THE TALIBAN MUST NOT BE TRUSTED - WE DID NOT HAVE A VIABLE AND SUSTAINABLE EXIT PLAN - WE CONTINUE TO FALTER - PUTTING INNOCENT AFGHANS WHO HELPED US IN HARM'S WAY - OUR POLITICIANS SINGING THE BLUES.







The Taliban walked into Kabul - the former President of Kabul, President Ashraf Ghani, fled in a helicopter full of cash - and some luxury cars and some minions who shared his cowardice.



The Afghan fiasco we are experiencing must not be repeated.

We did not have a vetted Exit plan - and so will have to deal with several horrific issues - some of which we have already witnessed - Afghans trying to escape - putting their lives in harm's way. 

Baghram Airport is in the hands of the Taliban. For their talk, they have no walk. 

Recently the United States froze over $9.5 Billion of Afghan assets.

To date, the United States does not have a viable agreement linked to allowing free access to the only airport we control in Kabul.

Now we hear outside the Airport are dead bodies - we do not know how many? Are we pussyfooting with the Taliban - or do we take care of business?

The United States just realized we need to move those we care about - essential workers, translators -  remove these folks - to a safe place and then process those who meet the requirements - and certify the required documents.

Afghans - are put in a bind - to acquire a P2 visa to come to the United States - they can start the process outside Afghanistan -  this makes no sense - and compounds the problem in Afghanistan.


 



The Taliban favor the Sharia Law - so that they are in control - under the pretext of the Sharia Law - they make their own rules - torture women, order innocent people around - stoning a woman, chopping off a hand, someone head - is common.  Such barbarians are not to be trusted - and have no place in any civilization.


President George Bush Jr. sent our troops to Afghanistan - when truly speaking, we should have targeted Saudi Arabia. 

The majority of the terrorists involved in the 9/11 incident were from Saudi Arabia. 

Many of us have heard it - but do not realize the implications - of the previous President of the United States - meeting with the Taliban - and signing an agreement.

The leader of the Taliban who heads the present group in Kabul was released from prison by the egoistical maniac - who lost the elections - and left the White House in disgrace.

He had the audacity to sign an agreement with the Taliban - mandating the United States to pull our United States troops - to leave Afghanistan by May 2021.

When President Joe Biden came in - he had to deal with several serious issues; one, of course, was the COVID-19 pandemic.

 Secondly - a virus raging within the Republic Party - negating any suggestion, project, law - the Infrastructure Bill - the Immigration Bill  - the and more - without any concrete Bipartisan agreement.


Senator Mitch O'Connell continues to be a pain in the ass.


Mitch O'Connell has been a pain in the ass - and still continues to talk from both sides of his mouth - as the minority leader in the Senate.

Mitch O'Connell must remember he will never, ever be the Majority leader in the Senate. He can cooperate in a meaningful way - and help this Nation - that has suffered and adversely impacted millions.

It did not help -January 6, 2021  - took us back 10 years.

We - became the laughing stock of the world.

 Even the Taliban know - how to push our buttons 

China is negotiating with the Taliban - the United States has frozen Billions of dollars - that belonged to the Afghan government. 

So far, we have the Taliban, but we do not have a sworn government in Kabul.

There are two entities - one in Quetta, Pakistan, and the other in Doha, Qatar - both continue to send messages - to the Taliban renegades in Kabul.  These entities purport to have the power - the kind of operation - cannot go on forever - the Taliban and the many Warlords in Afghanistan - will clash.

The Taliban Commanders are frustrated they do not have access to large amounts of money.

China - can make this happen - and have control of the Warlords - who have a say in many important matters inside - Afghanistan.



United States - Special Forces can do their job - again and again, politicians interfere and impede progress - we cannot invade any Nation - stay there for an extended period of time - forgetting that we went in for one singular objective - attained it - and should have got out. Right now, we do not have a viable exit plan.


In the year 2001 - the United States invaded Afghanistan.

We went to Afghanistan and removed the Taliban - the last time around.

We did that by paying a large amount of money to the Warlords - who rule the many Provinces in Afghanistan.

In a short time, the Taliban fled to Pakistan and neighboring nations - many Taliban to no man's zones - slowly but surely - we began to let our guard down.

This time around, the Taliban - began their entry from the outskirts - paying off the Warlords who gave the Taliban succor.

The Warlords hated Kabul - President Ashraf Ghani and his corrupt minions. 

The Afghan Warlords were waiting for some entity- Taliban or another entity  - to respect the Warlords' respect. 

Their kind of respect - the Afghan Warlords, enjoyed since 2021.

The Opium trades bring rich dividends to the Warlords - they may not use Opium products - but, for sure, they can sell Opium and make money - as much as $2 Billion.

The Warlords now have easy access to many arms and ammunition - they were closer to the arms and ammunition - when President Ashraf Ghani military trained by the United States - deserted - and left our war equipment for takes.

We must also be aware of helicopters and other military planes - taken to other nearby nations - by Afghan pilots - nations - having good relations with President Ashraf Ghani - our equipment worth billions.

Soon the Taliban will be fighting to control the arms and ammunition - the Warlords may give them back - but for a price.

China is well poised to help the Warlords - and the Taliban - they have dollars to spare. China also wants to build a high-speed railway - from any major city in China to Turkey - following the old Silk Highway. 

One stretch of land that came in the way earlier - was Afghanistan  - now that is possible. The Afghan takes pride in his freedom  - they handled the British, the Soviets, and the Americans.

They will trade with the Chinese - and remain in the cockpit to handle their affairs - the many Warlords in Afghanistan - have unlimited power - and soon will make demands of the Taliban. Who do you think will win?



Nancy the Speaker of the House in No help to President Biden.



The utter mess at the Kabul airport.




These thugs with U.S. war equipment - are all over the place - doing what they want - bullying innocent Afghans - but stopping short of killing too many randomly. Yet, we have empirical data - of shooting and killings - in the inner cities Kandahar, Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif, and so on.  




Our Defense Secretary Floyd Austin - is confounded - perplexed - and confused - we must act with a viable and sustainable plan - time is running out - we have 14 days left - and no viable Logistics in place. Logistics counts - without logistics - you have utter confusion. 



President Joe Biden is a good man - it is not his fault that he inherited a barrel of bad apples. Vice Kamala Harris is all talk and no walk - and has no military experience - less about logistics, exit plans - and cannot handle her duties the immigration issues on our Southern Border.
