U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport, a choice that’s prompted outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.
“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” said one defense official, who like others spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic. “It’s just appalling and shocking and makes you feel unclean.”
A spokesperson for U.S. Central Command declined to comment.
The issue came up during a classified briefing on Capitol Hill earlier this week, which turned contentious after top Biden administration officials defended their close coordination with the Taliban. Biden officials contended that it was the best way to keep Americans and Afghans safe and prevent a shooting war between Taliban fighters and the thousands of U.S. troops stationed at the airport.
OMG…the stupidity.
Americans abandoned in Afghanistan will be beheaded to celebrate the anniversary of 9/11
WOW. No one can be that stupid. They will kill or torure them. The women would be better off committing hart kari.
Leave it to Biden o F things up.
Seriously?
This cannot be true?
This is what happens when the Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate is in charge.
I’m reading it and I can barely believe what I’m reading is the real thing. Unfortunately, it probably is.
Biden is not the only one in this Administration suffering from ‘Sudden Brain Absence”.
Idiots! Total idiots!
I can’t understand why our military is not in full revolt.
One of his few real skills.
To all of those who commented on the article, where is the link to the article?
Yep and blame it on isis k.. When biden talks he is going to lie.
The best way to keep Americans safe is to get Americans out before the Taliban takeover. The cluster f going on right now at the Kabul Airport is the sort of thing only the most incompetent, deranged, irresponsible ballot stealer like Joe Biden would engage in.
The NOC list?
I don't think the old saying applies anymore.
This can definitely be attributed to malice, not stupidity.
When one wants dead people that is one way to ensure
Democrats cannot be trusted with national security ... period.
From politico:
US citizens would be able to present their US passports, which the Taliban would be wise to respect.
