US Asking Taliban to Spare American Embassy During Siege on Kabul to Maintain ‘Robust Diplomatic Engagement’

Biden administration officials are reportedly asking the Taliban to overlook the American embassy in Kabul when the terrorist group invades the city to topple the country’s government and reassert the supreme rule of Sharia law.

The news that officials were asking the terrorist organization to abstain from attacking the embassy came from two unnamed sources who spoke with The New York Times on Thursday. The State Department added in a statement the same day, “We are withdrawing our forces from Afghanistan, but we are not withdrawing from Afghanistan. Although U.S. troops will depart, the United States will maintain our robust diplomatic engagement with Afghanistan.”

In the meantime, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Thursday afternoon that the U.S. would send 3,000 military personnel to Afghanistan to assist in evacuating the Kabul embassy, with the exception of a “core diplomatic presence.”

1. No problem. They'll get right on that.

2. Depends if they've evolved in their 20 years in exile.

The negotiations in the UAE would suggest that they have learned to at least pretend to be reasonable.
