Taliban Showcase The Military Equipment That They Have Seized As Well As Pallets Of American Cash

 

Dailt Mail: The £62bn spoils of war: Taliban militants help themselves to helicopters, hi-tech radios and armoured vehicles amid ramshackle withdrawal of international forces from Afghanistan

* Sandals are now replaced with combat boots and tailored camouflage uniforms 

When British soldiers deployed to Helmand 15 years ago their Taliban counterparts were shabbily dressed in tattered traditional outfits and armed with decades-old Russian rifles and grenade launchers. 

While they possessed guile in spades, and knew every inch of the jungle-like 'Green Zone' where battles were fought, they were poorly equipped and poorly trained.

WNU Editor: Here is an easy prediction. This seized military arsenal is going to blow-back against the U.S., and for a long time.

Bottom line. 

No one leaves that type of cash hanging around so that the Taliban can then "accidentally" stumble upon. 

My gut is telling me that the U.S. is bribing the Taliban to not launch military strikes against them, and to let Americans through to the airport.
