Why don’t you comment on these articles instead of just pasting the link? If you’re waiting for someone to speak first, why not just give your opinion of the article to get the conversation going?
Bottom line, we needed to be out of there, Biden’s withdrawal was part of a plan Trump set in action. I got no problems with the handling of this. It was always going to be messy, because no matter how much training and how many hundreds of billions of dollars we provided their army, they laid the fuck down. They were 300,000 strong and got beat by 60,000 in ten days. They don’t want our way of life. Maybe the women do, since for the last 20 years they’ve gotten a taste of freedoms, but the men don’t. Otherwise they would’ve fought for their homeland.

The men can go back to their patriarchal society where women are subservient.
No wonder they won't fight.

There is no more Afghanistan, ask Joe Biden WHY ???
-
Everything Biden touches turns in to a disaster.
I love how he tried to bakme Trump....he wasn't mentioning anything about Trump last week when he was taking credit for leaving Afghanistan.
I feel for all the families that lost a loved one over there. Seems pointless now.

What do you want me to comment on? The obvious? Of course we should be pulling out of Afghanistan but now was not the time and no, Biden didn’t follow anything Trump put into place for a safe withdrawal. Biden’s abruptly pulled our troops and within a week the Taliban overwhelmed the Afghani’s and promptly took over....Biden had no plan 2 in case something went wrong which is why he risked sending back in 3000 troops and now 5000 with no plan. Now we’re surrendering to the Taliban who we once defeated.
All he has to do was follow the plan but instead he decided to do it his way which, as usual, blew up in his face possibly costing our troops lives

Joe RAPIST Biden is not running the country, he does not have the mental faculties to even take care of himself. The Biden administration failure in Afghanistan is a complete dereliction of duty.
Stop with the crap about freedom and Mideast stability. These wars are fought for oil resources and so that politicians can wash a few trillion dollars of taxpayer money through the military complex and back into their own pockets.
It took 20 years for the truth to be exposed. I’m hoping the exposure of the COVID hoax will only take half that amount of time.

Now that is meaningless.
Do not join America's all-volunteer military if you can't accept the risk.

Just a sad situation. It didn't have to be this way. We haven't had a combat death in Afghanistan in well over a year. We probably should have left our small force there, like we did in South Korea and Germany. It's like these people learned nothing from history. It's not like we didn't have a recent example in Iraq.

Robert Gates, who served as defense secretary for the Obama administration, paused for a moment and said "I don't know" in an interview Sunday when asked if he thinks former VP Joe Biden would be a good president.
CBS's "Face The Nation" host Margaret Brennan asked Gates if he stood by a statement from his memoir that Biden has "been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."

I think the Dems want to reduce military spending and re-direct that spending to domestic issues, thus the impetus for a quick, complete withdrawal.
I'm glad we are leaving but the management of this has been a disgrace.

To me this whole withdrawing troops from Afghanistan seems like a trap that Trump set for Biden in the final days of his administration. It worked.
Withdrawing is the right decision in my opinion, but it's something no president really wanted actually happening on their watch because of fear of the backlash Biden is now facing. I think everyone in Washington knew the Afghan government wouldn't survive once US troops withdrew and that the whole thing would be a huge mess.

Have there been issues with vaccines in our history? Ever heard of swine flu and the vaccines?
Crazy to think people haven't forgotten about that now isn't it? Big Pharma and the FDA just want what's best for us, right?
Ever hear of a drug called Oxycontin? I hope you know the history of that drug and how pharma and the FDA handled it? I could most MANY more examples.
Are you still mad you were told the covid vaccine would bring 'normal' back....only to be masked up and likely to catch covid despite being vaccinated? Post vaccinated isn't what you expected now is it?
To think some people are skeptical is just insanity. Lol

Afghanistan: an Intelligence Failure Bigger than 9/11
Townhall.com ^ | August 18, 2021 | Bob Barr
Posted on 8/18/2021, 7:05:09 AM by Kaslin
Like most Americans, the debacle surrounding the fall of Afghanistan’s capital city to the Taliban caused me great concern. In fact, we are witnessing failures of leadership decision-making and foreign intelligence analysis worse than any in modern history; certainly, worse than the failures that lead to the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
To a degree, this conclusion is based on my personal experiences of having lived in that part of the world in my youth (I graduated from high school in Tehran, for example), having worked at the CIA for eight years in the 1970s, and having served in the Congress before, during, and after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Even without this background, however, the many negative short and long-term ramifications of this debacle cannot be overestimated.
Broadly speaking, there is more than enough blame to go around leading to the dismal situation in Afghanistan that President Biden inherited on January 20th, including mistakes by all three of his immediate predecessors (one Democrat and two Republican). But the final series of decisions – or non-decisions – leading directly to this fiasco, were made by this administration, and efforts by Biden to shift blame to others is an act of cowardice.
The lenses through which this administration viewed events in Afghanistan were deep rose-colored. This caused them to overlook the otherwise obvious weaknesses in both the Afghan military and its civilian government. They persisted in the narrative that the fall of Kabul to the Taliban was only a “possibility,” and certainly not an “inevitability.” Even worse, they concluded that this possibility was months away, and therefore we had adequate time to arrange for an orderly exit.
Last weekend’s collapse of both the Afghan civilian leadership and its military was either not foreseen at all by Biden, or even worse its fact was presented to him and ignored.
Regardless of which of these two horrible options prevailed over the past several weeks, during the course of 20 years, 2,300 military lives lost, and two trillion dollars, it appears that the Intelligence Community screwed up so badly as to make the pre-9/11 intelligence failure pale by comparison.
Whether our military leadership tried to save face after failing to mold the Afghan army into some semblance of a fighting force after two decades of tutorial, or whether civilian intelligence is simply that ineffective in the Middle East (even inside a country the U.S. government effectively ran), there is no legitimate way to attribute the gulf between expectations and reality in Afghanistan to a “miscommunication” or “bad intel.”
What appears to have happened is beyond fundamentally incompetent, and borders on intentional and deceptive.
The intelligence shortcomings resulting in our failure to stop the 9/11 terror attacks were devastating, but for the most part played out behind the scenes. Also, the 9/11 attacks were an American tragedy; they did not undercut our reputation with allies, or adversaries. If anything, the attacks engendered a rare bit of empathy from the international community, while providing an opportunity to remind the world the dangers of awakening the “sleeping giant filled with terrible resolve.”
Afghanistan’s fall is far different. The intelligence failures here happened in real-time, on live television, across the world. Worse, rather than being exclusively an American blunder, the international coalition of allies who helped with the U.S. effort means the decades of blood and treasure lost this week are theirs to share as well. There is no question their anger and distrust will reverberate years down the road if the United States seeks future coalitions.
America’s adversaries will be emboldened at our stunning defeat in Afghanistan. Already China is looking to move into the vacuum left in America’s wake, and seizing the opportunity to escalate saber-rattling over Taiwan. Their enhanced foothold in the Middle East will be employed to weaken ours. Had policy makers in Washington – Republican and Democrat – cared to read the long history of China and the so-called “Silk Road,” some in Washington might have seen this coming; but apparently not.
American citizens and the rest of the freedom-loving world, deserve better than what our Intelligence Community has become – a dangerous hive of self-serving bureaucrats.
As with the 9/11 Commission, Congress owes it to us all to find the truth behind the fall of Afghanistan, and the role America’s civilian and military intelligence services played in the government’s decision-making. If answers and learning do not then follow, the damage to our national security will be brutal and long-lasting.

