Keeping in mind that State Department personnel are delicate wallflowers prone to exaggerated proclamations of situations, a report from U.S. embassy staff in Afghanistan trying to reach the airport contrasts a different narrative than currently outlined by the White House.
According to state department cables released to NBC news, some of the Afghan staff said they would rather take a bullet from the Taliban rather than attempt another effort to run the gauntlet and reach the Kabul airport.
(Via NBC) […] The cable, which was sent Saturday, said memos were sent Wednesday inviting Afghan staff members at the embassy to head to Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. It told them to take food and to prepare for difficult conditions. “However, no one anticipated the brutal experience that occurred,” the cable said.
Staffers reported being jostled, hit, spat on and cursed at by Taliban fighters at checkpoints near the airport, it said, adding that criminals were taking advantage of the chaos while the U.S. military tried to maintain order “in an extremely physical situation.”
Some staff members reported that they were almost separated from their children, while others collapsed in a crush of people and had to be taken to hospitals with injuries, the cable said. Others said they had collapsed on the road because of heat exhaustion, it said.
“It would be better to die under the Taliban’s bullet” than face the crowds again, a staff member was quoted as saying in the cable. “Happy to die here, but with dignity and pride,” another said. (read more)
This issue was raised again today to the State Department.

Meanwhile, back in the White House, Press Secretary Jen Psaki said: “It’s irresponsible to say that Americans are stranded.” WATCH:
Taliban lashing a women.
May God take vengeance against ever Taliban person and every politician who over 20 years benefited $$$ from our being in Afghan and for not annihilating Taliban.

I’m sure she thinks the “withdraw” was a success.
We don’t really know when this video was taken. It could be as presented, or it could be years old.
Everything you see COULD be propaganda….just OUR media. Disbelieve everything until proven true.
if crossfire hurricane proved anything. if hunter’s laptop . . . if the gulf of tonkin . . .
indeed it could. as for those afghans who got jostled, cursed, hit, and spat on going to the airport, it would be entirely within the realm of the rule of law if they, after a trial and a conviction for treason, for that is what their deeds were when seen from the taliban perspective, they had been lined up against a wall and shot.
that’s what often happens when civil wars end. not all are as magnanimous as lincoln. or the taliban.
Re “that’s what often happens when civil wars end. not all are as magnanimous as lincoln. or the taliban.”
First of all, only an historically poorly informed ignoramus could believe the actions of either Lincoln or the Taliban should be considered “magnanimous.” Secondly, there was no trial and conviction for treason in this situation. The Taliban thugs are acting out of revenge, not justice.
jx, whether its years old or recent this is what they do – they did it 700 years ago they do it today and they will do it 700 years hence. Stop trying to paint them as a changed benevolent tribe.
But GW Bush said the bad guys didn’t represent the “religion of peace.”
@J X: According to the Intercept, Heshmat Paalavi is a persona created by exiled members of the (marxist) Mujahadeen Khalq, operating from Albania. You choose who or what to believe…

It’s Afghanistan. The video could be a thousand years old.
How do you sleep at night?
Very well.
Casting doubt…. Oh, look, a new troll.
Accept everything unquestioningly… oh look, a fool.
I always said that every time we came to a village of Taliban, we should have shot each and every one, leaving the women and children.
The world needs for them not to be able to breed.
The Russians tried that. They are like cockroaches.
86/46 because he ain’t
but like the israelis who have taught you, neither they nor the u.s. military they substantially control seem to have had the whatever it is to do that. doubt you do either.
talk is cheap.
Re “I always said that every time we came to a village of Taliban, we should have shot each and every one, leaving the women and children. The world needs for them not to be able to breed.”
It’s duly noted that when God sent the Jews to the Land of Canaan, He ordered them to kill every man, woman, child and beast therein. They failed to do so and paid a huge price for not following God’s command.
I don’t know that similar action would be condoned by God in this case; but, I think it’s a pretty safe bet that as long as the Taliban exist, they will create havoc and chaos throughout the world.
Today they bake, tomorrow they brew
Then all humanity in shariah or death they plan to stew

Mostly peaceful “discipline”.
What the heck kind of answer is that given to Andrea Mitchell??? The secretary and the President are on the same page????
It’s too late the media cant massage this and now theyve taken sides. Some work for the dems some work for the state department. Biden cant recover from this and the dems dont want Kammy to take over yet. I’m waiting to see what Dr Jill does when the knives are poised over Joey’s back. Should be a hoot.

