Translator Who Helped Rescue Biden in Afghanistan in 2008 Stranded
MSN ^

Posted on 08/31/2021 11:21:11 AM PDT by navysealdad

An Afghan translator who helped rescue now-President Joe Biden in 2008 is stranded inside the country, reported The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, the day after the United States completed its withdrawal from the country after an almost-20-year war.

“Hello Mr. President: Save me and my family,” Mohammed, who requested that his full name not be publicized, told the publication. “Don’t forget me here.”

Mohammed, who, along with his family, has been in hiding from the Taliban, was “a 36-year-old interpreter for the U.S. Army in 2008 when two U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopters made an emergency landing in Afghanistan during a blinding snowstorm,” according to WSJ. Biden was then a Democratic U.S. senator from Delaware. Along with Biden, then-Sens. John Kerry (D-MA) and Chuck Hagel (R-NE) were on board.

I am sure he will be thanking the US media for all the public attention now.

What a service to America, if he had only alerted the Taliban as to where these three were.

Reciprocity from Democrats?

That's not in their vocabulary. They only make promises to get others to do something first. When the time comes for them to make good on their marker, they are nowhere to be found.

Fox is reporting that Biden will make a short statement, and looks like no questions. Jen Psaki will have a briefing afterwards, so does this make Psaki POTUS.

Can’t wait for Joe Biden to turn tail and run on this one.

Decent people cannot fathom the amoral cruelty of the Biden regime.

Believe it or not there’s a show on now that covers Afghanis who helped the US and were stranded. This episode was on a few weeks ago. Not a great comedy but has it’s moments.
