Lara Logan: Stop pretending the Taliban are not terrorists
Fox News
Lara Logan joined ‘Fox News Primetime’ to weigh in on Biden’s response to the terrorist attack in Kabul.
You know, for Joe Biden to stand up there on the day that all of these Afghans have been killed and to pretend that this is some kind of tragedy and he cares about the death of American soldiers. If you cared about it, why did you do it? Why did you create this situation? Why aren’t you doing anything to change it? You know, going to the Taliban and asking them— Can we stop pretending now that the Taliban are not terrorists? Can we stop pretending that the Haqqani Network is not the number two? The leader of the Haqqani Network, the Afghan al Qaeda, is the deputy commander of the Taliban so, let’s stop pretending that the Taliban are not ISIS. You know, what the Afghans will tell you, the acting president now Amrullah Saleh, whose an old friend of mine— I’ve interviewed him many times on "60 Minutes"—He said to me when we interrogate these people, when we get them on the battlefield, do you know what we find out? Today they are ISIS, two weeks ago they were Taliban and two years ago, they were al Qaeda or something like that. You know so, they’re not fooling anybody except, unfortunately, the Americans who don’t know any better. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW BELOW:More Related News