How many weapons were left in Afghanistan? – “we don’t know”
How many Americans are stranded in Afghanistan? – “we don’t know”
How many Americans have been evacuated? – “we don’t know”
How many Afghans working for the US government have been evacuated? – “we don’t know”
Who decided to cede Kabul to the Taliban then operate from an airport surrounded by the Taliban? We don’t know.
Actually, it was “we don’t care!”
Who is really in charge in the USA? – We don’t know & way too many don’t give a f**k!!!
Back to the “Mad Cow Saga”….they know every cow who had it, who its parents were/are, what ranch it is one and where its stall is on said ranch.
In the digitized age of surveillance…they know where they are. We know they know where they are. They know we know they know…
They know what bank I went to today., and what gas station. They know how many times I flushed my toilet, today and at what time.
They don’t know? I have some prime real estate on the south side, for sale…
Pilots have passenger lists…? They have to have some sort of manifest, if nothing else, for fuel calculations and other data that is necessary for flying those big C-17’s…..?
Pilots out there in Treeperland? Lets hear from you!
The FAA sent me a plastic card that says so, so I’ll answer this one. I don’t fly C-17’s, mostly helicopters. The big planes do their calculations on average weights per pax, I think it’s 182 lbs summer, 187 winter now. Military and government aircraft fly all the time without a “passenger manifest” or every passenger being named or listed. Not like the airlines at all. Plus, in exigent circumstances, combat, disasters…. you do rough and hasty calculations, and go with it.
But we sure as hell know who hasn;t taken the VACCINE.
She will spread her legs for someone else of importance. It runs in the family.
Re “I’m waiting to see what Dr Jill does when the knives are poised over Joey’s back. Should be a hoot.”
“Dr” Jill is an opportunist who will always look out for numerus uno. That’s why she became Jill BIDEN to begin with. However, a time will come when he’s no longer useful to her. When that time comes, don’t be surprised if she’s the first in line with the longest knife….
I had the same reaction. Then, silly me I had to remember that all answers are non-answers. If you remember that AND the new golden rule that nothing makes sense, everything is backwards and upside-down, and evil is in charge, it all comes into view.
Hard to believe to believe that SlowJoe has an equal but apparently they are equally incompetent and corrupt.
Willful ignorance and corrupt. Just Saying.
Incomplete as the Keystone Cops, they are following the script completely not quite Oscar nomination material, maybe.
America is watching…they know what is going on. They also know that this would not be happening if Trump were President of the United States of America. This disaster exposes the Obama/Biden administration exactly for what it is: the most incompetent presidency in history, resulting in real, catastrophic consequences in terms of human tragedy and in terms of incalculable loss of prestige and power of the United Staes of America. We can only hope that Republicans….patriotic Republicans will sweep the Senate and House elections of 2022.
They believe that once all troops and reporters are out of Kabul, the stories and video will stop and Americans will forget and worry about other things.
Until the hostage and execution footage starts making the rounds.
And as sure as the sun rises in the East that will happen. They love beheading people and filming it for the whole world to see.
lest they forget the Islamic Jihadists are PROUD of their accomplishments and executions…unless Google/YT changes their policy, expect to see many of their vids there soon

Well, if we are talking about Mitt, McStain, Lindsey, Sasse, McConnell et al yeah you’re right. Not all Republicans are RINO’s. All Democrats are Democrats.
The whole world is watching this debacle.
And please Republicans? You see Cheney and Kinzinger? They are simply the face of the uniparty warmongers…lots more repubs where they came from.
You didn’t read the part ‘patriotic republicans’.
lapel pins and having served don’t mean anything if you are part of the problem, which is most of them.
When I see Kinzinger’s name, my blood pressure rises by 40 points. IL 16th District, winter is coming…

