Blinken Just Told Us How Many Biden Really Left Behind in Afghanistan

by Matt Margolis

 

I’ve been skeptical of the Biden administration’s official number of Americans still left in Afghanistan. They’ve said about 100-200 Americans were left behind (still a tragedy) but one U.S. official said that over 5,000 Americans were likely to end up stranded in the country by the time U.S. forces left. As of yesterday, they are saying there are about 100 Americans still there—which likely means nothing has changed since the withdrawal concluded on August 30. But Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a stunning admission today. According to him, the “best estimates are that there’s several thousand [U.S.] green card holders in Afghanistan.” Several thousand green card holders?

GOP Will Force Democrats to Label the Taliban as Terrorists or Deny the Fact With New Bill

 

 

According to The Hill, the bill is called the “Preventing Recognition of Terrorist States Act” and was introduced by Sens. Marco Rubio, Tommy Tuberville, Shelley Moore Capito, Dan Sullivan, Thom Tillis, and Cynthia Lummis. It will call on Secretary of State Antony Blinken to “designate the illegitimate Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan as a state sponsor of terrorism and the Taliban as a terrorist organization,” according to Rubio’s office.

 

 

The bill goes even further according to The Hill:

The bill also calls for sanctions on foreign actors who “knowingly provide assistance to the Taliban” and would mandate a report “that determines whether the Taliban should be designated as a significant foreign narcotics trafficker under the Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act.”

 

The senators also aim to make sure that U.S. taxpayer money does not go to any foreign terrorist organizations that may be present in Afghanistan.

Back to the Joe Biden Afghanistan thread..............

 

 

Today at 3 pm, one of the thirteen service members tragically killed in Afghanistan will be traveling through Fairfax County.

A police motorcade will escort the hearse with two helicopters above.

Anyone who wishes to show their respect is asked to be present on the overpasses along the route: I66E to 495S

HMMM: Signs point to Milley’s exit. “

 

Baseball fans know the score. When the general manager says he’s behind the manager 100%, that means the manager has two weeks left.

 

Biden just said, ‘I have great confidence in General Milley.’

 

Look for Milley to soon decide to spend more time with his family.”

How many drone strikes killed civilians under Trumps watch?

 

Trump pledged to stop 'endless wars' but his airstrikes in Afghanistan increased civilian deaths by 330% since 2016

 

Where were your faux tears then?

 

And why would Trump do this?

 

Trump revokes Obama rule on reporting drone strike deaths

Trump Inherited the Drone War but Ditched Accountability

 

In Somali alone, there were a total of 263 U.S. counter-terrorism airstrikes, drone strikes, and ground raids from 2003 to 2021. Of the 263, the majority (202) occurred under the Trump administration. Collectively, between 1,479 and 1,886 people have been killed in the U.S. strikes in Somalia: between 1,389 and 1,696 militants, between 34 and 121 civilians, and between 56 and 69 unknowns. LINK

 

Again, where were your faux tears then?
