On Sept. 7, 2024, CBS News reported on statements by a national security spokesman for Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign about former President Donald Trump’s agreement with the Taliban regarding troop withdrawals and President Joe Biden and Harris’ subsequent withdrawal from Afghanistan: The campaign argues that Trump’s deal created a ‘virtually impossible’ deadline and left “the Biden-Harris administration with zero plans for an orderly withdrawal — only a dangerous, costly mess.” “Trump shamelessly attacks the vice president because he hopes he can trick the country into forgetting that his own actions put troops in harm’s way,” Harris campaign national security spokesperson Morgan Finkelstein told CBS News.
He cut a bad deal with the very same people who violently took over Afghanistan and led to the collapse of the Afghan government.” Apparently unmentioned by the Harris campaign to CBS News, and unreported in CBS’s article is that the agreement between the U.S. and the Taliban was not a Treaty ratified by the U.S. Senate.
Therefore, it had no legal force as to President Joe Biden, as reported by the Associated Press in August 2021: But Biden can go only so far in claiming the agreement boxed him in.
It had an escape clause: The U.S. could have withdrawn from the accord if Afghan peace talks failed.
Nor is there any indication that Harris has apologized to the families of those American soldiers who were murdered during the Biden/Harris botched withdrawal, as they suffer further emotional injury from the Harris campaign’s deceptive attempt to evade blame for Harris’ support of a policy that caused these needless deaths.
The agreement Trump made with the Taliban was conditional on the Taliban acting in a particular manner.
“Trump wanted to bring the Taliban to Camp David just days before September 11th—think about that.
