I'm sure they're also handing out gold on the street and setting up their own flights for people who want out.

Why would we go back? We achieved our objective of eliminating bin laden. Anything else was merely coincidental. It doesn't matter to the US which government is in power as long as they don't directly support an attack on the US.


The country is going to need to be rebuilt and improved on and China probably gonna help them out

Honestly, maybe just give them a shot and see how they rule. I get the feeling that they are just relieved it's all over, they don't care to be actual bad guys. They genuinely seem like all they wanted was for people to stop invading their country. Now that they have the country, they wanna stay a country and it looks like they are willing to compromise.

Good luck with that. We should check back in six months.

They didn't do that. They went in with guns and either bribed or killed ppl so they can take power. People like that should never be allies with America.

They'd at least have some common ground, no?

Taliban spokesman interview with British Sky News

The reporter asks what is the reason why he believes they were able to take over Afghanistan so easily. He responds that its because the former government was corrupt and that they have the support of the people. And once that support was shown they were able to take district after district with not much resistance because they had the peoples support

The spokesman also says that terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda will not be allowed to take haven in Afghanistan

The reporter also asks if they are receiving any support from other nations such as Russia or China. He responds they are not receiving any support economically but are having good relations with them politically.

Afghanistan is not even a country. Never has been, and never will be.

Every tribe/community is its own group with its own ideas. There is no national identity.

About the only part Im willing to believe is the not harboring terrorist group parts. And that just cause doing that is what caused us to go into Afghanistan in the first place. Theres reasons for them to think other countries might retaliate over that, but little incentive for them to keep their word for anything else.

To be fair, while they did say women would be allowed to continue working, they also said they had to wear the approved types of clothing. So while that is an example of theocratic shitheaddery, it isnt an example of lying.

They basically said the words womens rights with a shit eating grin and then burst into laughter when the cameras were off. They dont believe women should have rights because they dont see women as anything more than the property of men

A council of Islamic scholars will decide on the future role of women in Afghanistan, including what they will wear and whether they will be allowed to work and study, a Taliban leader has said.

Waheedullah Hashimi told Reuters that the extremist groups ulema (theological scholars) will decide whether or not women must have their faces covered in public and if they will have access to employment and education.

His remarks seemingly contradict spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahids assurance at a news conference shortly after the Talibans takeover of Kabul that women can work and study and will be very active in society.

There are also already reports of women being prevented from working in Afghanistan.
TOLO News journalist Miraqa Popal alleged on Twitter that RTA Pashto broadcaster Shabnam Dawran was told to go home by the Taliban after arriving at work because the regime has changed.
