    US Withdrawal from Afghanistan
    A stunningly disingenuous blame shift by Clueless about the US retreat from Afghanistan was published and released after Clueless had already left for the holiday weekend .

    The 12 page report admits to some errors . But does what his administration is best at ;blaming Trump for all their incompetence.

    US-Withdrawal-from-Afghanistan.pdf (whitehouse.gov)

    Retired Rear Admiral John Kirby ;now the National Security Council spokesperson was put forward to be the sacrificial lamb. He disgraced himself . Aug. 24, 2021, during a White House presser, Kirby had described the withdrawal as chaotic, telling reporters in "the first few days" there was "physical crush and chaos."

    Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby and Major General Hank Taylor, Deputy Director of the Joint Staff For Regional Operations Press Briefing > U.S. Department of Defense > Transcript

    But now he disputes claims about a chaotic withdrawal .

    "For all this talk of chaos, I just didn't see it. Not from my perch. At one point during the evacuation, there was an aircraft taking off full of people, Americans and Afghans alike, every 48 minutes. And not one single mission was missed,"

    Press Briefing by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby | The White House

    He was there and saw what we saw ;people climbing the airport walls to get to the tarmac .Hundreds of people running for the chance to climb on a transport exterior to plunge to their certain death. Taliban manning the gates of the airport we were evacuating from . Thousands of Americans and Afghanisis loyal to the Americans left behind. Billions of dollars of American military hardware left behind . Russia emboldened to go on the attack .
    That is just some of the fiasco he should've seen from his "perch". He is a disgrace.

    So here's the deal . Flashback August 2021 The deal is made . Sept 11 would be a historic day for the orderly end of the US war in Afghanistan What's not to like about that ? There is one month where Quid and staff have nothing to do .

    The administration goes on vacation . Quid Pro Joe went to Camp David ;Sec State Blnken went to the Hamptons , Peppermint Patty Psaki went to the beach .

    But Afghan President Ashraf Ghani decided he would not wait around until September to get slaughtered . He cut and ran with the Taliban on his heals .
    According to a new book 'The Last Politician ' ,by Franklin Foer ; it was up to Jake the snake Sullivan to give Quid the good news .

    Nothing get's Quid more stirred up then ruining his vacation. According to the book ;he exploded like the bomb that his the soldiers guarding the retreat .

    Psaki knew her vacation was over when the TV showed Afghans fall to their death trying to get on a C-17 transport jet. Quid knew he would get heat from conservatives for the botched evacuation. But he was shocked shocked that he got heat from "the columnists and venerable reporters that Biden's inner circle respected and tended to heed," (the compliant press)
    Book claims Biden ‘exploded’ as Afghanistan collapsed during his vacation: ‘Give me a break!’ (nypost.com)

    'Give me a break! ' he shouted echoing my daily reaction to his Presidency .

    We are now only learning the true extent of the boggled withdrawal from Afghanistan by the bumbling Clueless Joe Administration.

    CNN reports that it was not possible for the plan to go wrong....... because there was NO WITHRAWAL PLAN AT ALL !!!!!!
    Exclusive: State Department officials told House investigators they created Afghanistan withdrawal plans from scratch | CNN Politics


    This is what Joe told us

    “Our military mission in Afghanistan will conclude on Aug. 31. The drawdown is proceeding in a secure and orderly way, prioritizing the safety of our troops as they depart.”
    He also said the Afghanistan army was well equipt to step in to take on the Taliban,

    None of that was true.

    Biden Announces US Military Expected to Withdraw From Afghanistan by August 31 (youtube.com)

    Testimony from State Dept officials to Congress reveal that testimony reveal that the foreign affairs officers dispatched to Afghanistan had been on other assignments when they were sent to Kabul and “were rushed to the country with virtually no time to prepare and no established emergency evacuation plan in place when they arrived”

    CNN says the testimony “paint(s) a picture of the chaos outside the Kabul airport and the ad-hoc nature of the evacuation, something that top U.S. military generals suggested could have been mitigated if the State Department had called sooner for a ‘noncombatant evacuation operation’ — known as a NEO — for remaining U.S. citizens in Afghanistan.”

    The administration still gaslights and says they were following Trump's agreement with the Taliban while disregarding the fact that the Taliban violated every term of the agreement under Clueless Joe's watch.

    Update . Peppermint Patty Jen Psaki is now a MSNBC talking head where she gets the big $$$ bucks for lying .

    She has a new book out about here days at the WH. In it she goes behind the scenes about this Afghanistan withdrawal fiasco.

    Say More | Book by Jen Psaki | Official Publisher Page | Simon & Schuster (simonandschuster.com)

    She says that those who claim Quid Pro Joe looked at his watch during a ceremony for the soldiers killed during the withdrawal are doing "misinformation " .

    Who do you believe .... Jen or your lying eyes ?

    Yesterday more of the Clueless Joe, Kam the Sham incompetence was revealed . We already know about the disastrous withdrawal ;the needless loss or life ;the military hardware left behind for terrorists to use. We now also know ,thanks to former Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell that the US State Dept gave $239 million to the Taliban .
    Blinken's State Dept failed to properly vet fake NGOs

    Richard Grenell on X: "The State Department gave $239 million to the Taliban. Your tax dollars! @ABlinken and @StateINL didn’t notice that the requesting NGO was fake - a front for the Taliban. The DC media is largely silent because they protect Democrats. https://t.co/BWCNSBFgaR" / X

    Meanwhile it is reported that the US released dozens of people on the terrorist watch list into the US .

    And Iran attacked us in Iraq again injuring US troops .

    No one is at the helm

    That at least is what Iran thinks . Hey they were willing to make a deal with KSM after he masterminded the mass murder of Americans . Let's hit em again

    Flashback : this is what WSJ wrote about Bagram Air Base when Joe decided to abandon it .

    The Biden administration’s decision to remove all U.S. forces from Afghanistan could cost the country an important strategic asset, the Bagram Air Base. For years, the base has been conducting tactical air operations in support of American and Afghan troops. Bagram is 40 miles north of Kabul and is impressive in size: The installation covers about 30 square miles. Its 12,000-foot runway can accommodate U.S. military aircraft of any size.
    The location is also strategic, to say the least: Bagram is about 400 miles west of China and about 500 miles east of Iran. This is a good place to have American assets. Keeping the base open could hardly be called a provocation, given it’s been around for years. But manning this base requires a continued military presence in Afghanistan, which would also ensure the country doesn’t return to being a base for terrorists.
    Why Give Away Bagram Air Base? - WSJ

    That's right ....... it is arguably the most strategic location in the Middle East. Before us the Russians had it . When they left Afghanistan it was mostly unused. We put a fortune in upgrading it . Then we left in the middle of the night with no notice to our allies in the region (other NATO nations ;and friendly Afghans .)

    US left Afghan airfield at night, didn't tell new commander | AP News

    Left behind were more weapons than many nation's military budgets . We were told 'hey no biggie ; they won't be able to maintain them so they will be inoperable . ' This parade of US weapons disproves that lie.




    Looks operational to me
