Who is this fool commentator from the CIA who thinks giving security operations to the Taliban was a good idea?
This is some governmental bullshit. Bro be better, stop selling whatever you principles you have left for a check😒
What a POS! More lies from the inept CIA!!!
Maybe if the Taliban wasn’t in charge of screening who gets to go near the air port and we are than this wouldn’t have happened.
Do not let them lie anymore hold them to the fire
1:12 "The threat is always there" "You become inure to it" "you just react" "You're no longer as concerned"
Hey, this CIA veteran seems to KNOW what he's talkin' bout. THAT is EXACTLY the President's attitude as he expressed it.
Besides NO PRE-PLANNING in this RUSH to EXIT ——> Isn't announcing your time-table basically an invitation to the terrorists to attack us?
Never trust the forked tongue in every cia agents mouth. They are the enemy. 😱😲✌
Never seen a black cia operative on television
Yes now think about that as the US Military imports tens of thousands of young Afghan men of fighting age, how many of them are just pretending to be "refugees"?
Guys. Don't forget. Our military is a two edge sword. The 500,000 strong army, the 500, 000 strong navy/marines, and 250,000 strong air force to fight major wars. The other edge of that sword is SPECIAL OPs like delta force, navy seals, marine ops, and air force reconnaissance and rescue. The ISSIS K will be dealt with by that second sword.
What I find hilarious is Biden supporters have blood on their hands.. But somehow blame Donald Trump for this LOL what a bunch of human doorknobs..
This show is full of it
There is no way im putting this on America, Afghanistan's own president abandoned his own country, what have their leaders been doing for the last 20 yrs??
Ezekiel 38 is deep. God basically saying he's showing no mercy upon the men and the many people that are with them. You might be with them as in surrounded by them but you know you are not with them as in on their side. But when it comes down to God's wrath, you'll get the wrath right along with the people that the wrath was meant for. I don't know if you all have ever heard of reading between the lines. 🤷🏾♂️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbZBFflBm6M 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
In a situation like that, realistically, it's best to let it be. Too risky. Everyone is in danger already. When you are like prisoners surrounded by suicide bombers, even the help and bombers know that death is seconds away. You all have seen enough movies, almost everyone in these comments are adults. I understand that this is not a movie. I just pray for a better day. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
As of this writing , a covert operation has taken place to evacuate citizens and allies of America under the cover of darkness. Done so by dedicated veterans who know what needs to be done GOD BLESS YOU ALL. Let’s see how long it takes Biden to claim responsibility for this.
NOT AN INTELLIGENCE FAILURE?…this whole fiasco could have been avoided, you people chose not to follow the reports. You’re just another sponge making excuses for you’re incompetence. People like you and the media who will protect you need to be brought down.
Get out of this 😏
Impeachment Joe Biden and Kamala Harris immediatelly and possible martial court for them.
This was a CIA worker folks… stop believing the best work for our government. It’s actually the complete opposite! I’m guilty too
Hahahaha wow when you need a poop licker call this dude ASAP what a joke
Any loss of life especially that of American soldiers conducting a humanitarian mission is tragic. These things are always a mess. Saigon 1975, Beirut 1983 hundreds of American and French soldiers killed unfortunately the list is long. 100,000 people have been flown out in two weeks. From a purely logistical view that is amazing. The truth is we should have left years ago. The truth is American noncombatants were told to leave months ago and didn't. There's nothing to be done about the past. I am just glad we're finally getting out.
So USA planted poppies for 20 years and now they just go away? What message do you leave for the inhabitants? that they are doomed
well done USA
