State Department says meeting with senior Taliban leaders was 'candid and professional'

Statement comes two weeks after Joint Chiefs Chairman Milley said Taliban is still a terrorist organization

The State Department said Sunday that meetings it held with the Taliban over the weekend were "candid and professional," as the United States continues to deal with the consequences of its chaotic and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan.

State Department Spokesman Ned Price issued a readout on the meetings in Doha, Qatar, with "senior Taliban representatives." The statement said that the "U.S. delegation focused on security and terrorism concerns and safe passage for U.S. citizens, other foreign nationals and our Afghan partners, as well as on human rights, including the meaningful participation of women and girls in all aspects of Afghan society."

~~~SNIP~~~

The Biden administration has been issuing statements calling on the Taliban to treat women with dignity, not oppress the Afghan people, and to squash terrorism. But the Taliban is nevertheless excluding women from equal education, going "house to house" to kill people who worked with the U.S., and says it will refuse to work with the United States to fight ISIS.

Idiots. Driven out, they kicked us hard as we left, and now we are dictating terms. Our “betters” in action again.

If one still believes that the State Department is anything but a collection of clowns, I submit that article.

Of course it was. Everything compared to the girlie men at the State Department is candid and professional. I doubt there is more than a handful of principled Americans with a spine that are employed by the State Dept. The whole thing needs to be burnt to the ground. Ivy and Colonial League grads should never be hired for government positions. They are a bunch of anti-American indoctrinated pussies that can’t figure out which pronouns to use.

“candid and professional”

Extortion demands with threats of violence, made in calm voices by men wearing expensive Western business suits. Civilized, like something out of Godfather.

You are too kind. How about complicit terrorist enablers who are now going to funnel millions, billions in aid money to pay the terrorist Taliban while claiming it is to help get Americans out of Afghanistan while we really abandoned them on purpose.

” professional’’?

What does that mean? No one had their throat slit or was physically attacked?

Did those in the State dept ask about the missing Americans and our supporters? Did they ask if we could bring them to the USA?
I bet not. Just how much cask will be delivered to the terrorists.

I heard we are now going to be sending the Taliban “humanitarian aid”.

I would call it paying ransom so the Taliban won’t kill the people left behind in order to keep the bad Biden from looking really bad.

The US military is surrendering with good manners I see. All those fake medals that the perfume Princesses of the Pentagon wear must be hateful to see in the mirror.
