The message from one of the leading democrats in the House to stranded Americans in Afghanistan is: “you’re on your own.” John Garamendi (CA) told CNN the U.S. military should not try to rescue stranded Americans outside the Kabul airport. This rings a familiar Benghazi bell…
This is a remarkable statement considering Garamendi is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, and one of the key people who supported, funded and authorized the current mess in Kabul. While his outlook is representative of the ideology of leftists, it is still quite alarming to see a leading U.S. political figure telling desperate Americans there will be no help coming.
Keep in mind the British forces are conducting search and rescue missions to extract their stranded citizens. Quite a contrast. Watch this statement from John Garamendi:
This sounds like a massive hostage situation now….
The though of having more American prisoners held in Parwan and Pul-e-Charkhi, than Talib terrs will be vexing.
So F’em, eh loser?
Of course he’ll probably get reelected again because of ignorance and apathy.
I called my two senators today (the blond witch cheney is a waste) and listed some problems, along with Afghanistan, that the fake biden administration has created, and told them that people need to be held accountable at the highest levels. Barrassos aid wanted to get my mailing info so he could send me a letter. Yippy! I told her no, and said words are meaningless and action is what is needed.
Felt good to get that out there, but it is probably for nothing….except to get my name on some watch list.
Everyone that is a true American here (and our patriotic foreign friends) are already being watched. I wonder how many here are FBI or CIA plants? There are a few….just which posters are they?
BREAKING
https://therightscoop.com/beaking-us-diplomats-at-kabul-embassy-warned-the-state-dept-of-a-possible-catastrophe-with-biden-pullout-plan/
“It turns out that our diplomats at the US Embassy in Kabul actually warned Biden’s State Department more than a month ago of a “possible catastrophe” with Biden’s pull-out strategy in Afghanistan and urged them to do more at the time to get people out of the country:”
I can’t quite put my finger on it, but this vaguely sounds like something similar not too long ago.
WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT is wrong with these GD idiots?!?!
The guy is 76 and has spent a lifetime in political office well beyond his “best if used by” date.
Another poster geezer for term limit.
We are a Cryptocracy.
Ruled by corpses intent on burying us.

