Afghanistan

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley slammed the Biden administration over Afghanistan while defending the Trump administration over their role in negotiating with the Taliban.

Haley said the Biden administration “completely surrendered to the Taliban” as she spoke to Major Garrett on CBS’s Face The Nation. She further pronounced America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan an “embarrassing failure” and claimed that the U.S.’ allies “literally won’t trust us at this point and think we’ve lost our minds.”

As the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan gave way to the ongoing chaos in Kabul, there has been a great deal of conversation lately about whether Haley and the rest of the Donald Trump administration laid the groundwork for the current chaos. Garrett brought this up, noting that former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tried to forge a peace agreement with the Taliban years ago that originally called for U.S. forces to be withdrawn from Afghanistan by May.

“Did that set in motion what we’re seeing now?” Garrett asked.

Haley’s answer:

I think everybody’s wanting to go back and talk about Trump. The truth is, under four years of Trump, Afghanistan was safe. We made sure that we kept terrorism at bay and that we came from a strength of position. What’s happened in seven months of Biden is we’ve completely surrendered and we’ve humiliated ourselves in the eyes of the world. The thing is, there are times where you have to negotiate with the devil, but you negotiate with the devil from a point of strength. You don’t do it from a point of weakness. We literally have no leverage right now with the Taliban. All we’re going to see them do is they’re going to buy time and act like they’re going to be nice until August 31st, and then all of those women, all of those girls, everything is going to go back to the way it was.

Really now Nimrata, Trump released 5000 Taliban who were imprisoned and cut our troop count in Afghanistan down to 2500. Plus he planned to be out by May 1.

You're full of yourself if you think anything would have been different.

1. she forgot, "...safe except for Jan 6th major terrorist attack on America"

[Thomas Hurt]

2. Afghanistan was Afghanistan because the Pig did nothing, when he did do something...

he screwed everyone except the Taliban.

[Champp]

3. BIGLY Republican lie: "We literally have no leverage right now with the Taliban"

They are all prattling this talking-point lie like obedient little fasci-propaganda pimps.

They never say a damn thing about the money. Money is a definite and crucial point of leverage.

So the Republicans should shut up their lying yaps, and try supporting America for a change.

5. Yep, we control Afghanistan's money...what's left of it...

after the Afghan president fled with 160 some million last weekend.

And they never mention the 5000k Taliban trump "negotiated" to release in his Feb. 2020 agreement with the Taliban.

[Walleye]

8. $9 billion is a hell of a big leverage

[underpants]

9. They also seem to think the Taliban would bow to Trump

and Pompeo. They are such strong manly men you see.


The agreement said nothing ZERO about the Taliban NOT taking over. It simply said they’d agree to keep terrorists out of Afghanistan….except for themselves of course.

12. Portliness equals manliness?

That's a new one.

[Boomerproud]

4. What was Garrett's follow up question?

😡

[ZonkerHarris]

7. the questions should be: since you are for staying in Afghanistan how many more American soldiers

lives should be lost before we declare it a loss or a win?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

11. Probably nothing pointed, this is how the M$M operates

They let on RePuQs to spew their talking points uninhibited pretty much always.

At best they proffer softball questions like this one, which I suspect they've provided to the guest in advance so they can formulate their talking points.

[ZonkerHarris]

6. she is a lying pig

[Stuart G]

10. .The PAA, "The Pig Association of America" (of which I am a member) has said that we want nothing to

do with this lying fool/idiot/slob/ & jerk...

[gratuitous]

13. Really Nikki?

Have you forgotten the February 29, 2020 agreement your hero concluded with the Taliban? I'm confident you'd like to forget it and not have anyone bring it up again ever.

It was darned nice of Boss Former Guy to agree to just hand over five military bases to the Taliban, wasn't it?

A. The United States, its allies, and the Coalition will take the following measures in the first one hundred thirty-five (135) days:

1) They will reduce the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan to eight thousand six hundred (8,600) and proportionally bring reduction in the number of its allies and Coalition forces.

2) The United States, its allies, and the Coalition will withdraw all their forces from five (5) military bases.

Did Mr. Shart of the Deal get a good price?
