Another facet of the Afghan debacle that pisses me off














They want their freedom.

As long as somebody else is paying for it.

If he calls this support hate to see the criticism

 





No difference


Bribem was on television the other day at a news conference informing us how he received the full support of our allies around the world on his Afghan exodus. It would be safe to say Britain is one of our closest allies. 


Headlines coming out of Britain:


Afghanistan withdrawal ‘damn well feels like defeat’, Tory MPs tell Boris Johnson




Another close ally Benjamin Netanyahu saw the handwriting on the wall.



You can't make this shit up... Really...?

Bribem can.

Something to think about...







What concerns me is now that the Taliban is flush with weapons provided by Bribem, probably more than they could ever use, what's to stop them from teaming up with Al-Qaeda and/or ISIS march into Pakistan and attempt to take possession of their nuclear bombs? 






U.S. forces in Afghanistan look at alternative evacuation plans as ISIS threatens Kabul airport, NBC News reports




U.S. defense officials say that the military is looking for alternative ways to get Americans, Afghans and third-country nationals safely to the airport in Kabul following threats from the Islamic State, according to reporting from NBC News.

Two defense officials told NBC News that they are tracking specific threats from ISIS against the Kabul airport and those trying to get to the airport. With that, alternative ways are being developed to get people to the evacuation zone, the officials explained.

“We are executing an alternate path,” a defense official told NBC News. This includes gathering smaller groups of people at specific locations and then moving them to the airport in intervals. The goal is to get them there safely and make it easier to get through the gate quickly with smaller groups of people.

The threat from ISIS comes as President Joe Biden and his administration are facing criticism on how they handled the overall evacuation from Afghanistan.

The withdrawal, which was announced by Biden earlier this year, has been beset by multiple controversies, including people swarming the airport and making it almost impossible to get even some with the proper documentation out of the country.

The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan on Saturday warned American citizens not to travel to the airport “because of potential security threats outside the gates at the Kabul airport.”

A White House official informed the press pool on Saturday, that, in the past 24 hours, six U.S. military C-17s and 32 charters departed Kabul. The total passenger count for those 38 flights is approximately 3,800. The White House official says that since Aug 14.the U.S. has evacuated approximately 17,000 people.

A White House official also informed the press pool that Biden met with his national security advisors Saturday morning. Those conversations focused on the current security situation and counter-terrorism operations in Afghanistan, including issues pertaining to ISIS. The larger-scale evacuation was also discussed, the White House said.

Now this is really bad!!!



Truly a sad day for America 




A group of Taliban fighters released propaganda footage and a photo mocking the famed World War II picture of soldiers raising the American flag on Iwo Jima. In the original 1945 photograph (left), a group of six Marines are depicted hosting the flag on Mount Suribachi. The Taliban's Badri 313 Battalion recreated the image this week. In their version, a group of soldiers is seen hoisting the Taliban flag in a similar fashion while sporting U.S. weapons and gear that was likely stolen from allied militaries during patrols of Kabul. The Badri 313 is a special unit of Taliban fighters that dress like U.S. soldiers by wearing camouflage, combat boots and body armor. The special operations unit also drives armored Humvees and carries M4 carbines. U.S. officials say the Badri have seized what remains of the approximately $28billion in weaponry that America gave the Afghan forces between 2002 and 2017. 'Everything that hasn't been destroyed is the Taliban's now,' one official told Reuters on the basis of anonymity. In videos released by the group, the Badri 313 soldiers are seen with military helmets and sunglasses, bullet proof vests over camouflage jackets and trousers instead of the typical robes, and armed with tactical rifles.
