Maybe we should call him "Baghdad Biden". For all you young whipper snappers that were too young to remember the first gulf war, "Bagdad Bob" was the Iraqi Minister of (dis)Information that made ludicrous claims on TV that the Iraqi Army was slaughtering the Americans and that the Americans were being totally annihilated.

The hand of fear takes many shapes and forms to whom it’s pointed out. I do think over 60 thousand Afghan military gave up their lives over those past few decades fighting those *******s you mentioned. Not all provinces have given up, their young men still fight in certain provinces . If anything it seems corruption did abound in many high places . Why was Pakistan our supposed allies allowed to harbour most of these terrorists within their borders for all these years? . Rather difficult to finish a war when most of the terrorists have safe haven across the Pakistani boarder. And so I guess it was allowed for a reason. And so the profiteers of war milked a war that should have been really over by 2004 but here we find ourselves today in the year 2021. There be a fine line between pleasure and pain there also be a fine line between heroes and cowards too.Another national news report showed thousands of young, male Afghans panicking in efforts to flee the Taliban regime. If they feared these Islamo-nuts so much, why didn’t they take up arms and fight the *******s before they overwhelmed Afghanistan????

@Ling31 I hope you are correct on not all provinces have given up. . . I have not seen the reports, but there is a lot to try to keep up on right now. I just found it hard to believe that ALL had laid down their guns and just accepted the totalitarian rule of the Taliban and Shari Law. I have seen the picture of the passengers on the first military plane taking evacuees out of the country. . . mainly young capable men who could be fighting for their freedoms.
Danil President Trump chose well to end the charade of Afghanistan his administration left a well laid out plan. Sadly Mr Biden and his minders have done everything to destroy that and make Afghanistan a terrorists paradise haven once again as mentioned in my previous reply leaving them hundreds of thousands guns night vision and body armour equipment and over 70 thousand military vehicles along with Blackhawk helicopters and other aircraft of varying capacity. And God only knows what else. It was deliberate. This unfolded for 3-4 months ago your Mr Biden and his handlers chose to let it happen just as he allowed your nation to be overrun by illegal aliens on your boarder. Mr Biden is a traitor. Danil the Vice President of Afghanistan continues to hold out resistance in some of the provinces how long for is anyone’s guess. As to the young men fleeing on the planes. How many were on the original list? How many are just everyday people just fleeing for their lives? How many are terrorists sent to undermine the well being your nation. I not know. Never let a good disaster go to waste has always been a calling card of the Marxists and global elite. Out of chaos to eventual order is always the progressive way for the new world they seek.
Very well put.
Do you really think they left all this stuff. That stuff has been gone. Pallets of cash. I can promise you, that all left and went somewhere and it got blamed on the "Taliban took it." Just tell me how many people you know would leave the money to rescue someone they don't know. Some would but most would take the money and run. If you think I'm wrong , you don't know people very well. Looks like a good cover story to hide missing assets someone stole. Weapons equal money.
Bill my heart does break of what Mr Biden and the Dems have already allowed to come to pass. Australia has already had a few shots across the bow from China with our exports. Sadly China builds and becomes more powerful with what we send. While we prefer to dither about with alternative energy while our industrial capacity becomes less and less. China is patient they will pick their time . All they usually need is progressive radicals in power and half of their bidding is done.
Oh please its because most Afghans live in remore rural areas, and away from the cities the women are still kept in semi isolation. AND because of their poor health system only the hardiest of them live long lives, Unlike the west where we have millions propped up by modern medical care, few obese lardies, almost no type two diabetics, no junk food, most dont drink etc. and trhe Taliban are banning vaccination programs becauseof that scheme by the CIA to spy on the taliban using spooks pretending to be Red Crescent workers.
I think the evacuations are all but over, they will have to stop by tomorrow, Friday, in order to get all the troops out, not that anyone can get to the airport anymore, any one trying to get there has been stopped and no Afghans will be allowed to leave.
they will have to head for the border instead.
they will have to head for the border instead.
Tomorrow you think. Than the bloodletting, rape and pillage shall begin in earnest. We’ll never know to the full extent. Seems that Mr Biden never appreciated the care that he was given when stranded and rescued when stranded in Taliban territory in 2008. I’m sure the pilots only regret was in retrieving him instead of making him run the gauntlet of Taliban check points as he has done to his Afghan allies and friends

A group of highly trained US military veterans have been conducting secret rescue missions behind the Biden State Department’s back, rescuing hundreds of Afghan allies from Afghanistan with their heroic efforts.
Furious over the terrible situation in they had already sacrificed so much to prevent when they served, the team of retired specialists, including Green Berets and Navy SEALS, risked their lives. They volunteered to travel to Kabul because they were afraid that Joe Biden was abandoning at-risk Afghan elite forces, leaving them to die at the hands of terrorists.
They felt it was necessary for someone to step up and were baffled “that our own government didn’t do this,” former Navy SEAL Jason Redman told ABC.
The rogue team also used “pineapple express” as a password that was given to US military members who denied their orders to assist the veterans when they brought people to the airfield.
They had been operating until Thursday morning, when some of their team were among those injured in the suicide bombing near the airport that killed over 180, including 13 US Military members.
According to New York Post:
The heroic team started with the goal to rescue an ex-Afghan commando that was under imminent threat from the Taliban for having worked with US military forces in the past. They were able to get him and his family safely out of danger.
After that mission was a success, they waded through sewers and used satellite imagery to avoid dozens of Taliban checkpoints so they could covertly smuggle people to the airport.
Their courageous efforts have enabled 630 people to safely get to their evacuation flights out of Afghanistan.
The volunteer unit was commanded by Lt. Col. Scott Mann, a retired Green Beret commander. He explained how the team was proud to have risked their lives to save “dozens of high-risk individuals, families with small children, orphans, and pregnant women.”
These men deserve to be accommodated and recognized for their amazing strength and resolve. Thank You!

The operation started about a week ago and was called “pineapple express.” Team members used images of pineapples on their phones to communicate who they were and would usually smuggle people into the airfield in the dead of night.

These brave heroes had already sacrificed so much fighting in Afghanistan so the Taliban could not continue their evil reign of terror. The last thing they should have to do is go back into a hostile war zone to rescue people that have been left behind by the Commander in Chief.

(The New Reality for the Women of Afghanistan)
The Taliban, thanks to Jihad-Joe Biden, have announced that afghans in Kabul must turn over their guns and ammunition by the end of the week. They also mandated that women are required to have a male chaperone and be wearing a burka if they want to leave their house for multiple days.
A Taliban spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, revealed part of their plans in an interview with the New York Times on Wednesday. He explained that the terrorist organization is attempting to build back their oppressive regime by forcefully reimposing the unethical restrictions on women and others that were in place when they were was at their height in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s.
“Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said while women will eventually be allowed to return to work and go on trips to school, and hospitals, they would need a male chaperone for trips that last several days.
He suggested to the New York Times that the Taliban will let women return to their jobs in the future – as long as they wear a head covering – and said concerns that the Taliban would once again force women to stay inside or cover their faces are baseless.
The regime has claimed it will be more “inclusive” as it reestablishes itself, but just like they were doing before, they began committing gross violations of human rights almost immediately once they gained control.
The fake news media and Biden’s fraudulent administration have been carrying water for this illegitimate regime since the crisis began. They have repeatedly covered for these scumbag terrorists as they wreak their havoc, and have consistently tried to give the new dictatorship credibility.
The Taliban don’t even have to try, they can just lie and grin like Ol’-Joe.
Shameless: Psaki Repeatedly Defends Taliban Despite Them Controlling Checkpoints That Allowed Bomber to Reach Airport Gates; Says Cooperation With the Terrorist Group Still “Necessary” – Video
The Taliban spokesperson also tried pushing back on reports that they have been ‘exacting vengeance’ on dissenters and blocking people from getting to the airport. Despite credible reports and video, he claimed they were not impeding anyone if they had their proper documentation – Which was good enough for the times.
Inexplicably, Biden’s State Department trusted the Taliban enough to give them a list of American citizens that were attempting to reach evacuation flights at the airport. Biden didn’t just leave Americans behind, he willingly gave them up as hostages.
Where is Biden’s line in the sand with these barbarians? They could literally do anything, and he would still legitimize them?
Biden’s inexcusable ‘corporation’ with the Taliban has already resulted in hundreds of deaths including 13 US Military members.
Only time will tell how many more will be needlessly killed, all because China-Joe had to go destabilize the whole region.

Even before this latest announcement, Afghan women have been forced to comply with mandates that were put in place as the Taliban went city-to-city taking over the country. There have already been reports of women not being allowed to leave their homes to go to work or school, and in some cases are even blocked from going to hospitals.

Yeah.. Good luck getting through their checkpoints with your papers, and if you’re an American – or someone who assisted the US in the past – Good luck not getting roughed up or killed.

Danil truely medals of honour should be awarded for such bravery of those you mention. But who knows what their reward shall be from your government . More so If the plight of the Afghan Christians are anything to go by. There also It is nothing but continuing harassment and denying private flights safe access to places of safe haven by your government .

I heard yesterday that missionaries with children were turned away at the airport. That breaks my heart!! But I also hear of a lot of humanitarian rescues from private sectors happening. One is Glenn Beck trying to get Christians out. I hope that these rescue plans can actually continue to happen, since the American military is now pulling out. . . I find it very SAD that the Pineapple Express HAD to happen without Government knowledge, just to keep those involved safe.
Right now it seems that our true "heroes" who stand up for us and freedom are being persecuted in our new "America". I can only hope that they can eventually be awarded metals for their bravery and honor for this country, but it will NOT happen under this administration.

We need those same rogue hero's to take out the trash in the white house.
Our own military should see what has happened and remove all that tyrannical White House trash.

100 Percent Fed Up reports- Yesterday was one of the worst days in American history. It will always be remembered by Americans as the day a rag-tag bunch of Islamic terrorists in Afghanistan killed 13 US military members. In addition to killing US service members, the violent suicide bomb attacks killed or injured an untold number of people desperately waiting outside the airport for America’s inept commander-in-chief to formulate a plan to help them escape the new Islamic terror state.
The Biden regime was ill-prepared for the nightmare situation they created at the Hamid Karzai International airport where tens of thousands of American citizens and Afghan allies have been desperately waiting for their chance to be airlifted out of the hell-hole filled with bloodthirsty animals, many of whom were riding around in stolen American military vehicles. The vehicles, along with billions of dollars worth of military arms and equipment, were left behind in Joe Biden’s botched exit from Afghanistan that a fourth grader could’ve predicted would happen.
Only moments ago, we shared the name and identity of US Navy Medic Maxton Soviak from Berlin Heights, Ohio, whose void will be felt by his heartbroken family and circle of friends.

Now, the Daily Beast has released an interview with Steve Nikoui, the father of US Marine Kareem Nikoui, who was killed during the terrorist attack on the Kabul airport yesterday. The father of the murdered US Marine was notified yesterday within 8 hours of his son’s death when he got a notification on his phone that was linked to his doorbell camera that he had visitors on his front porch.
Daily Beast – He had been watching the news for any word of his son or his comrades and wanted to make sure he intercepted any bad news before his wife, and other son got home and saw a clutch of Marines standing there.
The Marines who came to deliver the news of Kareem’s death were “more choked up than me,” Nikoui said. “I was actually trying to console them. But at the same time, I just wanted them to get out as soon as possible so that no one from my family came back and saw them. I thought it appropriate that I be able to tell them.”
“I haven’t gone to bed all night,” Nikoui continued. “I’m still in shock. I haven’t been able to grasp everything that’s going on.” As of right now, Nikoui’s plan is to go to Dover, Delaware, and pick up his son’s remains.
Kareem “loved what he was doing; he always wanted to be a Marine,” said Nikoui, noting that his son had been stationed close to home at Camp Pendleton. This made it easy for Kareem to visit on weekends, and he often brought along “10 or 15 other Marines” with him. When the holidays rolled around, Kareem always brought a few buddies with him for a home-cooked meal, according to Nikoui.
Through tears, Nikoui expressed flashes of anger along with his anguish. He said he wants to “respect the office” of the president, but doesn’t have much love for President Joe Biden at the moment. A Trump supporter, Nikoui was happy that Trump was in office when Kareem joined the Marines. “I really believed this guy didn’t want to send people into harm’s way,” he said.
“They sent my son over there as a paper pusher and then had the Taliban outside providing security,” said Nikoui. “I blame my own military leaders… Biden turned his back on him. That’s it.”

Central Command said Friday night that the U.S. had conducted a drone strike against ISIS in response to the Islamist terrorist group’s suicide bomber attack at the Kabul airport Thursday that killed 13 U.S. service members.
The Pentagon is claiming two high-profile terrorists were killed and one other was wounded.
“I can confirm, as more information has come in, that two high-profile ISIS targets were killed and one was wounded,” Major General Hank Taylor said on Saturday.
However, Biden’s Pentagon refused to release their names.
If two high-profile ISIS terrorists were killed by a drone strike, the American people deserve to know who they are.
Unverified photos purporting to show the aftermath of the U.S. drone strike.
At this moment I time, I call BS!! His ass just wants to act tough, but we all know along with the rest of the world he is just a patsy. Last night when I read about this supposed airstrike it was a vehicle and now it is a house?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...ects-terror-attack-kabul-airport-24-36-hours/The White House released a statement by Joe Biden on Saturday about Afghanistan, warning of more U.S. strikes on ISIS-K while also saying that another terror attack is expected on the Kabul airport in the next 24-36 hours.
Politico reported Saturday Biden has told the Pentagon the military has his permission to launch attacks against ISIS without prior clearance from the White House.
Reuters reported Saturday that U.S. troop strength is below 4,000, down from 5,800, as the Pentagon works to meet Biden’s deadline for a complete withdrawal by Tuesday.
The British Ambassador to Afghanistan announced the shut down of the U.K.’s operations at the airport on Saturday.
White House Statement
This morning, I met with my national security team in Washington and my commanders in the field. We discussed the strike that U.S. forces took last night against the terrorist group ISIS-K in Afghanistan. I said we would go after the group responsible for the attack on our troops and innocent civilians in Kabul, and we have. This strike was not the last. We will continue to hunt down any person involved in that heinous attack and make them pay. Whenever anyone seeks to harm the United States or attack our troops, we will respond. That will never be in doubt. I thanked General McKenzie for his leadership of that mission, and for his commitment to the safety of our troops in Afghanistan.
The situation on the ground continues to be extremely dangerous, and the threat of terrorist attacks on the airport remains high. Our commanders informed me that an attack is highly likely in the next 24-36 hours. I directed them to take every possible measure to prioritize force protection, and ensured that they have all the authorities, resources and plans to protect our men and women on the ground. They assured me that they did, and that they could take these measures while completing the mission and safely retrograding our personnel.
Despite the treacherous situation in Kabul, we are continuing to evacuate civilians. Yesterday, we brought out another 6,800 people, including hundreds of Americans. And today, we discussed the ongoing preparations to help people continue to leave Afghanistan after our military departs.
The 13 service members that we lost were heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our highest American ideals and while saving the lives of others. Their bravery and selflessness has enabled more than 117,000 people at risk to reach safety thus far. May God protect our troops and all those standing watch in these dangerous days.
