Blinken: Biden Open to Working with Taliban if It ‘Upholds the Basic Rights of Its People’

Frances Martel 16 Aug 2021

American Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a CNN interview on Sunday that the administration of President Joe Biden “can work with and recognize” a Taliban government in Afghanistan that respects women and “doesn’t harbor terrorists.”

The Taliban, the jihadist organization that ruled Afghanistan prior to the U.S. invasion of that country in 2001, completed its takeover of the country on Sunday, surrounding Kabul and negotiating the departure of the previous Afghan government. Ex-President Ashraf Ghani reportedly fled Sunday after delivering a bizarre televised speech in which he claimed to be working to regroup the Afghan military to fight the Taliban. Thousands of Afghan troops had deserted and fled into neighboring countries at the time of his claim.

The siege of Kabul arrived days before the planned complete departure of U.S. troops from the country, which Biden had scheduled to be completed by August 31. Under President Donald Trump, the White House had negotiated with the Taliban to leave the country by May 1, 2021, in exchange for the Taliban agreeing not to attack U.S. troops and agreeing to cut ties to international terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda. Biden broke the deal in April, changing the deadline for withdrawal to September, then revising it to August. Taliban officials responded by asserting that the agreement no longer bound them, as Biden had broken it, and launched 22,000 attacks between April and July, according to the former Afghan government.

They're already forcing girls 15 and up into marriage with Talibanis, executing gays and shooting "collaborators."  That's a lot for Blinken to ignore.

The problem with the world is that the Intelligent People are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence and working in the Biden WH.

The Taliban

• doesn't respect women.
  
  
• harbors terrorists.

This Blinken guy has no idea. He has never experienced evil in any way. He thinks everyone lives in Lollipop Land.

"American Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a CNN interview on Sunday that the administration of President Joe Biden “can work with and recognize” a Taliban government in Afghanistan that respects women and “doesn’t harbor terrorists.”"

I actually congratulate the Chinese communists for "treating this guy as he deserves" several months' back up in Alaska.

It's amazin' that anyone could actually be this stupid.

I guess Hunter's need for opium supply necessitates these measures by his dad.

This is absolute liberal bat crap craziness!!! Does anyone honestly believe that the  Taliban is going to listen or comply with anything that the U.S. State Dept. calls for?  They just handed them Kabul!!! They don't give a darn what the U.S. wants, or advises .... the U.S. lost face and Biden has made us look extremely weak to the entire World!!!

State Department calls for Taliban to include women in its government

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 cited a United Nations declaration calling for "an immediate cessation of all hostilities and the establishment, through inclusive negotiations, of a new government that is united, inclusive and representative – including with the full, equal and meaningful participation of women."

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..............

You got that right.  Delusion, idiocy, or both?

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Biden is completely clueless on what the Taliban stands for, and it ain't 'human rights'.  It is sharia law, and it ultimate goal is to conquer all and conversion to Islam.

What does the Taliban want for Afghanistan?
“The Taliban’s aim is simple,” Robert Crews, an Afghanistan expert from Stanford University, told The Washington Post. It is to “take back what the group lost in the early 2000s”.

“They want their Islamic emirate back in power,” Crews said. “They want their vision of Islamic law.”

He continued: “They don’t want a parliament. They don’t want electoral politics. They have an emir and they have a council of mullahs, and that’s the vision they see as best for Islam.”

Well, having women and girls (and boys, too) as sex slaves for government members' pleasure is a sort of inclusion, and the most likely to be happening.

Hunter's probably asking dad for one or two of those 15-year-old Afghan girls.

I wish I could say that you are wrong. It's so disgusting and despicable, it sickens me.
