Biden administration meetings with the Taliban don’t “mean any kind of indication of recognition or any kind of indication of normalization or legitimacy of the Taliban,” insisted State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel.
Yet the meeting will inevitably suggest such legitimacy, and whatever the Americans give, they will get nothing in return. How much respect will the Taliban really have for the Biden’s female representative, Special Envoy for Afghan Women, Girls, and Human Rights Rina Amiri?
Given the Biden administration’s reputation as a group of failed negotiators and global jesters, chances are that the Taliban’s only interest is in attempting to boost its international standing, with the ongoing goal of squeezing more money out of the Biden administration on “humanitarian” grounds. This money will be used to further strengthen the abusive regime.
Let’s not forget the billions of dollars worth of state-of-the-art military equipment that the Biden administration left behind. Also, the administration’s most recent attempts to renew the Iran deal are a good indicator of the Biden administration mindset, which so often seems to involve enriching America’s enemies.
“US officials to meet Taliban representatives in Qatar this week,” Al Arabiya, July 26, 2023:
US officials will meet Taliban representatives and “technocratic professionals” from key Afghan ministries during a visit to Doha this week, the State Department said on Wednesday, adding they will discuss security, narcotics and women’s rights.
Special Representative for Afghanistan Thomas West and Special Envoy for Afghan Women, Girls, and Human Rights Rina Amiri will travel to Astana, Kazakhstan, and Doha, Qatar, from July 26 to July 31 and meet the Taliban delegation, the State Department said in a statement.
The officials will discuss critical interests in Afghanistan such as “humanitarian support for the people of Afghanistan, economic stabilization, fair and dignified treatment of all Afghans, including women and girls, security issues, and efforts to counter narcotics production and trafficking,” the statement added.
West and Amiri will also meet with civil society members working on issues of women’s economic empowerment in Afghanistan and Kazakhstan.
The meetings do not “mean any kind of indication of recognition or any kind of indication of normalization or legitimacy of the Taliban,” said State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel when asked about the visit, reiterating US concerns about human rights abuses and the marginalization of women and girls in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan….

The left wants to legitimate crime and criminalize innocent citizens.

It should really be of no surprise at all that offices of the Biden Administrations are very willing to meet with enemy of America, meaning the Taliban.
After all, Joe Biden had ordered the US pullout from Afghanistan that awful action of his that reveals the horrendous folly of his judgement in many wrong and tragic ways. As in, for example allowing the Taliban enemy to have all the state of the art high quality US military equipment.
After all the Americans who died and the many others who had been terrible wounded and over a trillion dollars of wasted American taxpayers money invested in that awful mayhem is also awful.
Another horrible consequence of Biden’s treachery in Afghanistan are all those unvetted Afghan /Muslims now spreading across the United States. If any Americans, in any way are harmed by some those unvetted Afghan “refugees” who might be either criminals or violent jihadists then Biden will have their innocent blood on his wicked hands.
Since the end of August and because of that despicable villain Joe Biden, has betrayed and abandoned many Americans and left them to in Afghanistan to be brutally murdered by the Taliban.
Walter Sieruk says
It figures that traitor Joe would have the officials of his administration meet with the Taliban.
That horrible treacherous Joe Biden must really likes America’s enemy, the Taliban, since he gave away Afghanistan to them. Biden truly is a villainous traitor of the most horrendous sort.
On the night Television program Sean Hannity 8/17/21 on Fox News ,the former United States President Donald Trump was interviewed by Hannity and Mr. Trump had spoken about this Biden withdraw from Afghanistan and Trump ,truthfully declared that “Nobody had ever handled a withdrawal worse than Joe Biden.”
He further stated that “This is the greatest embarrassment in the history of this country” and Trump then mentioned how the other countries are watching all this and that “China is laughing at us.” because “China does not respect us anymore.”
It’s all very obvious that this awful lack of respect of all the fault of that terrible man , Joe Biden.
Donald Trump had also well said “What is now happening in Afghanistan is unbelievable”
Walter Sieruk says
The Taliban victory is the outcome of horrible man, the calamities of Joe Biden in Office seems to have no end or limit. As now since Biden is having is offices meet with the enemy, the Taliban.
Back is 2021 Biden give victory to the Taliban is very galvanizing Muslim terrorists, including those jihadists of ISIS, because of Biden because of his arrogant conceit refused to heed the wisdom the US generals who advised of him for a planned gradual withdrawal of the Americans military forces from Afghanistan..
Likewise, this this triumph of the Taliban in Afghanistan may, indeed, serve as catalyzed for different Islamic terrorist organizations further strive to fulfill their goal for the violent jihad for the cause of Islam.
So it’s actually the fault of that President pretender Joe Biden that the increase of the deathly violence of Islamic terrorism in the world because of the awful judgement and terrible folly of Biden concerning Afghanistan that zeal will rise among the jihadists with their Islamic terror entities.
This proves that this bogus president now sitting in the Oval Office of the White House masquerading as a genuine Chief Executive of the USA is a very dangerous and wicked man.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden had aided and helped America’s enemy, the vicious and murderous Taliban gain total and complete power in Afghanistan. Biden really is a treasonous villain.
Now Biden wants to further uphold and support the Taliban ,who are the enemy of America and the people of Afghanistan by sending those hostile vicious oppressive Sharia based tyranny much money under the guise of “humanitarian aid.” Only the most naïve and gullible person would actually believe the any of the “aid” to go poor poverty stricken Afghans.
For the thriving Taliban will take what they want for themselves and the rest of “aid” money to go into further strengthening their Islamic terror regime.
In addition, to say: “That despicable and horrible Joe Biden created a horrendous catastrophe in Afghanistan and abandoned many Americans in that dangerous and hostile land” Is to put it mildly.
Biden should have to be called into account for that calamity that he is responsible for that disaster in Afghanistan and how he further supports the Taliban.

More of our money down the drain.

May I suggest this approach to the Biden administration officials when they meet with Taliban representatives:
