The Taliban actually offered us control of Kabul, and the people in charge turned it down.
THOSE PERFUMED PRINCES TURNED IT DOWN!
In a hastily arranged in-person meeting, senior U.S. military leaders in Doha — including McKenzie, the commander of U.S. Central Command — spoke with Abdul Ghani Baradar, head of the Taliban’s political wing.
“We have a problem,” Baradar said, according to the U.S. official. “We have two options to deal with it: You [the United States military] take responsibility for securing Kabul or you have to allow us to do it.”
Throughout the day, Biden had remained resolute in his decision to withdraw all American troops from Afghanistan. The collapse of the Afghan government hadn’t changed his mind.
McKenzie, aware of those orders, told Baradar that the U.S. mission was only to evacuate American citizens, Afghan allies and others at risk. The United States, he told Baradar, needed the airport to do that.
On the spot, an understanding was reached, according to two other U.S. officials: The United States could have the airport until Aug. 31. But the Taliban would control the city.
That sound you hear throughout the land is all the leaders of WWII spinning in their graves. And my white hot incandescent rage at the entire military so-called "leadership" who shouldn't be in charge of a platoon, much less the entire military. It's one thing for Drooling Joe the Chinese Hand Puppet to screw up this badly - he's a senile halfwit, and both he and his handlers hate America in a myriad number of ways. But the military is supposed to be BETTER than that. The military is actually supposed to care about our people. The military is actually supposed to NOT LEAVE AMERICANS TO DIE. And if they couldn't find a way to do that with Drooling Joe (and his puppetmasters) mission parameters, then you either buck up and tell him no, or you FUCKING RESIGN. "I'm sorry, but I'm not going to leave Americans to be slaughtered and beaten by the Taliban. So you either accept my plan of action or you accept my resignation." It's that simple. And every fucking general down the line should have been ready to do that. But no, the flag officers for the Army seem to be capable of nothing more than regurgitating bullshit of every variety, from Thoroughly Modern Milley down to this MG McKenzie and probably far further down than that, and not a single fucking one of those people seem to care about anything other than their own careers.
They GAVE control of Kabul to the Taliban. The goat-fucking terrorists didn't take it, it was HANDED TO THEM.
And now I get to go to work. Just..... fuck.
IIRC, Trump ORDERED some documents declassified and made public. And they would not do it.
ReplyDeleteDid that happen? Yeah or no,seriously,, why would our military leaders follow orders from a senile old fool and pull off the voluntary capture of hostages, equipment to make war,I don't know if we shipped them pallets of cash yet,, but we GAVE them what, had they captured it in battle, would have been the most massive loss in American history,, and we GAVE IT TO THEM.. This isn't some second lieutenant screwing up and retreating hurriedly and leaving mortars,grenades and food, this was a president ordering the abandonment of an unknown number of Americans,,but they handed them equipment to identify people, and A FUKKING LIST of Our ALLIES. Now they are being HUNTED, and when found, their FAMILIES will be the first victims. Rumor has it Taliban take great pleasure in the anal rape of boys.
American citizens were AT THE AIRPORT, turned away..
If you don't ask yourself WHY... Something is wrong.
If your best answer is Gee, Wally,, they made a mistake, huhh?
Something is Still wrong. Stupidity is only cover for sabotage for a while. They managed to bring about50,000 not allies, not American,,
I wonder how many of those are young strong MEN...
If you don't know about Agenda 21 and the Georgia Guidestones, you need to
