Many people have wondered how the Biden administration could get the collapse of Afghanistan so horribly wrong and botched completely the withdrawal of U.S. forces. To that point there is a little known Question and Answer session by Colorado Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO, CD05) that deserves some attention.
Approximately 7 weeks ago, June 23rd, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley testified in front of the House Armed Services Committee about their budget requests. Rep Doug Lamborn took this opportunity, he only had 4 minutes, to ask some very specific questions about Afghanistan and his concerns for early reports of the Taliban surging back into control.
Lamborn asked about the hazard of closing Bagrham AFB given the tenuous nature of reliance on one airport in Kabul. Lamborn also asked about the evacuation of U.S-Afghan allies and the risk to women and girls if the Taliban were successful. What Def Sec Austin and General Milley said in response totally explains why the White House was blind-sided by the Taliban in the past week. [WATCH Video at 01:06:56, Prompted]
Given the nature of what has happened in Afghanistan, those totally wrong estimations of the situation in the region should be enough to see both Secretary Austin and General Milley fired. At the very least reliance on this inept and totally wrong outlook explains why the Biden administration had no idea what was about to happen.
Congressman Doug Lamborn’s questioning was directly on point and in hindsight, stunningly prescient. Great job by Lamborn!
Hopefully Austin was wrong when he said that any defense of women and girls in Afghanistan will be contingent upon the U.S. embassy in Kabul. The U.S. embassy in Kabul is no longer there, the Taliban have it.
The church and its leaders in Afghanistan are now also a target of the Taliban. Church leaders have been receiving letters telling them basically they are going NOWHERE.
Pray for the Christians, that they would endure and not deny Jesus even in the face of death, that they would not love their lives unto death, that they would not deny Jesus even in the face of what will probably happen to their wives and children. while they watch it happen.
Revelation 20:4
“I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”
Yet more proof that Islam is Satan’s religion on this Earth.
No you don’t lay down your self or your family!
I pray they are lions and take a high toll from the Taliban and those Taliban left standing have a change of heart. I hope the women rise up as warriors and destroy those mentally defective men.
Before our fearless leaders sold the US Afghan Nation Building Franchise for the more lucrative China Inc. Business Franchise, there are a major pre-conditions that had to be set before the disasters of Afghanistan exploded across the TV screens to divert 100% of attention. These need to be included, when looking back at reasons why as all the BS blame casting is conducted.
After 21 January 2021, the demo-fascists had to spend allot of time undoing President Trumps work to set up the following conditions.
First, a totally resurgent and utterly confident China Inc. had to be established. It was always the plan for them to assume control of the franchise in Afghanistan as a business deal vs nation building exercise. Russia was always there but they no longer have to be wary of any economic damage the US can do to them.
Second, the US had to be financially neutered…which it is, now dependent on imports with a total roll back to the 2015 main street economy. Then there is a central government taking the US down the road to a fascist-Marxist totalitarian system. Plus, the US will be unable to apply any of President Trump’s effective economic magic to control the Taliban with China Inc. and Russia in the ascendancy.
Third, the US had to be militarily neutered to preclude any meaningful strikes vs the Central Taliban royalty, terrorist camps or separate warlords who misbehave. Just in case see, First Condition…China Inc. now protects them diplomatically. [That’s right…there has NEVER been a central government in control of Afghanistan…even when the Taliban ruled. The Taliban person sitting in Kabul is just another form of the royal government deposed in the 1970’s by the USSR.]
Do not kid yourselves, President Comrade Obama and the staff of his Avatar Sock Puppet Joe KNEW this was coming no matter what these buffoons said.
The authors who were inspired to write the Bible also knew this was coming.
You would do well to study about nimrod and those who support him.
?% correct. The Marxist dismantling of the US economy is completely intentional too, mirroring the dismantling of US foreign policy.
Obama’s eight years allowed for false statements and untruths to obtain the ultimate gains. And the media allowed it.
With Biden, he won’t be given the same latitude?
Be an interesting paper on how Obama got away with it and Biden won’t.
That’s why they need Kamala.

imbedded in this interview is an interview of Noor Bin laden, she suggests that it’s naive to believe that the Afghanistan debacle was incompetence. It is a vehicle to import more unvetted Islamic radicals, under the guise of hurry and rescue these poor people.
Why can’t we get some ships and reeuire these so called refugees to stay aboard while they are vetted?
Better to ship them to other (yes, quasi-) safe havens in the Middle East than bring them here. If we have to bribe those govts, so be it but never let them set foot in this country because “vetting” is as good as what the Dems say it is.
Oh, and Xiden’s regime said Americans get no priority!
You mean all these unvetted military aged male “refugees?”
