Pentagon spokesman John Kirby speaks during a briefing at the Pentagon in Washington, Monday, Aug. 9
* US Intelligence officials are warning that the Afghan capital of Kabul could fall to Taliban forces in as little as a month, or within the next 90 days
* That's despite US-trained security forces that 'far outnumber the Taliban' and a 'capable fighting force of 300,000 troops'
* Initial intelligence estimates had pegged the fall of Kabul to Taliban forces at six to 12 months following the departure of the US military
* The Taliban has boldly began to overrun and capture large swaths of the war-torn country since US forces began being pulled from the region in late May
* They are set to be fully removed by the end of this month
US Intelligence officials are warning that the Afghan capital of Kabul could fall to Taliban forces in as little as a month, despite a huge security force that far outnumbers the rogue group previously triggering claims that the city would be able to defend itself for at least a year.
As stability in the region continues to erode, the Washington Post reports that the White House is currently bracing for the fall of Kabul, with an accelerated decline of security in the city taking it's toll over the last several weeks.

WNU Editor: I am convinced that the Biden administration is clueless on what is happening in Afghanistan. Case in point .... Jen Psaki is mocked for saying Taliban should consider its 'role in the international community' amid its rape and pillage of Afghanistan (Daily Mail).
But I am going to give President Biden some slack.
He has his opinions on what needs to be done, but he (like all other past Presidents) are influenced by what military/intel/etc. officials and policy experts tell him.
Clearly they have failed in advising the President on Afghanistan.
To say that Afghanistan is a major U.S. foreign policy, military, and intelligence failure is an understatement.
These people are the experts on Afghanistan, but all of their assessments have been proven wrong.
This should bother everyone, and this is why.
America's national security establishment is massive. With a total budget approaching almost one trillion dollars and a workforce with some of the brightest and most capable individuals of the country.
But ponder this.
After fighting this war for 20 years, they have lost against an enemy that numbers (at most) about 60,000 fighters, equipped with only AK-47s, RPGs, and mortars.
