Earlier today the occupant of the White House, or someone on his behalf, released a written statement on the current status of the Afghanistan crisis:
WHITE HOUSE – “This morning, I met with my national security team in Washington and my commanders in the field. We discussed the strike that U.S. forces took last night against the terrorist group ISIS-K in Afghanistan. I said we would go after the group responsible for the attack on our troops and innocent civilians in Kabul, and we have. This strike was not the last. We will continue to hunt down any person involved in that heinous attack and make them pay. Whenever anyone seeks to harm the United States or attack our troops, we will respond. That will never be in doubt. I thanked General McKenzie for his leadership of that mission, and for his commitment to the safety of our troops in Afghanistan.
The situation on the ground continues to be extremely dangerous, and the threat of terrorist attacks on the airport remains high. Our commanders informed me that an attack is highly likely in the next 24-36 hours. I directed them to take every possible measure to prioritize force protection, and ensured that they have all the authorities, resources and plans to protect our men and women on the ground. They assured me that they did, and that they could take these measures while completing the mission and safely retrograding our personnel.
Despite the treacherous situation in Kabul, we are continuing to evacuate civilians. Yesterday, we brought out another 6,800 people, including hundreds of Americans. And today, we discussed the ongoing preparations to help people continue to leave Afghanistan after our military departs.
The 13 service members that we lost were heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our highest American ideals and while saving the lives of others. Their bravery and selflessness has enabled more than 117,000 people at risk to reach safety thus far. May God protect our troops and all those standing watch in these dangerous days. (read more)
They bombed a random cave, killed a couple of random cavemen.
Note that the POS avoids saying “high-profile targets” which could mean the military might not even know who they killed. They were probably ordered to bomb something, anything. How could they find the “planners” so quickly, and in a remote location, if they were unable to find American citizens in Kabul? No, seriously?
Anyway, Taliban and ISIS don’t seem to be intimidated if the situation on the ground continues to be extremely dangerous.
Taliban does not mind because that land is their homeland.
It’s all a lie!
Smoke and mirrors. Appearances only.
Or as SD says, “chaff and countermeasures.”
Just like the Mad Cow Saga and cow #1, or my toilet flush frequency…they know and they knew where to find them.
IMHO, this statement is and advance CYA statement: “and ensured that they have all the authorities, resources and plans to protect our men and women on the ground. They assured me that they did, and that they could take these measures while completing the mission and safely retrograding our personnel”.
And yet they refuse to name the individuals they supposedly killed. Why? What’s the big secret?
Do they think the terrorists won’t know which of their “high-profile” people have been vaporized?
Is it out of respect for the terrorist next of kin notification process?
Or are we being bullshot yet again by this feckless bunch of liars?
Way too convenient. They let ISIS out of prison, somebody from ISIS (allegedly) yells CNN that they are going to “strike” AFTER WE LEAVE, and now it’s “see, what more proof do you want, we’d better get back in there or we’ll be fighting them over here”.
No we won’t, because they already were getting what they wanted.
…..my opinion, based on war combat experience, Americans (dual or single card Americans) in Afgh can expect Mid-Evil slaughter. My bet is on the 20th. anniversary of 11 Sept.
I thought the soy “spokespersons” from the Pentagon and State Dept . said we had handed over all our equipment etc. Where was the drone launched from and by whom? Where did they get the intel to pinpoint some terrorist, wrapped in sheets, and take him out? They didn’t know how many or where our US citizens were. I don’t believe anything these corrupt traitors say!
Yes! How many Americans are still there?!
Pretty sure the drone got a couple camels, some goats and a dozen or so sheep.
In a nutshell, DISGRACEFUL! And to think this disgraceful hairsniffing pathological liar will be interned at Arlington National cemetery.
THAT POS is NOT going to buried in Arlington, not if We the People have anything to say about it… I’m a Geologist, I’ve got several shovels and rock hammers – I can help ensure that, should be actually be interred there in whatever state or form, he’s gonna end up in disinterred…
grrlocks…YOU will have more help than you will ever know.
We meet at the courthouse and ride from there…
I’m in.
