The U.S. State Department has confirmed that seven CH-46E Sea Knight helicopters, also colloquially known as "Phrogs," belonging to its Air Wing have been rendered inoperable and abandoned in Afghanistan as part of the ongoing evacuation effort.

In short, as Lara Logan said last night on FAUX, this was all planned. The Taliban is controlled from Pakistan. So, the CIA just got billions of dollars worth of military and other equipment it can now move around the world without Congressional oversight or accountability. They are bringing in more refugees to make up for all of the immigrants Trump refused to import. They don’t really care about the voters, since they can rig the elections and no one will do anything meaningful about it. Old Joe could be made the scapegoat and removed by impeachment or the 25th Amendment with the hope that the Ho can start with clean slate with the public. It’s all a rigged game.
shaped charges through the turbines and avionics? or did they just take the keys so they have to be hot wired.
So does that mean Greyhound buses over land to freedom? It’s a pleasure to take the bus-—and leave the driving to us. Unless you get strafed with machine gun fire and have an incendiary grenade shot into the windshield.
They are diplomats. They left yellow sticky notes saying “you are not allowed to fly this craft”
Jail isn’t good enough. I want them stopped in every way. I’m tired of survivors.
7 of them.
“Rendered inoperable”
I despise these people.

No good? Then what the hell were they doing in a war zone? If that’s true, they should have flown out by the fools who sent them there in the first place.
The biggest error in Afghanistan is the loss of 2 trillion in rare earth s that will no go to china which already has a near monopoly on them.
“No loss”
Excuse me while I say “F*** you!”

Phroggy Bottom needs to be neutron bombed from Space, just to be sure.
there’s a good chance one of those airframes actually flew out of Saigon
How?!? Glued in the ignition switch? Bent a rotor blade? Put sugar in the fuel tank?
The State Department's word is no longer trustworthy. Documented physical evidence is required.
Yeah, but did they remove all of the non-recyclable and potentially hazardous parts (I’ll bet there are LOTS). What will the Taliban EPA say about this? Who bill pay their fine for leaving dangerous junk like that in their country?
“...we are in the ditch...”?
It’s an UGLY Ditch....
These medeval assclowns in Kabul now have hundreds if not thousands of operational helicopters, airplanes, main battle tanks, light armored vehicles, and God only knows how many operable small arms. The Taliban are now one of the best equipped terror organizations in the world.
Thanks to the Democrats.
Attitude isn’t it? Not understanding the principal of the matter.
I agree with you.
The ran just fine right up until the minute they were parked after evacuating embassy staff.
I can see that
Grammar Nazi Alert.
It’s “principle”
And thanks for getting it.

1. By what authority does the administration import thousands and thousands of Afghans to become dependents on the taxpayer dime? How does the administration have the authority to do this kind of thing unilaterally?
Other than getting actual Americans out of the country, these questions are the only ones that need to be asked.
Refugee - Citizenship....
If I’m not mistaken, coming here as a refugee isn’t a lifetime pass. I believe there are some limitations to it. But, giving birth to a US Citizen within 9-10 months of coming here, is a lifetime pass. And that’s when the big bucks start flowing. Then its Section 8, all the other benefits that go with it and, family reunification.
Drug Trade.......
The Taliban makes its money with opium and hashish. Ask any Infantryman you can about the poppy fields and the hash fields
What Taliban Rule Means for Afghanistan’s Drug Trade...... https://cannabisnow.com/what-taliban-rule-means-for-afghanistans-drug-trade/
Hashish and opium have fueled war in Afghanistan since the ‘80s, when the CIA-backed Mujahideen rebels turned to the drug trade to fund their insurgency against the Soviet forces then occupying the country.
Afghanistan, home to the heroin trade, moves into meth ..... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-55048147
A new report released on Tuesday warns that Afghanistan is becoming a significant global producer of methamphetamine. The country’s opium poppy fields are already the source of the majority of the world’s heroin, and now this report, by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), warns that crystal meth could eventually become just as big an industry.
The boom is the result of a discovery by drug traffickers that a plant commonly found growing wild in parts of Afghanistan, ephedra, can be used to create the key component of meth: ephedrine.
So, now the Mexicans will have some competition in the meth trade. There is also a huge meth problem in Iraq, BTW. In Iran it’s just old school heroin.
Remittances....
And what else will the Taliban soon realize is a money maker? And there’s not one scintilla of danger or sweating in a field or processing lab needed. Lets get as many Afghani’s to the USA as we can and take a sizable percentage of the remittance these ‘refugees’ send back home. And they don’t have to farm a thing, tend to crops, process the drugs or ship them anywhere. They just have their tax collectors at the Western Union branches set up around the country.