Reflections on Afghanistan from a Fellow Soldier
Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday said he spoke to Hillary Clinton Monday night about Afghanistan.
Joe Biden was no where to be found as Afghanistan fell to the Taliban.
On Tuesday National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan confirmed Joe Biden had not spoken to any world leaders.
Biden was hiding out at Camp David.
Now why the h/e/ll would Trudeau call Hitlary? Anyone have any theories? Will Hitlary be installed as new VP?
And, the story is out in nano seconds. These people just can’t ever go away.
Why aren’t f’in Rs screaming for his impeachment!!! (except for MTG). Worthless. Disgusting.
I called my congressman’s office yesterday (Kevin McCarthy) to express my horror at the thought of leaving behind up to 10s of thousands of Americans without making any effort to evacuate them. The lady who took my comment responded by telling me they were actively evacuating Afghanis.
Apparently the Americans are expendable.
That’s a shocking response. DC don’t care. Someone needs to run against McCarthy. He needs to be gone.
Yes it was shocking. I lit into her and told her how evil what she said was. I was flabbergasted.
Glad to hear you lit into her. How she could even relay such a message says alot about her boss, who message she is mimicking.
NAILED IT.
I am absolutely disgusted with ALL the useless, cowardly bastards that are supposedly Repubs.
They have zero honor or shame.
They are going to have the blood of thousands of innocent people on their hands.
Our entire federal government is being run by a bunch of corrupt sociopaths.
They are worse than Ds because they are spineless. Stand for nothing. Fall for everything. Good for nothing except bribes.
Remember though, no third party talk. Bow down to the traitor GOP.
Because Xiden did nothing illegal and Republicans do not want to be political……..the gist of what McCarthy said today
SPIT!
Any response from Congressional Republicans? I haven’t seen any.
Apparently our Rhino Neb Senator Sasse said a few words. Obviously, Republicans never operate under the “let no crisis go to waste” doctrine. And somehow the Brits are managing to go into the Kabul streets and extract their citizens and any others they can find.
Did a random tour of their home pages to see if there were big block letters calling for impeachment or anything of the like and found nothing. A few have sent out the occasional tweet. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand, that’s all folks.
A real opposition party would be screaming to take political advantage. Notice the GOP is not. A fake opposition party.
They are still working on that strongly worded letter…
Proper font selection takes time.
Sundance: “This sounds like a massive hostage situation now….”
…and by design.
Finished it for you.
How does a Democrat administration benefit from a hostage crisis?
Unless they plan to pay ransom and then claim they got all the hostages home?
They will be slaughtered. Disappeared. There won’t be any live hostages in due time. Tailbun doesn’t need $$ and illegit occupier released eveyone.
Yah. This was a set-up. Planned.
the killing and hostages will be to further humiliate and delegitimize US power.
so far it’s working pretty well.
noting:. CCP has already made political recognition of the Taliban as a formal state!!! so this means really that any funds witheld by the IMF is if zero consequence.
we are watching a total and utter failure of THIS ADMINISTRATION to understand geo political threats and a complete abandonment of foreign policy.
CCP has now filled the vacuum…as planned…as predicted.
total goat hump joe malarkey!!
Hmmm, who wants to see A. hostages murdered? Hmmmm? Me? Dont care. Pssst, it ALL a lie. Not just the lies, butt the trues, too. F. U.
I wonder what US Senator from VA, Democrat Mark Warner, and his involvement in this catastrophe
I hear Fort Lee is awaiting Afghan “refugees”. We live 70 miles from there. Oh, joy.
British SAS and French Commandos are in action to rescue their people.
Security Risks Inside the Armed Services Committee?
https://link.theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/security-risks-inside-the-armed-services-committee_3954660.html
From Epoch Times
Surprised that Peelosi didn’t put some of AOC’s broadSquad on that committee; after all they hate Americans about as much as the terrorists in the Middle East hate us.
Garamendi became prominent as insurance commissioner here in California, much the way Kamala Harris did as Secretary of State. Unlike KH, he wasn’t half bad, though he never seemed to know exactly how insurance works. Guess we could say the same now: he doesn’t really know what armies are for.
What a Buffoon!! You can’t fix stupid!!
I pray that we don’t realize the downside of this event. The elites have failed us, and I want them purged. But I just want all of my countrymen to get home safely.
.
We just sent thousands in. Some of them are barely out of their teens. They weren’t there to advance their private careers or profits. I, for one, want them all out.
What’s good for the CCP in this situation: a protracted humiliating hostage situation with executions to demoralize the US.
I have a really bad feeling.
Islam is a religion governing people. Two weeks ago Islam had *members* because they didn’t have land and borders. On Sunday Islam announced the new name of their new governing body of Islam. Now we’ll begin to hear about the new *citizens* of Islam.
Islam doesn’t allow other religions citizenship. Afghanistan is now a bordered land ruled by one religion. Breaking Islam’s laws means punishment under religious law. Islam will never be political first. You may misunderstand their negotiations but each one is about money to spread Islam, over the whole earth. They said so Sunday night when they took Kabul.
Money pays for troops to destroy other religions. Nationality is political. We demand passports to cross political borders. Islam demands you be Muslim to cross onto Muslim land. Muslim’s punish by religious laws not political laws. Why don’t Americans get this?
Afghanistan will destroy all voices, habits, ideas, practices that even smack of “freedom”which infiltrated into Muslim life; freedom is not their value. Conformity is the value. The stricter the better, the more religious. Political China practices the same ruthless conformity. Same mind, different leaders. There isn’t any gray, middle, or grace or mercy or forgiveness or leniency of the court.
Islam is evil. Period.
In what f*ckin world does the US Military NOT go back for every citizen left behind? They do they for every soldier, or at least they used to.
Q: And in what f*ckin world do they not get people out first so they don’t have to go back?
A: In an insane world run by evil tyrants lusting for complete control.
.
What American citizens are there who did not have a headsup to leave? Is there a news article somewhere about particular Americans who are stuck? I have been asking for info for two days; haven’t got any.
About 2 weeks ago, the news reported the state dept told Americans to leave Afghanistan immediately. To me, immediately means today or at the latest tomorrow. My question is why didn’t they?
Next step in the disaster. “Biden” admin considering airstrikes to try to retrieve even more military equipment that we’ve just discovered the Taliban can grab, use, sell, etc.

PICK YOUR HYPOTHESIS:
— True/false. There actually are few to no Americans “trapped” or at risk. Those who are there, contractors or journalists or operatives or whoever, either know and get along okay with Taliban they have been working with, or else have private means of getting out.
— True/false. American civilians in Afghanistan were given a warning headsup and told, with enough time to do so, either to get to Kabul airport or to get out of the country altogether. Assumption of risk.
— True/false. Military actually is conducting some covert rescue operations but it’s not cool to advertise.
— True/false. There is a massive power struggle going on among various factions of the U.S. government — WH, Congress, State Department, Pentagon, intelligence community — and they’re looking to point blame elsewhere.
— True/false. The media piece is not about Americans “trapped” or at risk. Listen carefully. Look carefully. They are not talking about Americans. They are talking about Afghanis.
Too true!
YES. WaPost all concerned about preserving Afghan “cultural heritage”. Not a damn peep about US CITIZENS TRAPPED IN THIS HELLSCAPE.
There is probably some truth to all of the above.
Smells like an another Benghazi situation. Loose ends.

