BREAKING: Americans not able to leave Afghanistan: Taliban effectively making them "hostages"

According to reports, the Taliban is not allowing flights carrying American citizens [who are worth their weight in cash] to leave Kabul airport, for some reason. This likely comes as a big surprise to our brain-addled president who believed we could work with the terror organization in spite of their security forces allowing a suicide bomber to kill hundreds of people, 13 of them American military personnel, at the Abbey Gate of Kabul airport.

What an incredible surprise and frankly, a disappointment to this inept and heartless administration. 

CBS News reported that, according to NGO and congressional sources, “multiple planes that are ready to take American citizens and green card holders out of the country are being denied permission to leave by the Taliban.”

A State Department email viewed by the outlet said the flights out of Afghanistan have permission to land in Qatar “if and when the Taliban agrees to takeoff.” Perhaps the Taliban is worried about the spread of Covid and are planning to wait until the entire world is covid-free, like Anthony Fauci and our government.

A senior congressional source told CBS News, “The Taliban is basically holding them hostage to get more out of the Americans.”

The way the Taliban sees it, each American is worth his or her weight in gold, a ton of C4 explosive and a hundred thousand rounds of 7.62mm ammo.

“The group Ascend, an NGO that teaches young women leadership through athletics, told CBS News they have two planes that have been waiting for six days ready to take between 600 and 1200 people — including 19 American citizens and two permanent residents,” the report stated. “The planes are not currently loaded. The passengers are being held nearby, because the Taliban won’t let them into the airport, according to a senior congressional source.”

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) told Chris Wallace of Fox News on Sunday that the Taliban was holding people hostage. McCaul is the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Wallace asked McCaul, “Since we pulled out, how many Afghan allies have gotten out since the Taliban was in complete control of the country?” 

His answer was, "Zero, and, in fact, we have six airplanes at Mazar Sharif Airport, six airplanes with American citizens on them as I speak, also with these interpreters, and the Taliban is holding them hostage for demands right now. They — we — [the] state has cleared these flights and the Taliban will not let them leave the airport. So, I’m sorry, the answer to your question is zero. And that’s my concern is they’re going to demand more and more, whether it be cash or legitimacy as the government of Afghanistan.”

“You’re saying that there are Americans on airplanes ready to fly out of Afghanistan right now, and they’re not being allowed out because Taliban is making demands?” Wallace pressed. “What demands are the Taliban making?”

“Well, they are not — they are not clearing the airplanes to depart. They’ve sat at the airport for the last couple of days, these planes, and they’re not allowed to leave,” McCaul responded. “We know the reason why is because the Taliban want something in exchange. This is really, Chris, turning into a hostage situation where they’re not going to allow American citizens to leave until they get full recognition from the United States of America. My concern is that Zalmay Khalilzad, [our] special envoy who’s met with the Taliban, they’re in talks right now, and I think — I worry his recommendation to the administration will be to recognize the Taliban as the official government of the United States, a Taliban organization that is a terrorist organization.”

Nothing has changed with these terrorists. They follow their orthodox interpretation of their Koran, just like Osama bin Laden did on 9/11. What in the world was Biden and his handler(s) thinking when they got in bed with these butt munchers?

Somehow they need to figure out a way, and quickly, to blame Trump for this clusterfrack. Maybe Psaki can use her verbal contortionist abilities, but I doubt it.

Report: US knew about Kabul bomber, had him in drone sights but didn't pull the trigger

According to former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for western hemisphere affairs, Roger Pardo-Maurer, in an interview with Director of MRC Latino Jorge Bonilla, he was told that the Department of Defense already knew the identity of the Kabul bomber before the bombing in Kabul. Also, the DoD had intel as to when the attack would take place but did nothing to stop it.

If true, this is damning to the Biden administration and the intelligence community for sitting on their hands and doing nothing to stop the killings of 13 American military and almost 200 Afghans looking to flee the country.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Per former Deputy Assistant SecDef Roger Pardo-Maurer, the DoD had foreknowledge of the Kabul bomber AND denied permission to fire to the Predator drone that had a lock on the bomber. pic.twitter.com/ZDh27drdwu

When asked about the report of intelligence communications showing we had general knowledge of when and even the gate where the attack would take place at Kabul airport, The Abbey Gate was at "highest risk."

Pentagon spokesman and propaganda distributor John Kirby refused to discuss it and complained about leaked intelligence, which should give you some clue as to the veracity of the claim.

Pardo-Maurer went further in his interview. He said not only did they know where and when it would happen, but that they had a Predator drone lock on the bomber, but that “they” refused to grant permission to take the guy out. “[Permission] was requested and was denied,” he said. Why? “Because we are in this process of negotiating with the Taliban who aren’t even in control of their own government or their own people.”

