 CENTCOM Commander Says Military Is Relying On Taliban Protection At Kabul Airport
August 26, 2021 By Tristan Justice

General Kenneth McKenzie Jr. told reporters Thursday military evacuation efforts in Kabul depended on Taliban protection after a pair of ISIS suicide bombings killed at least 12 U.S. servicemembers and dozens of civilians.

“We expect those attacks to continue and we are doing everything we can to prepare for those attacks,” McKenzie said at a Pentagon press briefing. “That includes reaching out to the Taliban who are actually providing the outer security” at the airport.

According to Politico, U.S. officials have shared intelligence with Taliban officials identifying those who have been cleared for evacuation.

I want to believe this is from the Babylon Bee.  Trusting the Taliban?  What kind of idiocy is this?


Giving the the names of Americans CLEARED(?) for evacuation?  Aren't ALL Americans cleared?

In breaking news, the chickens have just inked an agreement with the foxes to provide "outer security" to the henhouse.