Well, this hearing did not age well. Wonder if any honest media will EVER start asking the Biden team real questions? I.e., as you see President Biden, the Taliban are cutting off the heads of interpreters who helped US forces, women and young girls raped, this calamity was preventable. What RU doing to fix it?
Austin and Milley speak in platitudes and pablum. They don’t answer direct questions directly.
The military brass speak as shyster politicians, not as leaders and strategists.
^^^^^ THIS !!!!! ^^^^^^
They are both 100% BS artists, but neither is particularly good at disguising their obvious fakery.
Austin’s mannerisms are amateurish and a dead giveaway of his attempts to avoid direct answers.
Milly’s bulldog face, expressions, and attempted assertive voice are collectively a bit more deceptive. BUT…. close your eyes and listen to ONLY the content ….. and you quickly become aware of his continuous stream of obfuscation, deflections, and diversions.
“… honest media … “
What strange foreign tongue dost thou speaketh? I knoweth naught what strange phrase thou uttereth.
Plans? Another example of how liberals have no ability to plan or manage anything. Everything they do is based on emotion with zero logic or common sense and is doomed to fail from the outset.
Expect to see screaming at the sky very soon to solve this problem.
The liberals will also not see the coming civil war. All the young, 20 years and less have grown up without the taliban ideology and when they see it in action, they will not accept it. Remember, before the taliban was routed, they were indoctrinating the country from birth. The young have had a taste of the modern world and will not let go. Civil war within 6 months.
They have somehow managed a successful coup d’etat the past year and I don’t see an end to it yet.
The tally-bonn are now going door-to-door-to-door disarming every household.
Telling the general population, “you don’t need guns anymore, you are safe with us in charge.”
We know what is coming next.
And it ain’t gonna be any uprising of modernist youth, I’m afraid.
As the situation deteriorated over the previous seven weeks since they made these stunningly ignorant statements, did either man brief whoever is calling the plays? I recall reading about provincial capitals falling weeks ago. It became apparent to an ignorant man in south Florida over a week ago that the Taliban were in a race to try to beat the U.S. before they could even pull the last boot off the ground. How could Milley miss it? Not looking is the only explanation. Probably telling those trying to gain his ear to stop bothering him, he had an important meeting about CRT in the services to prepare for.
Sabotage.
When Vindman was not removed from the military for his treasonous behavior I think most of us knew the military was rot at the management level. President Trump has been fighting demons like no other.
Milley has the same look on his face as Laurie Lightfoot…both look mentally ill. If you throw the IMPOSTER into the mix, it can be seen that democraps are totally DEVOID of leadership; no morals, no virtue and NO LEADERSHIP CAPABILITY. These are the people running America. Are you tired of LOSING YET?
SecDef Austin has never won a war. He has only lost. He is 1.ooo in striking out, a total loser.
“General” Milley has never won a war. He has only lost. He is even worse than Austin.
What place will they surrender next? Taiwan to the CCP? Straits of Hormuz to Iran?
Every REAL president had to fire several generals before they found some winners. Abe Lincoln fired several generals before he found Grant. FDR fired numerous generals before he found Patton, Bradley, and the other winning warriors.
Both are ‘Kneepad Generals’!
…or as my uncle, USMC col., (deceased) would put it, “perfumed princes.”
Biden supposedly rejected military plans and chose to pull military out first and do it his way — which if true and these military heads didn’t push back on Biden, then they are just as complicit; they know Biden is cognitively compromised.
These military heads need to be fired, and all of the death-blood in that country falls on Biden period.
Bongino is saying he’s gotten emails from those in the know that the Afghanistan withdrawal plans all centered on using Bagrahm, not Kabul.
Nothing in the last 7 days makes sense until you say Sabotage. What’s Biden’s motive? What’s his prize? After the “cover” of a humanitarian crisis first prize will go to China, first in line to buy Afghanistan’s $1 Trillion of Rare Earth Minerals. Swiftly positioning itself, announcing on Sunday, it’s acceptance of the new Taliban government while terrified humans were running alongside the plane.The first nation in the entire world to accept the Bandits. Second prize goes to the Taliban who will be vastly enriched to pursue it’s Sunday stated goal of “covering the whole earth with Islam.”
The likely planned *fall* of Kabul took the REMineral’s out of US control and into Taliban control for sale to the highest bidder. This world impacting economic transaction is hidden from view in the likely well orchestrated shock and awe Kabul well developed *crisis*, now elevated from city status to nation status.
US Intelligence knows within 10′ where I am right now. And you too and every soldier and every satellite phone and every Taliban Leader and tank. Biden and his Generals could NOT not know. There was no Battle of the Bulge, no Normandy, no US forces defense. Where is the video evidence of our fierce defense of Kabul? None. How does that happen without a plan? The evidence makes clear there was a Biden plan. Just not the plan the world, Americans, or Afghani’s fathomed.
