So the Biden administration is trying to repackage their catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan, that has created this geopolitical disaster, as a successful humanitarian mission in which tens of thousands have been airlifted to safety.
They’re desperate to create some good news because Biden’s poll numbers are plummeting.
But as the WSJ reported last week, according to a state dept spokesperson, we left most of the interpreters and other allies behind; they were not among the 120,000 people we evacuated. Who are they? The state dept. official said they don’t know, they’re not able to confirm their identities, since many of them boarded planes without identification and without being properly vetted.
Recall the chaotic scene in Kabul where thousands of afghans descended on the airport in a desperate attempt to escape the Taliban. They crowded the gates and pushed their way through our military line. Our troops weren’t equipped or staffed adequately to handle the huge numbers, to screen and process them in an orderly fashion.
So the majority of the people we did evacuate we don’t know who they are. And this could be a problem for us down the road as many of them are being resettled in this country. Could some of them be terrorists? Again, we don’t know but that’s certainly a possibility.
So the administration’s spin is a vain attempt to disguise their huge failure and shield their bungled, inept withdrawal.
