Yes, 30' *tall*. Caveat - that's a ballpark, based partly on the reports, and eyeing it.

Remember how, after the fall of Kabul, we were promised Taliban 2.0? It was going to be a softer, gentler theocracy -- one which was going to include a multitude of voices in government and which definitely wouldn't be embracing terrorism like it did during its first tenure running the country of Afghanistan.
Yes, well, about that: A report states the group, currently the de facto government of Afghanistan, has now threatened to send 2,000 suicide bombers to Washington, D.C. And yet, there's nary a peep out of President Joe Biden's administration.
It's not that we couldn't have seen this coming. Since the Biden administration's capitulation in Afghanistan this summer, the Taliban has made it clear through their actions they're still the same extremists they were when we chased them from power.

Yah, my thought too. If they stay in the area and only go after denizens, go for it. Not like it would be a big loss to America. There are only a handful of DC denizens that I’d miss. The rest are poison.
They better be careful, Nancy may be “scared” again and put them all in DC Jail.-——————
Not to worry. Afghans would be counted as ‘people of color’ even though they claim to be the original Aryans. So not jail time for them!
Mujahideen is a general term of a Muslim “fighting for the faith”
You are right, and thanks for the correction. I think the tailban are trying to garner world attention and western sympathy to get some on their side, in this case in a stupid way, just my two cents.
I’ll bet there are at least 50 here already. Thanks to the idiotic “no vetting, anyone can come!” fustercluck withdrawel.
And they didn’t force them to stay on bases here until positively ID’d, just let them scatter if they walked off.
They’re here, and we don’t know where.
Is that supposed to be a bad thing?

2,000 dead Muslims and multi-thousands of dead and injured progressives. Where’s the downside? < /sarc >
[ Get wind of it? The FBI would offer them planning services, and then blame Trump. ]
The FBI would provide them everything they needed as long as they shaved their beards and wore flannel shirts and MAGA hats.
But think of all the Congresspeople from all our states that could be killed. Remember, the Shanksville airplane was headed for the Capitol before the heroes on board caused it to crash in Pennsylvania.
Suicide bombing a democrat caucus meeting gets a GOP majority the hard way?
I am fine with this as long as they go to every Dem office, every RINO office, the DOJ, FBI, CIA, White House, NEA offices only. That should take care of most all of our problems in this country.
“I think the tailban are trying to garner world attention and western sympathy to get some on their side, in this case in a stupid way, just my two cents.”
I think the Taliban want “western respect” not necessarily sympathy but I really don’t give a dam if they do and do not think they have or will earn it. Power by force is their central tenant of operation and that is not going to change. Thinking they will fundamentally change is like the twin pretenses of (1) that within the ruling Mullahs of Tehran there are actual “mdoerates” or (2) that economic and financial intercourse with Communist China will lead to political “liberalization” in mainland China. Those two pretenses have continually compromised U.S. foreign policy. We should have no similar pretenses about the Taliban.
LOL.. They're too damn busy tracking parents of school students.
And Trump will STILL get blamed for it!
I thought it was for reparations.
Tall?

Well, 30’ off of the ground, but, from the picture, it looks a lot shorter than that.
January 22??
Judging by the height of the gate/door just to the right of the statue; I'd say more like 15-16 feet tall.
