U.S. Considers “Very Big” Bounties on Taliban Leaders After Marco Rubio Learns of More American Hostages
https://thelibertydaily.com ^ | Jan. 26, 2025 | Publius

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has hinted at the possibility of the U.S. government offering substantial rewards for information leading to the capture of top Taliban leaders. This statement comes amid reports that the Taliban might be holding more American hostages than previously known.

Rubio mentioned on the social media platform X that if these reports are verified, the U.S. might introduce bounties potentially larger than those once offered for Osama bin Laden.

“Just hearing the Taliban is holding more American hostages than has been reported,” Rubio stated. “If this is true, we will have to immediately place a VERY BIG bounty on their top leaders, maybe even bigger than the one we had on Bin Laden.”

Had Harris won, we would not know about this. The suggestion is that no only did Biden abandon billions of dollars of military weapons, he also abandoned American citizens. Rubio believes they are "hostages."

Just give Rubio pictures of the Taliban savages’ houses so he can drop them on the table. They’ll get the message. Again.

WUT? The former residents knew or were so inept they didn’t. Is that covered by the pardon deal. Did Carmella get a pardon? Good on Marco’s staff or whoever.

Instead of cash, offer them 72 progressive women and 28 progressive men. It would be a win-win-win; get the progs out of our country, get the muzzies to turn on each other, and get the progs to their version of heaven as well.

NO RETURNS!!

Biden left tons of Americans behind in Afghanistan and the media covered it up.

One of the more shameful chapters in a long series of shameful chapters of the Biden regime's feckless conduct in office.

Biden and/or his people HAD to know. But the little people are expendable. If Harris and/or Biden’s staff knew, they also need to subpoenaed before Congress to give details on what they knew, and what, if any, measures they were taking to get the hostages freed.

The Taliban might accept the progressive men if you put them in a dress. They would balk at accepting progressive women. At some level, they aren’t completely stupid.

I think the word for duck in Taliboob is “BIDEN.”

Until the US and other countries make it too hot for any terrorist group to maintain a headquarters (safe haven) in a country, they will be allowed to stay. Going after the terrorists is only part of the job. They also will have to make the locals determine the terrorist groups are a detriment to their lives and that having them gone is better. A little rain must fall in everyone’s life.

Iirc, three thousand plus Americans were left behind in Afghanistan with no help from Biden to get out.

Nobody ever documented whether any / some/ all ever made it out.

Just tell them that the progressive women are a new variety of goat, with hair colors not found in nature. Very cutting edge.

If someone starts a book, I wonder how many chapters it would take to truly document all the idiocy, treachery, and criminality of the Biden Administration.

You can always put a Progressive in a GOAT costume to draw talibunny interest.

I'm pretty sure some made it out. CNN defamed one man who got people out and he has obtained a judgement for 5 million dollars against CNN.

I want the names of these so called “Americans”. Guaranteed they are Afghan dual citizens who get welfare here and live cheap there, and their anchor babies.
This isn’t some actual Americans.
