Baradar was captured in Pakistan by a team of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officers in February 2010 and was released on 24 October 2018 at the request of the United States.

During the first Taliban rule (1996–2001), Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar held a variety of posts. He was the Governor of Herat and Nimruz provinces, and the Corps Commander for western Afghanistan.

1. welcome to Suckistan.....

mercy....

[mountain grammy]

2. I wonder if the evangelicals take over America

who they will make president. So many choices.

[stillcool]

3. They can send someone to the Taliban

for training. Unless Erik Prince is slated to do that.

[mountain grammy]

4. Yeah, he'd be one of the choices.

5. One Ghani for another Ghani

damn, these people don't waste any time.

6. "Great guy. I told Pompeo to make a deal with him. He is being recognized more and more"

[onetexan]

20. the dunce on the left should be to blame. He made a deal w the taliban on behalf of the Con's admin

without Afghan government's involvement. It was all for show - a photo-op to give the optic they're getting crap done when they're doing just the opposite - unraveling the 20 years and Billions of dollars the US have poured into this forsaken nation.

7. Mullah Omar would have been President

had he lived to this day. Ghani was the co-founder of the Taliban which has only existed since 1994. Ironically the Taliban succeeded in controlling the country from 1996-2001 because they opposed excesses of the former Soviet-fighting Mujahideen like Hekmatyar, who was on of the worst.

Ghani seems to be promoting a moderate image for the Taliban going forward:

8. How much money do you think Ashraf Ghani took with him when he left? nt

[Slammer]

9. If he was smart

...he took all of it.

Anything that's left is going straight into the Taliban warchest.

[IronLionZion]

10. He was captured in 2010. Trump had him released in 2018

12. "will play constructive role in Afghan peace initiative"

Gee ~ how'd that work out?

[IronLionZion]

14. Super peaceful

just like all of Trump's promises, people got sick of winning.

[Sneederbunk]

11. Certainly looks like a tourist.

[left-of-center2012]

13. Maybe Trump could invite him to Mar-a-Lago

'Trump Kabul Hotel' has a certain ring to it.

[rso]

15. Ghani

Trump is responsible for releasing this fanatic from Guantanamo, after which he returned to Afghanistan to rally his fellow fanatics.

[11 Bravo]

16. Missed being MAGA by just one letter!

[marble falls]

17. I'd advise waiting a few weeks before mongraming anything. I never learn the name of any ...

... cleric in any government before they sit in office at least 6 months.

[secondwind]

18. He looks like a jovial chap...... not

[LeftInTX]

26. Just the kind of guy you would like to have a beer with

Or have as your next door neighbor....

[Uncle Joe]

19. This may be a positive development,

but it's too early to tell for sure.

Thanks for the thread brooklynite.

The stench of Trump/Pompeo treason. Connect the dots

-New Afghan “president” is Taliban cofounder Baradar, who Pompeo met 11/21/20 after Trump’s election loss

-Pompeo had him sprung from a Pakistani prison in 2018

-They had funding to buy off Afghan troops

-Russia not evacuating

[Dawson Leery]

24. Trump let him go.

[pfitz59]

25. Of course Faux and the GQP will try and blame Biden

28. The conservative traditional family values crowd has taken over Afghanistan.

Will they aid the Talibaptists in the US?