At some point, if an outlet spins it too much they lose too much credibility. I saw CNN ripping him yesterday. I don't think they have much of a choice. They tried to spin with the blame it on Trump BS, but that only flys so high. Most people, IMO, will agree that the execution is solely on Biden and he dropped the ball and likely thousands will now die.
What I don't understand is why all those people waited until now to get the hell out of there?

I ran Team Trump’s Afghan withdrawal — Biden’s attempt to blame us is just sad
New York Post ^ | August 19, 2021 6:35pm | By Kash Patel
Posted on 8/20/2021, 10:52:11 AM by Hojczyk
Trump instructed me to arrange a conditions-based, methodical exit plan that would preserve the national interest. The plan ended up being fairly simple: The Afghan government and the Taliban were both told they would face the full force of the US military if they caused any harm to Americans or American interests in Afghanistan.
Next, both parties would negotiate to create an interim-joint government, and both sides had to repudiate al Qaeda. Lastly, a small special-operations force would be stationed in the country to take direct action against any terrorist threats that arose. When all those conditions were met — along with other cascading conditions — then a withdrawal could, and did, begin.
We successfully executed this plan until Jan. 20, 2021. During this interval — when there were no US casualties in Afghanistan — President Ashraf Ghani and the Taliban conducted multiple rounds of negotiations, and al Qaeda was sidelined. The result was a successful drawdown of US forces in Afghanistan to 2,500, the lowest count since the dawn of the War on Terror.
Former Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller claimed that the Trump administration never intended to completely pull of out Afghanistan. Ex-Trump official Chris Miller says Taliban deal was a ‘play’ never intended to pull troops We handed our entire plan to the incoming Biden administration during the lengthy transition. The new team simply wasn’t interested.
Everything changed when the new commander in chief declared that US forces would leave Afghanistan by Sept. 11, 2021, pushing back the Trump administration’s timetable by four months. Crucially, he didn’t condition the withdrawal on continued adherence to the agreed-upon stipulations. It would be an unconditional pullout with an arbitrary date based on pure symbolism — and set in stone.

The United States is grateful to the United Arab Emirates for its humanitarian efforts and its gracious offer to facilitate the safe transit of U.S. citizens, embassy personnel, and foreign nationals evacuated from Kabul to third countries. The United States greatly appreciates the Emirati government’s support; it is emblematic of our strong and enduring partnership.

Afghans see 'worst day by far' outside Kabul airport
SKY News ^ | August 21, 2021
Posted on 8/21/2021, 7:55:21 AM by Oldeconomybuyer
Thousands have gathered outside the international hub as global leaders scramble to evacuate diplomats and nationals following the Taliban takeover.
Footage has captured tense scenes as the military desperately tried to control the chaos, with shocking images showing infants being passed over razor wire to American soldiers on barricades.
Speaking from the ground in Kabul, chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay said today is the "worst day so far" as people queuing in their thousands are crushed at the front of growing crowds.
He said he believes people have died this morning, adding: "I've seen a lot of people getting medical attention."
Describing the scenes as "utterly horrendous", Ramsay said the military has been forced to fire blast explosions in a bid to get people to take a step back and alleviate pressure on the front.
He added: "It is very very tense, they're doing everything they can to keep some order and to rescue people who may be dying."
The journalist added that "hardened soldiers" had told him its the "worst thing they have ever seen in their entire career."

American mom trapped by Taliban describes horrific violence, pleads for Biden to solve evacuation crisis
Fox News ^ | 8/21/2021 | Michael Ruiz , Sara Ballou
Posted on 8/22/2021, 6:06:39 AM by LibWhacker
An American mom trapped in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan is worried she'll never see her kids again and in hiding with family members and Afghan allies – unable to reach Kabul's U.S.-held airport for a chance at an evacuation, she said Saturday.
"I really have given up hope, given up on the hope of going to the airport," the woman, whose identity is being withheld due to concerns for her safety, told Fox News. "It’s just not possible to make it through all those people."
She said there are as many as 20 Taliban checkpoints between her and the airport – and she’s one of an uncertain number of American citizens trapped behind enemy lines.
Every moment that a car passes by, I feel like they are going to pull in and execute us. I don't know if I'm going to see my children again.
She was whipped by Taliban fighters on one attempt to get through, she said. A man standing near her was shot in the head on another try, leaving his wife and baby in tears. Since then, she's been in hiding.
TALIBAN GOING ‘HOUSE TO HOUSE’ IN AFGHANISTAN ‘HANGING’ PEOPLE WHO WORKED WITH US
"We are devastated," she said. "We're scared for our lives. Every moment that a car passes by, I feel like they are going to pull in and execute us. I don't know if I'm going to see my children again."
She said the situation was dire – even hopeless. She would rather commit suicide than allow the Taliban to capture her. And despite Taliban assurances to the U.S. that Americans would be allowed to pass through the checkpoints surrounding the airport, she said she fears showing her U.S. passport to militants who could be members of other terror groups, including ISIS and al Qaeda.

They have big money contracts to be there and don't want to breech them.
Nobody goes over there for any other reason than money.
It's like walking out on your job when you are making $125 per hour.
They were milking the Afghanistan scam for all it was worth and for some reason we’re supposed to feel sorry for them.

Under the February 29 agreement, signed in Doha, Qatar, the United States has committed to a phased, conditions-based withdrawal of all U.S. and NATO troops from Afghanistan within 14 months of signing the accord.

Alirighty then....just add 14 months to February 29 and you'll have the answer as to how long most probably thought they had to get out.

What do you want me to comment on? The obvious? Of course we should be pulling out of Afghanistan but now was not the time and no, Biden didn’t follow anything Trump put into place for a safe withdrawal. Biden’s abruptly pulled our troops and within a week the Taliban overwhelmed the Afghani’s and promptly took over....Biden had no plan 2 in case something went wrong which is why he risked sending back in 3000 troops and now 5000 with no plan. Now we’re surrendering to the Taliban who we once defeated.
All he has to do was follow the plan but instead he decided to do it his way which, as usual, blew up in his face possibly costing our troops lives
I've always posted and agreed that Biden owns this debacle in Afghanistan . He should have IGNORED the previous Trump agreement.
Trump ( and Sec Pompeo) would never have negotiated US surrender with the Taliban or agreed for the release of 5000 Afghan terrorists in prison. ::)
That must be fake news and we'd never have a written agreement, right Coach? ;)

The whole thing is been a 20 year failure and fraud so why should the exit be any different?
Sure, it’s politically expedient to blame the whole thing on sleepy but the truth is it’s the whole system. There are people who were over there at the start who said the whole thing could’ve been wrapped up in a few months.

