Afghanistan Evacuations – But Who Exactly is Being Evacuated?
American Thinker.com ^ | August 23, 2021 | Brian C. Joondeph

Afghanistan is a mess, despite vain attempts by Democrats and the media to spin it otherwise. We left behind a trove of weapons and intelligence secrets in our abandoned air bases and embassy. This was a gift to the Taliban, overnight making them one of the best equipped military forces in the world. They reminded America and the world of this fact by recreating the famous photo of US soldiers raising the American flag during the Battle of Iwo Jima.

People were left behind as well, American civilians, contractors, and other support staff necessary for the 20-year war which President Joe Biden surrendered, waving the white flag in a manner that not even France would do.

Our military, formerly the best in the world, has not received orders to, or is incapable or unwilling to rescue American citizens stranded in Kabul, one day telling them to head to the airport, the next day telling them not to, in the flip flopping manner of Dr Fauci and his latest masking recommendations. Yet the French, caricatured as the surrender brigade, is bravely rescuing its citizens from Kabul, along with the British.

We see articles and headline, like this one from CNBC, “More than 18,000 people have been flown out of Kabul since the Taliban took over Afghanistan’s capital, a NATO official said on Friday.” Notice how they say “people” without specifying in the article who these people are.

The AP is also vague regarding these “people.” “Pentagon says that about 3,800 civilians have been evacuated from Afghanistan over the past day.” Who are these “civilians”? Further in the article they get more specific, “Of the 17,000 people evacuated since Aug. 15, just 2,500 have been Americans.

We have no idea who we are importing, but it is also a mess we created. If you voted for GWB, Obama, or any of the others who created this mess you deserve to have a group of Afghan tribesmen move in next door.

We’re probably going to have a billion people from all over the world being let in to this country before the next election. Notice how I said this country. Not ours.

Yep. Just in time for the 9/11 20th anniversary. They and the sleeper cells all over the country will wait for the signal. Maybe O’Beelzebub will go on television wearing a brown suit.

White House refuses to release the % of people being evacuated. American citizens, Afgany nats. Afgany helpers. My guess is of the many 1000’s of people evacuated are heavily on the Afganny nats.

It doesn’t matter who people voted for 20 years ago…what matters is what we’re going to do about the situation now.

Biden (or whatever runs him) is intentionally putting these hordes of Muslims, many of them no doubt radicals and terrorists, in the red states and has declared that the governors cannot refuse them. The government is placing these “refugees,” mostly young men, in cities that will be completely unprepared to deal with such people. And this is without even contemplating the sudden financial burden of the welfare these cities will have to provide.

But don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll all be voting Dem by the next election. Consider this to be restocking the Dem voter pool. I’m not sure how we’re going to vote our way out of this mess even if we do have good candidates, between the fraud and this new skewing of the population.

Now wait a minute. I’m sure every one of those guys that crammed aboard the C-130 on the first day were thoroughly checked out. we’ve got nothing but our top people working on this.

I wonder where all the media interview stories are of family members of those stuck in Afghanistan that Ol' Joe refuses to help..

I guess the "news" media don't want to damage Joey any more than he already is...

The pearl clutching and drama on tv is merely to create more sympathy to bring in more refugees from around the world. The drum beat of more people from south and Central America escaping terror, the starving african, etc etc. Open border lovers love this stuff.

I would argue the pearl clutching is to have more ads selling auto insurance