THE BIDEN RELEASE.
sir, we have an official meme.
stand back, this one is as noxious as you imagine it would be.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/08/28/cardin-there-are-a-few-hundred-u-s-citizens-in-afghanistan-most-of-them-probably-have-made-a-decision-to-stay/
“On Saturday’s ‘CNN Newsroom,’ Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) said there are still ‘a few hundred American citizens that are in Afghanistan.” And “We think most of them probably have made a decision to stay.'”
A few hundred????
Probably want to stay????
Waiting for meme with burning building and firefighters standing around asking each other if they think the rest “want to stay”
How much was he paid to say that? Maybe he’s brainwashed and actually believes it.
That person is dumber than a pile of rocks.
Having no way out is not a decision to stay.

The mother is one of those deplorable Trump supporters. Most likely, her son and the others killed were, too. The anti-American forces behind Biden who actually made the decision to knowingly put her son and his fellow soldiers in imminent danger most likely knew that. They want ALL Trump supporters dead; ESPECALLY, the ones in the military.

Well … Biden has done it. He’s turned the US Military into blue-helmeted UN Troops. In fact, WORSE than that … he’s turned our troops into complete sitting ducks … to be plucked-off for sport by the TolleyBon. Even more dysfunctional than UN Troops who help themselves to little poor refugee boys and girls
It’s obvious that SHE planned this Benghazi-styled pull out. This has HER signature all over it.
And BTW … what the F-*@*§<…$%!!!!! is … … and safely retrograding our personnel. … ?
Retrograding?
Personnel?
Huh?
I wondered the same. As if they were shipping 90 day old MRE’s.
Retreat.
Sick isn’t it? Ordered from the top. Retreat.
Never would have believed it.
I guess the word “retreat” didn’t focus group test very well
So garbage words are spewed instead.
It means retreating. However, the US military does not retreat, so they call it retrograding.
I was searching for a specific military lingo and came across that.
Yes, I wrote yesterday about what I called “PentagonSwampSpeak” for retreat.
“Kenji” above says they are “garbage words,” and that is on target!
We didn’t “lose” 13 service members; you murdered them with your incompetence.
Yes.
This just isn’t mere incompetence… sadly… shamefully.
I see useless Dan Crenshaw is foaming at the mouth on Twitter.
What a fraud that guy is!
People need to ridicule him. Remind him he chose team DC Club not team USA.
have you noticed all the pictures of the wh occupant’s back.
I heard ben shaprio say, this is what he meant by “build back better”….
The real meaning of “America’s back.”
“They assured me that they did, and that they could take these measures while completing the mission and safely retrograding our personnel.” Military personnel? DoS personnel? American citizens? Afghan’s that allied with Americans?
Can ANYONE explain to me what that even means? Can ANYONE explain to me what the “mission” is? What does “retrograding” mean? Do words even have meaning anymore? If they do, this is very ominous!

Nothing but Newspeak for “retreat.”
Lara is 100x the journalist any of the Democommunist activists/propagandists are.
What do they call it when you give away valuable US intelligence assets to a foreign power?
They used to call it treason.
Still is.
What people need to realize the present government governing the United States is a; Communist/Fascist?Totalitarian government. It is not a “What if”. It is no longer a “preventing” it to happen, but an “eliminating” what it is now.
How convenient the focus on the southern border, covid vaccine, Afghanistan and not the real issue; fraudulent elections.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/08/28/rep-ronny-jackson-state-department-will-not-help-american-citizens-leave-kabul/
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) tweeted Sunday night that the State Department was not helping American citizens trying to evacuate. “I am furious!! My team has been on the phone all day trying to get AMERICAN CITIZENS out. They have been just outside the airport numerous times, but the State Department WILL NOT help them,” he tweeted. He added, “They have been beaten by the Taliban at check points and told to leave and come back with large sums of money. Biden is going to get them killed! Enough!! We have [to] put someone who gives a damn in charge RIGHT NOW!”
Sarah,
I completely understand and sympathize with your and Rep. Jackson’s white-hot righteous anger, but don’t hold your breath waiting for the Resident to be removed. At best we have maybe 45-50% of the Republican Party opposed to the ‘Rats. Half of the Republicans and all of the Democrats are on the side of the traitors.
