CLAY: The craziness that is continuing to spiral out of Afghanistan is really not surprising to anybody who’s been listening to this program, ’cause Buck and I have been breaking down where we were headed as soon as we started negotiating with the Taliban. Right now, we have hostage situations taking place all over the country. Let’s listen to Congressman Michael McCaul lay that out on Fox News Sunday.
MCCAUL: They are not clearing the airplanes to depart. They’ve sat at the airport for the last couple days, these planes, and they’re not allowed to leave. We know the reason why is because the Taliban wants something in exchange. This is really, Chris, turning into a hostage situation where they’re not gonna allow American citizens to leave until they get full recognition from the United States of America.
My concern is that Zalmay Khalilzad, our special envoy, who’s met with the Taliban… They’re in talks right now, and I think — I worry — his recommendation to the administration will be to recognize the Taliban as the official government of the United States, a Taliban organization that is a terrorist organization.
CLAY: Sounds to me like we’re gonna have to send them some more harshly worded letters, ’cause that’s how everybody knows that you really make terrorists aware that you are taking them seriously: A really mean letter threatening them with U.N. sanctions and failure to recognize if they don’t start treating people better.
