Biden On Catastrophic Afghanistan Withdrawal As US Citizens Were Left Behind - "I Was Right"

‘I Was Right’: Biden Chews Out Reporter Questioning Him On Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal Report

....President Joe Biden lashed out at a reporter Friday after he was questioned about a State Department report on the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.....A State Department after-action report released Friday said that Secretary of State Antony Blinken had no idea who was in charge of the department’s efforts during the operation, hampering its efforts. The investigation into the chaotic withdrawal began in October 2021, with over 150 former or current officials in the State Department.... Biden attacked his own administration late this week for saying that his actions in Afghanistan in 2021 led to “serious consequences” and failures as U.S. forces pulled out from the country....The report from the U.S. State Department said that the decision “to end the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan had serious consequences for the viability of the Afghan government and its security.”....The report found that “there was insufficient senior-level consideration of worst-case scenarios and how quickly those might follow” and that the administration “failed to establish a broader task force as the situation in Afghanistan deteriorated in late July and early August 2021.”

.....The evacuation was marked by 13 American military personnel being killed in a bombing as American forces were evacuating from Kabul, and 10 civilians were killed in a retaliatory drone strike. Republicans ripped the Biden administration over the withdraw....“All the evidence – remember what I said about Afghanistan? I said we would get help from the Taliban,” Biden said in response to a question from a reporter about the State Department report after he spoke about the Supreme Court’s decision striking down his proposal to cancel student loan debt. “What is happening now? What’s going on? Read your press. I was right. Thanks.”....The botched evacuation led to calls for Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley to resign. A Senate report claimed as many as 9,000 American citizens were left behind.....

Taliban Seize U.S. Weapons in Afghanistan, Stockpiling Helicopters, Guns and Trucks

The most recent quarterly report of the U.S.-led military coalition documented deliveries of 174 Humvees, nearly three million rounds of ammunition, and nearly 100,000 2.75-inch rockets during the period. The U.S. has also transferred anti-tank missiles, automatic grenade launchers, mortars and rocket-propelled grenades to Afghan forces. In all, Washington has spent more than $80 billion over 20 years on the Afghan forces, government auditors have said.

Tanks, attack helicopters, drones, bullets: What the arms left behind by U.S. mean for the Taliban

“Weapon systems that are noticeable, like anti-tank guided weapons or man-portable air-defense systems, or easily recognizable and associable with the U.S. offer propaganda opportunities even if they would be less favored in the field,” The greater concern, Spleeters said, is that the arms could filter through to other militant groups in Afghanistan — with or without the Taliban’s approval. He pointed to what happened in Iraq, Syria and Yemen, where arms that the U.S. supplied to proxy groups often wound up in the hands of factions hostile to the U.S. “The bottom line is that once you supply weapons to parties in conflict you open a Pandora’s box. These weapons will eventually end up in other hands,” Spleeters said. “It’s like a blank check....”

Biden must rescue thousands of U.S. citizens trapped in Afghanistan

Several congressional staffers told me that American citizens in Kabul have been flooding their office’s phone lines, complaining that after being told on Sunday by the State Department to shelter in place and not to come to the embassy or the airport, they have not received any further information and are scared for their lives.

American weapons looted by Taliban likely to be first used for violence in Pakistan before reaching India: Indian officers

Senior military officers said the weapons are expected to be provided to terror groups operating in India as well but the security forces are fully prepared to tackle those who would attempt to use them here.

Saudi Arabia’s former intel chief calls weapons proliferation risk in Afghanistan very worrying as terror threat grows

“We’ve seen the Russian ambassador, Chinese ambassador, Iranian ambassador and Pakistani ambassador not only remaining in Kabul, but making statements about future relations with the Taliban,” he said. “There is something going on between the Taliban and these countries about where they’re going to go in the future,” he said.  China was among the first countries that expressed willingness to engage with the Taliban when it swept to power in Afghanistan, seeking to pick up where America left off.

U.S.-made weapons seized by Taliban could lead to regional arms bazaar

“I have full confidence that some of this equipment is going to end up in the hands of al Qaeda and other bad actors, it's inevitable,” said Colin Clarke, director of policy and research at The Soufan Group. “This is not going to just end with the Taliban.” The volume of U.S. military assistance over the past two decades is staggering, with $83 billion spent to train and equip an army that after years of heavy battlefield losses, finally melted away.

Desperate mothers reported to throw babies over Kabul airport barbed wire

In some cases, desperate women resorted to throwing their own babies over barbed wire to British soldiers inside the airport, Sky News reported. The United Kingdom-based outlet quoted an unnamed officer as saying that not all of those attempts were successful. “It was terrible, women were throwing their babies over the razor wire, asking the soldiers to take them, some got caught in the wire,” he said. “I’m worried for my men, I’m counseling some, everyone cried last night.”

Family forced to pay to ship body of Marine killed after Pentagon policy change: 'Egregious injustice'

..... "enraged to learn that the Department of Defense had placed a heavy financial burden" on the family of Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole L. Gee, who were forced to find funding in the thousands to move her body to its final resting place after her 2021 death in Afghanistan. The Gee family secured the funding, which came to "a staggering $60,000," to move their loved one's body after a nonprofit organization stepped in to cover the cost....