George W. Bush's CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden calls Trump supporters 'our Taliban' and suggests sending the 'the MAGA wearing unvaxxed' on planes to Afghanistan
Retired General Michael Hayden bashed 'MAGA wearing unvaxxed' people after Donald Trump held a rally in Alabama criticized as a 'super spreader' event
He appeared to endorse an image calling Trump supporters 'Our Taliban'
GOP Congressman Jim Banks was one of the people calling out Hayden
Hayden did not reply but retweeted another user dismissing Banks's comment
Hayden was first appointed to the intel community by former President Bill Clinton before serving under President George W. Bush's administration
The retired general was once accused of lying to Congress over CIA torture

So much for Biden's tough talk: Australian citizen is beaten by Taliban while trying to reach evacuation flight as Islamists IGNORE US president's demand to let civilians get to Kabul airport - with just hours left for them to flee
Daily Mail ^ | | UPDATED: 09:13 EDT, 25 August 2021 | By CHRIS PLEASANCE

Bloodied and beaten by the Taliban - this was the fate of one man claiming to be an Australian citizen as he tried to reach Kabul airport today as the Islamists defied Joe Biden's demand to let evacuation flights continue unimpeded with just hours left to get civilians out of the country.
The man, whose identity is unknown, was attacked after the Taliban vowed to stop people reaching the airport despite Biden demanding that they 'allow access to the airport for those who are transporting out and no disruptions to our operations' in return for US troops withdrawing from the country by August 31.
Video shows the man at what appears to be a Taliban checkpoint with blood running down his face and dripping on to his pink polo shirt, saying in accented English: 'They hit me... I am an Australian citizen.'
Lord David Richards, former chief of UK defence staff, said he is 'pretty certain' that British flights will have to stop on Friday to allow enough time for 1,000 troops to fully withdraw by August 31, the date Joe Biden committed to yesterday under threats from the Taliban.
France says it is 'very probable' that its flights will stop tomorrow, while Poland said it has already stopped flights due to the 'security situation' at the airport. Hungary will also stop flights soon.
Fears are now growing that civilians could rush the runway and trigger a deadly stampede in a repeat of the horror scenes from last week, or else opportunistic terror groups such as ISIS could attack packed crowds - fears that will only grow as troop numbers dwindle.

Pentagon confirms explosion at Kabul airport; US troops 'wounded'; official tells Reuters it was 'suicide bomb'
Sky News ^ | 8/26/2021 | Faith Ridler and Emily Mee
Posted on 8/26/2021, 10:33:12
US troops injured in 'suicide bombing' at Kabul airport - reports
Our chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay says he understands the explosion took place in a sewage canal outside the airport, where thousands have gathered in a bid to board flights since the Taliban takeover on 15 August.
Ramsay - who was until recently on the ground in Kabul - says this event could mark the end of the airlift from Afghanistan.
The journalist added it is understood that American soldiers were injured in the blast, which US officials believe was an attack by a suicide bomber. He said: "From our understanding it was a suicide bomb attack in a canal way that has featured in our reports where thousands have waited.
"We believe a suicide bomber blew himself up in the canal."

Four US marines among 40 dead in 'ISIS suicide bomb' attack at Kabul airport: NATO countries start to pull the plug on evacuations as airfield gates are 'welded shut' - but PM insists UK flights WILL continue
https://www.dailymail.co.uk ^ | UPDATED: 13:51 EDT, 26 August 2021 | JACK NEWMAN and JAMES ROBINSON and NICK CRAVEN
Four US Marines are thought to be among the 40 people killed in an 'ISIS suicide' bomb attack outside Kabul airport today.
Jihadist splinter group ISIS-K are believed to be behind the two blasts outside the gates of Kabul airport, where thousands of Afghans were awaiting evacuation.
The disaster - which comes after warnings by US and UK officials of an 'imminent' terror attack - could now spark an immediate to the West's frantic evacuation efforts in Afghanistan.
NATO countries, including Denmark, have already stopped their evacuation efforts this evening, while the gates to the airport have now been sealed by US troops in the aftermath.
However Boris Johnson, who this evening chaired an emergency COBRA meeting at Downing Street, insisted the UK will continue its evacuation flights. UK officials earlier today said there were a dozen evacuation flights still scheduled to leave Kabul.
It comes after as the Taliban say as many as 40 people, including children, were killed in two separate explosions near Kabul airport today - just hours after warnings of an 'imminent' and 'lethal' ISIS terror attack.
The first blast was set off by a suicide bomber outside the Barons Hotel where British troops, journalists and UN officials have been staying during frantic evacuation mission by Western forces.
It was then followed by gunfire and mass panic before a second explosion ripped through a crowd of Afghans gathered at the Abbey Gate of the Hamid Karzai airport.
Western officials say at least 13 people have died in the attacks, though the Taliban, who this evening condemned the 'evil' attacks, say at least 40 people could have died.

Biden remains out of public view as attacks mar Afghanistan evacuation
NY Post ^ | 08/26/2021 | Steve Nelson
Posted on 8/26/2021, 3:35:31 PM by ChicagoConservative27
WASHINGTON — President Biden and his administration’s top staff cleared public events from their schedules Thursday as the deadly bombings near Kabul’s airport killed US service members and complicated an already desperate evacuation of Americans and at-risk Afghans.
The grisly attack reportedly killed at least 12 US service members and wounded others, leaving the bodies of many Afghans strewn along a canal outside the airport.
Biden was supposed to meet at 11:30 a.m. in the Oval Office with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, but the meeting was delayed and then rescheduled to Friday.
Biden also canceled a planned 3 p.m. virtual meeting with governors on Afghan refugee resettlement.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki was supposed to host her daily press briefing at noon, but it was delayed without a new start time.

Closing Bagram airbase was a 'recipe for disaster': Army veteran turned terrorism analyst calls for CENTCOM commander to be fired for 'dumpster fire' plan to choose Kabul airport to evacuate thousands of people

The Woke Marine General is on TV now ,trying to Defend his CIC Biden.
“Bill Roggio, a former soldier and senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, demanded the resignation of the Centcom Commander U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Frank McKenzie, who heads the Afghan mission.”
Closing Bagram airbase was a 'recipe for disaster': Army veteran turned terrorism analyst calls for CENTCOM commander to be fired for 'dumpster fire' plan to choose Kabul airport to evacuate thousands of people
* Security experts said Bagram air base would have provided a secure hub * But it was closed in early July when U.S. forces slipped out at night * Americans must instead try to reach Kabul's airport which is ringed by Taliban * The result has been chaotic scenes at Hamid Karzai International Airport * And growing questions about the Biden's administration's emergency plan * Bill Roggio said 'you do not put your primary evacuation airstrip at an airport inside a city with 4.5 million people' * Rep. Mike Waltz said Bagram had more space for keeping people safe * But Gen. Mark Milley said his orders were to secure the embassy and he did not have enough troops to hold Bagram
Abandoning Bagram air base before withdrawing American civilians and Afghan allies was a major tactical mistake, according to senior national security experts, leaving U.S. forces reliant on a civilian airport, with a single runway in the heart of a city controlled by the Taliban. They said days of chaos could have been avoided if the U.S. evacuation plan included Bagram, 25 miles to the north.
nstead, the world was horrified to watch Afghans dropping from the sky off departing planes while Americans were being told to hunker down at home, and Taliban fighters encircled Hamid Karzai International Airport.

American University of Afghanistan Students Told ‘There Is No Evacuation’ and That Their Names Were Given to the Taliban
Mediaite ^ | Aug 29th, 2021 | Katherine Huggins
Posted on 8/30/2021, 4:20:51 AM by
Hundreds of students and alumni of the American University of Afghanistan were told “there will be no more rescue flights” on Sunday, prompting many to go into hiding.
Students were further alarmed upon learning that the U.S. military had given a list of their names and passport information to Taliban officials guarding the airport in Kabul, according to a report from the New York Times.
“They told us: we have given your names to the Taliban,” a 24-year-old sophomore studying business administration told the Times. “We are all terrified, there is no evacuation, there is no getting out.”
About 600 students and alumni had gathered at a safehouse on Sunday to gather before attempting to flee the country. However, upon arriving at the airport, they were turned away due to evacuation flights ending as the U.S. focuses on removing its personnel ahead of the Aug. 31 deadline.
“I regret to inform you that the high command at HKIA in the airport has announced there will be no more rescue flights,” an email shared with the Times from the university administration read.
The university was founded in 2006 and has since expanded to have a student body of about 1,700 full and part-time students from all 34 provinces of Afghanistan.
The university has been a target of the Taliban for several years. In August 2016, the Taliban launched an attack on the campus, killing 15 people, seven of whom were students. Earlier that month, an American and Australian professor working at the university were kidnapped and remained in captivity until 2019 when they were released in exchange for three Taliban prisoners.
According to the Times, on Aug. 15 —when the Taliban took over Kabul — the group posted a photo of them standing at the entrance of a university building, saying they were “where America trained infidel ‘wolves’ to corrupt the minds of Muslims.”
Ian Bickford, the president of the university, who fled Afghanistan two weeks ago, said the deadly attack at Kabul’s airport had complicated the campus evacuation efforts.
Bickford added that students will be able to finish their degrees remotely.
The students and alumni told the Times that they had “struggled emotionally” in recent days “as their status changed from college students to fugitives overnight.”

