( Biden is a disgrace to America. And just think that there are actually people out there too stupid to read the facts. Biden has slapped the faces of every soldier.)
Taliban supporters hold mock funerals with coffins draped with American flags
Taliban leaders took over control of the Kabul airport Tuesday
Photos emerged Tuesday showing Taliban supporters in
Afghanistan holding a mock funeral while hoisting coffins draped with flags from the U.S. and other NATO countries.
Reuters obtained
some of the photos that were taken in Khost on Tuesday, less than a day
after the last U.S. troop left the country after a nearly 20-year
engagement.

The
U.S. completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan late Monday, ending
America’s longest war and closing a chapter in military history likely
to be remembered for colossal failures, unfulfilled promises and a
frantic exit of 123,000.

The Reuters report said footage from the mock funeral was shared widely on social media.
Taliban leaders took over control of the Kabul airport Tuesday
and marked the departure of the last U.S. plane from the country by
taking a symbolic walk across the airport's sole runway, according to a
report.

"The
world should have learned its lesson and this is the enjoyable moment
of victory," Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesman, said in a
livestream video. He spoke to reporters at the Hamid Karzai
International Airport and said Americans "could not achieve their goal
through military operations," according to Al Jazeera.
The
Biden administration has insisted that the U.S. is unwavering in
commitments and placed much of the blame for the crisis in Afghanistan
on the country’s military and the Trump administration.
"The
previous administration’s agreement said that if we stuck to the May 1st
deadline that they had signed on to leave by, the Taliban wouldn’t
attack any American forces," Biden said on Tuesday.
"But if we stayed all bets were off. So we were left with a simple
decision: Either follow through on the commitment made by the last
administration and leave Afghanistan or say we weren’t leaving and
commit another tens of thousands more troops going back to war. That was
the choice. The real choice between leaving or escalating."
