Biden still trusts the Taliban for security

Rapid Response

Americans have been killed, and Joe Biden still trusts the Taliban.

Biden refused to admit it was a mistake to depend on the Taliban for security outside the Kabul airport and doubled down on policies that have led to the deaths of Americans.

 But as former Obama CIA director Leon Panetta said, Biden’s withdrawal “left us in a very dangerous and difficult situation… thousands of our troops located in a very limited area in an unfriendly country. We’ve got thousands outside trying to get into the airport area. We’ve got the Taliban who are terrorists and certainly supporters of terrorists checking – they’re operating checking points for terrorism. And we’ve got ISIS looking for the opportunity to blow people up.”

Biden’s Pentagon Spokesperson John Kirby refused to rule out Taliban involvement in the terrorist attack.

What kind of a president could see the horror that took place yesterday and refuse to acknowledge any of the mistakes that set the stage for the terrorist attack? Our brave men and women in uniform and the American people deserve better. Biden is a failed president.
