White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that it was not the Biden administration's intention to arm the Taliban with billions of dollars in military equipment originally given to the Afghan government but claimed that the United States is taking steps to "reduce the amount of equipment" in the Taliban's possession before completing the troop withdrawal at the end of the month. © Provided by Washington Examiner Psaki, fielding questions at Monday's White House press briefing, declined to "get into details" of how specifically U.S. forces are carrying out the equipment destruction or recovery but assured reporters "that is part of their effort."

WHITE HOUSE CHIDES REPUBLICAN CALLS FOR BIDEN RESIGNATION AS TROOPS REMAIN IN HARM'S WAY
Rep. Jim Banks, an Indiana lawmaker who chairs the Republican Study Committee and served in Afghanistan, estimated the value of what was left behind at $85 billion.
The top White House spokeswoman outlined a series of choices the U.S. made that led to Taliban forces obtaining American-supplied equipment.
"We had to make an assessment several weeks ago about whether we provide materials to the Afghan National Security Forces so that they could fight the fight. Obviously, they decided not to fight, and we made the decision to provide them with that equipment and the material," she continued. "We have not assessed that any group on the ground, whether it's ISIS-K or the Taliban, has the ability to attack the United States."
Psaki added, "There's a difference between the threat that is posed to U.S. men and women serving or people who are gathering outside of the gates in Kabul and whether these individuals can attack the United States."
"Our objective was not to leave them with any equipment, but that is not always an option when you are looking to retrograde and move out of a war zone," she concluded. "We are not going to do anything that's going to allow terrorists to grow or prosper in Afghanistan or any terrorist organization. That continues to be the president's commitment, and his order to his U.S. military over the past several days and the actions that CENTCOM have announced show that he's going to deliver on that promise."

Once again the Biden Administration attempts to defend the indefensible.


and once again they fail miserably


What's also laughable are the claims that we have "leverage" financially over the Taliban after gifting them BILLIONS in military hardware. Does ANYBODY believe this garbage?

[royamcr]

blah blah blah blah. Trump said he removed billions of equipment, guess he lied.

This equipment if used long wont last. Military hardware is hell to work on. Most mating parts don't use physical gaskets so they don't have to stockpile all those parts. They use this hard to get liquid gasket maker.

Agreed -ta - the more they post their nonsense - and try to defend their senile fiden - the deeper their hole gets.
The foolish little peoples of teh indoctrinated marxist DPST party never learn - it is forbidden by their nomenklatura


So sad - and yet laughable how they cannot shake off their indoctrination/dedication into marxist control bymass murderer dictators
And how they ignore facts, truth, integrity, and honor - in favor of the propaganda of their Xinn and their leader - Comrade Xi!blah blah blah blah. Trump




The most telling: they do it to themselves Quote 'r' - "blah blah blah blah. Trump"
Still blaming Trump for everything - and denying any responsibility for their own despotic, criminal actions.

such pathetic, craven , depraved and desperate little peoples.
SAD - SMH