I see it differently. This rep and others like him who are finding cameras or just going to Twitter are cowards and saber rattlers.
MTG wrote up and presented Articles of Impeachment. You notice none of these big talkers and arm flailing assholes line up to support the articles. Just enough anger to get soundbites and clips.
Nothing but a Hollywood production for the plebes.
“Whenever anyone seeks to harm the United States or attack our troops, we will respond. That will never be in doubt.”…The Resident.
With that in mind I’m waiting for Biden and those above and below to be arrested.
“Now being told that State Dept. is telling nations surrounding Afghanistan
not to allow private jets handling the private extractions to land and/or refuel. “
“This is inexplicable and evil.”

STRANDED: Congressmen and Others Accuse Biden of Blocking US Citizens from Kabul Airport, Leaving Them to be Beaten by Taliban Terrorists
… this is a story that won’t be contained, I reckon
I bet John Kirby’s got an army of creative-writing specialists treadmilling furiously in back rooms to come up with spin slants on this, because he’s good and damn well gonna get questions about it at the next press conference
You know, these people probably would tell you they have no idea why so many Americans loathe and hold in utter contempt the Federal Government. I guarantee you my Federal “elected representatives” would.
I thought they’d enact the 25 th when it all got too ridiculous, but unless the Admin State can get Kamala to go at the same time, I’m not sure what’s being achieved.
There is little time for a Pelosi Presidency up to the Congressionals in 2022 which must return the other faction of the UniParty to a majority.
It’s beyond any understanding if the Dems end up with a majority in 2022.
Though I guess it would demonstrate that immigration has worked massively for the Statist left.
The 25th? Just impeach him. He has plenty of things he can actually be impeached over. None of them being a fake phone call transcript written by Adam Schiff.
I was hoping there would be a much needed “Saturday Night Massacre” at every level and department of OUR government. But instead, this CHA statement. We all know what is going on.
Biden is a “suit”.
All about appearances, not principles. Check his 40+ years in politics and you will find he has been on both sides of most issues.
Meanwhile he and his family profit from their selling of access.
They are soooo compromised we do not know whose interests their actions benefit.
Remember the ex-fbi leader who now was a parter in DC law firm making a $100k deposit into a Biden “education trust”?
How many of these transactions are there?
“prioritize force protection”
.MIL aide of some kind drafted this. That is primarily a military term of art.
If indeed any ISIS personnel were killed, they would have been the only two who had knowledge of who was really behind that attack on our military.
No one had anything at all to gain from that, except the forces that wish to keep the endless war going.
Our troops were set up to be murdered.
Remember the original excuse for going in was to get bin laden. President Obama put the lie to that ruse when he revealed what most of the world already seemed aware of, that bin Laden was in Pakistan.
It didn’t seem to matter though, because by that time the mission had morphed into some kind of social program.
Women and children were harmed all the time during our occupation, so nobody try to give me that lame, “oh but the girls” excuse.
My mother taught me many invaluable lessons. This is one: Do not pay attention to what people say, pay attention to what they do. They did not go to Dover.
Likely because they sacrificed these young men, our finest, for political power and personal wealth. And because they are cowards and slime. And because they know we know it. Every person who voted for this has blood on their hands. Every single one of them. Every person who cheated to make this happen should be punished. And this cabal of evil bastards in the State Department and Pentagon, along with the White House should be dragged out from where they can be found into the light to be held accountable. This is not about Biden, he is merely a suit that they try to keep awake long enough each day to fool the gullible. This is about an entire cadre of appointees and bureaucrats who are ruling us without having been elected. This must stop.
Comedian Tracy Morgan should replace Peppermint Patty as Biden’s official spokesperson. Whenever Biden says he’s “pretty sure”something will happen, I’m “pretty sure” it will be an unmitigated disaster!

More gaslighting by the most dishonest and opaque administration in history!
This entire administration is a JOKE.
Nearly 48 hours and we still don’t know the names of those terrorists killed. Government by gaslight.
Wow. That was quick. Almost like they(CIA) knew before the incident. (Like the FBI fingerprints on almost every domestic terror or mass shooting incident).
