I'm pretty sure they were all painted with the same brush here.

Talk about painting with a broad brush..... Hello pot, have you met kettle?

How dare you assume the brush's gender!

I was going to say something along those lines but probably meaner.

State Department calls for Taliban to include women in its government

Spokesman Ned Price says US Might Recognize Government that 'upholds rights' and 'doesn't harbor terrorists'

Despite the Taliban's long history of oppression of women and iron-fisted rule, U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price Monday urged Afghanistan's new leaders to form an inclusive government that had women in it.

Price said that the U.S. government would recognize a potential new government of Afghanistan so long as that government "upholds rights, doesn't harbor terrorists, and protects the rights of women and girls." He did not say how the Taliban could convince the U.S. government that it has reformed itself in this way.

I never thought of the Taliban having a sense of humor but I gotta believe they're laughing their azzes off over this.

you think this was the cleanest way? what we're seeing right now is the best that could have been expected?

You mean people trying to hold onto the exterior of planes and falling to their death isn’t the best possible outcome?

 

[Franklin Pierce]

Just imagine being the Pentagon and State Department spokesmen having to come out and try to defend the Afghanistan wreck.

 

[Orange defense]

Congratulations Biden!

 

[Orange defense]

Should’ve let Hannibal Smith and the “A” team take it over.

Lol.

They could hire a few VN delinquents.

Again, if we would have announced a date you guys would be on here saying how stupid that was.

There was no clean way to do this.

You guys? I’m simply posting an interview I listened to. I’m never in favor of posting a hard date wrt military operations. We should have gradually and quietly gotten our people out and those Afghanis that were at great risk if they wanted to go, with no open discussion about timelines at all, and left the Afghan govt in the best possible position in doing so.

America Last: Biden Will Not Prioritize Americans Over Afghans in Afghanistan Evacuation

President Joe Biden is not planning to prioritize thousands of American citizens stranded in evacuations from Afghanistan, as the country falls similar to that of the Fall of Saigon in 1975, over Afghan nationals applying for visas to the United States.

Pentagon press secretary John Kirby confirmed to Fox News on Sunday evening that the administration will not give priority evacuation to Americans in Afghanistan over Afghans applying for visas.

Democrats Beg Joe Biden: Open U.S. Borders to Flood of Afghan Refugees

Democrats and mass migration activists are pleading with President Joe Biden to open the United States’ borders to a flood of Afghans.

As Afghanistan’s capital city of Kabul falls under Taliban control, House Democrats are urging Biden to admit as many Afghans to the U.S. as possible through the Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) program and the refugee resettlement program.

Yes

This reminds of the transition from W to Obama and nobody on either side could really figure out if they wanted to credit/blame Bush and Obama for departing Iraq.

The State Department is calling on the Taliban to have a more inclusive government. You honestly can’t even make this sh*t up anymore.

Oh look the Progressive West telling people living in the Stone Age how they should be more like them...its like colonialism, but more p@ssified.
