My bad, you are right on both counts:

Ward said, “I’m sitting here, for 12 hours in the airport, eight hours on the airfield, and I haven’t seen a single U.S. plane take off. How on earth are you going to evacuate 50,000 people in the next two weeks. It just, it can’t happen.”

This is correct, I am a pilot. Military aircraft do not have GA transponders in them. (General Aviation)
I didn’t see people falling, just some blackened pixels on a video.
Back to the taxiing C-17. At taxi speed, an engine will suck in people and/or blast people away.
But even before that were to happen, we hear that the US controls the airport while the talibidan controls the perimeter. The US Air Force would NEVER allow that many to get near an operational C-17. Never. If they were, our military would be fighting them back away, from the C-17 parked.
And, from another angle, this just doesn’t pass the smell test - it has every aspect of a false flag. The purpose is to take down Joe TaliBidAn. Even Joe himself is helping this cause.
My bad, you are right on both counts:
Please, show some respect for reality. the MSM.
Thanks. Common sense not to show military traffic.
You mean the Clintons responsible for child trafficking thru their foundation in Haiti? Hillary, who with crime partner Huma, murdered a 10 yo girl? Those Clintons?
They went bye-bye. That’s why we don’t hear or see them.
When the situation on the ground gets so bad, communications with higher ups degrades.
This is starting to look like Ben Ghazi, writ large, but much more out in the open.
Dien Ben Phu, without air support, bunkers, any resupply of ammo...
There is a hook line and sinker involved here.
And, I do not think I’m the one biting on it.
“This was a fool’s deal. We are in a trap, and the Taliban can close the trap at any moment they choose, simply by dropping mortar shells on the runway.”
I’ve been saying for a week that we better not piss off the Taliban, and I’ve been told by FReepers I “think like a liberal” and someone hopes I “make a fine serf”.
I believe if we do go outside the wire we may very well have a Black Hawk Down situation. They say the French and British are going out and picking up their people, but I don’t think the Taliban hate them like they do us. Despite what’s going on now, I think they might take that opportunity to embarrass us even further. Our troops are in a very precarious situation. Like you said, they could shut down that runway, and if they did we would be in big trouble.
Benghazi was the trial run and warm up. American slaughter is counting down and our “leaders” are 100% complicit in murdering their own citizens. They herded them into a coral and gave the enemy all the weaponry they needed.
“Benghazi was the trial run and warm up.”
Absolutely.
“They herded them into a coral and gave the enemy all the weaponry they needed.”
Fish in a barrel. We need to understand that we’re next.
Cut the BS, I saw the actual video of it taxing. Go back to your cellar you cia spook.
Yes we are. Open season on patriots, in the actual open. Hunting people will be new emoji you can earn.
Yeah, that was her. And it was a really weird thing to say. But in her defense, I guess the Taliban were acting friendly to her personally on that day.
And I will give credit will credit is due. Ward could have fled Kabul by now. Or she could have stayed at the airport. But instead she’s out walking amongst the Taliban. That’s a combination of professionalism, courage, and perhaps naivety.
I added naivety because the Taliban didn’t kill her only because they see some value in leaving her alone. I wonder if Ward realizes that.
The access to the airport is apparently just one rabbit trail of a road. Unbelievable!
Are you saying there is some kind of inflatable C-17 on the Kabal airport? Who did it and for what purpose?
“Contrast that with a PBS guy I heard the other day. He said that things in Kabul are going well, considering the situation.”
PBS report from the Titanic: “things are going well, considering the situation.”
Yeah, that was her. And it was a really weird thing to say. But in her defense, I guess the Taliban were acting friendly to her personally on that day.
And I will give credit will credit is due. Ward could have fled Kabul by now. ...

Agree with your entire post. She is American and dressed like that for her personal safety, I would think, because the images of her online reveal she is very Western and very pretty. I got the impression she may be of Afghan heritage and speaks the language. She’s been evacuated. Whatever her political inclinations, she’s shown a helluva lot more courage than Biden and his general officers. And most of her reporting is really objective, by CNN standards. I appreciate your insights as opposed to those who see one or more indicators of a stereotype and go off without evaluating the actual issue at hand. The fact is the woman gave us who paid attention more info about Kabul and the airport—Birkenstocks on the ground, so to speak—than any flack or general or the president. Among other things, she told us that getting into Kabul airport was hell and that no planes took off for 8-12 hours on a day that Biden said 6,000 were evacuated. This site could use a few more observers like you.
It picks up flights out of Offutt (around Omaha) but I believe if the flight isn’t registered - private or military, it won’t show up. I know I tried using it with Rush’s private jet and it was blocked.
