    Why is the Cia head meeting with the Taliban, instead of Sec of State, Ambassadors, VP?

    Because you always try to encourage a parent to discipline their own child before getting involved.

    At this point he only does what is whispered in his ear piece. Which explains why in the middle of a speech he breaks out in inexplicable whispering.

    Why are they meeting with them in the first place, there shouldn’t be any negotiation with terrorists to begin with.

    They say Afghanistan will run out of food by winter. I am sure the Taliban has a handle on that.

    Wonder how well the Afghanistan interpreters were vetted and documented from the begining of the promise to bring them back after the war?

    How many of them have already been killed and a Taliban fighter has now assumed their identity and paperwork in order to board a flight to America made in haste?

    7 days to get them all out of there, can proper vetting truly be done?

    Technicality here...
    Al-qu'ida is identified (by State Dept) as terrorists.

    The Afghan branch of the Taliban is not identified as terrorists...they are just an extreme authoritarian branch of Islam that overthrew the elected government of Afghanistan.

Now this is the deal they made we will leave and you_either behead an American then demand $$$$$$ or demand cash then wait for Biden to flake then behead an American. If regular Americana do not step up further to get them out we will remain on our knees.
