Two years later, people are still paying the price for the catastrophe of Old Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. And people will be paying the price for decades to come.
The Associated Press reported on August 22 that “more than 200 extrajudicial killings of former Afghan government officials and security forces have taken place since the Taliban took over the country two years ago, according to a U.N. report.” These were people the Taliban had promised not to kill, but as Muhammad said, “War is deceit” (Bukhari 4.52.268). Nine days before that, the Daily Mail reported that “militants who left fingerprints on IEDs meant to kill Americans in Afghanistan and a prisoner freed by the Taliban were among more than 65 terrorists allowed into the United States after the catastrophic withdrawal.” What could possibly go wrong? Celebrate diversity!
Jihadis beyond Afghanistan, meanwhile, are benefiting from the $7.2 billion of military equipment the U.S. left behind for the Taliban. Nikkei Asia reported last March that “modern weapons and sophisticated night vision devices left behind by U.S.-led coalition forces withdrawing from Afghanistan and fleeing Afghan troops are being used by Pakistani Taliban militants to intensify attacks on law enforcement.” Jihadis in Kashmir have the best U.S. weaponry as well.
Emblematic of the mishandling of the entire withdrawal from Afghanistan was the fact that the Islamic State jihadist who murdered 13 American service members and numerous Afghans in a suicide bombing at the Kabul airport in August 2021 had just been released from prison at Bagram Air Base, the center of American operations in Afghanistan until the U.S. precipitously and irresponsibly abandoned it in July of the same year. U.S. snipers had him in their sights but were ordered not to shoot.
CNN reported that the bomber, Abdul Rehman Al-Loghri, was part of “ISIS-K,” that is, the Islamic State’s Khorasan group in central Asia, and that he had “been released from a prison near Kabul just days earlier when the Taliban took control of the area, according to three US officials.”
Al-Loghri had been held in the Parwan prison at Bagram Air Base, along with around 5,000 other prisoners, including several hundred members of ISIS, as well as Taliban and al-Qaeda jihadis. In July 2021, according to the Associated Press, “the U.S. left Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base’s new Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans’ departure more than two hours after they left.”
When the Taliban rolled into Kabul, they entered Bagram without encountering any significant opposition and opened the gates of the Parwan prison. Al-Loghri and many other jihadists walked free. Then on August 26, 2021, al-Loghri blew himself up at the Kabul airport, murdering eleven Marines, as well as one member of the Army and one of the Navy.
Contrary to Old Joe Biden’s claims that every contingency had been provided for, this was a catastrophe brought on by a lack of planning and foresight. In June 2021, General McKenzie gave an interview to Military Times in which he declared: “We have workable plans to evacuate any scale of people that we would be directed to do. That’s one of the things that we have done. I’ve talked to the secretary about it.” After the Biden regime spent nearly two years denying and evading responsibility for what happened, however, in June 2023 a review of the withdrawal was released that finally admitted, in a summary from The Hill, that “senior officials did not prepare for worst-case scenarios nor appreciate how quickly the situation could devolve; key leadership roles were not empowered with authority; and firmly held policy positions failed to take into account dissenting opinions.” What a surprise.
How many might have been saved if there had been even a modicum of strategic savvy, competence and patriotism among the commander-in-chief and his top military officers?
What were the high ranks of the military doing while they should have been preparing for a safe and successful withdrawal? In June 2021, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) questioned General Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a Congressional hearing about an ongoing effort to saddle U.S. military personnel with mandatory readings and briefings on the topic of Critical Race Theory (CRT). Milley situated his interest in CRT as part of an investigation of the causes of the bogus January 6 “insurrection,” taking for granted the false claim that the Capitol incident, and support for Trump in general, was rooted in “white supremacism”: “I want to understand white rage, and I’m white, and I want to understand it. So what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? What caused that? I want to find that out.”
Milley and the rest of the woke military brass could have spent less time studying Critical Race Theory and imposing it on the troops as a way of weeding out Trump supporters from the ranks, and more time doing their actual jobs. Had they done so, they might have realized how foolish it was to steal away from Bagram in the dead of night. They could even have used the base as a rallying point for Americans in Afghanistan who wanted to leave the country, getting them out in a safe and orderly manner instead of the Saigon-on-steroids nightmare that a horrified world witnessed at Kabul airport in August 2021.
In a healthy, functioning republic, the political and military officials responsible for what happened in Afghanistan two years ago would have been impeached or forced to resign in disgrace. But the U.S. is no longer a healthy, functioning republic, and so instead, they are more entrenched than ever.
Obama Nero Caesar’s third term using his senile puppet Joe Biden has been his most successful yet. The intentional destruction of America during Obama’s fourth term (if you think Obama and his entrenched Deep State Mafia will let Trump win you’re delusional) will truly be something to behold for any American who survives this nihilist destruction of America.
“Biden has reportedly spent 40 percent of his presidency on vacation. This shows two things. One, he’s not in charge. He’s a figurehead. Two, we are living under an occupation that merely replacing Biden will not resolve. We need a revolution, not an election.” – Michael J. Hurd
You are only 2.5 years late in telling us what is going on in the Biden admin.
