The War in Afghanistan has always been a black box, but the Biden administration just made matters worse.
According to an admission obtained from the State Department, Biden officials recently directed federal agencies to scrub their websites of official reports detailing the $82.9 billion in military equipment and training provided to the Afghan security forces since 2001.
The scrubbed audits and reports included detailed accounting of what the U.S. had provided to Afghan forces, down to the number of night vision devices, hand grenades, Black Hawk helicopters, and armored vehicles.
Reports further quantified 208 aircraft and helicopters; 75,000 war vehicles – including 22 Humvees, 50,000 tactical vehicles and nearly 1,000 mine resistant vehicles; and 600,000 weapons – including 350,000 M4 and M16 rifles, 60,000 machine guns, and 25,000 grenade launchers.
The State Department admitted to removing the reports but justified the move as a way to protect Afghan allies. According to a spokesperson:
“The safety of our Afghan contacts is of utmost importance to us. The State Department advised other federal agencies of to [sic] review their web properties for content that highlights cooperation/participation between an Afghan citizen and the USG or a USG partner and remove from public view if it poses a security risk.”
It’s worth noting that the Biden administration already put these partners at risk when officials provided lists of Afghan nationals to the Taliban in a misguided attempt to clear them for evacuation. The Taliban, a known terrorist organization with a history of murdering Afghan citizens working alongside U.S. forces, should never have been trusted with those names...

The most transparent administration in history. What I mean is, it’s clear they’re a bunch of lying snakes.
LIke a Freeper said...I want the same 2nd Amendment rights that the Taliban have.....
This may be illegal. Aren’t they supposed to retain everything?
SloJo missed the short bus again. There are lots of lists (maybe official, maybe not) of the stuff we left behind. He can’t undo what’s out there already!
Obama and Biden have armed many enemy insurgents while trying to disarm American patriots.
Whether its arming the drug cartels of Mexico, the mullahs of Iran, tallibon terrorists or D.C. secret Service members to shoot innocent unarmed white women.
Stalinism
Can’t hide it from public sattelite imagery not managed in the US. I don’t like them at all, but I trust the Taliban more than Biden. The whole rotten administration, lower than worms.
Tucker said if they try to come for our guns, we will refuse until they retrieve the weapons they gave to the Taliban.
Ping.
WORST FAKE administration in HISTORY!!!!”DR JILL” wanted nothing less then being FIRSt Lady (?) ENJOY “WORST LADY”
Biden is a traitor. There’s just no question about it anymore.
Don’t get distracted by the pretty magician’s assistant, watch his hands... He has nukes in them and he’s going to give them to Iran.
Biden is not incompetent at lying — he lies like a pro! He is a FAKE and is very effective at being a fake, very effective at twisting the truth, very effective at fooling people. The more I see of his speech the more I see what a slick bastard he is. He fakes his competence and... his mental illness or dementia. I’ve never seen a person with dementia work so well at faking competence, work so well at lying and twisting the truth. So I think his mental illness is a FAKE too. What about his isn’t FAKE!
who manufactured and who was the lobbyist and who were the congresscritters that authorized all these purchases specifically for Afghanistan
When Trump said we had a brand spanking new military fully equipped, I doubt he realized where some of that spanking new stuff was actually going.
Biden is Nothing...you know it’s a cabal pulling his strings. The Coup is in full swing.
ERASING...
VERY bad. CRIMINAL, even...
Erasing...
Hmmmmm.
Where the Hell did I hear that before??

Afghanistan? Comeon man! We were never inAfghanistan.