Remember, the Taliban offered to allow the US to control Kabul airport and the perimeter but the Biden administration refused. If I were a conspiracy theorist [which I'm not], I would posit that we were afraid to anger the Taliban if we took the shot on the suicide bomber to protect our people and the Afghans. If I had to guess, I'd call it Joe's "risk averseness."

Kirby needs to be grilled by the press and asked what the intelligence community knew, when did they know it and who the hell told them not to take the shot. Heads should roll, but hey, that's going to happen anyway, just not by us.

Taliban Takes Control Over Parts of Kabul Airport

According to a report by Barrons, the Biden-assisted Taliban has taken control of parts of Kabul airport on Friday, as the Tuesday, August 31st deadline draws insidiously closer. [H/T Barrons; AFP]

"Today, three important locations in the military part of Kabul airport were evacuated by the Americans and are under the control of the Islamic Emirate," spokesman Bilal Karimi said on Twitter. 

By 'evacuated' Karimi is referring to an ordered retreat by our military. The United States of America has finally come to a point where the left is trying to protect our military, whose job it is is to protect American citizens, while stranding our citizens who need protecting. Everything the left does is ass-backwards or false.

Obviously this is a recent event and more information will be forthcoming.

The most disgusting, lying, incompetent POTUS ever

This would be sad if he wasn't such a damned liar

You know that President Joseph Robinette Biden is lying when he mumbles something to the American public. His lies to us show that he either believes we are stupid, have the attention span of a rock, or he is an idiot who believes what the person hiding behind the curtain tells him to read out loud.

Like Robert Gates, the U.S.'s 22nd Secretary of Defense said of Biden, he has "been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."

His decision and the way he is now pulling out of Afghanistan illustrates the veracity of this statement. With a bare bones number of American military personnel and civilian contractors aiding the Afghan military, we have been able to keep terrorism at bay since Sept. 11, 2001 suffering no casualties since Feb. 8, 2020 and prior to that, fewer casualties than Chicago over the years since 2014.

But it's Biden's lies to the American public about Afghanistan that's so infuriating.

On April 14 of this year Biden said that "[W]e'll not conduct a hasty risk to the exit. We'll do it responsibly, deliberately, and safely. And we'll do it with the full coordination with our allies and partners who now have more forces in Afghanistan than we do." Next he added, "[A]nd the Taliban should know if they attack us as we draw down, we'll defend ourselves and our partners with all the tools at our disposal." [Go to 1:23 on the video below for this quote.]

Yeah, that didn't happen after Thursday's suicide bombing. We did nothing in response to the attack and the Taliban, who were allowed to be in charge of our security along the perimeter of the airport, somehow missed a guy in the high heat of the day, wearing an oversized vest.

On July 8th, Biden was questioned by the press and asked if he saw a similar comparison to the withdrawal in Saigon in 1975. He said, "[T]he Taliban is not the North Vietnamese Army--they're not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There's gonna be no circumstance when you're gonna see people lifted off the roof of a (sic) embassy of the United States from Afghanistan. It's not at all comforable" (sic).

Well imagine that. Yes, it's so easy to tell how the Saigon extraction from the U.S. embassy roof is distinguishable from the Afghanistan extraction from the U.S. embassy.

The next public embarrassment [below] Biden faced was back on August 16 when he claimed the buck stops with him and then went on to blame everyone but himself, including the Afghan people. This is truly disgusting on its face after having lost 66,000 fighters since the war began. And remember, he speaks [as in mumbles] about this situation in Afghanistan as if it was an all-out war rather than a military occupation serving to protect our interests in the Middle East by not providing a safe haven for terrorists.

And finally, after 13 U.S. military were killed on August 26th outside Kabul airport by a suicide bomber, Biden spoke to the American public. Again he used disingenuous platitudes to the public and the families who lost loved ones, and then went on to threaten terrorists with empty words that scare nobody.

Biden is looking increasingly more cognitively impaired and is seen by honest Americans as an embarrassment to the nation and untrustworthy to our allies. But at least China, Russia, Iran and North Korea are enjoying the show. 

Joe Biden is incompetent and Kamala Harris is hungry.

Lyin Biden--turns out that Americans were " beaten throughout the night" by Taliban

Sasha Ingber, a reporter for Newsy said on Twitter that sources inside Afghanistan told her that not only is the situation swiftly deteriorating, but said that some Americans were getting "beaten throughout the night" by Taliban fighters.

