Afghanistan

On New Day, CNN military analyst retired Major General Spider Marks was outraged that the US government will be leaving Americans behind in Afghanistan, saying it goes against the "no man left behind" ethos of the US military. He says the US needs to "get in the face" of the Taliban, and tell them that all Americans and SIV holders will be evacuated, either with the Taliban's cooperation or…

On Thursday morning and early afternoon, MSNBC analyst Malcolm Nance went to work as a Biden administration ally and keyboard warrior in downplaying and excusing the deadly bombings near the Kabul airport, tweeting people need to “#DealWithIt” that people died because it is, after all, Afghanistan. Just before noon Eastern, Nance tweeted: “20 YEARS- FYI there have been terrorist suicide…

On Wednesday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe was hoping that the Afghanistan catastrophe would “fade from the headlines” just in time for President Biden and the Democratic Party to make a political comeback before the 2022 midterm elections. The liberal wish-casting even went so far as to suggest “more and more people are going to agree with what he did” and eventually give him “credit” for the…

The Taliban's rapid rise to power after President Biden's poorly-planned withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan is a humanitarian disaster for the people of that country, especially women and children; a potential death sentence for the thousands of Afghans who helped U.S. forces during the past 20 years; a strategic debacle for the U.S.; and a moment of sick celebration for radical…

Even liberal Politico has cast aspersions upon the credibility of the Biden administration on Afghanistan.

After almost an entire week away on vacation (aside from an August 23 briefing), The Psaki Show hasn’t exactly gone swimmingly for the Biden administration and, like Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday was no exception as Press Secretary Jen Psaki had little in the way of friendly reporter questions as Fox’s Peter Doocy had the cavalry on his side in pressing on issues surrounding the collapse of…

While the Biden administration was getting ready to abandon anywhere between 1,000 and 1,500 Americans along with thousands of Afghans that helped American troops over the course of the last 20 years, ABC reported on Wednesday that they had made moves behinds the scenes to help one Afghan interpreter and his family escape the country as the Taliban nipped at their heels.

Has Newsweek lost its mind? The outlet published an insane article giving the Taliban praise for promising to fight “terror” and “climate change” in order to gain legitimacy in world politics.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough supports President Biden's decision not to extend the August 31st deadline for evacuating American citizens and Afghan allies from Afghanistan. Scarborough says he's worried about attacks by ISIS and the more radical elements of the Taliban. 

On Wednesday, as news broke of bipartisan members of Congress traveling to Kabul to conduct oversight of the Biden administration’s disastrous and rushed withdrawal from Afghanistan, hack reporters on the CBS and NBC morning shows parroted nasty White House talking points smearing the lawmakers – both Afghan war veterans – as “selfish” politicians creating a “distraction.”

With reports that the military was beginning to withdraw from the Kabul airport long before all Americans were evacuated from Afghanistan, former Republican Matthew Dowd made an appearance on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront on Tuesday to prove to everyone he was living in another reality. According to his rambling, Biden was America’s miracle worker that deserved praise because he had…

On Tuesday, President Biden made it clear that he would not extend the evacuation of Americans and allies past his arbitrary August 31 deadline. And with the military’s need to pack up their own stuff and Fox News warning that the military would leave in roughly three days, it was obvious Biden was ready to completely abandon Americans to their fate with the Taliban. And of the big three…

A CNN New Day guest this morning was Army Reserve Major Matt Zeller. He is part of an informal network of military and intel people with previous Afghanistan experience who are now trying to help Afghan allies to evacuate. Asked to comment on whether an extension of the August 31st deadline for evacuation is desirable, Zeller said: "The reality is we do need more time [or] we're going to end…

Appearing almost four hours late in the White House Briefing Room, Press Secretary Jen Psaki faced more excellent questions Tuesday afternoon over the Biden administration’s handling of Afghanistan. As was the case on Monday, Fox’s Peter Doocy led the way with questions about vetting Afghan refugees, whether she’d take back her claim that people aren’t “stranded” in Afghanistan, and whether…
