Yesterday, while responding to reports of American citizens not being able to get to the Kabul airport for evacuation, Joe Biden said:

“We have no indication that they haven’t been able to get — in Kabul — through the airport. We’ve made an agreement with the — with the Taliban. Thus far, they’ve allowed them to go through. It’s in their interest for them to go through. So, we know of no circumstance where American citizens are — carrying an American passport — are trying to get through to the airport. But we will do whatever needs to be done to see to it they get to the airport.” (link)

Today, the U.S. State Dept. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan issues a Security Alert:

“Because of potential security threats outside the gates at the Kabul airport, we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time unless you receive individual instructions from a U.S. government representative to do so.” (LINK)

Something sketchy is going on…

The State Dept. Public Relations firm, CNN, stopped Clarissa Ward (journalist) from reporting outside the gates of the Kabul airport.  Now, the embassy says don’t go to the airport at the same time the Associated Press is reporting on al-Qaeda and Islamic State elements threatening the area:

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Potential Islamic State threats against Americans in Afghanistan are forcing the U.S. military to develop new ways to get evacuees to the airport in Kabul, a senior U.S. official said Saturday, adding a new complication to the already chaotic efforts to get people out of the country after its swift fall to the Taliban.

The official said that small groups of Americans and possibly other civilians will be given specific instructions on what to do, including movement to transit points where they can be gathered up by the military. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss military operations. (read more)

Question everything.

Unfortunately, this situation is very complex and with journalists now exiting the Kabul airport, the American people are blind to what is taking place.  We now have to rely on the government for information about what is taking place on the ground.  Given the lack of credibility in government due to their lies, manipulations and documented efforts to control perception, we are in a precarious place.

The White House is saying all is safe.   The State Department is saying the opposite.

We must be cautious in reviewing any/all media articles about the fluid situation in Afghanistan, as both Leftist and NeoCon media are framing the crisis story to fit their preferred narrative. All DC media reporting should be viewed through the prism of cynicism and skepticism.

When we review a State Department position (DoS) on anything, it should be noted that DoS personnel are, by ideological tribe, very dramatic, tender and pearl-clutching leftists in their worldview. State Department officials are the wokeist of the international woke community. As a consequence of their alignment and role, CNN is almost identically predisposed to the dramatic flair.

There is also an effort by media to parse the Biden administration into segments, and position blame according to their ideological unit inside the tribe. Watch for this to appear in the reporting, and we should not allow it.

The U.S. State Department, the U.S. Defense Department, The White House, the National Security Council and all officials in positions of leadership within the entirety of the Biden foreign policy establishment, are equally to blame and all attached to this failure.

Their foreign policy ship is sinking, and they were all on board.

Do not allow them to reach shore and excuse themselves from their crisis.

U.S. Military leadership was wrong in their claims, plans and risk assessments prior to the collapse of Afghanistan.  The U.S. State Department was wrong and inept in their planning to secure the Embassy mission in Kabul for all Americans.  The White House failed to organize, coordinate and manage the draw-down of military action in Afghanistan.  The President made the wrong decisions.  Those in political position advising the President were inept.

The Biden administration and foreign policy team is weak, ineffective, ideological and functionally flawed.  Everything they do is exactly the opposite of what should be done.

Just like Obama before him, the Biden foreign policy is a joke.

(L-R: Lloyd Austin, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Anthony Blinken, Jake Sullivan)
