Why Did Biden Just Send Top U.S. Officials to Meet With the Taliban?<\/a><\/p>\n

In a shocking development Saturday afternoon, it was first reported by\u00a0CNN<\/a> that top officials within the Biden administration met with top Taliban leaders in Doha, Qatar, marking the first meeting with the terrorist group since al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was vaporized by a U.S. drone strike in July, under Taliban care and comfort.<\/p>\n

CNN noted:<\/p>\n

The administration sent the CIA\u2019s deputy director and the top State Department official responsible for Afghanistan to the Qatari capital of Doha for the talks with the Taliban delegation which included their head of intelligence, Abdul Haq Wasiq.<\/p>\n

The presence of CIA Deputy Director David Cohen and the Taliban\u2019s Wasiq at the meeting on Saturday indicates an emphasis on counterterrorism. The White House last month called cooperation with the Taliban on counterterrorism \u201ca work in progress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cohen was accompanied by the State Department\u2019s Special Representative for Afghanistan, Tom West, who has often led engagement with the Taliban since the US withdrawal last year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The goal of the meeting is still unclear, but it comes in the wake of recent news regarding a giant pile of cash \u2014 $3.5 billion \u2014 that Taliban leaders in Afghanistan would love to get their hands on. The money was frozen after the Taliban took over Afghanistan following President Joe Biden\u2019s disastrous, failed withdrawal of U.S. troops, allowing terrorist masterminds back to their sandy playground.<\/p>\n

The meeting also comes just weeks after Taliban terrorists celebrated\u00a0the first anniversary<\/a>\u00a0of Biden\u2019s botched pullout by parading some of the billions in top-tier U.S. military equipment left behind by Biden and Pentagon brass.<\/p>\n
