UPDATED 7:12 PM PT – Friday, August 6, 2021The White House has condemned the Taliban’s recent violent attacks, urging the terrorist group to shift its priorities to ongoing peace negotiations with the Afghan government. During a press briefing on Friday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki denounced the Taliban’s assassination of an Afghanistan government officials and a series of bombings this week. Psaki added the Biden administration is closely monitoring the Taliban’s efforts.
“Additionally, there are credible reports that you’ve touched on, atrocities and retaliation against civilians in other Taliban controlled areas, which of course we are closely tracking and concerned about,” said Psaki. “If the Taliban claims to want international legitimacy, these actions are not going to get them the legitimacy they seek.”
The organization isn’t just attacking people, but also conquering land at an alarming rate. On Friday, the Taliban appeared to have used offensive military tactics to take control of the city of Zaranj, it’s first provincial capital. However, the Afghan government suggested the city had not quite fallen yet.

In the meantime, the Taliban has continued to ramp up its attacks as the U.S. withdrawals troops from the war-torn country with the goal of exiting the Middle East by the end of August. When asked during the briefing whether the surge in Taliban attacks alters the Biden administration’s stance on leaving Afghanistan, Psaki suggested it’s not America’s responsibility to risk American lives to extend an unbeatable 20-year war.

What level of stupid must one attain to be part of the Biden Administration? Psaki works daily on "high score".

So violence didn't get Yassir Arafat and the PLO legitimacy? Not to mention they gave the murdering POS the Nobel Peace Prize. The left needs to quit reading its own versions of history and try some documented fact.
