Pallets of Cash for Hostages? Biden's National Security Adviser Talks Giving Aid to the Taliban

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan about the question of sending aid to the Taliban.
You would think, at this point in time, that would be a laughable question after we just came off years of fighting them.
But apparently it’s not too much for Sullivan.
https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1432746089669595141Sullivan said that they did intend to keep giving humanitarian aid going through NGOs to the Afghan people. But the Taliban now control the everything, including the banks, so I wouldn’t bet that all that money going to the NGOs is going to get to them and/or stay with them to ultimately get to the people. Sullivan also said that other types of cash/aid — economic and developmental assistance assistance — would depend on the “Taliban’s actions,” whether they “follow through on their commitments, their commitments to safe passage for Americans and Afghan allies.” He said it depended on their commitment to keeping Afghanistan from becoming a haven for terrorists. That’s delusional: It already is a haven for terrorism. The Taliban themselves are the terrorists. Not to mention all the ISIS-K, al Qaeda and Haqqani people. But more than that — what did he just say? Because it surely sounded a lot like he said they would get money if people — Americans and Afghan allies — who were still trapped in Afghanistan were allowed to leave. Sounds like a slow-moving hostage deal and did we just hear the bribe?
