US ambassador accuses Blinken of leaving hundreds of Afghan women behind to die in botched evacuation

Kelley Eckels Currie says Taliban taking away woman's rights in Afghanistan is 'not acceptable'..

Despite a catastrophic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan

...

Among those at greatest risk under Taliban rule are women, who .. were severely oppressed during the Islamist group’s previous time in power in the late 1990s

...

It really made me angry at what had been done, and how poorly they have been treated by people who claim to be advocates for women and advocates for women's rights to see how badly they have treated these Afghan women who are incredibly vulnerable and incredibly brave

...

This administration has been more than willing to take the Taliban's word for all sorts of things, including the security and safety of American citizens. And we know for a fact that there have been incidents where the Taliban has beaten those American citizens, beaten their families and not allowed them to go forward into to the airport. And so I don't know why we would expect the Taliban to live up to very basic, very poorly constructed promises around women's rights.

...

A number of measures, had they been taken in advance, could have averted the chaotic U.S. pullout, she said.

Keeping U.S. forces stationed at Bagram Air Base until civilians had been evacuated

...

As the Taliban encircled Kabul earlier this month, President Biden and Secretary Blinken were on vacation, downplaying concerns over the Taliban’s rapid conquering of provincial capitals.

...

Before U.S. forces toppled the Taliban in 2001 in response to the Sept. 11 terror attacks, the group had forbidden women from working, going to school or going out in public without a male chaperone. Women were also forced to conceal their appearance under stifling burqas.

Of course this is the _former_ US Ambassador.

The current US ambassador is busy celebrating the victory of their glorious leader Bidet.

A group of citizens vs non citizens should be treated differently. Americans first.

“Not acceptable!”

Everytime I hear that I think: “What a wimpy response.”

Heard a guy from the WaComPost of all places say there were more than 200 American trained female judges in Afghanistan. These women judges have sentenced taliban members for crimes over the years and had them put in jail.

The women judges never got out of the country. The taliban criminals were released from prison during the takeover.

You figure out the rest.

In a week or 2 they won’t even be reporting on the atrocities anymore, and Biden will plod along like nothing ever happened. But when w repubicN is accused of something not even a 10th as horrible, they bet driven out of office.

Caught a fewfew minutes of Bret Bair u fortunate,y this morning, and he and ilk were practically defending Biden. Our side just doesn’t have the number of powerful news stations to counter the ,efts bs

Fox News is just another outlet of the Ministry of Propaganda that allows a few hosts that aren’t.

What about the seven busloads of American women grabbed up by the TB a couple of days ago? Was that fake news?
