Fmr. CIA Analyst Zeller: Trump Admin. ‘Complicit as the Taliban Are in These People’s Deaths’
Breitbart ^ | 08/18/2021 | Pam Key

Posted on 08/18/2021 12:39:47 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former CIA analyst Matt Zeller said Wednesday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that the Trump Administration shut down the visa program for Afghans so “they’re as complicit” just as the Taliban were in the deaths of those trying to flee.

Anchor Alisyn Camerota said, “It was so interesting to hear former senior advisor to President Trump, Stephen Miller, last night say the U.S. doesn’t owe these people anything. Listen to him.”

All the Freepers who were praising this guy to no end yesterday should take about a week to get all the egg off their faces.

Just read the guy's bio and it’s obvious he’s a Beltway hack who has never worked outside government in his life.

In the past year, there’s been a sudden drop in arrivals under the special-immigrant-visa program for Afghan and Iraqi citizens, many of whom served alongside U.S. soldiers as battlefield translators.

By Priscilla Alvarez JULY 25, 2018

Two months into the Trump administration, then–Secretary of State Rex Tillerson directed American embassies around the world to double down on visas and “increase scrutiny of visa applicants for potential security and non-security ineligibilities.” Since then, there’s been a stark decline in SIV arrivals. From January to June of 2017, 10,267 immigrants came to the U.S. on special immigrant visas. Over the same period in 2018, the number had fallen by more than half, to 4,166.

The last thought folks have as they are being slaughtered by the Taliban is “Trump’s fault”....

Not!

People like this are pushing the US to civil war, and they don't care. They are driven by their own misguided and entirely inaccurate view of themselves as ‘smarter’, more informed, more ‘modern’, etc. In reality they are the epitome of stupid. Worse, they are so self-convinced that they don't even know they are stupid. Worse, they are very, very hateful.

A thousand years from now they will be talked about, not individually (no one will know their names) but as a group, and they will be universally characterized as failures and buffoons who led the world into some very hurtful dark days.

According to this imbecile, the only way to accept any “refugees” is to accept them all, terrorists included. Did I get that right?

Right now, yes.

I would have no problem accepting them all into those FEMA internment camps until we can sort it all out.

No civilian life until they are processed or shot as enemies of the nation.

Who do you think would actually be doing the "sorting out"?

Correction May 3, 2019

In the audio of this story, as in a previous Web version, we conflate the number of Iraqis waiting in a backlog of the Special Immigrant Visa Program with those in the backlog for the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program P-2 Direct Access Program. According to the State Department, there are only 200 Iraqis still waiting for visas from the SIV program. The backlog of Iraqis in the DAP program is over 100,000.

This is why the “plenty of blame to go around” line is a loser. This whole thing is Biden’s fault. Every last bit of it. Period.

Butt status: wiped.

Even I as slow as I am would NEVER EVER close Bagram Air Base down like Biden did. It was stupid thing to do and has led to all the problems we are having now.

Biden must have done it on purpose ie for chaos
Surely not! But why?

No ones buying this crap. It gets to a point where blaming Trump for anything only makes you look foolish. This is all Joe. He can’t hide from it.

Joes less popular than he’s ever been. Democrats are looking for a scapegoat any shockingly, very few are explicitly blaming Trump.

Any Trump executive decision Biden thought was wrong could have been changed by Biden anytime in the last six months. You don’t have to agree or disagree with the Trump admin decisions regarding Visas to acknowledge Biden had no obligation or legal requirement to continue that decision, if he did not want to.

And we heard from the card board cut out’s mouth - he is taking responsibility for present conditions vis-a-vis the U.S. and Afghanistan (even though he’ll go on blaming Trump).

He was taken to the woodshed after he straightened Brain “I’m was shot at” Williams.

The only ones who are complicit are the rodents this guy is sucking up to.

Well huh...”Trump’s efforts to tighten entrance to the U.S., including from many majority-Muslim countries. Afghanistan isn’t included in Trump’s temporary travel ban, but critics have said the ban is emblematic of a broader effort to put a chill on Muslims entering the U.S.”