It is astonishing how you presume that we conservatives on this site don’t understand the role Obama plays in the Biden admin.
More of your high-handed crap designed to make us think you actually have a brain.
“No longer a healthy, functioning republic.” Indeed.
What has Biden done for the other 60% of his presidency?
Shit his pants and eat ice cream.
THX 1138:
Your comment and so many others is just further proof that America is in a state of decline. We cannot save America because so much damage has been done. Wait until there is a financial collapse in the next few years, then the fireworks will really begin.
Milley is the Model of a Modern Major General, (Milley has four or five degrees, and they are bullshit degrees, like international relations) he is ‘always learning but never understanding’ a partial Bible quote. Great, now Miley and the other ship of fools, have decided to take on Russia.
2 Timothy 3:4-7
Verse 4 starts off with “Traitors”.
Milley was a backstabbing, two-faced POS.
I’m sure he’s doing well on the cocktail circuit.
Yeah, sucking cocks, probably.
Biden Blunded big time and who pays the price for his bumbling?
One thing is Certain;”Bite Me”doesn’t need ANY Help in writing his”LEGACY”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“ more than 200 extrajudicial killings of former Afghan government officials and security forces have taken place since the Taliban took over the country two years ago, according to a U.N. report.”
Now we see what the UN is really interested in, “Government Officials” screw the rest of the plebs and women and gays, but they wrote a report that someone actually read about government officials!
Defund the UN now!
Kabul rivaled Saigon as an unmitigated disaster
As bad as our unaccountable military top echelons are, the vast majority of the blame is on Biden. He limited the number of U.S. forces allowed to protect the withdrawal to a number insufficient to secure Bagram. This decision drove the entire cascade of events that followed. Well that and his insistence that we leave by the twentieth anniverdary of 9/11 so that he could make a self-aggrandizing speech.
no mention of the Jihad/creeps that he has allowed into our country from not only that country of Afghanistan but the other invaders coming across Northern and Southern borders!!
I think that if the truth were known Biden would be long gone.
His brain is already long gone. Stage four Alzheimer’s, at minimum.
Our Luciferian American government is so CORRUPT!!!
Support the Jan 6th Patriots!!!
I didn’t get his name, but an upstanding 22 year old just committed suicide.
He was at the rally on Jan 6th, and did nothing more than enter the Rotunda & go for a stoll with his uncle.
The DNC/FBI set ’em up, and got their photo-op & bullshit “insurrection” fable.
But that wasn’t enough. Now the venomous filth are taking glee in destroying more innocent lives; successfully driving another patriot to suicide & hopefully driving us to shut up.
Tarrio just got 22 years for doing . . . absolutely nothing.
Notice that these woke judges, DC chickenshit jurists, and flaming reporters aren’t hunting Ray Epps scalp. (The reason is they know who’s side he’s on.)
If Trump can overcome the stacked deck on Election Month, he better pardon EVERY Jan 6th patriot, and take a flamethrower to every DC prick involved in that set up.
Joe Biden is the one who should really have an indictment charges filed against him .For many reasons.
One of those reasons is because that treasonous US “President” Biden, has aided and new continues to support that murderous Taliban enemy conquer Afghanistan and even let the America and American people hating Taliban have new high quality US military equipment.
Likewise, Biden is a traitor to all the families and friends of those US soldiers, who had shed their blood, were killed and terribly maimed for life by the Taliban. For creepy traitorous old Joe just ‘gave away” Afghanistan to the Taliban.
Biden also has betrayed many Americans and the good Afghans who really aided the US military in the land by abandoning them all to the vicious and murderous Taliban.
Furthermore, Biden really does not care about those thirteen Americans who died or the other American who died in Afghanistan because of either his incompetence or treasonous orders.
Therefore , Joe Biden is very, obviously is ether completely incompetent and despicably treasonous. In the first or second case Biden should not have been allowed be enter the Office of the Presidency in the first place.
As that catastrophe, he created in Afghanistan and letting the Talban obtain may high quality US military equipment.
As the former US President Theodore Roosevelt that the Office of the Presidency in not only a powerful position but “a very strong man” is needed for the Oval Office. Joe Biden is not a strong man but as already stated is weak and feeble.
Roosevelt also, rightly, believed “a man holding that very important Office “should be sharply watch by the people [and] held to a strict accountability by them.”
It’s occurred to me that the installation of Biden as president (no, he was not”elected”) served more corporate interests that Trump did. The Afghanistan mess, the border mess, the war in Ukraine, each of which could have been avoided, provided profit opportunities for the military-industrian complex. I agree that “…the U.S. is no longer a healthy, functioning republic…”, but I will go further and state that the U.S. de-evolved into a fascist state long ago. Our government does whatever the corporates need done to make money – never-ending wars, never-ending vaccines, and on. Welcome to the future.
Solid points all around.
