Joe begging the Taliban for help.

U.S. Asks Taliban to Spare Its Embassy in Coming Fight for Kabul.

Can you believe this is happening? We are now begging the Taliban to not attack our embassy? And the White House is willing to recognize these folks as a legitimate government. This from the NY Times.

The demand seeks to stave off an evacuation of the embassy by dangling aid to future Afghan governments — even one that includes the Taliban. 

American diplomats are now trying to determine how soon they may need to fully evacuate the embassy should the Taliban prove to be more bent on destruction than a détente.

In closing,  Remember when Joe said the Afganastan army was 300,00 strong?