...the Defense Department to decline to pay for transport of the body was made possible by an amendment to last year's National Defense Authorization Act, which states that the secretary of Defense may provide a fallen service member's next of kin "a commercial air travel use waiver for the transportation of deceased remains of a military member who dies inside a theater of combat operations.".....Gee's remains were initially flown to her hometown of Roseville, California, for a ceremony, but the responsibility for transporting Gee to her final resting place at Arlington National Cemetery would fall on the family. Honoring Our Fallen, a nonprofit dedicated to assisting the families of fallen American service members, stepped up to help the family move Gee via private jet to Virginia.....

Bowe Bergdahl court-martial conviction for Army desertion thrown out by federal judge

.....A former U.S. Army soldier who pleaded guilty to desertion after leaving his post while deployed in Afghanistan and was subsequently captured and tortured by the Taliban had his court-martial conviction vacated Tuesday. .....The ruling by U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton in Washington D.C. said that military judge Jeffrey Nance, who presided over the court-martial of Bowe Bergdahl, failed to disclose that he had applied to the executive branch for a job as an immigration judge, creating a potential conflict of interest.....Walton noted that former President Trump criticized Bergdahl during the 2016 presidential campaign. Bergdahl's lawyers argued that the criticism placed command influence on Nance. ....

.....It was not clear if the ruling could possibly result in the reinstatement of rank or change of status for Bargdahl's dishonorable discharge.....Bergdahl, from Hailey, Idaho, pleaded guilty in 2017 to desertion. He was spared prison time but was dishonorably discharged from the military and had his rank reduced to private, as well as the forfeiture of $10,000 in pay. ....In 2009, he walked away from his post in Afghanistan and was captured by the Taliban and held for five years. Some of his fellow soldiers were injured trying to find him....In 2014, then-President Barack Obama brought Bergdahl home in a controversial prison exchange for five Taliban prisoners....

This dismissal is squarely on the shoulders of Trump. His comments, as well as trying to get the judge a job in his administration, created blatant conflicts of interest.

I don’t know enough to say if Bergdahl deserved punishment or not. But if he did, Trump’s incompetence made sure he won’t be punished.

For Afghanistan, former senior advisor Susan Rice was put in charge. The same Rice known during the Clinton Administration for enabling the Rwandan Genocide. 

1) Billions of dollars of high tech weapons, equipment and assets were left to the Taliban, ISIS and other terrorist groups in the region. Paid with our tax dollars. To kill future generations of American soldiers in years to come, and to be sold in the weapons black market to terrorist organizations all over the world

2) Included in that cache of weapons were MANPADs. Anti-aircraft missiles that can fired anywhere using a simple two man team on the ground. When Joe Biden traded Viktor Bout, a known worldwide arms dealer, for Brittney Griner, he set out into the wild the best immediate access point to convert those weapons into the black market. Think about that the next time you get into an airplane. Or your children. Or someone you love. 

3) Estimates are that 17-19 million  Afghanistan women and young girls were then subject to being "war brides" Essentially left to be gang raped and sodomized as the "spoils of war" 

4) Promises were made to locals in country that were not fulfilled. Those people were betrayed. This causes a cascading toxic impact on all US intelligence agencies and assets. You leave people to be raped and executed, it becomes impossible to gather and maintain practical information sources vital to actual national security.

5) The Taliban immediately cut a deal with Xi Jinping and the CCP. So the Chinese government can mine out what is projected to be the 2nd largest lithium deposits in the entire world.  Amid rare Earth mineral assets worth somewhere in the region of a trillion and a half dollars. James Biden, Joe's brother, along with Hunter Biden, set up huge deals with Chinese businesses known as pure fronts for the CCP, for EV battery production, that relies on these precious minerals. 

6) The Taliban and other terrorist groups in country immediately negotiated with Mexican drug cartels. The same ones getting production grade "precursor" from the CCP to ship through the open US border and pump endless fentanyl into our country. The same drug cartels that got weapon, again with our tax dollars, from Operation Fast and Furious, helmed by Obama, Eric Holder and Joe Biden. 

7) The Afghanistan disaster under Biden impacts military recruiting, which is already under heavy stress to try meet current recruiting/replacement goals. Doing gutless toxic crap like checking your watch while fallen soldiers are having their caskets transported in front of you isn't going to entice young people to join up. 

What's the "end of story" here? 

Biden managed to arm terrorists with our tax dollars, help the drug cartels become more profitable, enable terrorist groups all over the globe by jacking up the availability of our own weapons, create the pathway for a new alliance with the CCP, Taliban and drug cartels in Mexico, enabled gang rape of little brown girls as they are sold off to be "wives" as the spoils of war, put actual anti-aircraft missiles in droves ( again paid with our tax dollars) to be funneled by the most notorious arms dealer in the entire world that he released, make American more reliant on China for our energy production/domestic fleet logistical structure, spiked the worldwide opium and heroin trade almost immediately, damaged military recruiting and morale, abandoned close to 1.5 trillion in rare Earth minerals, and guaranteed more fentanyl will now be pumped into American cities non stop. 

Everyone's looking forward to the point where you'll be permanently banned from these forums. Obviously you just can't get along with anyone here. You chose not to do it. 

"Check your watch" like Joe Biden, it's a question of when and not if.

So you think Trump's plan was to bring all that equipment back to the US?  Trump set the timetable you know.

So you disagree with Trump and think we should continue to stay in Afghanistan for the good of the women and children?  I guess then you think the US should be everywhere in the world where women are abused?