Except Joe Biden and the Pentagon.
Joe is busy napping and the Pentagon is busy preaching the new religion CRT/Wokism/LGBTQLMNOPXYZ.
And they’ll start watching the AZ audit news. The World will blame Dems for the fall of America.
Is it incompetence, or are they accomplishing exactly what they want to accomplish?
That’s a great question.
Can the Biden administration* be this stupid?
I don’t think so.
the yinon plan was to make failed states of as many possible opponents of israel as could be done. libya is the success story, iran the el dorado always just a bit out of reach.
afghanistan could prove even more detrimental to the global war on terror should the taliban keep their eyes on the main chance and work with their allies iran, russia, and china to truly take advantage of what peace, a young workforce, and stupendous natural resources could mean, especially in the context of the new silk road.
9-11 was good for israel, 8-15 not so much.
There is no question at all. They are doing what they have wanted to do for many decades, but were held back out of fear of Americans. Now they no longer fear us so they are free to do whatever they want.
Oh…..waiting for the charge of the fag GOP….
Disregard the flag lapel pins. Most of these muthaf@ckers are compromised and ball-less. There is no cavalry. The very few with stones are being shunned by the people you speak of. The cancerous media, 24/7 wages war on anyone that truly wants to defend our Nation.
WITH the machines not possible…without them…maybe
Election fraud has consequences
Not for those who planned and committed the fraud!
We have elected those “patriotic” Republicans before based out outrages that the Dems have committed. They have promised many times to “drain the swamp” and the like and yet they are consumed by the creatures lurking therein. In my lifetime I remember handing the “patriotic’ Republicans the Senate, the House and the Presidency only to watch in dismay as they squandered the political advantage, many “coming out” or being unmasked as RINOs. So I have doubts about the legitimacy of the Republican Party and still believe that DJT wasted a golden opportunity to form a viable 3rd party, ala the Tea Party and regrettably tried to make a go of it with the GOP….. who promptly turned on him for the most part. Our political system is obviously broken.
Absolutely spot on.
when that happens and Biden is still President, let us hope he is still this president Biden.
If the Nov election is not overturned and those responsible for the fraud executed, there won’t BE an election in 2020.
Not close enough! While we are watching this they are trying to pass 5 trillion in communism today programs.
Like most people needed to be reminded how inept Ovomit-BiteMe were for 8 torturous years! The election was stolen, and maybe . . . . maybe someday we’ll get the nerve to do something about it (before it’s too late).
Anyone putting a happy face on the carnage in Kabul should never again be accepted in a polite society. Psaki may shill for her masters, but in a sane world, would and should be ostracized.
It’s the Alinsky way: deny, deny, deny. State falsehoods over and over until some people think it must be the truth.
Give plausible deniability, always, to your party.
Give us a break. We never even heard of Af … Afga … whatever it’s called … until just last week.
Could you imagine if President Trump and his staff/administration lied through their teeth every day like these MFers do?
Well, every time Pres Trump spoke when he was in office he was lying. He lies to this day, everything he says is a lie!

This so-called “FDA approval” is in direct violation of the Pure Food and Drug Act which created this agency, and I feel very sure that a Federal Judge – perhaps the one in Alabama that is now evaluating the “emergency use authorization” debacle – will quickly issue an injunction. This action is plainly illegal.
Nothing is “plainly illegal” anymore in this corrupt banana republic two tier Justice system we have! As long as obama Federal Judges continue to get the big Constitution cases and President Trump appointed Federal Judges get the man bites dog cases! Lawfare can create legal mumbo jumbo to get the obama judges to create new law without needing Congress. Hope you’re right!
Every single thing this unlawful, treasonous dictatorship says or does is illegal.
Don’t fall for the LIES from the WH & Pentagon.
Another beating/lashing, full force, on a woman. It’s appalling. Why is there one Taliban living? Taliban is pure evil & so our the politicians who let them live for another day of evil.
I am truly sorry for saying this, but this behavior is what these goat molesters have doing for centuries. WTF are we Westerners doing demanding that they suddenly change their ways because we have injected womens’ studies and gender equality into their academic systems?! I am not saying that they are right. I am saying that you cannot think that your sense of right works in a foreign mindset. Imagine a spaceship landing and tell us in the US to stop having children, as an example, or the world was going to end. Would you just accept this notion or fight it. When we tried in the 70’s and 80’s to help curb overpopulation in Africa, the good doers distributed condoms– in an attempt to stop starvation, based on the lack of food. The Africans hung the condoms from their ears as decorations.
Wake up, people. This is Natural Selection.

