Taliban leader personally thanks Donald Trump for getting him out of prison and making his dream...

...of an Afghanistan caliphate a reality (Satire)

Taliban leader Abdul Ghani Baradar has personally thanked former President Donald Trump for freeing him from a Pakistani jail in 2018 and allowing his dream of a Taliban-run Afghanistan to become a reality.
--
“President Obama killed Osama Bin Laden, so to find our leader Abdul Ghani Baradar and 5,000 of our foot soldiers freed from prison at the behest of Donald Trump was a lovely change of tone by the Americans.”

Abdul Ghani Baradar himself said in an address to the Afghan people, “Let us be clear, without Donald Trump and his generous assistance I am not stood here on the verge of becoming Afghanistan’s new Taliban leader.

“In fact, without Donald Trump I would still be rotting in a Pakistani jail, but thankfully he told them to let me go so I could regroup and wait to take over the country – and for that, he will always have the thanks of grateful religious fundamentalists everywhere.

Emphasis mine

Once one of the worlds most wanted men, responsible for the deaths of 260 UK soldiers, freed from jail by Trump - and now the new 'President' of Afghanistan. Trump deserves all of the credit for the horrors Baradar is about to unleash as the death cult takes firm control of all the levers of power again. After all we have seen this Taliban rodeo before, and it all of the horrors x 1,000,000's.

It is true what they say, all the best satire comes from a place of truth.

Heh.

I feel the same about Gitmo. Some in Gitmo were released due to no trial.

although this is perfectly factual it is satire, so I must assume that Baradar never made those comments publicly. If he did I would certainly post this on my local right wing web site.

Just repeating it because u have to notice the unbolded and easy to miss “satire” in the body to avoid potential misinformation.

RWers are spewing lies about this claiming Obama and Biden freed Taliban killers and gave them weapons.
