Embassy staff feels 'betrayed' by US and rather be killed by Taliban than face Kabul airport chaos
Daily Mail "Damaging US cables reveal staff working at the American Embassy in Kabul are 'deeply disheartened' by the Biden Administration's withdrawal, with some even saying 'it would be better to die under the Taliban's bullet' than attempt to flee to safety. The jarring statement was part of a diplomatic cable from Afghan US Embassy staff, who said they've been separated from their children, according to NBC News, which obtained the message. 'Happy to die here, but with dignity and pride,' another embassy staffer said, while a third accused the U.S. of prioritizing Afghan government elites with vast wealth and the connections to safely flee.

USA TODAY 'Flat wrong': Fox News' Chris Wallace confronts Blinken on Biden's al-Qaida statement
Yahoo "Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday confronted Secretary of State Antony Blinken over President Joe Biden's claims on Afghanistan, including the suggestion that al-Qaida is no longer active in the country.
"Biden told reporters Friday that the United States no longer needs troops in Afghanistan to counter al-Qaida, which was behind the 9/11 attacks.
"“What interest do we have in Afghanistan at this point with al-Qaida gone?” Biden said. "We went to Afghanistan for the express purpose of getting rid of al-Qaida in Afghanistan, as well as... getting Osama bin Laden. And we did."
"Wallace during the interview with Blinken on "Fox News Sunday" said what the president was "flat wrong."
"What is ISIS-K?: Brutal militant group – a rival to Taliban – poses terror threat to U.S. evacuation
" 'What the President said just wasn’t true," Wallace said after playing a short clip of Biden's remarks.
"Earlier this summer, the United Nations released a report that al-Qaida is present in "at least 15 Afghan provinces, primarily in the east, southern and south-eastern regions." Wallace cited the report to Blinken.
"Blinken tried to reframe Biden's statement, noting al-Qaida is no longer the force it once was." . . .

Biden’s Indefatigable Incompetence; Pitiful, helpless pusillanimity in Afghanistan.
Biden’s Indefatigable Incompetence ". . . Also on Friday, we learned that Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue, the commander of the 82nd Airborne, called his British counterpart to demand that they stop evacuating civilians because it made the US military’s effort look bad. (Donohue denies making this request.)
The Brits have been sending elements of their famed 22nd Parachute Regiment — part of the Special Air Service, which is comparable to our SEALs or Green Berets — to take British citizens to safety. Fortunately, according to a Washington Times report, the British commander told Donahue to bugger off. Pusillanimity had never been a characteristic of the 82nd Airborne, but with Biden, Lloyd Austin, and Mark Milley in charge, both the alleged request by Donohue and the Brit’s reply are entirely believable. The Brit effort — as well as those of France, Germany, and other nations — is making us look bad because we’re not doing the same for our people." . .
..."As I wrote on Friday, it is clearly within our capability to clear convoy routes by force, send in our troops to gather up U.S. citizens, and get them to the airport. If they have to kill a few hundred Taliban — or however many more that is necessary — to do so, so much the better.
"But we’re not doing that. Our forces — again, directed by Biden, Austin, and Milley — are sitting inside the airport perimeter. On Friday, Biden said, “I cannot promise what the final outcome will be, or that it will be without risk of loss, but as commander-in-chief I can assure you I will mobilize every resource necessary.” So far, all he’s done is to mobilize Civil Reserve Air Fleet assets — about eighteen civilian airliners — to carry people out of the Qatar refugee center to the U.S. and other nations."...
Biden has been wrong, or worse, for his entire, sorry career (msn.com) . . . "That still doesn’t absolve the media of its obligation to examine the equally powerful evidence that Joe Biden is a liar, a serial plagiarist, a foreign-policy numbskull, a political coward, and a useful idiot for the radical Left.
As for cowardice, it is beyond all reason that Biden doesn’t face repeated questions and harsh criticisms from every media outlet about his refusal to say whether he would sign a bill to pack the Supreme Court. It is one of the election’s most important issues, with momentous ramifications for the court’s independence and the nation’s future." . . .
"It defies all journalistic standards for editorial boards to not demand answers about why Biden ferried his troubled son Hunter on Air Force Two to China when Hunter was seeking lucrative business deals from entities controlled by the Communist Chinese government." ...
Biden's administration is either too incompetent or too dishonest to operate (msn.com)
Either the Biden administration lied to the public, or it is so incompetent and inefficient that senior officials cannot accurately interpret intelligence reports. Neither of these scenarios is good.
124 retired generals and admirals question Biden's mental health
The Hill via Changing America (Even back in May!) "A group of retired U.S. military admirals and generals signed a letter released Tuesday questioning President Biden’s fitness for office and seemingly challenging the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
"The letter, and posted by Flag Officers 4 America, said the “Constitutional Republic is lost” without “fair and honest elections that accurately reflect the 'will of the people.'”
" 'The FBI and Supreme Court must act swiftly when election irregularities are surfaced and not ignore them as was done in 2020," the letter added.
"Former Attorney General William Barr said in December the Justice Department uncovered no evidence of voter fraud that could have affected the outcome of the 2020 election, ." . . .
World Leaders Lash Out at Biden Over Afghanistan Debacle, One Ally Holds Joe in "Contempt"
Wayne Dupree Global leaders this week slammed Joe Biden for the absolute dog’s breakfast that was and is the Afghanistan disaster. He has done everything wrong. Everything.
"FNC: “President Biden’s pledge to renew America’s standing on the world stage is in jeopardy as international leaders are expressing outrage over his rushed withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, leading to the quick collapse of Kabul and the rise of Taliban military rule.
"‘I’m sending a clear message to the world, America is back, the transatlantic alliance is back and we’re not looking backward, we’re looking forward together,’ Biden declared earlier this year in a virtual address to the annual Munich Security Conference.
"Now, both critics and allies of the U.S. are slamming Biden for abruptly ending its 20-year North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) campaign in Afghanistan, endangering allied nationals as well as friendly Afghans throughout the country as the Taliban gains control.”
"German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday that German troops, which made up the largest military deployment after the U.S., would have stayed if Americans remained and that “domestic political reasons” motivated Biden’s decision." . . .
