“The Taliban is not the south — the North Vietnamese army. They’re not — they’re not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy in the — of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable,” Biden stressed.
But in true Vietnamese War style, American officials have been airlifted from the US embassy in Kabul in what seems to have been an inexplicable US intelligence blunder or a strange new back-room deal.
The WSJ reported that US-sponsored peace talks in Doha allowed the Taliban to present themselves as a moderate alternative to the US-supported Afghan regime. Taliban forces in Kabul already have a negotiating team to secure the transfer of power from the government to the Taliban. Head of High Council for National Reconciliation Abdullah Abdullah is said to be mediating the process, reported Khaama Press.
