But, but, Biden asked the Taliban to spare the U.S. Embassy! Surely they will honor his request, right? After all, he doesn’t write any mean tweets!
“Mass Afghan government surrenders as Taliban fighters overrun three key cities in sweeping territorial gains,” by Susannah George, John Hudson, Rachel Pannett and Ezzatullah Mehrdad, Washington Post, August 13, 2021:
…Now all eyes are on Kabul, as the militants gradually close in on the capital. Its advances are heightening concern that Afghanistan’s government will largely collapse, leaving the city an island surrounded by Taliban-controlled territory. A new U.S. intelligence assessment has indicated Kabul could be overrun within 30 to 90 days.
American officials here raced on Friday to prepare for a Taliban takeover. Inside the U.S. Embassy, diplomats began destroying classified documents and equipment on orders from embassy leadership. An internal memo, obtained by The Washington Post, implored staff to destroy sensitive materials using incinerators, disintegrators and “burn bins” present in the compound. The directive also called for the destruction of “embassy or agency logos, American flags, or items which could be misused in propaganda efforts.”…

By international law, our embassy isn’t under the jurisdiction of its host country. If the embassy is not safe then how can we even maintain diplomatic relations with Afghanistan? All Americans must leave Afghanistan.
Infidel says
That’s obvious to anyone w/ half a brain, which would exclude anyone in the State Department. Like I’ve said, we should put our embassy in Tajikistan in charge of covering Afghanistan and Pakistan as well, and shut down our embassies in both Kabul and Islamabad
mortimer says
The weak, crumbling puppet that the unelected power-brokers have propped up in the White House intimidates no one. They don’t want to rock the Red-Green Axis of Evil.

Too little, too late…as usual.
Crusades Were Right says
Nothing says “we have confidence in the Afghan government” like a document bonfire at your Kabul embassy! lol
Rarely says
There’s an Afghan government?
commonsense says
Rarely:
Your comment, sadly and paradoxically, is hilarious.
Infidel says
Yeah. It’s known as ‘Da Afġānistān Islāmī Amārāt’ or the ‘Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
Otherwise known as the Taliban
Walter Sieruk says
The many despicable heinous vile evils committed by the Muslims who make up the Taliban have no limits to their despicable hideous cruel Islamic behavior.
Walter Sieruk says
The thieving Taliban are using US military trucks and other American equipment they has stolen for furthering their brutal cruel harsh Islamic oppression of Sharia law on the people of Afghanistan who trapped and force to exist in the land that they have taken over.
This wasn’t what so many American soldiers had died and many are maimed for life for.
This is worse the sad, terrible tragic. It all comes down to fault of and blame of that death cult of a religion which is Islam.

Walter, I’m afraid it was never possible for us to civilize Afghanistan–it is statistically 100% Muslim.
Walter Sieruk says
From all the new information gathered sad and reality is that the Taliban quickly reconquering Afghanistan, The fact that the jihadists of the Taliban base their violent and deadly beliefs behavior entirely on the Qu ‘ran.
This does lead to an important question: “Is the Qu ‘ran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Qu ‘ran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?”
The jihadists, as those of the Taliban , use many verses from the Qu ‘ran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. There, the answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]?
The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.”
Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Qu ‘ran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran.
Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.”
In addition , in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.”
In conclusion, the Qu ‘ran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.

Tabari says that this scribe returned to Islam the day that the Muslims conquered Mecca (convenient, that). Later Uthman appointed Abdallah governor of Egypt. Looks like he got over his issues with the falsity of Islam once the booty started rolling in.
Walter Sieruk says
Already news has gotten out that Taliban are so viciously misogynist that they been hunting down girls and women, like animals, and raping them.
It also came out that the Taliban have even chosen specific women to hunt down and kill for “sport.”
No wonder those Taliban monsters want the journalists out of Afghanistan.
For the Taliban are the epitome and personification of total, undeluded Islamic evil.
Walter Sieruk says
The brutal cruel and murderous Taliban will rule all the land that they reconquer in Afghanistan by the tyranny of Sharia law which gives females, both girls and women, very little to no basic human rights at all.
Therefore about Sharia law, it should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia law is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started.
Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.
In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam.
Therefore Islam with its Sharia law are a hoax.

Afghanistan: US Embassy in Kabul starts destroying documents in anticipation of Taliban takeover
…………….
This is tacit acknowledgement that these pious Muslims are not going to recognize the sovereignty of the US Embassy. Gee–doesn’t this sound oddly familiar–as in Tehran and Benghazi? Not to mention the bombings of US embassies in Africa. You might almost think that Islam doesn’t respect diplomacy…
Infidel says
In 1996, the Taliban broke into the UN compound, where ex President Najibullah had taken refuge, took him out and lynched him. So we already know what to expect if the embassy ain’t fully evacuated
gravenimage says
Absolutely, Infidel.
Keith O says
When, not if, the Taliban take over the embassy, I believe the US troops should leave a farewell present for the Taliban.
200-300kg of explosives hidden through the building ought to do it. Have it on a command detonator so that the maximum number of fighters can be present to enjoy the fireworks.
Could be done as a final F*#K you to these vermin.

“U.S. Embassy in Kabul will be mostly evacuated within next 36 hours”
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-embassy-kabul-evacuated-within-36-hours/
Infidel says
What do they mean by ‘mostly’? Who do they plan to leave behind – just ground support staff members who are local workers? Or will it be Benghazi 2.0?
Vladimir says
I said that it would come to this, just prior to the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, and I thought much worse will come after Kabul falls after American evacuation. Back then I was ridiculed, America would do so much better after we secured things than the Soviets or the British did.
America lost not because Islam is so very wonderful and true and good, but because our rotten, decadent, and atheistic civilization renders the very concept of victory in wars an alien belief to our Elites. They don’t understand the Taliban or why they fight, and they have contempt for the American soldier who fights against them, having contempt because in the eyes of the liberal Western Elites, much of the Soldiers and Police and taxpayers in general are almost like ”Taliban” to them as well… With their ”guns and Bibles and superstitions” they cling to.
This defeat is also going to result in a tidal wave of Jihadi attacks and recruitment and new outrages and adventurism on their part, it’s going to get much much worse from here on out. We’ve seen nothing yet.
