Lawmaker/Afghan vet: Terrorists were 'waiting for a president like Joe Biden''We're going to see a lot more of that to come in the days ahead'
Randy DeSoto, The Western Journal ^ | August 26, 2021

Afghan War veteran and GOP Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana says terrorists in Afghanistan were waiting for a president like Joe Biden to come along in order to strike.

Banks, who serves on the House Armed Services Committee, told Fox News host Harris Faulkner on Thursday that the day's deadly bomb attacks on U.S. military personnel and Afghan civilians outside of Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport could have been avoided.

Pretty much a no-brainer. The terrorists kept their heads down when Trump was in charge because they KNEW he’d hammer them like rats. Gropy Joe doesn’t scare anyone.

After the droning of that poor goat-herder yesterday we’ve pretty much established Joe’s reputation for ferocity. Corn Pop would be proud.

Totalitarian countries, terrorists and thugs alike are retooling.

There wasn’t much time between Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima (or the Battle of Berlin).

If you fight wars properly, you fight them hard. You kill a lot of people. You blow up a lot of stuff. You win decisively and make people surrender. And you can do it all with one, single, focused president.

Or, you can make the war drag out as long as necessary until, eventually, some loser gets into office and agrees to let the other side beat us.

Hey, Jimmy Carter 2.

1. High gas prices.
2. Out of control inflation.
3. Beholding to our enemies in the ME — please Oil Cartel, please oh please, increase production. Response: go pound sand.
4.Hostage crisis in the making.

What is different is that the US government is turning its resources on the American people. We are now considered a threat.

And do you want to know what else they were waiting for Congressman Banks?

Wasn’t the estimate early on that there were something like 22,000 folks under the SIV designation? We’re going to have 5 times that or more by the time this is all done. And that is just the beginning.

If any of these ‘evacuees’ harms or kills an American citizen, that blood will be on the hands of everyone and anyone that helped get any of them out of the country.

I read that the SOF guys running missions were getting out their former interpreters and veterans of Afghani Special Forces units. Just wondering. Shouldn’t those former Afghan soldiers be linking up with Massoud or Saleh, getting ready to run the Taliban out of Afghanistan? Guess not. Guess life in the US, having the wife pop out a few citizens in the next year or two is more inviting.

I’m sorry, but I didn’t make any deals with these people. Let them stay where they are and fight for theirs.

This war isn’t over for the Taliban. I hope everyone realizes that. Soon, they’ll realize, if they haven’t already, that if they just all 5-10,000 people a year to request asylum to the US, which will be granted even if nothing has ever happened to any of them, and half of them are women. Pop out about 2-3 citizens, all being paid for by the US taxpayer. Do that year after year after year. Toss in some family reunification and pretty soon they’ll have some serious numbers over here.

There are some that want 1.2 million here. That’s more folks than the population of Montana. The Democrats are calling for there to be no limit to their immigration and that they should be paid reparations.

In their mind they will have conquered the country without having the US without firing a shot.

And just think, if they’re really smart, and they aren’t dumb, they’ll get some type of money transfer service in the country. Pretty soon the Afghani’s here will be sending remittance back home. So, after opium, heroin, hash, meth and all the money they’ll make from the lithium deposits and other minerals, they’ll be making bank from US taxpayer money.

And, lets not forget about all the terrorists in the mix. Completely different conversation.

Folks, there’s no place else to go. The United States is it. Just think about some of the towns we all live in. Taxes going through the roof and continuing to go up. Non stop invasion of illegal aliens. Now a deluge of refugees. This is the Alamo.

And even if the Republican’s, real Conservative Republicans, took over the House and Senate next year, kept it and the White House in 2024, what difference would it make? Are any of the people that are going to get in by then going to deported, forced out, removed? Nope.

Imagine defeating Japan and occupying the nation in 1945 and leaving in 1965 or same scenario in Germany allowing Imperialism or Nazism to rein free. Obviously rather ludicrous and the Soviets would fill the void one way or another but we invaded Afghanistan and twenty years later they are both worse off and America has nothing to show for it but KIA,maimed and an astronomical price tag simply replacing Taliban with Taliban making Taliban great again.

Iran pushing Israel

China pushing Taiwan

China pushing the Philippines

China pushing Japan.

North Korea reasserting themselves

The Taliban selling weapons to other terrorists.

The southern border opened to terrorists who have money and arms

ISIS back in the picture

Right back to the Obama days.

Terrorists know as Carly Simon sang in Anticipation...

And tomorrow we might not be together
I’m no prophet and I don’t know nature’s ways
So I’ll try and see into your eyes right now
And stay right here ‘cause these are the good old days

Note: Maybe they can alter it to “I’m not the Prophet but I know Islam’s ways.”

But they love that boy Biden.

Yes, yes, yes.

I’ve been saying the ill informed suburban anti-Trump women, the socialist leaning young people, the BLM anti-Americans....

They are all around you. And they are the ones to blame.

I just learned this morning that 9,500 of these animals are coming to NJ. They're going to be housed temporarily at McGuire AFB/Ft. Dix and then from there they'll be allowed ''to resettle anywhere in the state they wish''. Just f'ing great.