Biden and his handlers are dangerous and an existential threat to our national security. Impeach! Go MTG.
We kicked Taliban a$$ for 20 years and now we are begging them to let us get our people out. Shameful at the least
6000 troops and we can’t get our folks out when 2500 kept Taliban in check and did not lose a soldier for a 1 1/2 years. It is a travesty.
I was supportive of our troops leaving AFG, but it had to be done with honor, not running away with our tails tucked between our legs and begging for mercy to terrorists. China, Russia and Iran must know they can act with impunity.
This wasn’t a ‘withdrawal’ … this isn’t ‘cowering’ … this is unconditional surrender, it is entirely deliberate on the part of the American military command. For this reason, I sincerely believe, it is also: treason.
Agreed Mike.
Do not disagree. There objective is to make USA look weak. Not to parse words but I pray the wrath of God descends upon the Taliban and the Biden administration who initiated and allowed this travesty. Whatever happened to leave no one behind? The “intended mistakes” leaves no doubt it was planned.
Not just treason but also MURDER.
Umm, maybe we didn’t kick their a$$ for 20 years. Maybe we kicked the a$$ of the wrong people and made alot of enemies in the process. Maybe the Taliban are the freedom fighters that St. Ronald Reagan called them. Maybe we did this all wrong.
Every in Washington knows
Biden didn’t win
He was a moron even before the dementia
He’s a child-toucher and woman-claw
He’s for sale to the highest China
and he’s an figurehead run by the Obama Syndicate.
They’re burning him up to reach the Radiant Future and building a New and Permanent Hostage Crisis.
Everyone knows it–and no one will say it.
I ran Trump’s Afghan withdrawal — Biden’s attempt to blame us is sad (nypost.com): Kash Patel:
“Amid this cheap political rhetoric, ignorance of the ground-level security situation and the lack of a conditions-based plan, Afghanistan has fallen. America and the world deserve much better from those privileged to serve in high office. We are witnessing the utter collapse of a government — and not just in Afghanistan.”
They thought they were so f***ing smart, they deserved to steal the election from the American People with impunity. Entitled, even. They were as gods.
Look at you now. If you can stomach it.

I relish the day that Obama is called out, caught and pays the price, along with Biden et al, who are treasonous traitors.
Every dog has it’s day.
I’ll believe it when I see it in person, not on a tv or any other media.
To this day and all the years prior, I’ve often wondered how one gets a direct connect to the Media by sending these cables.

Every one of these yahoos are lying to our faces.
Afghanistan was a NATO operation, not a JoeBama operation.
There are operational, withdrawal, and contingency plans drawn up with our NATO Partners. Certain parts of those plans purposely interact with, and are dependent on, the plans and actions of other NATO partners.
There are military officers who do nothing but develop, work on, war game, and re-design those plans.
All you vets know exactly what I’m talking about.
When has any of the JoeBama spokesmen mentioned the efforts of our fellow NATO partners, and the coordination of our military with the militaries of the NATO partners involved in Afghanistan?
They haven’t.
Sure wish one of those Snakes in the Snake News would get their head out of their arse and play pretend journalist just once.
NATO’s initial response was: “where the f**k did you people go without telling us?!”
Damn good question. Professional military forces “never surrender.” And they damn sure never do sh*t like this!!
And now, how much NATO equipment, perhaps including secret equipment, is now forever in enemy hands?!
Good points. As for the “secret equipment” that may have fallen in enemy hands it’s not the Taliban we should be concerned about, but their protectors and “allies” from Russia and China, who will be more than overjoyed to get their hands on this bounty of sensitive weapons. How nice of Joe to do this for them.

