Biden State Department Falsely Denies Taliban, Terrorist Haqqani Network Ties
2021-08-29
...which Breitbart proceeds to lay out in extensive detail.
[Breitbart] The Biden State Department made the astounding claim Friday that the Taliban and its brother organization, the Haqqani Network, are “separate entities.”

In truth, the two are tightly linked, and many of the top Haqqani leaders – including self-described “Kabul chief of security” Khalil Ur-Rahman Haqqani – are also high-ranking Taliban officials.

Terrorism experts were thunderstruck by the State Department’s blatantly false assertion, which it appears to have made to deflect public outrage over the Biden administration entrusting the safety of Americans still trapped in Afghanistan to a U.S.- and U.N.-designated terrorist organization.

Obviously hasn't been to Mexico.

#1  Biden State Department......

Anything emanating from that nest of spurious deviants should be viewed with suspicion, doubt, and contempt.

Our Washington betrayers have attempted to paint the murderous Haqqani network as boys choir for decades.
