WATCH: Blinken Upset New Taliban Government Includes Wanted Terrorists, No Women

posted by Hannity Staff - 9.09.21

Secretary of State Antony Blinken addressed the American public this week after the Taliban released the names of Afghanistan’s new rulers, lamenting the list is full of wanted terrorists and includes no women.

“Yesterday, the Taliban named an interim government. We’re assessing the announcement. Despite professing a new government would be inclusive, the announced list of names exist exclusively of individuals who are members of the Taliban or their close associates, and no women,” said Blinken.

“We understand the Taliban has presented this as a caretaker cabinet, we will judge them by their actions,” he added.

“As of now, the Taliban are not permitting the charter flights to depart. They claim some passengers do not have the required documentation,” stated the Secretary of State. “There are limits to what we can do without personnel on the ground.”

“We are working to do everything within our power to support those flights and to get them off the ground,” he concluded.

“Among the leaders announced Tuesday was the pick for acting interior minister, Sirajuddin Haqqani, who is currently wanted by the FBI in connection with a 2008 attack on a Kabul hotel that left six people, including a U.S. citizen, dead,” reports The Hill.

“The FBI had offered a $5 million reward for information leading to Haqqani’s arrest but increased the reward to $10 million later Tuesday. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said that the government would be led by Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, with group co-founder Abdul Ghani Baradar serving as the interim government’s deputy leader,” adds the outlet.

??????: Biden Launches Incoherent 3-Minute Rant Over Whether Americans Can Get Out of Afghanistan

posted by Hannity Staff - 8.21.21

President Biden held a disastrous press briefing Friday when he finally took answers from the media; launching into a three-minute rant about whether Americans can safely reach the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan.

“You said there’s no circumstances where American citizens cannot get to the airport. That doesn’t square with the reporting on the ground. Are you saying any American who wants to get to the airport can get there?” asked one reporter.

“I thought the question was, how can they get through the airport, outside the airport, the answer is, to the best of our knowledge, the Taliban checkpoints, they are letting through, people […] That’s why we had to, I guess yesterday, or the day before? We went over the wall, and brought in, how many?” said the Commander-in-Chief.

“My guess is, no matter what, under what circumstances, we, anyone, there’s not a whole lot of Afghanis, there’s a whole lot of Afghanis who just as soon come to America,” he concluded.

A report from Reuters highlights the scope of the crisis unfolding in Afghanistan as the agency claims the Taliban now control 2,000 American-made vehicles and between 30 and 40 aircraft.

“U.S. officials tell Reuters that the current intelligence indicates that the Taliban control at least 2,000 U.S.-made armored vehicles, between 30 and 40 aircraft and an untold number of small arms,” writes a reporter from the global news agency.

“Joe Biden creates the Taliban Army and Air Force,” posted former Trump official Richard Grenell on Twitter.
