The State Department on Tuesday expressed concerns over the makeup of the new interim Afghan government announced by the Taliban, including the lack of female leaders and the past actions of some of those appointed to top posts.
A State Department spokesperson said in a statement shared with The Hill that although the Taliban “has presented this as a caretaker cabinet,” the U.S. “will judge the Taliban by its actions, not words.”
“We have made clear our expectation that the Afghan people deserve an inclusive government,” the spokesperson added.
The statement went on to note that the list of names announced by the Taliban earlier Tuesday “consists exclusively of individuals who are members of the Taliban or their close associates and no women.”
The announced leaders come after the Taliban last month specifically called on women to join government offices in an apparent attempt to portray itself as a more moderate version of the group that previously enforced extreme laws on women and girls, including preventing them from going to school and barring them from leaving their homes unless they were accompanied by a man.

Im sure the Taliban will get right on that.
Haha!!! No way!, this is too friggin funny!
Is this satire?
We should write them a letter expressing our concerns. I’m sure they did not do this intentionally.
Leftists do not live in the real world.
This is the Babylon Bee, right?
What about the LGBTQ members, not just women?
AND .. if Code Pink is still running (strange how they go silent in a 'D' administration), perhaps they could drop with them and show the Taliban how to wear them!
cMade me check, nope not the Babylon Bee.
Everything woke turns to $h!!
Fake news. biden treats women and young girls as objects for his pleasure. One can bet the biden administration only keeps women around to be the men’s play toys
They’re nuttier than the Taliban.
“The State Department on Tuesday expressed concerns...”

This will amount to even less than nothing. We know that because even when they’re “deeply concerned,” nothing comes of it.
Credit to where credit is due! Will the tag team of Bergdahl-Obama please report to the Press Pool. That 5 Taliban for 1 Bowe is raising concerns again.
FYI: Bowe Bergdahl is appealing his 16 October 2017 GUILTY PLEA, requesting to have the conviction and sentence expunged.
A clue was the stoning to death of all four female Afghan fighter pilots.
Need some diversity which means must include camel humpers to the goat and sheep humpers.
