Afghan Interpreter Who Helped Rescue Biden in 2008 Left Behind After U.S. Exit
WSJ ^ | 31 Aug 2021 | Dion Nissenbaum

Thirteen years ago, Afghan interpreter Mohammed helped rescue then- Sen. Joe Biden and two other senators stranded in a remote Afghanistan valley after their helicopter was forced to land in a snowstorm. Now, Mohammed is asking President Biden to save him.

Mohammed and his four children are hiding from the Taliban after his yearslong attempt to get out of Afghanistan got tangled in the bureaucracy. They are among countless Afghan allies who were left behind when the U.S. ended its 20-year military campaign in Afghanistan on Monday.

As a private security team with the former firm Blackwater and U.S. Army soldiers monitored for any nearby Taliban fighters, the crew sent out an urgent call for help. At Bagram Air Field, Mohammed jumped in a Humvee with a Quick Reaction Force from the 82nd Airborne Division and drove hours into the nearby mountains to rescue them.

Mohammed tried his luck by going to the Kabul airport gates, where he was rebuffed by U.S. forces. Mohammed could get in, they told him, but not his wife or their children.

“If you want to know where al Qaeda lives, you want to know where [Osama] bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me,” he said on the campaign trail in October, just months after the February rescue. “Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down…in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are.”

Now, Mohammed is in hiding. “I can’t leave my house,” he said on Tuesday. “I’m very scared.”

Now he can claim, he wants them out too because someone rescued him. He will turn this bit of information to his advantage. Just watch him.

They need to make room to bring unattached single men over to rape the women Americans are too lazy to do. < / sarcasm >

Perfect. Nothing reveals the truth about liberals better than this. They are treacherous scum. Without exception. You socialize with RATs at your peril.

I thought about it as punishment, for saving such a vile POS. But, it’s not really a laughing matter. I hope this guy gets rescued. He’s clearly worth much more than Biden.

“What difference at this point does it make?”

The established Dem line ever since Benghazi.

Joe Biden is a thorough Quisling. America is ashamed of Joe Biden’s purposeful betrayal of America, He left Afhganistan using a plan to leave a fully armed fundamental Muslin force in control of the country. Biden will be a synonym for bastard throughout fuuture US history. Joe, the sacrificial lamb for the left, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett, and Barrack Obama, all who dictate Joe’s actions acting with a twist to make sure that White Supremacist America and AMERICA’S WHITE SUPREMACIST COLONIAL ALLIES ARE punished for THEIR colonialism in Afghanistan. Typical Obama grift, remeber when Obama published the Isis bombing targets in advance ostensbly to minimize civilian deaths? Isis chained hostages who were America supporters to the bobming targets and they died by the hundreds, Not a peep of apology from Obama...he meant to do it with exactly that result. And so it is here that Americas helpers inAfghanistan are to be slaughtered of Obama and Biden and The radical Isalmofascists in Afghanistan.

Put the Trump family in charge. They would have him out in 3 days.
