DoD spokesman John Kirby 

Daily Mail: Pentagon insists Kabul is not under 'imminent threat' from the advancing Taliban despite the 'concerning speed' of their progress and says Afghan troops STILL have the advantage 

* DoD spokesman John Kirby said first of 3000 troops arrived in Kabul on Friday 

* He said he was concerned with speed of the Taliban advance across Afghanistan 

* The Afghan capital was not in an 'imminent threat environment,' he said, although it was clear insurgents were trying to isolate Kabul 

* Reports suggest Afghan government forces have melted away in the face of some Taliban advances 

* Kirby insisted the Afghan security force had the training, materiel and numbers to make a difference on the ground 

* But he added that 'money can't buy you will' and said more leadership was needed among local troops 

The Pentagon said on Friday it did not believe Kabul was under imminent threat from the rapid Taliban advance, as the first of 3000 U.S. troops arrived in the Afghan capital to protect embassy staff. 

Earlier Taliban fighters seized the country's second and third biggest cities, and their fighters closed to within 50 miles of Kabul. 

The speed of their advance has sent Western nations scrambling to bring home civilian staff. And a defense official told the Associated Press that an attack on Kabul could come within days. 

Department of Defense spokesman John Kirby declined to say whether officials were surprised by the way Afghan forces had failed to slow the advance.
