Chris Wallace Confronts Pompeo: Do You Regret Giving Taliban ‘Legitimacy’?

[Guno צְבִי]

Amid the widespread criticism that’s been thrown at the Biden administration over the collapse of Afghanistan following the withdrawal of American troops, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace kept it fair and balanced on Sunday morning when he confronted former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo over his own record of legitimizing and emboldening the Taliban.


Wallace, however, shot back, pointing out that a number of critics have said that Trump cutting a deal with the Taliban without the Afghan government even being involved was “hugely demoralizing” and led to the current chaos. (Notably, just weeks before the 2020 election, the Taliban endorsed Trump for president in the hopes he would “wind up U.S. military presence in Afghanistan.”)

Didn't ISIS endorse Trump a few years earlier? I see a pattern emerging.

Well, Pompeo may have given them legitimacy, but Biden gave them Afghanistan...

The Afghans gave their country to the Taliban, not Biden, Trump or Pompeo. We tried to help them but they weren't ready for it.

Biden pulled out and like the last block pulled in a Jenga game, the whole thing came crashing down. It was Biden's withdrawal that started the end.

What do you suggest? Make Afghanistan the 51st State?

It's one thing to prop up a corrupt regime against the fucking communists backed by the PRC and USSR, but what is the compelling US interest here? What, in Afghanistan, is worth American blood and treasure?