Supporting the withdrawal and supporting the way in which the Biden administration carried out the withdrawal are two completely different things.
JoeJill Biden and the Democrat Party own this abject failure.
JoeJill Biden is a feckless, dementia-ridden piece of crap. He is the perfect person to be leading the Democrat Party.

Anyone listening to President Biden's speech? Some notable comments:
He said the Americans we left behind wanted to stay, but that we're going to get them out if they want to come home.
He said he had no choice but to pull our troops out based on the deal President Trump negotiated. Then he said he pulled everyone out because he made a campaign promise to pull our troops out. Pretty much a word for word copy of what Obama said about Iraq.
He said there was no way to avoid this chaos.

Read an article that Afghanistan has "seasons", meaning seasons for gathering opium, seasons for fighting, etc.
I think the Trump plan had the withdrawal scheduled during the poppy see gathering season, where the Taliban would not be prepared or able to fight.
Biden wanted it around the 20th anniversary of 9/11, which is fighting season.
Never followed up on it though.

As Biden Administration Wages a War of Lies, Al-Qaida Returns to Afghanistan
Townhall.com ^ | September1, 2021 | Austin Bay
Posted on 9/1/2021, 9:00:15 AM by Kaslin
As resident Joe Biden's propagandists wage a rearguard political war of lies and narrative distortion, al-Qaida has begun exploiting his administration's on-the-ground Afghanistan disaster.
The administration's lies, spin and evasions are as morally dreadful as they are pathetically transparent. Jen Psaki's jaw-dropping Aug. 23 "Americans aren't stranded" denial already ranks high among all-time White House double head-slappers.
Psaki employed a totalitarian rhetorical trick of the ilk George Orwell condemned. To avoid answering a fair but critical question, she attacked the reporter for using the word "stranded." Then, she redefined the word to mean something it does not, arguing citizens who couldn't enter the Kabul airport weren't stranded because they were in telephonic contact.
Earth to Jen. Your car stalls and you're stranded on the highway. You call AAA, but you're stranded until the tow truck arrives. Q.E.D.
American citizens were stranded in Afghanistan when she pulled her stunt. Some still stranded are potential hostages. On Aug. 31, a reporter asked Pentagon spokesman John Kirby if the U.S. would evacuate more citizens should the opportunity arise. Kirby inadvertently delivered a coup de Jaw-Drop Jen: "We have Americans that get stranded in countries all the time and we do everything we can to try to facilitate safe passage."
How many U.S. citizens remain in Afghanistan? The Biden State Department doesn't know, and the figures vary from 100 to 1,500. State Department flacks, including Antony Blinken, also known as Secretary of State Blinken, excuse their befuddlement because the circumstances are chaotic.
Hey, Blinken -- you and yours seeded the unnecessary and deadly chaos.
For years, American veterans groups and civil organizations have sponsored programs to bring former Afghan translators and their families to the United States. Numerous nongovernmental organizations have focused on protecting other Afghans now vulnerable to Taliban execution, for example, religious minorities and women's and children's rights activists.
After Biden's April 14 withdrawal announcement, several of these programs morphed into ad hoc rescue efforts. The State Department response? It would take 12 to 18 months to get Special Immigrant Visas.
Aware that a decision to withdraw was in the works, a competent State Department would have integrated these efforts into its evacuation plan. Issuing treacly lip service plaudits is not integrated planning.
Oh, wait. What plan? Despite American military expertise in Noncombatant Evacuation Operations, or NEOs, Biden's Afghan debacle proves the planning effort was casual, haphazard and rank amateur.
A quote from my Aug. 17 column: "Even a NEO involving an area as large as Afghanistan could have been planned and prepared in 30 to 45 days if the Joint Chiefs of Staff had coordinating power and the State Department arranged for temporary refugee housing in third-country safe havens." The decision to quit Bagram air base "was utterly stupid, at least until threatened Afghans were extracted."
Blinken's State Department served as the lead agency -- that's U.S. doctrine for a NEO. But withdrawal from a combat zone is still a military operation. State Department suits, however, started giving specific security orders. The suits determined protecting the Kabul embassy -- protecting them -- took priority over keeping the Bagram airbase.
Why didn't the Joint Chiefs insist on sending in reinforcements to hold Bagram and protect the embassy? My guess: Biden's State Department is staffed by brats with paper credentials who insist they're smarter than everyone else, and the current ranking Pentagon military officers are political appointees with epaulets.
Meanwhile, in Afghanistan on Aug. 30, Dr. Amin-ul-Haq, an al-Qaida leader and former Osama bin Laden security chief, returned to his native Nangarhar province.
On Aug. 20 Biden said, "What interest do we have in Afghanistan at this point with al-Qaida gone?"
Hey, White House Resident. We defeated al-Qaida in Afghanistan. But your disastrous bugout has put 9/11's mass-murdering terrorists back in business.

