    The Great Disconnect
    State Department spokesperson Ned Price Monday urged Afghanistan's new leaders to form an inclusive government that had women in it. Citing a United Nations Security Council statement ,he called for "an immediate cessation of all hostilities and the establishment, through inclusive negotiations, of a new government that is united, inclusive and representative – including with the full, equal and meaningful participation of women."
    Price said that the U.S. government would recognize a new government of Afghanistan so long as that government "upholds rights, doesn't harbor terrorists, and protects the rights of women and girls."

    Taliban spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid said "We have defeated a great power"


    Quid yesterday :
    "The idea that somehow, there's a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing—I don't know how that happens."

    So does he really think that the leaders of the Taliban are going to look at each other and say, "Gosh. We weren't going to include women in the government, but since the leader of the Great Whore has encouraged us to do so, let's let a few ladies in. Everyone agree?" One thing's for sure. We have a Muslim woman in our Congress that they are more than welcome to take and use as female leader #1.

    Should we take your non-response as being a "no" answer?

    here is the nightmare scenario ..

    Taliban arranges a massive "civilian " demonstration at the gates of the Kabul airport on Sept 11 that turns into a riot .

    US soldiers are videoed shooting at Afghan " civilians " on the 20th Anniversary of 9-11 -01 .

    speaking of a great disconnect . Two morons in the House (one Dem one Repub so it is bipartisan moronary ) travelled to Kabul airport yesterday in the midst of a chaos that resembles combined the fall of Saigon ;and Tahrir Square during the 2013 Egyptian protests .They made a scathing report about the chaos at the airport . Well duh !.
    2 Members of Congress Flew Directly Into Kabul Amid Evacuation (businessinsider.com)

    American transport planes are shooting off flares as they take off as heat seaking missile decoys because of how dangerous it is for fly in and out . So how did these brain dead idiots think putting themselves in harms way was going to help ?

    Not only that ;there were even more of these a$$holes who were planning similar junkets . Madam Mim had to beg them to stop.

    The Army should've packed their butt into a C-17 with 600 others who wanted to leave Kabul ;and let them spend a day in one of those 107degree un-air conditioned hangers in Doha Qatar where we are dropping off refugees .