Read carefully. These articles include “Afghanis”. “Brits and Afghan allies…”
How many “American civilians”? No one says. A few who maybe were working for British profiteers? Are there three Americans, five Brits, an Irishman and thousands of Afghan citizens in the vague phraseology?
I want to know before we start hand-wringing and going back into combat.
A Cavuto favorite on his show.
I didn’t know that could stack shiite that high.
Obama will direct all U.S. media assets to declare all Americans have been removed and all is well. No story to cover. Reports of Taliban atrocities and holding American/Western hostages for ransom are false. And 85% of American will believe the propganda they are fed.
Why do the stupidest ones come from CA?
Its the ocean air man….
Cthulu’s whispers.
You’re on your own, folks.
Hope you can make it Kabul before the Americans decide to pull out altogether.
That’s what the man said.
She should’ve asked him why they shut Bagram AF Base down last month.
Could’ve come in handy right about now.
The question was asked and answered in the Pentagon brief. They didn’t have enough troops in country to secure both the embassy, the military portion of the Kabul airport and Bagram. The state dept. had to have access to get their people out of Kabul so the U. S. commander in Afghanistan ordered Bagram shut down. I don’t see that he had much choice based on the withdrawal orders of the Commander in Chief.
The short answer would be, elections have consequences.
Let’s hope the Taliban tells the world about the sex scandals that we facilitated while administering this last war against Afghanistan.
We think we look bad now …
I’m pretty certain you’ll have both sides pushing issues that will intentionally amount to failure in this.
The economy is in the tank and we need a good hostage excuse to re-invade. Our existence requires our number one GDP export .. war!
Arrest him for TREASON. I WOULD NOT GO NEAR ANY MILITARY BASES IF I WAS HIM, AND I WOULD ALSO RESIGN FROM ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE. THIS NEEDS TO BE PUBLISHED FAR AND WIDE……Anyone who reelects some like this is a complete and utter 24kt JERK
Guys,
let’s be real…
None of these 5,000-10,000 people are actually “Americans”
There aren’t thousands upon thousands of American contractors living peacefully in Kabul.
These are Afghans with a worthless piece of paper (aka an American passport they gained from “refugee” status) who are either visiting family back home or have actually moved back for some kind of work.
Leave them. Please leave them. It’s the patriotic thing to do.
One of them is the next Ilhan Omar marrying her brother , or worse a mass shooter.
Good riddance.
This sounds like a massive hostage situation now….
Rosiememos@almostjingo—I’m so confused, historically a plane or chopper etc. that crashes in enemy territory is always destroyed so the technology can’t be stolen or the equipment repurposed. Why did we just hand over everything to the Taliban? Was that part of a deal?
Basket of Neanderthals Dr. Alex KarmanCross—In the surrender, they agreed to forfeit all weapons and equipment, and American hostages, and leave. In exchange, the Taliban promised not to attack during the military retreat, and release the hostages after the military was completely gone. The document will surface soon.
I’ve seen it suggested elsewhere that we didn’t bomb or destroy the equipment we left behind in exchange for safe passage out.
Have also seen it suggested the reason our soldiers aren’t going on rescue missions in Kabul like the Brits and French because that is ALSO part of the safe passage deal.
Basically what you just said, but I saw each piece from different sources…except the idea the Americans are being held in essence for the ransom of our military equipment
Who are these Americans in Afghanistan?
I believe Erik Prince said there were 2.something contractors for every us soldier. There are also all the leftwing NGO folks.
Hey, Garamendi, Biden has all kinds of weapons to use if he so chose to use them.
I see you’ve been brought into the fold of the Plan.
democrat hailing from
SACKLESS TOWN!!
these kinds of people ARE the MOST dangerous to a nation.
cowardice..
.lilly livered yellow bellied scarecrows who only know one answer when confronted with a challenge:
RUN AWAY
“There will be significant loss of life on both sides”
Both sides? You low life utter imbecile. We don’t give a shit about the loss of life ON THEIR SIDE.
We don’t care if a thousand of them die in order to extract one, just one American/Australian etc.
Vile anti-American piece of shit has no business being at the capitol.
Sorry he wasn’t there in Kabul or any where else’s in Afghanistan with those he’s in favor of sacrificing.
I left a “message” for this POS at his office. It was NOT a pretty one. I would suggest everyone here call or e/m this POS and do the same BUT no threats unless you want the Gestapo at your door.
I keep thinking that this is the kind of situation where suddenly, Trump sends in Trump Force One, lands a bunch of retired Navy Seals at the Kabul airport, and loads up the plane to rescue as many Americans as he can…

I’m wondering if the JoeBama administration is leaving the Americans on their own because of the 17,000 reported “independent contractors” still in country?
Woundn’t want those “disappointed” people Stateside now, would they…
Garamandi should be airdropped into Kabul and allowed to fend for himself. At least the British government has enough integrity left to do the right this by its citizens trapped there.
American leftists are nihilists. What’s bad is good.
That logic has only grown over the decades, and is now mainstream leftist dogma.
The Iranian hostage crisis was a good and pleasurable thing to American leftists. The rescue attempt came after a long wait, and was still a poorly planned and half-hearted effort (sound familiar?).
The mainstream Left would like to see another hostage crisis, only bigger, much bigger.
The hippie Left of the 1960s – peace and love, I want to buy the world a Coke – has been replaced by savages. Look at Antifa: violence and destruction is entirely the point.
this is some real .gov shight,
FUBAR
Seek cover

They all need to be dropped in Afghanistan, No support system!
Thousands of Americans held hostage by Taliban thugs will undoubtedly focus American attention AWAY FROM election fraud. That’s the point. If the US government wanted any other outcome, there would be another outcome.
NEVER trust government.