It is Far More Sinister Than You Think
Townhall.com ^ | September 1, 2021 | David McGrath
Posted on 9/1/2021, 12:28:56 PM by Kaslin
More than 800,000 Soldiers, Airmen, Marines and Navy Sailors served in the war in Afghanistan. I am one of them. I worked the streets of Kabul on my last deployment. Day, and night we trudged the mind- bending, stomach- turning streets of the overcrowded streets of Kabul. It amazed me how many people could fit on the back of one motor bike, and how daring civilians were to jump right in front of an armored vehicle with the horn blaring with seemingly no regard for their personal safety.
I became a man there too. I learned a lot about myself. I fought hard there. I fired a weapon at another man whose only goal in his entire sad, misguided life was to kill me. As the fight raged on, the man’s body just stayed there after I put him down. For nearly Eighteen hours, I watched as other fighters stepped over this man, took his weapon, and stripped him of his ammunition. At the end of the day, all he was to them was another dead fighter, there to be stripped of his supplies and forgotten.
It is fitting that the 10th anniversary of that day is upcoming. It's September 13th. I remember it well. It was 2 days after the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and just a year before the uprising in Benghazi, Libya.
I got to peek far behind the war curtain on that year-long deployment. I was in a leadership position. I agonized over every one of the thousands of decisions I made that year. There is nothing worse to a soldier than the feeling you get when you may have flubbed something and put another man who wears your unit patch in danger. It is indescribable. You would rather die yourself than to get someone else hurt.
That’s why I cannot fathom the missteps, the almost pathological behavior of President Joe Biden’s administration, and the decisions surrounding ending the Afghanistan conflict. I have to imagine that this is all by design. Nobody could be incompetent enough to give away our most strategic staging area in country: Bagram Air field.
Bagram is so important positionally. It is easy to defend. It sits Three-Hundred miles from China and Iran, who are serious adversaries to the United States on the world stage.
General Mark Milley has come out and said that Bagram was not important tactically to the Afghanistan pull-out. Milley has had some idiotic moments, but he is not a stupid man. General Milley does not believe that Bagram isn’t important. The worms and pencil-necks of this administration have clearly gotten to him. Think tank guys like Jake Sullivan and Anthony Blinken have talked General Milley out of his good senses.
The plan had to go forward without Bagram. The plan was to add to world de-stabilization. Demoralize completely the military, and make sure that a plane load of fresh democrat voters would be en route to a United States city near you. It is the only logical conclusion that I can draw. Even Joe Biden, who had been a failure for Forty-plus years as a senator could not have screwed this up, like this. It has to be by design.
Read any communist playbook. Most communists like Barack Obama and soon to be President Kamala Harris see no use for an American military as currently constituted. Much like the police force, they want to break them down and build them up as their military. One that does their bidding and holds their ideals.
Step one: Demoralize. Step 2: Throw it into disarray. That has happened as well.
Enlisted men do not trust their leadership. Find them incompetent, and want them tried for murder after the death of 12 Marines, a Corpsman and a soldier last week in a suicide attack.
The military is a complete mess right now. Everyone wants out. Everyone is completely embarrassed and is ready to throw their rank on the table and head off to make solar panels like John Kerry promised.
To the ruling class, this is a fantastic result. They do not want good, red-blooded Americans who find what happened over the past 7-10 days as reprehensible.
They want ideologues who will go along to get along, and do their bidding. Like Mark Milley, who was looking for "White Rage" In the halls of the Pentagon before this pesky Afghanistan issue cropped up. Or Lloyd Austin, who was never a bright General, who was giving political purity tests to lower enlisted upon his installation of Secretary of Defense last January. They are nothing more than lackeys with no moral compass, or honor. They are just right for this administration.
It should not surprise you that Americans are stranded in Afghanistan, behind enemy lines, yet plane load after plane load of refugees left Kabul ear-marked for the United States. The people left behind could be or maybe will be again Trump voters. Hell, they may not even be vaccinated (Gasp!) These refugees will be so happy to be in the States that they will vote for the ruling class forever. Which is all that matters.
Oh, and one more thing: You should not be surprised at how callous the President acted when receiving the remains of our honored war dead at Dover Air Base yesterday. These patriotic kids are not his constituents. The president nonchalantly checked his watch at every casket that was unloaded. Casualties of his bungling of the surrender. Nobody will really hold him to account. He is literally here to be the patsy. A Grandfatherly idiot, who is barely coherent enough to understand what he is being used for. There was no happy ending to the war in Afghanistan. No Sailor kissing a girl in Times Square, in a pretty white dress while fireworks go off in the background. It ended like it started, with American blood, and so many unanswered questions.

That article is dated 8/31. The quote I pulled is from today 9/1 :
---
The Defense Department cited "custom regulations" as an obstacle in evacuating "stray dogs" from Afghanistan. It did not deny the authenticity of the viral image but disputed that the animals had worked with the military in any capacity.
Meanwhile, Kabul Small Animal Rescue, an animal welfare group and an affiliate of Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals International, which has tended to animals injured or displaced during the war in Afghanistan, tweeted it was aiming to evacuate animals in the cargo hold of planes leaving Kabul's airport.
The group had launched "Operation Hercules," an effort to airlift animals out of the country. However, that work had been taking place for days before the social media claims went viral.
A previous post from Kabul Small Animal Rescue described the animals as "dogs and cats left behind as people flee" in Kabul. The group never described the animals as being service animals.
"All our working dogs left with their handlers. We would not leave them behind," Pahon said. "To suggest otherwise is ridiculous."

I'm not buying that there were just a bunch of stray dogs running around. They may not have been owned by the military, but they were working with us. There really isn't much difference between what we did to the Afghans who helped us and the dogs who helped us.

I might have to take a break from reading about this situation. It's a little overwhelming. One person's decision killed those kids.
The suicide bombing, which took the lives of 13 members of the US Armed Forces, happed while evacuations of Americans and Afghan allies were underway during the final days of the 20-year war in that nation.
Director of MRC Latino, Jorge Bonilla posted the interview with Pardo-Maurer said the Department of Defense also knew "where and when" the attack would happen. He said that "a Predator drone had a lock on him," and that the DOD "refused to grant permission to fire upon that bomber."
He said that permission "was requested and was denied." In Pardo-Maurer's view, the reason for this denial is "Because we are in this process of negotiating with the Taliban, who aren't even in control of their own government or their own people."

JoeJill Biden is not taking any responsibility and never will take any responsibility.
The first thing he did was claim the evacuation was a unanimous decision made by all of his advisers.
In other words, it was a total fuck up, but others made the decision for him and he had to go along.
The feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap should be put in prison. No 25th Amendment or Impeachment bullshit, straight to prison for lying to the country and causing the death of innocent Americans.

What's really puzzling is that the JC would have managed this.
Does Biden just order pull out and leave it all behind?
Do the JCs say, wait we can't do that because we will be arming them?
Was it part of the agreement originally set up?
I find it hard to believe the JC would go along with leaving all that stuff behind.
I talked to a retired gunny Sargent friend of mind and he had no answer for it. He said there are specific protocols when leaving to destroy all that equipment.
I would really like to know how the fuck this all happened.

Posted on 9/6/2021, 2:17:22 AM by blueplum
...The White House and State Department have maintained that they hold leverage over the Taliban... but a senior congressional source told CBS News that the Taliban is basically holding the planes "hostage" so they can "get more out of the Americans."...
...Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Tex.), the ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, agrees. He told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday that he's concerned that U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad will come away from the talks recommending that the Biden administration acknowledge the Taliban as the legitimate government...

4 ex-Guantanamo Bay Inmates Obama Freed in Exchange for Army Deserter Bowe Bergdahl Named as Top Commanders in Afghanistan's New Taliban Government
Daily Mail UK ^ | 9/7/21, updated 9/8/21 | By Keith Griffith and Rob Crilly
Posted on 9/8/2021, 7:44:12 AM by sevinufnine
Four top members of the Taliban's new interim government are former Guantanamo Bay prisoners who were freed by the Obama administration in a prisoner exchange for Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl. They were members of the hardline 'Guantanamo Five' who were traded to free Bergdahl from the Taliban-aligned Haqqani network in 2014. The Taliban on Tuesday announced the appointment of Acting Director of Intelligence Abdul Haq Wasiq, Acting Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs Norullah Noori, Deputy Defense Minister Mohammad Fazl, and Acting Minister of Information and Culture Khairullah Khairkhah. The four men, who also took part in direct negotiations with the US at the Doha summit last year, spent about 13 years in the military prison camp before they were freed in a trade for the admitted deserter, who was captured by insurgents after wandering off his post.

State Dept. voices concerns over all-male Taliban government
The Hill ^ | 09/07/2021 | CELINE CASTRONUOVO
Posted on 9/8/2021, 6:46:02 AM by DFG
The State Department on Tuesday expressed concerns over the makeup of the new interim Afghan government announced by the Taliban, including the lack of female leaders and the past actions of some of those appointed to top posts.
A State Department spokesperson said in a statement shared with The Hill that although the Taliban “has presented this as a caretaker cabinet,” the U.S. “will judge the Taliban by its actions, not words.”
“We have made clear our expectation that the Afghan people deserve an inclusive government,” the spokesperson added.
The statement went on to note that the list of names announced by the Taliban earlier Tuesday “consists exclusively of individuals who are members of the Taliban or their close associates and no women.”
The announced leaders come after the Taliban last month specifically called on women to join government offices in an apparent attempt to portray itself as a more moderate version of the group that previously enforced extreme laws on women and girls, including preventing them from going to school and barring them from leaving their homes unless they were accompanied by a man.

