You certainly must know that the Taliban has no love or respect for Biden. They look at weakness as a mortal sin and, having steamrolled themselves into a huge win against the United States, they are not about to give an inch. After all, Biden is a diminished man in the eyes of the world; he handled the withdrawal like a two-year-old kid. Not only did he embarrassingly surrender, but he also forked over a huge weapons and technological stash.
Now, as the Taliban sees it, is an ideal opportunity to really stick it up Biden’s and America’s asses. Not only did Burns’ pleas fall on deaf ears, but Taliban doubled down by announcing that absolutely no Afghan citizens would be allowed into the Kabul airport. Biden, in a lame attempt to save face, pretended to the world that it was his decision to stick with the August 31st date.
One would think that it’s going to be a tough proposition to get the 6,000 troops, plus Americans and Afghanis within the airport, out of Kabul within the next six days. Even if Biden can arrange that, he leaves behind other Americans who haven’t been able to get to the airport, as well as hundreds, if not thousands, of Afghanis who have been sympathetic to the U.S. over the years. That factor weighs even more heavily, as it appears that a database listing such Afghanis has fallen into the hands of the Taliban; they now know the names and addresses of who they need to kill.
While the United States in recent days has ramped up its airlifts amid new reports of rights abuses that fuel concern about the fate of thousands of people who fear retribution from the Taliban and are trying to flee the country, the general consensus on the world stage is that Biden is virtually impotent. With the 20th anniversary of 9/11 looming, the possibility of more Taliban, ISIS and Al Qaeda bloodshed against Americans is huge.
That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