Big government overreaches and fails almost all the time and its failure usually generates some counter reaction in the next election(s). But, this is not a typical big gov failure. It is almost impossible to exaggerate how massive Biteme’s Afghanistan failures are. They cut so broadly and deeply into American global prestige, American life and even our psyche that I find it impossible to believe the Democrats can recover unless they throw Joe overboard.
Another atrocity in Afghanistan is always just around the corner. Another one in the next week that kills more US kids and this administration is in shambles. Can the republicans seize the political day or will MAGA movement launch a new era?
The answer to your question about the GOP, (they are cowards,) is historically speaking, ‘No.’
So they asked their best buds the taliban if they could kill some terrorists. Sure there’s a cave not to far away where some of them are hiding. OK friends. And away they went while the taliban laughed from behind because they just sent us tp kill some innocents hiding.
I’ll guarantee you that Biden is not writing any of these statements. He barelyh has two brain cells to rub together to form a cogent thought. Someone else is directions what he does and what he is supposed to say or whom to pick from the audience of reporters. He is so controlled we wonder at who is actually running our government because it has become obviously apparent it is not Biden.
Total Lie…No strike occurred…
Allegedly the 82nd is turning away U.S. citizens at the airport. State Dept. has dis-allowed neighboring countries from being able to let private extraction flights land or refuel.
If true, those soldiers who turned them away must hang.
Its very likely they are also going to be left behind… Or shot down once they attempt to evacuate. I have a pretty good feeling about their own personal futures.
That would be both terrible, and just. Unfortunately, they are going to take a bunch of innocents with them.
“Sucks to be in Afghanistan”
I dont know what to do about it. The bell is tolling for all of them.
After noon tea, I will write my congresswoman and Senators. I’m sure my angry message to them will motivate them to do something. I am a really good angry letter writer…
Of Course, The pen is no longer mightier than the sword.
There is no “rule of law” with these people.
Take heed. That sets the conditions for engagement.
Look at COVID not at the AZ Audit Results, look at the Afghanistan not at the AZ Audit Results, look at all the illegals being let in, not at the AZ Audit Results. The Coup could not make it clearer!
Obama Administration Officials Are Torching Biden Over Failed Afghanistan Withdrawal (VIDEO)
By Mike LaChance

What I see, and what I expect. The coup members have killed thousands, and they will kill thousands more to hide their activities.
Words fail to express disgust, dismay.
Bingo. This can’t be legal. Gomert, Greene, Cruz, Paul, someone needs to request communications btwn these individuals and anyone on the outside associated with Obama, including Obama himself.
If our duly elected president Donald Trump was where he is supposed to be, one and done.
The WH just came out and stated they killed the suicide bomber.
Of course they did, they armed him with explosives.
Maybe more appropriate to call him the “squatter in the White House”.
I speculate that they cannot do anything to antagonize the Taliban who are in control of our efforts at risk of humiliating our incompetent, cough-cough, “leadership.” Thye have no doubt bribed the Taliban to let them fire some aimless rockets somehwere and doubtless the Taliban are in charge of the targeting. Probably the installations of our former allies considering the treacherous nature of our swinish corporate military.
I’m thinking the U.S. got their targets from the Taliban, so we would kill those the Taliban want killed. Wished i wouldn’t think this way.
Reading through the comments again this morning.
“ If “If’s” were horses we’d all be riding” you’ve heard it said.
But if we had another hundred million like ourselves on this forum plus the 80 million who voted for Trump.
We could bring this entire evil empire down in a weekend.
Every day we realize again how dangerous, self-absorbed and pure evil the people who stole this election actually are.
Like any competent military, our forces prepared a comprehensive withdrawal plan that would have safeguarded civilians, materiél, and troops – leaving the enemy Witt nothing of value. President Trump referred to it many times.
Instead, they ordered our military to surrender unconditionally, abandoning everything and everyone. And it was treason in the Constitutional sense: giving billions of dollars in aid to the enemy.
This whole thing was brought to you by the State Department. They are deep, deep state.
The Chinese now have their Silk Road and their mineral rights which we conveniently located for them.
America has new waves of Muslim- ISIS? Al Qaeda? Democrats? Citizens?