The administration seems to be acting with malice aforethought
American Thinker ^ | 8 Sep, 2021 | Terry Paulding
Posted on 9/8/2021, 7:07:21 AM
It’s difficult to accept that we’re seeing mere incompetence with an administration that defiantly gets everything wrong.
A legal term, malice aforethought identifies intentional murder or malicious bodily harm. From the election to COVID policy, to how we left Afghanistan, to inflation and the budget, to energy policy, to our lawless border, there is no way our entire U.S. government is stupid enough to make so many grievous policy decisions without malice and planning. They’re throwing ingredients into the stew pot to create socialism and it’s a very unsavory dish.
I am not a ‘conspiracy theorist,’ because what I see is real—although leftists use the term against anyone sounding the alarm on any alarming event. From Hunter’s laptop to the election, to the border crisis, to the Delta variant and vaccination, anyone who has questioned the integrity of our government is a “conspiracy theorist.” We have bent over backward to avoid these labels. No longer! Our country is being destroyed, and yes, it is a conspiracy or a series of them. There is simply no other explanation.
The entire COVID fiasco was cooked up in a lab Anthony Fauci fund with taxpayer dollars in China, our number one political, financial, and social enemy. What better way to eliminate freedom and privacy in our country? The “curve” wasn’t meant to be flattened. Easy, effective treatments for COVID were banned. The death count rose in a satisfactorily alarming manner. Hospitals filled; everyone stayed home, losing a year-and-a-half of life, livelihood, and school; and we hid our shameful faces behind masks. Ask yourself, who loses and who benefits?
If we used early treatment with repurposed, cheap drugs, which would have helped people under 70 without co-morbidities survive, we wouldn’t need the vaccine, except for the elderly and those with other health risks.

Another Biden **ck-Up:US drone strike that Pentagon said killed Kabul suicide bomber actually 'killed aid worker and seven children who ran to greet him when he arrived home’
Daily Mail ^ | 10 September 2021 | Keith Griffith
Posted on 9/11/2021, 7:46:38 AM by Apparatchik
The drone strike that the Pentagon claimed killed an ISIS-K suicide bomber in Kabul actually targeted an aid worker who had filled his car with water jugs, rather than explosives, according to a shocking new report.
Zemari Ahmadi, 43, was driving the 1996 Toyota Corolla that was destroyed in the August 29 drone strike, killing him and nine family members, including seven children, according to a New York Times investigation.
The Pentagon still maintains that only three civilians died, despite the family now detailing in the new report how their 10 relatives were killed in the blast.
Days after the attack, President Joe Biden gave a speech in which he marked the withdrawal of American troops in Afghanistan by the August 31 deadline. He touted America's ability to strike terrorists and targets without boots on the ground. But he failed to mention the high civilian casualty rate from the August 29 drone strike, and he failed to mention that children had been killed.

Mark Milley's Perception Warfare Deserves a Leavenworth Long Course
Townhall.com ^ | September 22, 2021 | Austin Bay
Posted on 9/22/2021, 8:29:56 AM by Kaslin
Beltway raconteur Bob Woodward has a track record for sensationalizing gossip in order to create buzz and sell books.
In American high schools and the Washington Beltway -- is there a difference? -- "buzz" is a term for manipulating emotional and social responses to achieve a goal. Woodward? He wants to sell books and demonstrate he matters, years after Watergate made him a Washington Post legend.
In the case of high school, the buzz creators are usually Mean Girls decapitating Nice Girl rivals or punishing boys and girls who ignore or abhor Mean Girl deceits, scams and deceptions.
Washington? Hey, in the Beltway, Mean Girl is an asexual term for a power-mad, self-serving politician practicing perception warfare, no matter the on-the-ground reality (Afghanistan; Haitians under a Del Rio bridge), no matter the cost to American taxpayers, no matter the damage to American national security.
Woodward and co-author Robert Costa have a new book out named "Peril." According to their buzz, the authors claim that shortly after the Jan. 6 Washington semi-riot, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley was so deeply concerned by President Donald Trump's behavior he decided he simply had to -- absolutely had to -- take personal action outside the chain of command in order to prevent an out-of-control Trump from starting a nuclear war or whatever against Communist China.
Since Woodward and Costa's publicists started buzzing, Milley has acknowledged something happened.
The something: One of Milley's public affairs officers, Col. David Butler, said that Milley's "calls with the Chinese and others in October and January were in keeping with (his) duties and responsibilities conveying reassurance in order to maintain strategic stability."
Col. Butler's something sounds like a concession, though note he employs bureaucratic rhetorical camouflage -- a classic perception warfare technique. Still, Butler admits Milley spoke with senior Chinese military officers. Missing in action: the subject Milley addressed was potential U.S. military action against the nation that is America's most potent adversary. More missing facts: Milley spoke to the Chinese officers without approval from Trump. Reflect for a moment and it sounds like Milley acted on his own self-serving Hollywood script, not on evidence Trump was preparing to start a war.
The Beltway is a vicious high school of a sort, but unfortunately its viciousness isn't Mean Girls wrestling with fantasy crises. In Milley's case, we're confronting the abrogation of the constitutional order of the military under civilian control and ultimately the U.S. military's duty to defend America regardless of the party or personality of the president.
Fact for Milley: Senior Chinese military officers are members of the Chinese Communist Party. Tiananmen Square. Hong Kong absorption. Uighur genocide. The Chinese military is a Party tool, Mark, a violent tool.
Milley's short-sighted and, I argue, savvily self-serving action weakened U.S. national security and put the U.S. constitutional system at risk.
Milley's actions are another example of the destructive perception warfare waged against the American people by powerful Beltway elites -- and the worst examples of this war are perpetrated by power elites in the Democratic Party, to include resident Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.
It's a benevolent coincidence that last week Special Counsel John Durham indicted former Hillary Clinton campaign paid lawyer Michael Sussman. The Clinton campaign's Russia collusion lie compromised and ultimately sacrificed the FBI's counterintelligence security function and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court's credibility to Hillary's personal political goals. Her goals superseded American security. Hillary's collusion crock was hatched to distract from her criminal abuse of classified information. The payoff for some of the actors? According to Durham's indictment, positions in her administration. For the New York Times and Washington Post? Media Pulitzers for pushing a total lie.
Mark Milley violated constitutional order and subverted the chain of command. Why? His goal doesn't matter, but here's my guess: to secure the largesse of Biden and the Beltway media.
Try Milley by court martial, convict and sentence him to Fort Leavenworth's Long Course. At Leavenworth, he can discuss perception warfare with his sledge while he whacks a rock.

TDS infected everything.
You had people who never followed politics hanging on every word, believing every false story, and losing friends in real life.
Media would rush to everything, put out half truths or blatant lies, big tech would censor without any valid reason.
They would do anything to get Trump out of office and thought that would make everything OK.
It was an odd time.

That was no mistake. They KNEW EXACTLY what they were doing and just wanted to create a quick lie - "We got an ISIS k" knowing full well it was a lie and they could say later "it was a mistake". Fvckn Barbarians.