Maybe one of the goals of this debacle is to get our NATO partners to abandon us in disgust.
No, they like the money we spend. You know we are helping them build back better from WWII.

She has deliberately abandoned Biden, because she doesn’t want the stain of this catastrophic failure rubbing off on her

She’s already acting as if she’s in charge.
Tomorrow is Vagina Hat Day at the State Department.
Maybe if they wear them, a path will split through the crowds for them to makr their way to the airport. Out of the way, Afghani deplorables!
I’m dare say I’m not the only one who thinks it’d be OK if the Taliban used some of those 556s that were paid with my tax dollars to fulfill the desires of those Embassy Wallflowers.
There is quite a difference in the way the press treated Kayleigh McEnany compared to the Circle Back Bitch.

When your only hope is the amazing cardboard president, you are scrud!
That’s what I was thinking. He wouldn’t help anyone ( but a Biden) when he had brain cells….now? Forget about it.
U.S. State Department employees (America-hating Leftists) are trapped in Kabul? What is the downside?
Maybe this is the means to break the military free from serving the usurper. We may need them very soon.
Sometimes you have to empty the whole magazine on FA to get their attention and make a point.
I thought the reports that the US had stopped paying the members of the Afghan Army were very strange. What slim hope a realistic person might have had that they would fight the Taliban once we left would obviously approach absolute zero.
Now I read that we did continue the payments just to the Kabul Government which was suppose to pay them, but guess what happened? Who would have ever guessed?
No wonder the Afghan President lit out with stuffed bags of cash.
In addition to civilians, how will our own 5,200 soldiers extract themselves. There are only 7 days left until the Aug 31 deadline. When will they start leaving and how will the airport be secured as their airplanes depart. I cannot envision how this is going to happen. I hope and pray there is a plan.
Joe’s plan is to trust the Tally E Ban.
Exactly. I’ve been think about that last plane out for a couple of days.
I’ve also been thinking about the crews of the last planes and the crews who were forced to fly away from Bagram AFB.
You know they didn’t do it willingly. I can’t imagine the fury, the disgust, the looks exchanged between them, how they managed to retain crew discipline and use all the skills required as they were all raging inside…..living a nightmare.
Will they ever be able to tell what those hours were like?
I fear our soldiers will be forced to shoot their way out. What a horror if we are forced into a situation to defend ourselves from the very Afghans we went there to help. Wouldn’t that be the ultimate victory for the Taliban.
Nothing so far indicates there is anything like a plan. ?
Considering the amount of weaponry AND money left behind for the Taliban, I believe this was all planned. And the Americans & Afghans left behind are considered disposable by the Xiden administration.
China seems quite pleased about this, while they mock the US for all that is going on there. Given the past actions and deeds done under Obama with Benghazi, I certainly agree this was planned, but as Obama said, don’t underestimate Biden’s ability to F things up.
Things got out of hand quickly thanks to the demented fool who was installed in the WH.

This administration makes the perfect case for our historic American Meritocracy:
Option A – Work hard, learn your lessons and cut your teeth on your failures and successes, so that when the time comes for you to call the shots you are surrounded by a competent team that you built and you make the RIGHT CALL. Or,
Option B – Cheat your way through life. Take the easy route. Steal an election. And why the F not? Everything is given to you with no consequences. But sooner or later, your uncut teeth will show your true mettle.
Biden and Team = Option B
This makes the murders of Amb Stevens and the Operators at Benghazi look like a party in comparison. This is blatant, open murder by omission for the government is literally turning their backs on every American in the country.
If this does not lead to the arrest of the entire administration for murder, what will?
Yes and Benghazi Hillary is taking the calls from world leaders ??
Why is anyone still at the embassy? Shouldn’t the flag have been the last thing to leave?

