On the day that the Biden administration completed the disastrous U.S. pullout from Afghanistan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared that the Taliban had pledged to bar terrorist groups from using the war torn nation as a base.
Now he admits that they lied.
Following the announcement Monday that the U.S. had killed al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in a drone strike in Kabul, Blinken confessed that the Taliban “grossly violated the Doha Agreement and repeated assurances to the world that they would not allow Afghan territory to be used by terrorists to threaten the security of other countries.”
It was an about-face from just under a year ago, when on August 30, 2021,
And this Administration believed them? It sure would be nice to have adults in charge again..

No Stored High In Transit, Blinken. You actually believed they would comply with the Doha Agreement. What a fool thou must be, Blinken. And you believe the Mullahs in Iran as well. OMG, we are being lead by simpletons and boobs.

Has anyone read the Doha Agreement. It's like something put together by a high school conflict resolution class. The Agreement is wide open to interpretation. What does it exactly mean to "threaten the security" of other countries? Don't look to the Agreement to either define nor outline the expected/obligated response by "the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban." (The UN still recognizes The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, which collapsed as the US was departing.) Wait for the Taliban's reaction if/when AQ confirms the death of al-Zawahiri. What gave the US the right...? This is one giant cluster waiting to get even bigger.

How is it that we mere amateurs could have predicted this with little thought whatsoever but the idiots in Washington couldn’t figure this out?
Those dirty layabouts knew! And they didn’t bloody care! To hell with the lot of them!!!

Gasp!!!! What???? the Taliban LIED about barring other Muslim terrorist groups? Now, why on earth would they do that? They are all brothers in jihad against the evil nonbelievers in the west. That's like cocaine and heroin dealers promising to ban fentanyl dealers in the hood.

With a few years of intensive remedial training, I think that Blinken could possibly qualify as an idiot.

Har har hardy har har!!! At least we know the Taliban and Blinken have one defining thing in common.
Taliban is Consistently Evil and Blinken is Consistently Stupid. Both are Consistent with what they do.

I have said this before on L-Dot but it's worth repeating. Antony Blinken is the kind of fop LBJ had in mind when he said of Adlai Stevenson, "He has to sit down to take a p**s."

Who would have ever believed that such an outstanding organization such as the Afghan Taliban would ever lie?

Nothing new here. Demonrats will believe any lie so long as it helps their rabid agenda.

Now let’s see if I understand this correctly. Antony Blinken got a terrorist organization agreement not support terrorist activity, and believed them.
Could it be that he is not as smart as Biden and now, a year later, acknowledging they lied. Perhaps this explains the sorry state of US diplomacy.