“A source tells me, ‘Situation [in Afghanistan] is rapidly deteriorating… We’ve had Americans get beaten throughout the night.' One of them, an American woman, was beaten ‘twice’ even though she was carrying a U.S. passport.” 

She described the scene:

Chaos “at all gates” in Kabul right now. Taliban gunfire, beating people. I’m messaging with an interpreter who is there, trying to get into one of the gates. All gates are closed because the airfield is currently at max capacity, I am told.

— Sasha Ingber (@SashaIngber) August 20, 2021

I’m also told Taliban is targeting Afghans US worked with, “going door to door and executing anyone that has worked with the US.” That “Taliban are searching the cars at checkpoints to find out something related to the foreign countries specially United States.” Separate sources.

— Sasha Ingber (@SashaIngber) August 20, 2021

So while our Babbler in Chief's Pentagon Press Secretary claims that Americans aren't being stopped as they try to enter the Kabul airport with no Americans being harmed, Ingber is hearing another side of the situation where our people are being injured and stopped from leaving the country, while the Taliban goes door-to-door hunting down Afghans who worked with the U.S. and are killing them.

The news comes after Taliban scum reportedly murdered a family member of a Deutsche Welle journalist on Thursday and seriously injured another during a shooting as they tried to track down the journalist.

“The killing of a close relative of one of our editors by the Taliban yesterday is inconceivably tragic, and testifies to the acute danger in which all our employees and their families in Afghanistan find themselves,” Deutsche Welle Director General Peter Limbourg said. “It is evident that the Taliban are already carrying out organized searches for journalists, both in Kabul and in the provinces. We are running out of time!”

Reporter Richard Engel tweeted:

US pulled out troops
Taliban takes over
US has to put in MORE troops than in Afghanistan before to evacuate citizens and allies, while pleading with Taliban to allow safe passage, which they're not providing https://t.co/wAx76PvD2O

Had Biden waited until after the 'fighting season' was over, and instead withdrew from Afghanistan in the winter, starting with civilians and leaving from the Bagram Airport instead of Kabul, this clusterfark would have not happened.

But Biden and his cronies pretend they looked at all contingencies.

Biden counts on 'softer, gentler' Taliban to give our infidels safe passage' but he recently said he doesn't trust them

"What was it I came here for again?"

Brain-addled Co-President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., has made the world's worst smuggle in his miserable political career shown by his lack of preparation in how he insisted on handling the removal of personnel from Afghanistan. 

We are now at a point where Biden says we should trust [but somehow verify] the Taliban will honor their pledge to  provide safe passage to Americans trying to leave the country. If you believe this terrorist organization will do no harm to our citizens and Afghans who worked with us, you might be the type of person who believes that Peter Pan was a real cis gender boy who could fly. 

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said Biden has "failed miserably" and made the world "less safe" with his inchoate scheme of withdrawing us from Afghanistan. Anyone who disagrees with her assessment, see above.

Afghanistan will now become a safe haven for scumbags everywhere and the White House lied to you.

National Security Advisor and Rhodes scholar Jake Sullivan joined White House press secretary and ginger Jen Psaki at the podium for a press conference on Tuesday. They were questioned about the fallout from the troop withdrawal whereby the Taliban has now taken complete control of the country. 

It was the worst press conference in recorded history.

Sullivan told reporters that the administration expects the Taliban "will have to be watched and observed over time" on whether the terrorist group is "prepared to meet their obligations to the basic human rights and human dignity of people, to the safe passage of people, to the airport."

Their obligation? Is he kidding?

Apparently, Sullivan missed his calling as a writer for the Babylon Bee. 

The so-called 'basic human rights' that will be afforded to the people of Afghanistan will be in concert with sharia. Women and girls as young as 12 can look forward to a fulfilling life as sex slaves and into forced marriages where they will be raped.

"The Taliban have informed us that they are prepared to provide the safe passage of civilians to the airport, and we intend to hold them to that commitment," Sullivan also said during the briefing. And what if they don't provide safe passage, Jake? What's the "or what" part of your statement? You moron.

Biden when asked six weeks ago if he trusted the Taliban and replied,  "No, I do not trust the Taliban."

What has changed in six weeks, Joe?

Thousands of stranded Americans are unable to access the Kabul airport and there are no clear plans to get them out of country. Thousands of Afghans who supported the U.S. as interpreters and in other capacities are in grave mortal danger if they remain in Afghanistan. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) told Fox News on Monday that he received between "400 and 500 people" office contacts in a 12 to 18 hour period of people "pleading for assistance" once he opened his phone lines to all Americans stranded by the U.S. "behind Taliban lines."

What's the plan, Joe, besides watching another episode of "I Love Lucy"?
