EXCLUSIVE: 'We're leaving in 72 HOURS - it doesn't matter who's left on the ground.' Former CIA officer says he's been told the deadline to evacuate Americans from Kabul is far shorter than August 31 cutoff

American civilians and Afghan allies have just 72 hours before evacuations from Kabul end, a former CIA officer and terrorism expert has claimed.

Sam Faddis, who served as the head of the Counter Terrorism Center's Weapons of Mass Destruction unit, said sources in the Pentagon, military officers in Kabul and other former intelligence agency officers have told him that flights for civilians out of the Afghan capital will actually end in the next three days.

The alleged deadline has not been officially announced or verified, but raises fears that American citizens could be left behind in the Taliban-occupied city.

On Tuesday President Joe Biden confirmed that US forces will be leaving the country by August 31, a date agreed with the Taliban - but Faddis claims American civilians currently in the city have a far shorter deadline.

'Biden decided we're pulling out within 72 hours. We're gone, and it doesn't matter who's left on the ground,' the ex-CIA officer told DailyMail.com.

'Because just getting the troops and their equipment out takes a certain period of time. They have to collapse on themselves to maintain some sort of security perimeter.

“I don’t think these dumb bastards realize the multi decade political repercussions of such stupidity.”

If they do, and did it anyway, then they (the government operatives and “analysts” who are complicit in it) are traitors.

If the Republicans would just use this moment in their ads, the Democrats would be finished. But most of them won’t.

Somebody seems determined to have America viewed in the worst way possible, and by as many countries as is possible.
How is this permitted?

What is keeping ‘wiser heads’ from speaking up?
I do not believe that all these decision making generals are willinhg slaves to the progressives. This has to be a slow motion nightmare for those who are there and know none of this was necessary, that much could be changed even now, were the decision makers willing to change it.

Exactly. The time for ads is RIGHT NOW.

Don't let a crisis go to waste.

There will be no repercussions. If they can steal an election, they can steal anything without consequences. Americans have short memory loss.

I trust a “CIA Officer” about as much as I trust an “FBI Agent.” Which is, not at all. But if forced to make a choice I’d go with the FIB agent over the CIA guy every time.

Starting on January 20th, 2021, if this entire Afghanistan withdrawal process had been put entirely in the hands of E-7s and below, with not one cake-cutter (officer) or GS-14+ in any decision-making position, it would have run as smooth as greased Teflon, with not one American, ally, or useable Humvee left behind.

Any Taliban who tested the resolve of this E-7-led evacuation would have been turned into a puddle, and the Taliban would have stopped testing their resolve around February.

Biden and his cronies can give a rats behind about Americans left behind..this is all about importing as many Afghans into this country as possible, sending them to swing states to turn them blue

Biden doesn't know what year it is, or what state he's in.
