King Mohammed Zahir Shah - Oct 1914 - July 2007
History has not been kind to the Afghans - some may not be aware - that Afghanistan had a royal family - the Durani Empire 225 years monarchial government - that ended with his death in 2007.
During World War II - the Afghan royal family - sided with Itlay, Germany, and Japan.
King Mohammed Zahir Shah went to Rome for an operation - and when he was in Rome - he was deposed - in a coup d'etat by his cousin and former Prime Minister - Mohammad Daoud Khan.
The King returned to Afghanistan in the year 2002 - after the Taliban were kicked out of Afghanistan.
Afghans bestowed the title Father of the Nation - his former place was restored - and he lived in Afghanistan until he died in 2007.
In 1963 President John F. Kennedy met with the King of Afghanistan - the United States recognized early on - Americans visited Afghanistan, and so did the British - I met many of them -when I visited Afghanistan - before the Soviets rolled in - after building the great highway - in the middle of a desert.
President Joe Biden fails to comprehend that we really went to Afghanistan in 1979 incognito - under an operation well known to the educated called " Operation Cyclone.. "
We spent millions - gave the Mujahideen - missiles - shoulder-held - that the Mujahideen used to down the helicopters and other planes - paying havoc with the Soviets.
If we went to Afghanistan in 1979 - never mind under the guise -of whatever one may call it - Banana Republic politics - a pretext that Osama bin Laden - was our target - we gave Osama bin Laden money - and we helped him and trained his Mujahideen to do our dirty work. That was 42 years ago.
Over 90 United States Generals and Admirals have sent a letter - asking General Miley and Secretary of State Austin - sending a strong message - from the retired Generals and Admirals - that the EXIT - that just took place - did happen - but it happened haphazardly. This happened on August 30, 2021.
We put thousands of Afghans in harm's way. The Main Media is slow to say loudly that 180 Afghans have died - yes, we must bear responsibility for human beings. I served my nation - and yes - I feel for the Marines that died - most of them Latino - young - and their sacrifice is noted - and our hearts are heavy.
We are a nation of laws - or so we say - we took over an agreement made by us - under the former President and egoistical maniac - with the Taliban and the Qatari government - dubious in nature - the same forces that killed innocent children in Yemen -the Qataris are not to be trusted - and now we have established our Embassy to deal with the Afghan situation - with those who participated in this ongoing mess.
Good leaders know the way, show the way, and go the way. Pathetic - that we have a leader - fumbling and trying to stand up - weak in the knees - those that whisper sweet nothings in his ear - do not have the best interest of humanity - and therefore are not to be trusted - I could say more - but will not.
President Joe Biden - makes a statement - and if he says that what he did was right - it was not. What he intended to do may be right - but how it did it - was completely wrong.
Exist plans are not easy to conduct - politicians uncanny as they come - liars - uncouth - folks not to be trusted - think they can say something, and we will swallow the bitter pill.
Right now, we have many Afghans - who are waiting to leave - some have documents, and others do not.
The Taliban got hold of the Biomatrix software and hardware - it was handed over to them - the Pakistanis and others - have access to this information.
At the many stops - if one is found to have worked for the U.S. Government, the Non-Governmental Organization, any entity that the Taliban deem to be working against them - that person and his family - are death with death - often the head chopped - this is barbaric.
Do not try to convince me that dealing with the Taliban is worth it - it is not - they may make it a point to deceive us - by helping us in one of two instances - but that is just to deceive us - we fall in the trap, and we are taken for a wild ride.
State Secretary Anthony Bilken has failed us. The present embassy to serve the Afghans is in Doha, Qatar - there is talk the Swiss Embassy may be asked to help us - is this how we treated - thousands of Afghans left behind - their personal history - in the hands of the Taliban - live or die - is this what we say - by our actions that are not well thought out.
Try getting a United States passport - it costs a lot of money - and takes a lot of time.
Try renewing a passport - it takes months - you pay more money - they call it expediting - and you still get your passport - after six weeks or not more.
What is happening to our State Department - we know the last idiot in the White House - messed things up - but that was some time ago - years if we count 2016 - and months - if we count from January 2021 to now - September 1, 2021.
When will we learn to be educated on issues?
Learn more about the homegrown terrorists - those that went to Capitol Hill - Representatives that helped the terrorists, and more.
We are a nation of laws - we believe in God - our faith is critical at this time - for decades, our government was bipartisan - no more.
We better studied our fundamental values - learn what empathy means - learn what it means to truly trust someone and our organization milking the system - the rampant corruption that we tolerated in Afghanistan - account for the $2 trillion we spent over 20 years.
The $ 80 billion we left and handed over to the enemy - arms, ammunition, expensive software, and hardware - what else is there to say?
What would President Eisenhower say?
What would President FDR have to say?
They stood in line - day after day - sometimes 10 days
in a row - no one took their documents - they took beatings, they took abuse - and all because they served the U.S.A. were promised freedom - and now left to die - at the hands of the barbaric Taliban.
