Clearly Pakistani Americans serving in the Biden Administration were quite happy to let matters take their course in Afghanistan as this report points out.

It is unclear if he chose to ignore the July 13 classified cable, resulting in no changes in the existing Biden policy on Afghanistan, which led to Pakistan-Taliban victory over the USA-NATO forces. THIS EMAIL HAS TWO PARTS. PLEASE READ BOTH PARTS. Internal State Department Cable Warned of Kabul Collapse July memo shows that administration officials were cautioned about Taliban’s quick advance By Vivian Salama Updated Aug. 19, WASHINGTON—An internal State Department memo last month warned top agency officials of the potential collapse of Kabul soon after the U.S.’s Aug. 31 troop withdrawal deadline in Afghanistan, according to a U.S. official and a person familiar with the document. The classified cable represents the clearest evidence yet that the administration had been warned by its own officials on the ground that the Taliban’s advance was imminent and Afghanistan’s military may be unable to stop it. The cable, sent via the State Department’s confidential dissent channel, warned of rapid territorial gains by the Taliban and the subsequent collapse of Afghan security forces, and offered recommendations on ways to mitigate the crisis and speed up an evacuation, the two people said. The cable, dated July 13, also called for the State Department to use tougher language in describing the atrocities being committed by the Taliban, one of the people said. In all, 23 U.S. Embassy staffers, all Americans, signed the July 13 cable, the two people said. The U.S. official said there was a rush to deliver it, given circumstances on the ground in Kabul. The cable was sent to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Director of Policy Planning Salman Ahmed.
