“The likelihood that there’s going to be a Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely,” Biden claimed not all that long ago.
Now he’s pleading with the Taliban to spare our embassy and avoid another Benghazi, instead of doing the sane thing and evacuating now.
American negotiators are trying to extract assurances from the Taliban that they will not attack the U.S. Embassy in Kabul if the extremist group overruns the capital in a direct challenge to the country’s government, two American officials said.
I’m sure the Taliban and the various Al Qaeda and other Jihadist elements in the country who have been killing Americans for nearly two decades can be trusted to keep their word.
If not, Jen Psaki can come around to lecture them about how, “The Taliban also has to make an assessment about what they want their role to be in the international community.”
“American diplomats now are trying to determine how soon they may need to evacuate the U.S. Embassy should the Taliban prove to be more bent on destruction than a détente.”
Should?
The time to evacuate the embassy was the withdrawal. Biden should be evacuating now. Not waiting around to see if the Taliban will play nice.
Biden administration officials insist that there are no immediate plans to significantly draw down the embassy’s staff of 4,000 employees, including about 1,400 Americans, as U.S. troops formally complete their withdrawal from the country.
Combined with about 600 troops, Biden is leaving 2,000 American hostages to fortune. This is criminal insanity.
But don’t worry, Joe’s got a plan. Bribe the Taliban.
Mr. Khalilzad is hoping to convince Taliban leaders that the embassy must remain open, and secure, if the group hopes to receive American financial aid and other assistance as part of a future Afghan government.
Paying Islamic terrorists not to attack our embassy.
1. It’s criminal treason
2. It doesn’t work. Obama was paying off the Islamic terrorists in Benghazi. They still attacked us.
Mr. Neumann described a push-and-pull strain between the Pentagon and the State Department in similar situations, given the military’s responsibility for carrying out evacuations and diplomats’ duty to maintain American assistance and influence even in danger zones.
The Pentagon is right. Get Americans out of there or Biden will have even more blood on his dirty hands.
Wellington says
Beyond pathetic because America has wasted huge amounts of money, and more important, American lives and body parts, for a hopeless country PRECISELY because it is 99% Islamic (and a very mountainous geography only aids Mo’s most devoted and thus most deluded followers).
Until the enemy is correctly identified, so to that extent will America continue to engage in futile, wasteful and stupid behavior. The enemy is Islam, just as during the Cold War the enemy was Communism, just as during WWII the enemy (among others) was Nazism. Difference is that in the latter two examples the enemy was properly identified. Not there yet with the “first example.” Beyond defensible as well as pathetic. No excuse whatsoever for this rank idiocy would be even remotely good enough.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
100% correct.
And:
The Allies would have lost World War II if they had not properly identified the enemy.
But you knew that already…
Brenrod says
In a war it’s usually best to massacre your enemy.
Donovan Nuera says
Ann Coulter Doctrine should have been followed. Most of Afghans being illiterate and ignorant and our billions in outreach civilian support could not have been used instead to teach literacy through the Bible?? But no…. we bought them shiny new korans and sucked up to them if a single soldier touched or disposed of a soiled Koran “wrong”. The Afghans sure bolstered our attempt at nation building by helping us find Taliban infiltrators or stop huddling in idle groups on street corners during normal business hours and glare at our troops driving by their dilapidated neighborhoods that never got spruced up despite tons of tax money thrown at their “elder councils”. Hey, they insisted on an Islamic constitution: enjoy it!
Infidel says
Like I said in the previous thread, he should shut down the embassies in both Kabul and Islamabad, and have the embassy in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, oversee both countries
Keith O says
C’mon man, it’s all ok, we have worked out how we can blame Trump for everything when it goes bad.
Eleanor says
That gave me a giggle Keith, as it’s so darn true.
owensgate says
So #46 begs and pleads for an enemy of the Late Great USA to “spare them” (so they can exit with their tails between their legs). How disgusting, and the epitome of global embarrassment. I recall he wasn’t so gutless whet he demanded some Ukraine Prosecutor be “fired” or money would be withheld. At least President Trump had it right; dispense hellfire on any Taliban military threat against USA Troops and Civilians during planned exit. How far the mighty have fallen.
Spiro says
Don’t worry everything is fine no boarder problem NO Taliban problem NO oil problem since domestic is shut down
No inflation problem
No violence in cities
So today Biden goes on vacation
I guess there’s only so much you can screw
Up in 6 months without a break
And we’ll blame this whole mess on Republicans and Trump with the help msm the sheep will believe
James Lincoln says
Spiro,
His handlers are allowing Sleepy Joe to go on vacation – so that he can rest up for his next round of screw-ups…

Biden Pleads and Bribes Taliban to Spare U.S. Embassy and 2,000 Americans

If you can’t trust the bloody Taliban, who can you trust? sarc/off Utter insanity.

New elections. The American people must protest against this devilish government.
We need our real Presidnet Mr Donald Trump

I bet that Coptic filmmaker who directed that Mohammad video is anxious that the DOJ will put him on jail again if SoS Blinkin blames the upcoming massacres on the video.
Spiro says
Why are there 2000
Americans in that embassy in a war zone and why an embassy like the picture in another post
This country is nuts
dumping money down a rat hole
gravenimage says
Another good question, Spiro.
Phil Copson says

It’s just projection: Biden has spent his entire life eagerly demonstrating – (and boasting) – that there is absolutely nothing that he won’t do or say in return for money.
It is simply beyond his comprehension that anyone else might have other priorities.
CMJsMarmee says
What a judgment on our nation to have such a man *installed* into the highest position in the land. We have nothing more than a scarecrow seated in the Oval Office. Without the charm of a scarecrow.
James Lincoln says
CMJsMarmee,
I would have preferred a scarecrow.
At least a scarecrow cannot sign Executive Orders…
Donovan Nuera says
Or at least the “Scarecrow” Rev. Syn of Romney Marsh. He got things done! (See old Disney adventure series from 1950s)
Check Burry says
I would have removed any non military either with troops or before troops withdrew.
Seems logical to me, but not to fumbler joe.

Joe when you bend over for islam you are going to get your ass kicked. The leaders of islam see weakness and will always take advantage of it. The only thing that will stop islam id total destruction and sending them back to the cave this ideology crawled out of.

Begging Biden . and to make matters even worse Biden is begging to brutal ,cruel misogynist raping ,murderous jihadist Muslims of the worse ofthe worst.

But then again I will bet $100 that the Biden Administration will insist on having unvetted MoBros-affiliated imam give an ecumenical prayer at the 9/11/01 20th Anniversary services at Ground Zero and the Pentagon and have CAIR’s Niwad and Ibrahim Pooper on the dais. Oh…. and a muslima with American flag niqab!
Mr. Spencer should create “Dhimmi Bingo” game that checks off all the dhimmi things our “sophisticated” government officials do for the ceremonies or include in the speeches. (I.e. Gold Star Hihad Father (fake lawyer) Khan makes a speech).
