EXCLUSIVE: Taliban uncover secret US high-tech weapons stores in deep embarrassment for Pentagon
The Mirror UK ^ | 28 September 2021 | Chris HughesDefence and Security Editor

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....

Milley's coming back tomorrow for more questioning, yes? Will someone ask him about this?

They weren't abandoned. Those are Hillary style Benghazi weapons sales franchises. The state department most likely has the sets of keys to the front doors and cash vaults waiting for the grand opening.

Simple fix. Just drop a 5,000 pound JDAM on each facility warehouse. It's ours to blow up anyway?

Problem solved.

I never served active duty military nor have I ever seen combat. So I will defer to those who have. But dammit why didn’t they blow and booby trap everything they could, including rifle ammo. Spike the artillery tubes, blow the birds and ground vehicles, burn everything else. Damn!

It's early in the week.

By Friday, the JoeMedia will be telling us what a brilliant move this was by The Joek.

And you know the best part?

This happened THE DAY AFTER Obama came from behind the curtain, to lecture us how we need to ban civilian guns in America.

This was an intentional hand over of weapons to the enemy. It is the only explanation that makes sense of this bizarre situation. Mere incompetence cannot explain this disaster

B52’s should have been dispatched when anyone got close.

BINGO. Anybody that knows covid is a Plandemic, knows or should know, Afghanistan is a planned hand-over. Complete, with fake news cover stories to plant blame, with fake C-17 taxiing, deaths, "loss" of equipment, and now finding tranches of equipment.

One outcome of this for any sanity is to turn off ANY regular news - including Faux, along with CNN/PBS/ABC/etc. Watching and taking in any of it is, frankly, akin to drinking poison.

I’ve said this before, but the Taliban need money and probably need food more than weapons and military at this point, so, why don’t they set up an eBay-like auction site? I, as an American taxpayer, would like an opportunity to buy back some of the equipment our government bought and lost with my squandered money, especially at very reasonable prices. This might be a real win-win here. We have a constant ammunition shortage that this could help solve. I don’t have any use for guns and ammo myself but I’d like to get a third-gen night vision setup on the cheap to hook up to my astronomical telescope. Also, it would be pretty cool if I could get one of those militarized laptops. Those are really made well and built to last, but I’ll bet they will get bid up by the internet geeks.

I realize that shipping and delivery might be a “problem” with customs and so forth, but I have a solution for that also. Why not have our new South American friends deliver this equipment over the southern border? UPS and Amazon are overloaded with work as it is, and I’m sure that these new residents would like a few bucks in their pockets when they start their lives here as our neighbors. This would give them their first taste of good old capitalism and business. Even those who object to this great idea for some foolish reason would have to admit that it would be better than bringing fentanyl and who knows what other kinds of drugs with them.
