Ned Price
Just a few days ago. we featured State Department spokesman, Ned Price, in true State Department fashion, citing a meeting the US had attended in Qatar in which the participating countries stated loud and clear and "with one voice that a military takeover in Afghanistan would be unacceptable".
Well, now Mr Price, in true State Department fashion, has called on the Taliban to form an inclusive government with lots of women.
"Price cited a United Nations declaration calling for "an immediate cessation of all hostilities and the establishment, through inclusive negotiations, of a new government that is united, inclusive and representative – including with the full, equal and meaningful participation of women."

Isn't the world laughing at us enough? I guess the next thing we will hear from Price is that the Taliban must commit itself to fighting climate change. No doubt, they will establish a cabinet-level Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity. And I certainly hope they will make good use of that rainbow flag they have no doubt by now seized from the American embassy flagpole.
As I have said many times, based on my ten+ years of dealing with the State Department in my overseas work with DEA, even under the best administrations, the State Department is a world onto itself. If you've been watching White House Press Spokesperson, Jen Psaki, she got her start as State Department spokesperson under Obama.
Someone should remind Mr Price that while he is worried about Taliban inclusivity, there are by some reports, some 10,000+ Americans still unevacuated from Afghanistan.
