Two secret arms dumps left by US forces in case they return to Afghanistan have been found by the Taliban.

The caches - earmarked for US counter-terrorism “over the horizon” attacks against al-Qaeda and Islamic State - were hidden to help the US quickly attack terrorist organisations.

Both warehouse-sized stores contained hundreds of thousands of bullets, heavy weapons, missiles, survival supplies and even spare helicopters parts....

We need John Effing Kerry the Vietnam war hero to start dialog with the Taliban. Maybe he can get the Taliban to give back the gear. His first offer will be BILLIONS of $$ and then work upward.

The different units were lied to. They were told they were being rotated out, with the idea that a replacement unit was coming in. They were moved in the dead of night, no prep time, and no forewarning. They got their personal gear and personal weapons, and moved out. They probably didn’t know the whole story till they got back to home base and found out.

This was a totally rigged withdrawal KNOWING the enemy would get the stuff.

It means President Joe Biden ’s threat of future “over the horizon” attacks launched against terrorists without having a permanent Afghan base are battered.

That’s a VERY key paragraph. And yet, we see this in UK papers, but nary a word from anything US based.

“It meant there was a secret heavy punch against terrorism lying in reserve in case US troops needed to return suddenly, without bringing in huge supplies.

It doesn’t seem to be so “secret”, does it?

And this will NEVER be reported in the US:

Taliban gunmen have launched door-to-door searches for people suspected of having worked with the west in 20 years of fighting.
