Rep. Mike Garcia: Thousands of Americans in Afghanistan Is ‘a Hostage Crisis’
Breitbart ^ | 24 Aug 2021 | ROBERT KRAYCHIK

Posted on 08/25/2021 5:01:05 AM PDT by Mount Athos

Garcia said Biden is “hell-bent” on withdrawing the U.S. from Afghanistan, and that thousands of Americans may perish in the failed state.

He remarked, “[The Biden administration] didn’t plan. They didn’t think through this. I’m disappointed in guys like [Mark] Milley and [Antony] Blinken and Secretary [Lloyd] Austin. These guys have lost their way, and they’ve lost their warfighter spirit. That’s why they are where they are, and they have sold out to this administration, which has basically given them marching orders, and those orders entail potentially leaving behind and ultimately killing thousands of Americans in Afghanistan.”

He concluded, “The reality is we now have about five times as many troops than we did just two weeks ago in Afghanistan. This isn’t going to get better. This is going to be a stain, obviously, on [Biden’s] administration and his legacy. But literally the worst thing that he could have done, and literally the most risky posture he could have put the United States in [is] making a deal with the Taliban.”

“These guys have lost their way, and they’ve lost their warfighter spirit.”

You have to have it in the 1st place in order to lose it.

You really can’t blame Biden. He’s just an empty shell taking orders from a puppet master. Who I don’t really know. This is all coordinated to usher in socialist policies (more government control). We will get a picture of how fraudulent the elections are come 2022. If the Democrats maintain power, we know the end is near.

We are reliving the Jimmy Carter days by design:
1 High Energy prices
2 Stagflation
3 And now hostages taken by fanatical Muslims.

“thousands of Americans may perish in the failed state”

So media, find one. Yesterday, they were hyping the audio-only tape of “Fatima”, an accented woman claiming to be an American. If there are thousands more out there, you’d think there would be solid evidence that they exist. So far, crickets. Think about it.

The whitehouse didn’t plan but there were no resignations anywhere. Odd.

I was going to say the same. These idiots never had a war fighting spirit ever.

The US Military has transported 76,000 Afghans (probably terrorists), and 4,000 Americans. According to the White House, as of last week, 11,000 Americans remain there.

You would think a rep would be more informed than you or I but they still say stupid stuff like this.

Since we cut and run, normal Americans will hear little about the ongoing “retribution” slaughter in that country.

Back in 1975, at the end of the Vietnam debacle, one of my co-workers wondered whom the next war would be with.

I thought on it and said “moslems.

Since then I have found others that said the same thing.

Good luck getting anyone to work in an NGO the next time we embark on nation building.
