Jones sounds like a competent diplomat and this could be, potentially, the most functional appointment this worthless, useless, incompetent Biden administration has made. I hope she is able to bring home those folks and get an accurate accounting of who is still there

Frankly, I think resettling all Afghans in the US is wrong-headed and bad policy. They can be safely kept in the region. Unless we are basically saying we’re going to allow the growth of a terrorist super state in Afghanistan, the Afghan people need to be in region to take their country back when appropriate.

Emily, Do you have any thoughts as to why the administration did not appoint Amb. Jones earlier? Do you think she is just a show piece by administration so they can be seen as doing something? I admit, I have low opinion of Biden and his lackeys. I do not believe Biden for a moment.

Pardon my skepticism. While I'm happy that you think Ms Jones will do well here, I still believe that the entire foreign relations policy of the United States in relation to the current Afghan ruling regime is very tenous and questionable. Taliban will Taqiya with impunity when it suits them no matter what. Deobandi Islam tenets reject our perception of natural God given rights to all humans. To the Taliban and other perverted Islamic regimes it's their way or you're dead on the highway. Ms Jones may be capable indeed. However I seriously am skeptical the Taliwhackers will accept negotiating with a female. I apologize.
