“Pompeo Says Trump Warned Taliban That US Would Attack Militants’ Villages if They Harmed Americans
Former Trump secretary of state Mike Pompeo has expressed disappointment with the Biden administration over its chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, and criticised the White House’s reported pleading with the Taliban* not to attack the US Embassy if they take Kabul.
Asked how the Trump administration would have proceeded with the withdrawal, Pompeo stressed that the administration had “conditions attached to how we were thinking about this withdrawal,” and that he personally was “part of those negotiations.”
“I was also in the room when President Trump made very clear to Mullah Baradar, the senior Taliban negotiator, that if ya threaten an American, if you scared an American, certainly if you hurt an American, that we would bring all American power to bear to make sure that we went to your village, to your house. We were very clear about the things that we were prepared to do to protect American lives,” the former diplomat, who also previously served as Trump’s CIA chief, said.” Pompeo Says Trump Warned Taliban That US Would Attack Militants’ Villages if They Harmed Americans
Which party is lookin’ out for America and Americans?
It’s crystal clear.
Pompeo is a lying weasel. How was he going to do that when he was withdrawing troops?