China quietly but formally accepted the Taliban as the new government Sunday night. Congratulating the Taliban. Ready to expand Belt and Road business. No nation, no military operates without the Chips. The US makes none. China was immediately ready to acknowledge the Taliban as the legal government and extend a handshake. Not a word of mercy for a single American or Afghan. China was ready. China knew, like Biden knew.
Well said. Sabotage. This is no accident. This is Democide Theater.
This makes sense but I’m more inclined to believe that uncle Joe’s problem is that he doesn’t have any leadership ability. People who fail up make a career out of pretending to know something. Combine that with arrogance and conceited and you’ve got one incompetent man.
Khairullah Khairkhwa was one of five Taliban commanders released from the detention camp off the coast of Cuba by Obama in exchange for American soldier Bowe Bergdahl.
I believe this is a stealth takeover of America. These moves are all intentional and orchestrated out of Obama’s playbook. No one can be this stupid without intent.
Crazy Eyes Milley is probably at home running around in a wig and dress with lipstick on playing with his black Barbie doll! When I see Milley, I feel a surge of white rage.
Meet the latest McCabe and Comey.
So far out of their lanes with power, they cannot fulfill their duties.
Congressional oversight now includes the ability/desire of those in charge to do politicians bidding.
It’s beginning to look to me like the Taliban takeover was actually a US supported and orchestrated coup. I sincerely hope they didn’t intend to leave several thousand Americans behind. THAT may be the botch, not the coup.
Here are practical ways that we can direct our prayers for Afghanistan and especially for our brothers and sisters in that nation!
I’m keeping up with posts from @seanfeucht and @robbydawkins , who are both hosting live prayer meetings on their social media at various times. I’d encourage you to do the same?? ??

not trolling here but was Afghanistan better off before the U.S. arrived? I think so. We do not really know what goes on over there. The “news” tells us the Taliban does all of these horrible things, but who are really the good guys? The Taliban is against all of the marxist garbage that is destroying and decaying the West. They see the rot and would rather live more primitively than import the poison that has been pushed upon us. I DO NOT like the Taliban, but there are many similarities. Your 12yr old daughters would not dress like prostitutes and have multiple baby daddies and your sons would not mutilate their reproductive organs while watching their countries be taken from them.
make no mistake…the Taliban observed practices the bloody cutting edge fringe of Islam.
all this talk of sharia doesn’t come close to expressing the true nature demonstrated by this death cult.
remember:. there IS a reason why OBL chose Afghanistan as his home plate. as if Saudi Islamic 3xtremism wasn’t enough…he knew that Afghanistan would be fertile recruiting grounds and well protected while assembled a great band powerful “base”.
we don’t understand radical islam for the sane reason we do not understand Satan…we “know” about both, but we have zero experience how either actually operates.
when you see stonings of women who are the unfortunate wives of men who cheated ON THEM, hands cut off for swiping food to feed a hungry mouth, bodies tossed from buildings for the crime of being gay, tongues cut out for not saying a prayer correctly or not fully putting yourself into a proper prone position at the established moment, twice daily, heads crushed for wearing flashy jewelry, raping little girls and boys as a custom…
THEN you get a glimpse into the world of evil..
and still, you have not realized where this evil begins and ends.
these people ARE evil… they live according to death cult rules, because this is where they get their power.
the SS Nazis would have been terrified of them.
Fired? That’s it? These two obese behemoth impostors along with Petraeus, McCrystal, Mattis and the rest of the Millionaires club need to be on trial. Where is the accountability in this Government? Our military was deboned years ago under Obama and now resembles a blind drunk in a pillow fight.
Am I imagining things or does Sec Austin have fingernail polish? Doesn’t instill confidence to know where military leaders’ priorities lie…
These clowns of the Military Industrial Complex are not only going to bankrupt us into oblivion, but they will SURELY manage to kill us all by emboldening our enemies to partake in a FIRST STRIKE! We’ve made HORRIFIC mistakes in judgment, philosophy and honesty on this path and have a VERY short time to change course. Congress is inept and should be adjourned IMMEDIATELY; the DOD needs the retired and purged Generals to be recalled and the heads of EVERY Agency to be re-vetted for conflicts. America cannot survive in a world as corrupt and self-destructive as we ourselves have become. We must change course NOW, then calculate the consequences to the guilty and stupid.
Both Milley and Austin would make a perfect centerpiece in a bouquet of sphincter orifices.
I agree with most of the comments I see below–this was no mistake, and biden knew exactly what was going on, even tho he is a senile pos.
But what I want to see, hear, know—what, as regular american, no power, what can be done, immediately???? Trust me, if I had the skills, I would use them, and the entire administration needs to be gone, and the marxist dems.
Who will be the leader to get this done???? Too bad the ballet is not in town. We could use some soothing.