The media made these things "facts".
Take "very fine people".....It was debunked within hours, the transcripts were there, it was obvious he meant the statue debate and specifically condemned white supremacy.
Yet, it was tweeted as fact for years, hollywood idiots, media etc...
Then, Biden kicked off his campaign with it in a tweet.
Then, Wallace brought it up in the debate......
And it hasn't stopped.
And it was a massive Trump mistake at the debate....he could have ended it, but just said "read the transcript". The problem was, anyone who got their news from mainstream media and cable, never heard of the transcript.

Why didn't Trumptard get all of our citizens out BEFORE he agreed to withdraw our troops
Also, Why did Trumptard agree to let 5000 Taliban out of prison last year ...again before getting our citizens and allies out

Trump said Biden couldn't stop the agreement the he signed in 2020
Are Trumptards now saying that Trump is lying in this clip?

‘Biden Lied’: President Blasted After Top Generals Directly Contradict What Biden Said About Afghanistan
By Daily Wire News
Sep 28, 2021 DailyWire.com
President Joe Biden faced backlash on Tuesday after top U.S. military leaders, testifying in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee, directly contradicted what Biden told the American public during an interview over the summer amidst the U.S.’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, and head of U.S. Central Command Gen. Kenneth McKenzie gave their testimonies under oath in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee over Biden’s chaotic pullout from Afghanistan last month.
Biden faced widespread criticism, comparing his prior remarks, made during an interview back in August with ABC News host George Stephanopoulos, with statements the generals gave today — statements which appeared to directly contradict what Biden said.
Numerous top Republicans online wrote that “Biden lied.”
Biden had the following exchange with Stephanopoulos on August 19th:
STEPHANOPOULOS: So no one told — your military advisors did not tell you, ‘No, we should just keep 2,500 troops. It’s been a stable situation for the last several years. We can do that. We can continue to do that’?
BIDEN: No. No one said that to me that I can recall. Look, George, the reason why it’s been stable for a year is because the last president said, ‘We’re leaving. And here’s the deal I wanna make with you, Taliban. We’re agreeing to leave if you agree not to attack us between now and the time we leave on May the 1st.’
WATCH:
McKenzie said that the recommendation that he gave to Biden was “shaped” by his honest opinion of the situation in Afghanistan, which was that the U.S. needed to “maintain 2,500 troops in Afghanistan” and that pulling out those forces would “lead inevitably to the collapse of the Afghan military forces and eventually the Afghan government.”
Milley later said that he agreed with that assessment.
Milley and McKenzie made the remarks during the following exchange with Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK):
INHOFE: But I’d ask General McKenzie, did you agree to the recommendation that General Miller had two weeks ago?
MCKENZIE: Senator, again, I won’t I won’t share my personal recommendation to the President. But I will give you my honest opinion. And my honest opinion and view shaped my recommendation. I recommended that we maintain 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. And I also recommended earlier in the fall of 2020, that we maintain 4,500 at that time, those are my personal views. I also have a view that the withdrawal of those forces would lead inevitably to the collapse of the Afghan military forces and eventually the Afghan government.
INHOFE: Yes, I understand that. And General Milley, I assume you agree with that in terms of the recommendation of 2,500.
MILLEY: What I said in my opening statement, and the memoranda that I wrote back in the fall of 2020, remained consistent. And I do agree with that.
INHOFE: This committee is unsure as to whether or not general Miller’s recommendation ever got to the President. You know, obviously, they’re conversations with the President. But I would like to ask even though, General McKenzie, I think you’ve all made the statement. Did you talk to the President about general Miller’s recommendation?
MCKENZIE: Sir, I was present when that discussion occurred. And I’m confident that the President heard all the recommendations and listened to him very thoughtfully.
Inhofe’s question about Gen. Austin Miller, the Commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan from 2018 through July of this year, is in reference to reports that Miller “strongly dissented with the intel assessment that Afghanistan would fall to the Taliban between 1-3 years, saying he thought it would go much, much faster.”
Miller also reportedly told Congress in a classified briefing that the U.S. needed to maintain 2,500 troops on the ground in Afghanistan.
Austin later said that Biden heard “this input.”

Between Afghanistan and Immigration, Have We Ever Had a Less Competent President?
Townhall.com ^ | October 1, 2021 | Neil Patel
There's always press coverage about Republican mismanagement or Republicans getting into trouble governing as ideologues, but you don't hear much about the reverse. There's a lot to critique about Republicans, but for mismanagement and for blindly putting ideology above all else, resident Joe Biden may be the all-time champ.
Biden campaigned as a pragmatist who could bring stability and national unification. His inaugural address was all about these themes. America needs some level of national healing more than anything else. Americans can't go on at each other's throats. The country is falling apart.
Biden deserved praise for starting his presidency with a message of healing. I did an entire column to compliment him for it.
Since taking office, however, Biden has not made any effort to back up his pledge. He has governed not just as a wild-eyed ideologue but as an incompetent one, too. America is paying the price. If any Republican president tried to implement such an extremist agenda, the press would hammer it daily. The press likes Biden's left-wing policies, so they downplay the radical nature of what we are going through and cover the incompetence with a light touch, if at all.
On Afghanistan, pretty much all of America wanted out. What most Americans wanted, though, was a safe exit that considered America's long-term security needs. Biden's agenda was driven by the desire to have everything finished by the 20-year anniversary of 9/11. It's hard to imagine that symbolism drove the entire agenda for such an important matter, but looking at the facts, that's all you can conclude. Biden risked countless American lives and harmed long-term security, essentially for a photo op.

Biden risked countless American lives and harmed long-term security, essentially for a photo op.
Trump responded to this crisis with a few policies that worked. Most prominent is the "Remain in Mexico" program, launched in January 2019, which required that asylum-seekers wait in Mexico for the entire duration of their immigration court proceedings. This policy eliminated the possibility of "catch and release," where migrants are able to escape into the interior of our country after claiming asylum. After implementing "Remain in Mexico" and a few other innovative policies, border enforcement operations dropped over 70% from their peak of 144,000 in May 2019. It wasn't perfect, but some form of order was restored at our southern border.
Biden came in and rescinded all these Trump policies. He did so on purely ideological grounds. That's his right as president, but he did it with no plan in place of his own. The results have been a complete mess. After dropping to a low of 17,000 monthly encounters under Trump, Border Patrol is back up to a record 200,000-plus border encounters per month under Biden.
To be clear, the U.S. government has no idea how many people are successfully crossing the border. That number has to be in the millions. The government only knows for sure how many people their agents deal with per month.
At the levels today, it's fair to say that the United States effectively has an open southern border. This means it's open season for gangs, terrorists and drug dealers to cross almost at will. The deadly fentanyl pouring into America is just one side effect of this insanity. Another side effect is average Americans are now more anti-immigrant than ever before. There are thousands of immigrants with amazing skills who want to come here. They can't. The legal immigration system is broken. Skilled immigrants can only come if indentured to an American company, and even then, our system is so difficult that many choose Canada or other places who vie for their skills. There is no appetite in America to fix this broken system because the insane border policies have driven many Americans to just want to say no to all of it.
It's not clear if Biden is too out of it to manage America effectively or if his staff is too ideological to make sound decisions or both. What is clear is America is suffering through amazing levels of self-inflicted crises on Joe Biden's watch.

