Today, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was proud of the fact that 120,000 people were evacuated from Afghanistan, but only 6,000 were Americans.
Thousands of these evacuees were rescued by foreign countries and not the US.
If that’s even true…
She also told the Country that there was no threat of terrorist groups like ISIS-K or the Taliban attacking the United States.
Last week The Gateway Pundit reported on the billions of dollars of military equipment that Joe Biden left in Afghanistan, unguarded for his Taliban comrades.
Now, just two weeks before the 20th anniversary of 9/11, the Taliban are armed to the teeth with the fattest pockets they’ve ever seen.
Reporter: The President said he believed, and recently you followed and said the same that, “We believe that they were on pace,” this was before the attack, “On pace for the achievement of our objective.” So as we approach that deadline either tonight or tomorrow night, whatever it is, did the US accomplish its objective knowing that there will be likely thousands of SIV applicants and others still there and certainly some Americans as well? Did we achieve our objective?
Psaki: I think first we have to date evacuated more than 120,000 people. That’s 120,000 lives that we have saved, including 6,000 Americans and their families, many of them dual nationals. And we are continuing, our commitment is enduring to Afghan partners, to American citizens who may not have decided to leave. That is their right to determine when they want to leave. That commitment is enduring. But we have saved more than 120,000 lives and I would let you evaluate that for yourself. Go ahead.
Reporter: Can we talk about as the US prepares to leave, whether tonight or tomorrow, there are going to be billions of dollars worth of US-made munitions, arms, military aircraft, armored vehicles that have fallen in the hands of the Taliban here, giving them new capabilities they didn’t have before this. Are Americans less safe now because the Taliban now has access to billions of dollars worth of American-made weaponry?
Psaki: Well, let me unpack your question a little bit. Because the US military, part of their retrograde effort is to reduce the amount of military equipment or apparatus that anyone on the ground has access to. I’m not going to get into the details of how they do that, but that is part of their effort. I will also reiterate something that our National Security Advisor said just last week, we had to make an assessment several weeks ago about whether we provide materials to the Afghan National Security Forces so that they could fight the fight — obviously, they decided not to fight — or not. And we made the decision to provide them with that equipment and the material.
The third piece I would note that’s very important here is that we have not assessed that any group on the ground, whether it’s ISIS-K or the Taliban has the ability to attack the United States. Whoa. We clearly need to… Sorry, that was an aggressive bug. We need to ensure that remains the case, but that is not a capability that we have assessed to be the case at this point in time. There’s a difference between the threat that is posed to US men and women serving or people who are gathering outside of the gates in Kabul, and whether these individuals can attack the United States.
Psaki is proud of the evacuation numbers, 5% of which were actual Americans and only lord knows how many are Taliban affiliates.
Meanwhile, hundreds, if not thousands of Americans will be left behind in the war zone with no hope of returning.
They didn’t just acquire all of this new equipment. They stole it from us, meaning we no longer have access.
The Gateway Pundit reported that the Taliban now has more Blackhawk Helicopters than 85% of the countries in the world.
UPDATE – “Taliban Now Has More Black Hawk Helicopters Than 85% Of Countries In The World”: OBAMA 2.0
This was a humiliation unlike any other, on the world stage.
With a leader like Joe Biden, we are weaker than ever.
After the disaster they committed in Afghanistan, why should we trust them to keep us safe at home?
