Taliban completes conquest of Afghanistan after seizing Panjshir
FDD's Long War Journal ^ | September 6, 2021 | Bill Roggio

Posted on 09/06/2021 9:06:23 AM PDT by Trump20162020

The Taliban completed its military conquest of Afghanistan and took control of the mountainous province of Panjshir after seven days of heavy fighting. The fall of Panjshir puts the Taliban in full control of the country and eliminates the final vestige of organized resistance to its rule.

The Taliban began its assault on Panjshir on Aug. 30, the day the U.S. military withdrew its last forces from Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. The Taliban seized control of the Afghan capital of Kabul and 32 of the country’s 34 provinces on Aug. 16 after a three and a half month long offensive that began on May 1.

Well that was worth a few trillion dollars. Thanks, globalists.

The former Afghan VP was one of the leaders of that reistance group there. I wonder what happened to him.

Okay. Now where is the US aid money. Will be sent because our “new friends” the compassionate and modern Taliban can act as a counterbalance against the mean and rotten terrorists like the ISIS offshoots. Worked wonders in Vietnam, El Salvador, Venezuela and Lebanon.

"On 6 September, as the Taliban took full control of the Panjshir Valley, Saleh had reportedly fled to Tajikistan."

Only his funeral director knows for sure. Not a good idea to be in that group now.

In China they have plenty of suddenly disappearing resistance people. Some Catholic priests for instance. Not to mention all those Muslim leaders in China.

Good work.

I should have known because Tajikistan has a lot of intriguing restaurants and tourist attractions. One point in its favor: he may have saved him life going there./S

The main meal typically involves a thick and hearty soup such as shurbo. Other Tajikistan popular cuisine includes steamed meat dumplings (mantu) and Tajik street food such as samosas (sambusa). Meat dishes and soup are the most common dishes in Tajikistan and salads of diced cucumber and tomato are also common.

Whatever “Indian TV” reported yesterday ain’t the reality today, according to just about everyone online. The leader fled the country even.

9/11 + 20 will be a day that will be sickening. Americans died in vain and it was all for nothing unless you are the Taliban, DNC and Bin Laden smiling in hell.

"Taliban completes conquest of Afghanistan after seizing Panjshir"

... with the complicit assistance of Traitorjoe and his military and civilian kakistocracy, including SECDEFComPoop, "Fool of Kabul" Milley, CENTCOMPoop McKenzie, and plenty of others.

Also complicit are the Demonicrat (and RINOcrat) voters who elected Traitorjoe. Treason has no statute of limitations. So at times, if not in reality, you Demonicrats will wake up in a cold sweat at 3AM, thinking you heard pounding on your front door.

I just watched an interview with a retired Indian General who is really sharp. And he seems very well connected. He says the truth of the matter is that the Taliban tried to rush the valley and got a bloody nose and had to retreat. Apparently the Kabul hospitals are overflowing with injured taliban.

They cried to Pakistan who has now gone in with cobras and a regiment of soldiers firing like crazy and now they are running out of ammo and they don’t have a great supply line so the Paki general is calling for more ammo and Reinforcements. Like the general says you don’t call for reinforcements if you are winning. Also the N. Alliance is controlling the heights. So I’m not sure the reports by the Taliban are true.

If the Taliban wasn’t given help all these years...really great help...they would all be dead by now.

But NOoooooo, somehow the Terrorists look healthier than the citizens.

From whom did they receive such support?

I’m hearing the Tajiks are now sending arms to the N alliance including shoulder fired missiles so that would make a big difference. Like that Indian General said if the Russians couldn’t take Panshir he seriously doubts the Paki’s will.

Half of it is in banks in Dubai, and the other half is in banks around Washington DC.

I’ll go you one further...I think the hastily buried-at-sea Bin Laden is enjoying this from his villa on the Mediterranean, as he plucks grapes, and drinks wine.
