Taliban Says U.S. Must Meet August 31 Withdrawal Deadline: 'No Extensions'

[NATIONALREVIEW] The Taliban
...Arabic for students...
on Tuesday eliminated any ambiguity surrounding the United States’ withdrawal deadline, saying the American military must be out of Afghanistan by the Biden crime family administration
...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know...
’s August 31 departure date.

Amid rumors that President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S., who gives the geriatric a bad name. He blames Afghans for losing Afghanistan.......
is deliberating pushing out the expiration date to evacuate the thousands of American nationals and refugees still stuck in Afghanistan’s interior, a Taliban front man announced that "no extensions" will be granted, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named confirmed.

At a presser Tuesday, Taliban representative Zabihullah Mujahid said it would be a "violation" of the Trump-era arrangement to allow foreign nationals to exit the country beyond August 31st.

"We want them to evacuate all foreign nationals by the 31st of August and we are not in favor of allowing Afghans to leave," he said, according to a translation.

As the window closes, the Taliban has warned the U.S. could face "consequences" for reneging on its pledge to leave by month’s end. Taliban front man Suhail Shaheen said in an interview aired Monday that western forces would be crossing a "red line" if they remain in the country through September.

The military has reportedly requested that the White House decide by Tuesday whether it will postpone the departure date so troops can prepare for the expedited pull-out of nearly 6,000 U.S. troops supporting the evacuations.

In a moment of bipartisanship, Republicans and Democrats have rallied together to ramp up the rescue missions of American citizens and Afghan allies who served alongside the U.S. in the two-decade counter-terrorism operation in Afghanistan. According to a CBS News/YouGov poll released Sunday, 81 percent of Americans support bringing Afghans who helped the U.S. military to the United States for sanctuary.

#3  Biden, Harris are allowing all of this for some sinister reason. And it is definitely not pro-American but it is something that they intend to profit from.
