This is why we don’t negotiate with terrorists, or didn’t used to…I think they got the better end of that deal. That was a worse trade than Tony Perez for Woody Fryman and Nolan Ryan for Jim Fergosi combined.
Here’s a video of a sample of what’s being left behind. Sickening.
WTF? They’ve had SIX MONTHS to get all that **** out of there!
Between 2003 and 2016, the United States transferred 75,898 vehicles, 599,690 weapons, 162,643 pieces of communications equipment, 208 aircraft, and 16,191 pieces of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance equipment to Afghan forces, according to a 2017 Government Accountability Office report.
From 2017 to 2019, the United States also gave Afghan forces 7,035 machine guns, 4,702 Humvees, 20,040 hand grenades, 2,520 bombs and 1,394 grenade launchers, among other equipment, according to a report last year from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR).
That's just a tiny portion ...

From WION (India):
Perhaps they meant Rupees?$25,000 for an M4???
I guess they looked up how much it would be worth if they sold them on INGO.
Not how much Uncle Sam paid for them.
This could be real. I’ve heard a few other things today that in any other time you would be sure were from the Bee. You actually can’t make this stuff up.Biden Wishing There Was Something The President Could Have Done To Prevent This Tragedy
WASHINGTON, D.C.—A sorrowful President Biden expressed deep sadness over the horrific tragedy consuming Afghanistan, wishing only that there was something the President of the United States could have possibly done.babylonbee.com
Bad judgment further clouded by dementia. I can’t even stand to listen to the man try to talk. How in the hell did we get here?You know it's bad when you've lost The Atlantic. Whoo boy. They aren't pulling punches.
"Perhaps the place to begin is by recognizing that Biden has never been an impressive strategic thinker. When talking about his strengths, those close to Biden stress his people skills: his ability to read foreign leaders, to know when to push and when to yield, when to socialize and when to turn to business. But that’s very different from having a strategic vision and a sophisticated understanding of historical events and forces.
What the Biden foreign-policy record shows, I think, is a man who behaves as if he knows much more than he does, who has far too much confidence in his own judgment in the face of contrary advice from experts. (My hunch is he’s overcompensating for an intellectual inferiority complex, which has manifested itself in his history of plagiarism, lying about his academic achievements, and other embellishments.)
On national-security matters, President Biden lacks some of the most important qualities needed in those who govern—discernment, wisdom, and prudence; the ability to anticipate unfolding events; the capacity to make the right decision based on incomplete information; and the willingness to adjust one’s analysis in light of changing circumstances.
To put it in simple terms, Joe Biden has bad judgment."
Orange man bad……and mass cheating.Bad judgment further clouded by dementia. I can’t even stand to listen to the man try to talk. How in the hell did we get here?
I’m fearful at least one of them won’t end up landing on an airstrip. Yes, I’m thinking 9/11 all over again… somewhere…Has anyone heard where all of the missing airplanes landed at yet?
