The Taliban on Tuesday announced a new interim government in Afghanistan that excludes women and includes the head of a militant group who's wanted by the FBI.

Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, one of the Taliban's founders, was named prime minister. He's on a UN blacklist.

And Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, a Taliban co-founder, has been tapped as deputy prime minister....

The Taliban named Sirajuddin Haqqani as interior minister. Haqqani is the head of the Haqqani Network — a US-designated terror group in Pakistan and Afghanistan with close ties to Al Qaeda — and there's a $10 million US bounty on his head.

Nobody should be at all surprised how things go in the Taliban Afghanistan now........we’ve seen it all before and the outcome will never be good for Afghans. They’ve already declared it will be a Sharia run Islamic country.....therefore little will change from before apart from enough to sustain their power.

Sigh... I knew one of the former interior ministers. He was a sharp guy who I trained to do professional software development, project management, and leadership using John Maxwell’s materials. He was eventually sacked for no good reason by the less-than-astute Ashraf Ghani.

So this looks like Afghanistan will be the jihad base of the world.

Normally, his new found visibility as minister would make him easy to take out with a drone.

But Joe won’t do that because he supports the taliban at the behest of the chinese that are happy to have another proxy by which they can conduct their own illegal activities while maintaining face as a “legitimate” country.

How long before the DHS/FBI remove the terrorism designation in the spirit of government to government cooperation?

He can easily turn around and place a bounty on Biden’s head payable by check and reimbursable at any American bank.
