelled from Afghanistan... I didn’t even get the chance to take my slippers off my feet and pull on my boots... arrived empty-handed,” Ashraf Ghani was quoted by news agency AFP.

Reminiscent of his Ukraine statement, that the MSM quickly assembled into a nothing burger.

When is enough, enough, with this guy?

The Afghan army got hung out to dry.
They were not getting paid and food was scarce.

I saw an interview today with a Special Forces officer who had contacts in Afghanistan. When Bagram was abandoned and the Afghan military lost air support, they began to panic and threw in the towel. Ghani preparing to leave the country only added to the problem. The Taliban had taken Kandahar and was moving up route 101 in a huge column......air strikes could have decimated the Taliban advance but we did not take advantage of the situation.
