SCOOP: U.S. officials gave the Taliban a list of names of U.S. citizens, green card holders & Afghan allies to grant entry into the outer perimeter of the city’s airport, prompting 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.”

 

Biden officials defended the move during a classified briefing on Capitol Hill earlier this week, which turned contentious. Biden team contended this was the best way to keep Americans & Afghans safe & prevent a shooting war between Taliban fighters and US troops

"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."

“The Afghan government and leadership has to come together. They clearly have the capacity to sustain the government in place,” - Joe Biden

It’s not insane or stupid.

It was a hit list.

And it’s evil.

What moron would think giving a list of names to the enemy is a good thing?

As if knowing someone’s name means that the named person will be escorted politely on to a departing aircraft.

A hit list is exactly what it is.

Biden has signed their death warrants.

What else would you expect from a man who gave Putin a list of our most vulnerable targets with a message, “Please don’t attack us here as you will do great damage to us with very little effort.”

They probably do have names, but apparently no brains.

Well, Putin has the list of industries to hack.
So Taliban should have the list of peoples to kill.
Probably authored by the same idiot.
