We begin to see the difference between not winning the Afghanistan war and losing the Afghanistan war. At least--so far--for people living in Afghanistan.
So, it's Taliban 1.0 after all:
Afghanistan's new Taliban rulers set up a ministry for the “propagation of virtue and the prevention of vice" in the building that once housed the Women's Affairs Ministry, escorting out World Bank staffers Saturday as part of the forced move.
It's the latest troubling sign that the Taliban are restricting women's rights as they settle into government, just a month since they overran the capital of Kabul. In their first period of rule in the 1990s, the Taliban had denied girls and women the right to education and barred them from public life.
Somebody should notify the Biden administration.
Explain to me again why American feminists aren't the most vicious, hard core anti-jihadis.
Like those Afghan women don't need help with virtue and vice, eh?
UPDATE: No! Way!
The Taliban hanged a dead body from a crane parked in a city square in Afghanistan on Saturday in a gruesome display that signaled the hard-line movement’s return to some of its brutal tactics of the past.
Probably just rogue elements of the new and improved Taliban. I mean, just "some" of their past brutal tactics are evident so far.