Nearly 50 Sacramento-area students remain trapped in Afghanistan. When will they be rescued?
BY SAWSAN MORRAR AND JASON POHL
UPDATED SEPTEMBER 26, 2021
Sacramento-area school districts are still identifying more students stranded in Afghanistan under Taliban rule, weeks after the U.S. completed its withdrawal from the country.
San Juan Unified School District officials last week said 41 students were trapped in Afghanistan — a sharp increase from the two-dozen-or-so the district had previously identified. Of the 41 kids, three were evacuated over the weekend from the war-torn country but remain overseas, district officials said.
Sacramento City Unified officials last week said eight students are stranded in Afghanistan. Initially, they’d identified just one family who The Sacramento Bee interviewed. Attendance records as the school year has progressed showed more students were missing, and staff traced their whereabouts to the country.
Principal Nate McGill of Ethel I. Baker Elementary school has been involved in getting the students out. He texts with family members and has been coordinating staff members who are trying to cobble together a plan.
But, he said, progress has been slow. Sometimes it feels nonexistent.
There were two options on the table at the start of last week. The first involved paying about $2,500 to get the family a flight from Kabul to Islamabad, across the border in Pakistan. That fell through because the family didn’t qualify for visas into that country at the time, McGill said.
Then, later in the week, another option was under discussion. A person from a third-party group that has connections to the country read The Bee’s reporting. Reporters put them in touch with McGill. The group has since been in contact with the family and is working to get them out. If they can get across the border, McGill said he and a handful of others from the Sacramento area will pay for the flight to get them back to the U.S.
“This is like a back-up, sort of secret-ops plan,” McGill said.
It’s unclear if that plan is still on the table or when they might be given a green light.
In the chaotic month since the Taliban stormed into Kabul, uncertainty has increased by the day, both for Sacramento families who remain in Afghanistan and those on the ground here trying to get them out. Some families were turned away from evacuation flights, and others were near the blast at the Kabul airport, where Sacramento-area students witnessed violence, gunfire and bombings that killed scores of people, according to Sacramento City Unified officials.

The Biden Admin Said It Left 100 Americans in Afghanistan. They Now Admit It’s Far More.
The Biden administration is in touch with nearly 400 Americans who are stranded in Afghanistan, a figure that far exceeds the administration's claims that about 100 Americans were left in the nation following the United States' hurried exit from Kabul, according to a senior congressional source who was briefed Thursday by the State Department.
With Afghanistan in the administration's rear-view mirror, U.S. officials are providing exact figures on the number of Americans who are still stranded and want to leave—although they are doing so in private, off-the-record forums—according to two senior congressional aides, who relayed the contents of the non-public call to the Washington Free Beacon.
The United States is in touch with 363 Americans who are stuck in war-torn Afghanistan and around 176 U.S. permanent residents who are asking to be evacuated immediately, Biden administration officials said on the call with congressional staff, according to the source, who requested anonymity to discuss non-public information. These figures demonstrate that senior Biden administration officials routinely misrepresented the number of stranded Americans to the public and Congress for nearly two months.
The State Department further claims to have airlifted 218 U.S. citizens and 131 long-term permanent residents out of Afghanistan since Aug. 31, when senior Biden administration officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and White House press secretary Jen Psaki, were publicly claiming that "around 100" Americans were still stuck in the nation. Psaki, for instance, said last month that only "a handful of American citizens" were trying to leave Afghanistan after the United States pulled its forces. The figures presented in Thursday’s briefing indicate the administration was citing the "around 100" talking point while privately being aware of nearly 600 Americans still inside Afghanistan.
The information presented in the call stunned participants and fueled accusations that the Biden administration lied about the dire situation in order to avoid public scrutiny of its rushed evacuation from Afghanistan that was widely seen as disastrous and ill-prepared.

Islamic State Attack on Kabul Military Hospital Kills at Least 23
WSJ ^ | Nov. 2, 2021 2:28 pm ET | By Yaroslav Trofimov
Posted on 11/2/2021, 3:11:06 PM by BenLurkin
Islamic State militants stormed Afghanistan’s main military hospital, now housing injured Taliban fighters and veterans of the former Afghan military, and killed at least 23 people in the latest eruption of violence since the country’s U.S.-backed government collapsed in mid-August.
Though there was no immediate claim of responsibility, the Taliban’s chief spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, said that five Islamic State militants participated in Tuesday’s complex attack and were all killed. The extremist group has intensified the tempo of strikes against Taliban targets and the country’s Shiite minority in recent weeks. It stormed the same hospital, in Kabul’s Wazir Akbar Khan neighborhood, in 2017.

'This is your bride...please don't beat her': Heart-breaking moment Afghan father pleads with 55-year-old man as he is forced to sell his daughter, aged NINE, to him so he can buy food
The Daily Mail ^ | 2 November 2021 | Rachel Bunyan
Posted on 11/2/2021, 1:55:39 PM by Tired of Taxes
An Afghan father who has been forced to sell his nine-year-old daughter to a 55-year-old man as a child bride so he can buy food has pleaded for his child's new husband not to beat her.
Parwana Malik, nine, is being sold by her parents to a stranger who the youngster describes as an 'old man' due to his white beard and eyebrows.
On the day Parwana was taken away by her 55-year-old buyer, Qorban, her weeping father, Abdul Malik, pleaded for him to not hurt his child, reports CNN.
Abdul, who is 'broken' with guilt, broke down in tears as he told Qorban: 'This is your bride. Please take care of her. You are responsible now, please don't beat her.'
Parwana's family said they had no choice, and are among scores of destitute families who being forced to sell their young daughters into marriage to survive, as Afghanistan plunges further into a humanitarian crisis.
One girl, aged 10, spends her days crying as she waits for the day she is sold to a 70-year-old man to help her family pay off their debts.
Another nine-member family is preparing to sell their four-year-old and nine-year-old daughters to have enough money for food.
Parwana and her family have been living in an Afghan displacement camp in northwestern Badghis province for the past four years. They have survived on humanitarian aid and work which earns them around £2 a day.
But since the Taliban took over Afghanistan in August, the country's economy is on the brink of collapse and international humanitarian aid has been put on hold - and the effects are deeply felt by families such as Parwana's who cannot buy basic goods such as food.
Abdul was forced to sell Parwana's 12-year-old sister months ago to help his family survive.

Deadly US drone strike in Kabul did not break law, Pentagon says
A US drone strike that killed 10 Afghan civilians was an error that did not violate any laws, a Pentagon inspector said following an investigation.
"It was an honest mistake," US Air Force Inspector Lieutenant General Sami Said told reporters.
The strike on 29 August killed three adults, including a man who worked for a US aid group, and seven children.
It took place as Western nations attempted to evacuate Afghans after the Taliban took control of the country.
The youngest child to be killed was two-year-old Sumaya, and the eldest 12-year-old Farzad, the family told the BBC.
Speaking shortly afterwards Ramin Yousufi, a relative, said it had been a "brutal attack" based on "wrong information".
"Why have they killed our family? Our children? They are so burned out we cannot identify their bodies, their faces," he said.
Lt Gen Said said there had been "execution errors, combined with confirmation bias and communications breakdowns" that led to "regrettable civilian casualties".
But he said an investigation had found "no violation of law, including the Law of War".
"It's not criminal conduct, random conduct, negligence," he added.

This essay examines how the poorly negotiated US-Taliban agreement undermined the Afghan government and institutions and facilitated the Taliban’s rise to power in August 2021. The rush to conclude a deal with the Taliban undermined US counterterrorism interests and emboldened hard-liners within the Taliban movement. The United States must recommit to human rights and counterterrorism in Afghanistan and avoid rewarding the Taliban with diplomatic recognition until they have earned it.
