The Biden-Harris regime’s indecisiveness and failure to effectively wield the might and logistical prowess of the US Military is on the verge of transforming one of President Trump’s crowing diplomatic achievements into a full-blown dumpster fire.
According to Breitbart,
“In remarks on Wednesday, Biden announced that all U.S. troops would leave Afghanistan by September 11, 2021, the 20th anniversary of the al-Qaeda attacks on the American homeland that initially prompted President George W. Bush to invade the country. The Taliban has close ties to al-Qaeda and American intelligence officials believed al-Qaeda head Osama bin Laden may be hiding in Afghanistan at the time; U.S. forces ultimately found him in neighboring Pakistan.”
A Deliberately lit Dumpster Fire
This is no accident, the Biden-Harris regime’s puppet masters: the Democratic-Socialist progressives in Congress had already sabotaged any possibility of a withdrawal that would meet the Doha agreement’s May 1st deadline back in January.
WYMT explained that, “Under the National Defense Authorization Act passed by Congress two weeks ago, the Pentagon was explicitly forbidden to use money from this year’s or last year’s budget on reducing the number of troops below 4,000 — or below the number that was in the country the day the bill was finalized.”
Biden reportedly sought to seek a “six-month extension” on the withdrawal, the Taliban however, has refused to even consider it… they are angry.
The Taliban released a statement via Afghanistan’s TOLO News,
“This decision is a clear violation of the Doha Agreement and non-compliance with its commitments,” the Taliban said in a statement on Thursday. “As this agreement was signed in the presence of United Nations and representatives of numerous world countries and organizations, and is currently being breached by America, it is imperative that all countries and organizations that were witnesses to the signing of this agreement exert pressure on America to implement its commitments and withdraw all forces from Afghanistan by the specified date.”
“Now as the agreement is being breached by America, it in principle opens the way for the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate to take every necessary countermeasure, hence the American side will be held responsible for all future consequences, and not the Islamic Emirate,”
“Until all foreign forces completely withdraw from our homeland, the Islamic Emirate will not participate in any conference that shall make decisions about Afghanistan,” tweeted Mohammad Naeem, a spokesman for the Taliban in Doha.
Biden seems to be looking for a casus belli or cause for war to erupt and scuttle any withdrawal as he concluded his remarks by threatening the Taliban, “The Taliban should know, if they attack us as we drawdown, we will defend ourselves and our partners with all the tools at our disposal,”
Attacks in Afghanistan Already On The Rise
Afghani President Ashraf Ghani is walking a very dangerous path between the enraged Taliban who feel they’ve been deceived, the rest of the Afghani people who are sick of decades of war and the hapless Biden-Harris regime that is putting him on the firing line.
Tonight, I had a call with President Biden in which we discussed the U.S. decision to withdraw its forces from Afghanistan by early September. The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan respects the U.S. decision and we will work with our U.S. partners to ensure a smooth transition.

Afghanistan’s proud security and defense forces are fully capable of defending its people and country, which they have been doing all along, and for which the Afghan nation will forever remain grateful.

Breitbart reported that, “The Taliban has already escalated attacks on Afghan army forces, killing at least three soldiers on Tuesday in the province of Badakhshan. Another three provinces reported attacks on Wednesday night: Ghor, Badghis, and Zabul. According to the Khaama news agency of Afghanistan, the Badghis attack killed seven police officers, one security force member was killed in Ghor, and the Zabul attack is ongoing, making total casualty counts difficult to estimate.”
If the increased attacks against the Afghan security forces are any indication an attack against US Forces during the withdrawal seem likely. It would seem that Minnesota, Chicago and Portland are not the only places with dumpster fires burning this week.
