Deborah Lyons, the head of the United Nations mission in Afghanistan, met with Sirajuddin Haqqani, a wanted terrorist with the Haqqani Network, a Taliban component with close ties to Al-Qaeda.

Lyons had served as Canada’s ambassador in Kabul when the Taliban carried out a suicide bombing against a Canadian embassy convoy. Lyons put up a monument to the security contractors who were wounded and killed, but they sued after being abandoned afterwards.

Why? Because the Dems hold the purse strings.

A TENTH? BS BS BS BS. The Taliban IS Afghanistan now. They run the country and own it. So 100% of whatever aid we send that sh!thole will go to the Taliban.

Where in the world did they get the 10% number? What a ridiculous lie.

I don't know, but you better pay up.

Conquest's Second and Third Laws:

2. Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.

3. The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies.

Great point.

Joke biden’s weeping AOC is sudden silent on this....

[Governor Dinwiddie]

"Where in the world did they get the 10% number? What a ridiculous lie."

Yes. All money which goes to Afghanistan goes to the Taliban. End of story.

During the negotiations they said “Hey, if the Big Guy gets 10% WE get 10%.”

$85 Billion dollars worth of the world’s best military equipment wasn’t enough?

[drypowder]

Well none dare call it treason, or else

[BenLurkin]

WHY are we sending ANY aide to Afghanistan?

[DAC21]

100% will go to the Taliban in one way or another.

[DoughtyOne]

That was my thought as well.

10%... LOL

The Biden administration is as clueless as an eight year old.

I used to say Biden operated on a nine year old’s level, so
it seems to match up Obama using the sock puppet to implement
his agenda.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

LOL…I have no doubt.

Then our side said “OK, you guys drive such a hard bargain, we will give you 100%. We won’t settle for anything less.”

[bigbob]

Then other 90% is going to CCP, just a different bank account.

[Brian Griffin]

The charity groups must pay taxes to the Taliban in order for their staff in Afghanistan to not get killed.

I don’t see why Afghans need help herding sheep and goats, but maybe they’ve been on US welfare too long and have forgotten how to raise livestock.

Let's rephrase and ask "Why are American taxpayers funding _____?" (Fill in the blank)

It's almost entirely "our" own fault. We're lazy, uninformed, complacent, and complaisant.

[Spok]

Bottomless stupidity.
