Facing growing pressure over his looming deadline to leave Afghanistan, President Joe Biden dispatched his spy chief to meet with the Taliban’s de facto leader, according to a senior diplomat in the region and another source familiar with the matter.
CIA Director William Burns held a secret meeting with Taliban co-founder and political leader Abdul Ghani Baradar on Monday, the sources said. The meeting was first reported by the Washington Post. The CIA declined to comment on the meeting, citing the agency’s policy of never discussing the travels and meetings of its director.
The news comes as Biden is set to decide whether to extend his deadline for U.S. troops to withdraw from the country, under growing pressure ahead of a crisis summit with leaders of key allies.AUG. 24, 202104:21
Biden is expected to make the decision on whether to push back the Aug. 31 deadline on Tuesday, according to two U.S. officials, with just a week to go and thousands desperately awaiting evacuation in the wake of the militant group’s rapid takeover of the country.
The president is facing criticism from at home and abroad, as well as mounting calls to delay the withdrawal until more Americans, Afghans and others seeking to flee the militant group can be airlifted out.
Biden will hold an emergency virtual meeting with his Group of Seven counterparts on Tuesday morning, where he is likely to face further pressure to extend the evacuation effort.
But the Taliban have warned any delay would cross a “red line” and threatened consequences for the U.S. The militants control the outside of Kabul airport and have used force to control the chaotic crowds as thousands rush to escape their rule.
There is concern that if Washington tries to change the deadline the Taliban will lash out at Americans and other foreign nationals still in Afghanistan, according to the two U.S. officials.
U.S. military informed the White House that it will take about 3 to 4 days to get the roughly 6,000 troops and the small number of embassy and consular staff out, the officials said. That means they have to start moving the military out by the end of this week if they plan to stick to Biden’s cut-off date for the U.S. forces to withdraw from the country. As more U.S. troops leave, the evacuations will likely slow down, the officials said. For now the pace has accelerated.
In the 24 hours between Aug. 23 and 24, approximately 21,600 people were evacuated from Kabul, according to a White House official — 12,700 evacuees left on 37 U.S. military flights, while another 8,900 people were flown out on 57 coalition flights. Since the airlift began on Aug. 14, the U.S. has evacuated approximately 58,700 people, the official said.
Still, thousands more are desperate to board flights and leave the country as the Taliban continue to consolidate their power, with early reports of violence and repression of nascent resistanceinstilling fear in those left behind.
Many Afghans fear reprisals and a return to a harsh version of Islamic law that the Taliban enforced while in power from 1996 to 2001, in particular the repression of women and freedom of speech.
Biden told reporters Sunday he was considering extending the Aug. 31 deadline, but hoped that it wouldn’t have to come to it. He set the deadline back in early July before the Taliban’s military blitz saw them sweep across the country and take control.
The U.S. will now have to contend with Baradar and other senior Taliban leaders, who are in the process of choosing a new government Baradar is expected to lead, a commander with the militant group told NBC News. Baradar was arrested more than a decade ago in a joint U.S.-Pakistani operation and held for eight years in Pakistan.
He was released from prison in 2018 and served as the Taliban’s chief negotiator in peace talks in Qatar that produced an agreementwith former President Donald Trump’s administration to withdraw U.S. military personnel by May 1 of this year. After he was inaugurated, Biden said the withdrawal would be completed by the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks.
He then moved that forward to Aug. 31 but is now facing pressure from international allies to delay in order to allow more evacuations to take place.
U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace warned on Monday there were just “hours, not weeks” to evacuate vulnerable Afghans. But he told the U.K.’s Sky News on Tuesday that he was doubtful there would be an extension, calling it “unlikely.” “It’s definitely worth us all trying, and we will,” Wallace said.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Monday France was “concerned” about the Aug. 31 deadline, adding that “additional time is needed to complete ongoing operations,” according to Agence France-Presse.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas also said on Monday that G-7 leaders needed to decide whether to remain beyond Aug. 31. “We are working on ways to get people out of the country beyond the end of the military evacuation operation,” Maas was quoted as saying by the German Foreign Office on Twitter. “As bitter as it is, we need to talk to the Taliban. The alternative would be to abandon these people. And we are not willing to do that.”
Biden is also facing pressure at home. House Intel chair Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., told reporters after a briefing on Monday that he didn’t believe the evacuation could be completed in the eight days remaining.
“I think it’s possible but I think it’s very unlikely given the number of Americans who still need to be evacuated,” Schiff said, according to Reuters.
An NBC News poll released on Sunday showed just 25 percent of respondents approved of the president’s handling of Afghanistan, while 60 percent disapproved.

The ongoing ‘Afghan Horrors’ are just the most recent fabrications, to give the U.S. Government/Congress another excuse, not to touch the ‘Controlled Demolition’ of the WTC. Towers #1,#2,#7 Giant Structures, and the murder of 2977 innocent Collateral Victims, on ‘9/11/2001’, that ‘Crime of the Ages’, against the American People, in fact, it turned out to be Against the Whole World! What happened on our Planet, for the past 2 decades, has its ROOTS, one way or another, in the, ‘9/11/2001’ CRIME Against HUMANITY! Not one single word from our Congress/Government Entities to embark on a ‘Serious/Detailed/ Scientific’ Investigation, into that Major Crime against the U.S., on Our OWN SOIL! Connect the DOTTS? It Was an INSIDE JOB, or at Least allowed by Our Government, to take place and become a DEMONIC Success! Who is being SERVED by Our Government? Or is it TRUE, that, ‘Our Congress/Government is a BROTHEL!’ like the late Congressman from Ohio, Jim Traficant said? Our Senators, Representatives, Elected State and Federal Officials, ALL are nothing but PROSTITUTED Zombies, who are not Serving the interests of the American People, but that of an Alien, Foreign, DEMONIC Entity, the Zionist TERROR State of Israel? It seems to be the Fact! America is going DOWN the ‘Ash Heap of History!’
Nothing new here, Israel will take US to new lows. The more they conspire against Iran, the more they will sink in their quick sand of miscalculations. The best way out for US is to to turn around and slap Israel in the mouth and say enough is enough.
There is absolutely nothing about this f-ing war that is above board, from the phony pretext for the initial invasion to the way it’s been prosecuted over the past twenty years. It was always a war of aggression. It was always a brutal attack on a civilian population. It was always a war that couldn’t be “won” in any real sense of the word. Every American president since 9/11 should be hauled off to the International Criminal Court in The Hague to face charges of crimes against humanity. But, they won’t, not in this life but most certainly in the next.
What power is driving the satanic forces out of Afghanistan?
