The mood was sombre Monday in the corridors of the Pentagon, where US military personnel watched helplessly as chaos erupted at Kabul airport and privately criticized the slow pace of Joe Biden's administration in evacuating US-allied Afghans who fear Taliban retribution.
Some criticized the State Department, which has sole authority to grant visas to former interpreters and other US military support staff and their families, for waiting more than two months to begin the process for Afghans in fear of their lives. ..
...Another Pentagon official interviewed by AFP said that diplomats had tried to speed up the visa process -- but the process was too long and complicated under the circumstances....
...It was only at the end of June that the White House raised the possibility of evacuating the Afghan interpreters before the end of the military withdrawal, and asked for the Pentagon's help....

Afghan Interpreter on phone: “Help! There are Taliban at the end of my block!”
State Dept. recording: “Please go online and fill out 5 page form with all documentation attached.”
After Øbowel purged as many non-PC officers as he could, surprising any left would have the guts to not cheer the demented old fool.
The perfumed princes are taking notes about who is not enthused with the Bidet* decision.
The war was over when our own military confiscated a Bibles from some troops and promptly burned then so as not to offend the people we were there to protect.
Then just 2 months ago our State department unfurled the gay pride flag over the embassy.
Pride comes before a fall.
The pride flag no longer flies above the US Embassy. Neither does the American flag.
Those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind.
Bunch of woke, limp-wristed, career hacks.
I remember when Betray-Us begged the Florida Pastor not to burn the Korans, because “it would make it tougher for the troops.”
BS, if anything it would bring them out so it would be easier to kill them.
If you were blackmailed by the Chinese, what would you have done differently?
Obama generals decided what Afghanistan needed was more transsexuals.
Horse manure. These pentagon flunkies voted for the demented clown.
“Did nothing” is what BrainDead Joe does BEST!!
We will never know what kind of “deal” or treason precipitated this. Keep a close eye on Hunter and the usual suspects! What happens in the next 20 days will give the answer!
Fire 1/2 of everyone in that building. Then get down to the serious cutting.
Bet there are plenty of pissed off mother fuckers..
Waiting to see what Hunter’s paintings go for next month. If they flop, it would be a sign that Joe Biden is toast.
“Bet there are plenty of pissed off mother fuckers..
And how many have risked or will risk their positions by speaking up?
I can’t believe anyone STILL believes a damn thing will happen to ANY of these bastards!! Joe will continue his presidency there should not be a doubt in ANYONE’S mind anyone thinking otherwise is a FOOL!!!
Get woke, become a joke
I think of Charles Bronson at the end of “The Dirty Dozen”....”Killin’ Generals could get to be a habit with me!”
And where are the resignations in disgust???
None. Just like there were no FBI whistleblowers when a coup d’etat took place right under their noses.
So . . . we are flying all those 640 Afghans back here to an air force base in the US. How are they going to be housed? How are they going to be fed? They didn’t even bring clothes with them. Have they had their shots and are they wearing masks? Do any of them speak English? How are they going to support themselves? Oh, I forgot. Uncle Joe Biden will give them everything they need for free! And this is just the beginning.