The irony is that the Sleepy Sack-o-shit didn’t even require the Taliban to buy a single Hunter painting.
The dumbshit gave-it-away-now because he was in such a rush to have his 9/11 “I ended the war” speech on it’s 20th anniversary. Oops!
So sorry that his bullshit photo-op got ruined by his colossal incompetence. [Sarc]
Joe Biden is responsible for that catastrophe which he created in Afghanistan.
Just think of all those Americans and out good Afghans friends he abandoned in Afghanistan to be encountered captured tortured and murdered by the bloodthirsty Taliban.
To make matters even worse Biden admitted many unchecked and unvetted “refugees” into and throughout the United States , a number of them , not doubt are criminal and secret jihadists scheming and waiting for the time they consider to engage in murderous violence.
The innocent people who will be murdered by them will guilty and likewise Biden will also then have their blood on his sinister wicked and destructive hands.
All that evil in Afghanistan would never have happened if that President Pretender, Joe Biden just threw away and totally destroyed nearly twenty years of progress accomplished by the blood sweat and tears and even the deaths of many Americans as well as those blood, sweat and tears of America’s allies.
Also Biden threw away more than trillion of the American taxpayer’s money that was invested in for the betterment and development of Afghanistan.
This tragic scenario didn’t actually have to had happen in Afghanistan because the generals of the Pentagon who are strategic military advisers to the President strongly counseled Biden not to have a sharp, sudden withdrawal from Afghanistan but instead have and start a gradual drawback of the US armed forces after September 11, 2021.
The problem was that the arrogant conceited and stupid Joe Biden refused to heed or listen to the wise council of the intellects of the Pentagon. Therefore is this complete catastrophe with the Taliban total takeover of Afghanistan.
In the ancient but wisdom filled book by Sun Tzu entitled THE ART OF WAR, it is written “He will win who has the military capability and is not interfered with the sovereign.”
That awful incompetent and probably even treasonous villain, Joe Biden, ruined everything.
And it ruined his 9/11 speech he so wanted to give on his “ending the war”. [sarc]
We’re forever at war with islam until they or we win.
Not only are we handing everything over to islam, *Biden just sabotaged our alliances for a generation, by recklessly abandoning Afghanistan & betraying all our allies. (Future allies we try to cultivate will remember that betrayal.)
That horrible policy and directed action of that horrendously treasonous “president” Joe Biden in Afghanistan does indeed have a galvanizing effect to stir and impel the jihadists of many different Islamic terror/murder organizations around the world to continue with even more zeal than before.
Especially since they have their useful idiot and stooge sitting and resting in the Oval Office of the White House masquerading as a real, genuine, United States President.
That treacherous fiend old man Joe Biden asset and inspiration to America’s enemies around the world.
JOE BIDEN: DEBACLE PRESIDENT
As Many as 1 in 3 Afghan Refugee Women at U.S. Bases are Pregnant
When Biden’s Afghanistan retreat first brought tens of thousands of Afghans to the United States without any visas or vetting, officials at Fort McCoy warned about numerous incidents of Afghan child brides. Democrats and senior military officials have denied these allegations, but shocking new statistics out of Fort McCoy raise new questions of just how pervasive this is.
These staggering numbers reveal the massive speed with which Islamic colonization takes place, fueled by birth rates and then religious violence, but even with the high birth rates within Islam in general and in Afghanistan in particular, the Fort McCoy numbers are still too high.
When 12,500 Afghans can outnumber 741,770 Americans, what will happen when over 100,000 Afghans are brought to America? After Biden brought 53,000 Afghans to America, another 60,000 are waiting on visas in Afghanistan. That’s 113,000 Afghans and it’s just the beginning.
At a time when hospitals are already under strain and there are shortages of medical personnel, Biden’s decision to dump over 12,000 Afghans into rural Wisconsin has proven to be catastrophic. Gundersen Health Systems, one of whose hospitals has been used to deliver Afghan babies, has claimed that it’s near capacity with COVID patients. Could Americans lose their lives because of shortages created by the Afghan strain on our medical system?
I just watched Biden abandon a Vietnam Vet on the stage. He has no right to share space with a hero of that sad and endless war. He is not serious enough, he is not empathetic enough, he has never been tested in such a way. He is disgracing our military as I write.
That guy in the photo in a white skirt with his arms outstretched sure looks happy. I’m not a big fan of Afghans because I remember what they were like when Alexander slaughtered them and when Kipling described them but I like that guy.
This is what Biden as Obama’s sock puppet wanted.
This was Biden’s decision alone.
Almost every advisor or person that could get his ear recommended against his Afghanistan withdrawal plans.
Don’t think it was a mistake.
Think of Obama murdering more US Armed Services personnel than any other President in the Mid East.
Think of what Biden’s Afghanistan exit does to humiliate and neuter the U.S.
Think of what this does for Obamacrats and their cohorts among the international left.
This was no mistake. This was not something bad by their definition. This was coldly calculated!
General Thoroughly Modern Milley and Rachel Levine probably danced at the school prom.