As President Trump said of this entire fiasco: It is as if the Captain abandoned ship first…..
abandoned the ship, the tanks, the helicopters, the rifles, the ammo …
Sleaze Ben Sasse to the rescue.
It’s often difficult to receive reliable news without distortion or added aggravation. Bless CTH et al.
I recorded “Outnumbered” when I saw that former bomb tech Joey Jones would be on. It was an excellent discussion until Harris played a segment from Wallace’s “Fox News Sunday” that I had deliberately avoided.
Suddenly the oleaginous Ben Sasse appeared to utter his disgust about Biden’s “stupidity” etc. How he could pretend to be on the right side of this debacle after he did everything he could to impede and criticize P Trump and aid the election of stupid deranged Biden is perplexing. Now, he’s suddenly a brilliant expert on the military and foreign policy.
He once again expressed his supercilious disdain for the American people’s intelligence when he said:
“I don’t think the American people fully appreciate the dangers and the peril the President has put us in…” Sasse should have added; “the peril Biden and RINO’s like me put us in.”
Always a sasshole.
Agreed. Bet that animal voted for pedo in chief. One of many rinos need to be voted out. Never forget .
Where are YOU, Dick Cheney?!?
“Help is on the way” . . .
that’s what you said, perched on top of a destroyer, just like our USN’s “Cole” that had been attacked in Aden . . .
the Bush-Cheney 2000 Campaign got that good ad out there to tell the folks, “help is on the way” if you vote for Bush-Cheney
d’ya have ANYTHING for the unknown thousands of Americans STRANDED in Afghanistan?
what does George say?
Oh, get off it Ms Psaki … the Biden regime is the very embodiment of irresponsibility, abandoning thousands in Afghanistan while Democrats, drunk with power-lust hold huge parties with food, drink, and dance; oblivious to the horror they have created by the regime’s negligence, with a pretend leader that doubtless needs help getting dressed by his attending handlers.
UH (uh, Uh, uh, Uh, uh)
…………………. the Afgans ~>fleEd
Project Veritas announced another whistleblower coming forward.
This time from The Dept of Homeland Security.
Dear GOD, let this be Snowden kinda of stuff x 10.
Come on, we need people to expose the corruption.
Praying
Forget Afghanistan! Forget about covid and mask mandates and vaccine mandates. Forget about stolen elections.
For the first time since Obama, the first pro basketball team has visited the WH! And that, my friends, is big. It’s huge. It’s headline news at this very moment. The monumental importance of this visit cannot be overstated.

and will CNN be replaying their special program “The History of the Sitcom” when there is not anything ELSE to report?
Like ISIS, the Taliban are a 6th or 7th Century inspired death cult that will naturally attract every deranged Afghan and foreigner with a yearning to kill and dominate. It’s a magnet for the worst type of humanity but at the top are devious Islamist theocrats that are experts at manipulating vacuous and bloodthirsty minds to build murderous caliphates .
There is no form of brutality that this death cult won’t exercise at will on a victim of any age. Biden will be the worst betrayer of the American people in history for a second and even worst time if he leaves any American to die in this 1st front hellhole without a reasonable use of his military powers.
His 2nd front open border policy is allowing millions of unknown illegal aliens to enter at will. The number of terrorists, criminals, MS 13 savages and other undesirables that are being aided and transported across the country is unknown. I suspect it’s a far greater number than the Americans that are trapped and on their own in Afghanistan. Assisting and comforting criminals is a greater priority than stranded Americans.
The truth about Afghanistan. Paul Watson video.
“My God! Are you Americans, or what?!”
You simply allowed(!) “persons unknown” to steal your vote(!) from you …
… “as though you somehow did not realize that there is a war going on!”
No. Not in Afghanistan. In your own country.
Y-O-U are at war. And the enemy that you now fight is within(!) your gates!
If they now determine that they can steal your vote – indeed, “steal your vote so very easily(!)” – and actually get away with it …
Google this: “President John Adams quotes.”
Americans evidently aren’t what they used to be.
