Here's what I don't get when Democrats do crap like this: Obama and Iran, and now Biden and the Taliban. Do they think these people are going to suddenly become nice guys embracing Western civilization? There is absolutely NO foresight on the dems' part when they do stupid, counterproductive crap like this.

UPDATED 10:01 AM PT – Sunday, September 12, 2021Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta warned the Taliban was likely to harbor foreign terrorists and advised the Intelligence community to be on guard. In an interview on Saturday, the former CIA chief said the same Taliban, which took over Afghanistan, was in control on September 11, 20 years ago.
Panetta pointed out some of the leaders today were leaders then and noted they have already appointed a global terrorist as their interior minister. He said there was no question al-Qaeda would find safe haven in Afghanistan and ISIS would continue to develop.
He went on to explain, “I think it’s going to be very important for the military and for our Intelligence to be able to keep track of how these terrorists develop, and to be able to identify potential targets if we have to conduct counterterrorism operations against those who threaten our country.”
Panetta went on to commend the men and women in uniform for their service in the past 20 years and said they protected the country from seeing another terrorist attack during that time.
