Biden Official Explains Real Reason For Afghanistan Withdrawal: Completed Mission Of Ignoring Child Sex Slavery There

It was time to bring back the troops tasked with that mission.

Washington, August 8 – A White House representative disclosed Monday a heretofore undiscussed factor behind the hasty American departure from Taliban-held Afghanistan last year, one that the administration believes received insufficient attention at the time of the operation and that might help the public better understand the decision to abandon allies, strand citizens, and condemn tens of millions to life under an oppressive, fundamentalist, brutal regime: the US decided it had performed all of the requisite turning a blind eye to the rampant local practice of pederastic sexual slavery known as bacha bazi and could now return home.

Deputy National Security Adviser Don Natello told reporters that President Joe Biden’s move last year to remove all US troops from Afghanistan – which precipitated a wholesale collapse of allied Afghan forces in the face of a Taliban onslaught and drove tens of thousands to try to flee the country – grew less out of a sense of futility in maintaining the two-decade-old US military presence there and more out of a sense that ignoring flagrant bacha bazi day in, day out, had ceased to be a priority for the United States and that it was time to bring back the troops tasked with that mission.

“Our troops long ago dispensed with actual training of allies to basic competence levels,” explained Natello. “You saw what happened when the chips were down – they melted away. That’s because our core mission ceased to focus on keeping terrorist forces at bay more than ten years ago. Once the initial invasion in 2001 swept the Taliban out of its major strongholds and established a moderate government, our troops shifted priorities to other concerns, mainly ignoring the child sexual slavery that the Taliban had done much to suppress but that our allies felt unwilling to combat. Any number of Afghanistan veterans can tell you about the grooming and abuse they saw, and were ordered to do nothing about.”

Bacha bazi mainly involves prepubescent and adolescent boys. Its chief practitioners have been The principal US rationale successive administrations have offered for ignoring it has been that enforcement of laws on the books against the practice lies in the domain of local government and not within the mission of US forces, even as the US sends thousands of troops overseas to protect human and civil rights elsewhere in the world, and never took a public stance against its ostensible Afghan allies on the issue.
