The Biden Afghanistan disaster will have many long lasting consequences for the United States. One wonders whether that was the plan of the democrats.
Maybe they DID see it coming, but didn't care. They are already referring to the Taliban as partners and trying to legitimize these Islamic terrorists. They probably consider a ransom payment a form of foreign aid to the newly formed and "legitimate" government of Afghanistan.

The "ransom" are the Afghan assets, ($ 9,5 billion of them to be exact, that US/IMF keep frozen, and that Taliban can't access now. )

https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/20...ssets-of-9-5bn

But now it looks like Taliban holds hostages ( in Mazar-i-Sharif, not Kabul; apparently this makes a huge difference, according to some.)
Just to make negotiations "a bit more successful."


Who woulda thought..

Indeed- partners in destroying the US and the west.

The Taliban already released hundreds of ISIS terrorists held in Afghan jails and have welcomed ISIS-K members, despite "assuring" the "Biden admin" that The Taliban will no longer support terrorism.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Only an idiot would presume that the Taliban is going to abandon their radical Islam stance and become friendly, but Biden IS AN IDIOT so it is not surprising he believes them.

Biden is an IDIOT being run by people who want to destroy America. And they're making some good progress on that, enabled by liberals who either hate America themselves or are too blind to see what's happening.

If any embarrassment is exhibited it's primarily for the inability of some to comprehended the facts which ARE clarified .

This embellishment or truncating some information is more less a tactic not needed when reviewing the fact check source.

So what are the facts that CBS is apparently missing?
Please do tell us, without your *embellishments* and referrals to some five page "factcheck" material.


What are the facts, please lay them out in concise manner.

So, the link you called everyone out on, had ZERO facts after the 31st (which clearly you did not read that particular link) since that LINK was clearly obviously AFTER the 31st, but those that actually read the lonk already understand that..

What about after the 31st? You know, those dates that we are currentlt talking about?
