Amid ongoing evacuation efforts in Afghanistan, Tim Kennedy – a Green Beret, Special Forces sniper, and Army Ranger – spoke with Fox News about his experience in Kabul after rescuing more than 8,900 individuals and discussed the "horrors of people getting to the airport."

"We had a very clear mission in who we were trying to identify and get out and American citizens were number one," said Kennedy, who spent three days in the country assisting with evacuation missions and working to "identify high value targets of the Taliban that needed to be rescued."

According to Kennedy, the identification and vetting process for those that were being rescued was "more complex of that than the Department of State or Department of Defense."

"Finding them is a big problem, getting them on is a big problem," Kennedy said, describing one instance where he had to shift plans to avoid armed Taliban observers.

"Right when I got on the ground, we were doing a reconnaissance of a new rat line, a spot that we were planning on that evening trying to smuggle some more people through and as I went around a corner I look up on top of a building and there is a Taliban listening post/observation post with trained observers that were looking into the airfield to try and identify where all of the American forces were."

The top priority of the regime is to import as many muslims as they can.

Americans are an afterthought.

Nothing to see here, just an extension of the human-trafficking operation Team Biden is running at the Mexican border. "Never let a crisis go to waste"

AMERICANS IGNORED.

This is what our Marines died for. There should be a CONGRESSIONAL COMMISSION and MILITARY TRIBUNAL formed for all involved in this treason.

Someone on Fox yesterday, I forget who it was, mentioned the case of an Afghan showing up at Dulles Airport with no identification at all. So there is no way to find out who he really is, with the Taliban in control of Kabul and our embassy handed over to them.

If the taliban are letting them into the airfield then there is a very high probability they are islamic terrorists ie: NOT SIV personnel, as in enemy insurgents.
