The White House declared “Mission accomplished” and took a victory lap on Monday over the greatest foreign policy disaster in US history.
The administration admitted to leaving behind at least 250 Americans. The number is very likely a lot higher. The administration started using language last week to indicate that everyone who “wanted to leave” were being taken care of. Why would anyone believe the administration at this point?
According to two reliable reporters, Lara Logan and Emily Miller, it appears our government was denying Americans access to the airport in Kabul. This allegation was buttressed by Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a former Navy Seal.
On Saturday:
Most Americans don’t understand what’s happening in Kabul – been on this all night again w no end. US citizens are fighting through enemy lines to get to the airport. When they show their blue passport to 82nd soldiers at the gate, many are turned away & sent back to the Taliban.

On Sunday, it got worse:
If anyone is not paying att, the one thing you need to know about what is happening now in Afghanistan that will explain much of what happens from here is this:
THE UNITED STATES IS DIRECTING PERSECUTED AFGHANS AND HIGH VALUE TARGET ALLIES INTO TALIBAN CONTROLLED CHECKPOINTS.— Lara Logan (@laralogan) August 29, 2021
Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL, who knows his way around a war zone, corroborated Logan’s report:
Also hearing State Department actively blocking efforts to land private aircraft for extractions.
For context, most of the efforts you’ve been hearing about are essentially coordination, not veterans physically flying in privately to extract people. https://t.co/2FlOMPug8k

Emily Miller posted a series of Tweets:
Report that buses of female American citizens were turned away at the gate at Kabul airport today from retired Army ops involved in the rescue efforts.

"We’re dealing with Kabul. There’s 7 buses of female American citizens. The CG refused to open the gate. We have a congressman with us and he had the state department reach out. MG Donahue refused. 10 minutes ago the females were taken by the Taliban. They are likely dead now."

Update from special ops leader on just the women on the bus – “I was told they are safe.” He said State Department involved.

The following is something that many people have become aware of. There are private groups of former military people who have been evacuating people from Afghanistan on their own. These are private flights organized by these individuals to get people out.
"We have made some headway in the past 12 hours or so. We finally have access into one country and guys were told they could fly tomorrow." – RET Special Operator leading teams in Afghanistan
*Tomorrow is now today there – Monday

Yes source is the retired special ops on the ground in Afghanistan trying to rescue Americans & Afghans but the USG stopped cooperating and on Sunday started actively blocking their efforts on Sunday – cited Biden @whitehosue @StateDept and @DeptofDefense https://t.co/UqLv6lzA0h

What does this mean? Several explanations jump up, none of them very pleasant. Andrea Widburg makes the following observation:
At this point, there are only two conclusions that can be drawn from what’s happening in Afghanistan, beginning with Biden’s decision to jettison Trump’s careful plan and continuing through to the present day:
(1) Everyone in the White House, the State Department, and the Pentagon is so incompetent that a roomful of drunk kindergarteners could have handled the withdrawal from Afghanistan better than they have, or
(2) What we’re witnessing is deliberate. I can believe that of Biden, who is a Chinese puppet. That the Pentagon brass would engage in this conduct means that they too are on the Chinese payroll which is a very distressing thought. Alternatively, it’s deliberate because these people have been so steeped in America-hatred that they are willingly sabotaging America to destroy it. They are the contents of the Trojan Horse.
I opt for #2. How many radical Islamic jihadists are headed to America now?
Tucker Carlson had something to say. He did not hold back.
They won’t admit they are wrong and don’t care what you think. They did “as well as possible.” Total FUBAR and they are taking victory laps.
