Biden Will Not Prioritize Evacuating Thousands Of American Citizens Left Behind In Afghanistan. America Loses Another Useless War

On Sunday night John Kirby, press secretary for the Pentagon, told Fox News that the Biden administration will not prioritize evacuating Americans in Afghanistan versus the Afghans applying for visas to flee the country.

Once we get more airlift out of Kabul, we’re going to put as many people on those planes as we can.

There will be a mix, not just American citizens, but perhaps some Afghan [Special Immigrant Visa] applicants as well. We’re going to focus on getting people out of the country, then sorting it out at the next stop. It’s not going to be just Americans first, then [Special Immigrant Visa] applicants.

Breitbart reports, ‘According to an anonymous source at the Defense Department who spoke to Fox News, the administration is considering fast-tracking some 30,000 Afghan nationals into the U.S., sending them to Fort McCoy in Monroe County, Wisconsin, and Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, using the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program.’

Biden Defends Pullout

Amidst criticism for his decisions and statements, President Joe Biden stands “squarely behind” his decision to pull out the American armed forces from Afghanistan.

Biden admitted that the Taliban took over the nation much quicker than anticipated and noted America’s exit was “far from perfect,” but is deferring blame to others. Namely, the Afghan government for simply giving up and fleeing the nation.

If anything, the developments in the past week reinforced that ending U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan now was the right decision. American troops cannot and should not be fighting in a war, and dying in a war, that Afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves.

Joe Biden

‘The president’s remarks and the chaotic U.S. exit from Afghanistan will become the closing chapters in America’s longest war, one that began 20 years ago after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, as a hunt to bring justice to those who committed those acts,’ says the Wall Street Journal.

There is plenty that lawmakers disagree on with respect to withdrawal from Afghanistan, but we all agree that the United States must evacuate vulnerable Afghans immediately. The President reaffirmed this today and I urge his administration to do everything possible to evacuate them and their families and deal with the bureaucracy later. Lives are on the line.

Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire

Secretary of State Antony Blinken was directed by Biden directly to use $500 million from the Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund to aid the

Unexpected urgent refugee and migration needs of refugees, victims of conflict, and other persons at risk as a result of the situation in Afghanistan, including applicants for Special Immigrant Visas.

Biden furthered deferred blame to former President Trump, stating that he inherited a ‘drawdown agreement,’ and that the U.S. troops did all they could to do to prepare the Afghan military ready. Biden said we could not give them “will to fight for that future.”

Our 20-year, trillion-plus-dollar nation-building campaign, crippled by design flaws, cannot continue. I know this is hard for the foreign-policy establishment in Washington to accept, but staying another year or five years or 10 years wouldn’t have changed that.

Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut

The danger we have now is the next time we go to war—and we will—who’s going to believe us? Nobody. Whatever the next war is—and in this world it may be sooner rather than later—and now you try to convince the locals we’ll give you a visa to the United States if you help us?

They’re going to look at us and say your track record is 0 for 2 on that front – (referring to the withdrawal from Iraq.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

While the American people and politicians are up in arms once again, I’ll be the “bad guy” and said what needs to be said:

Tis our true policy to stay clear of permanent alliances, with any portion of the foreign world – so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it

George Washington in his farewell address

When is the last war America has one? World War II? But that was about the only semi-legitimate war America has fought in (and I attach ‘semi’ to the word because there was plenty of political scheming when digging deeper into the history, not the textbooks they gave us in public school and tell us in the media).

America has been messing around in foreign entanglements for a LONG time, due to it’s pride and bloodlust for conquest and empirical control. Just like the Romans…

So while it is a pity that the American workers are basically being told, “Let them eat cake” by it’s “Commander in Chief;” we have to get to the root of the problem: What in God’s green earth did we have any business doing over there in the first place!? It’s their nation, let them figure out their problems, and we’ll focus on us. But as I said, this nation has been long since starting endless and useless wars. Why? Because it’s how this nation makes its money, per the military industrial complex – which is why America will never attack Saudi Arabia (the people that supposedly smashed the planes into the Twin Towers), because that is one of the most oil-rich nations in the world, and Uncle Sam needs money to fund the wars, make it’s poisons and plastics, enrich big pharma, big tech, big ag, you name it – but rather, America fights an ongoing money sink to combat Bush’s “weapons of mass destruction” that didn’t exist.

And lest anyone jump for jellybeans, praising Trump for supposedly not getting us involved with foreign entanglements, we noted in February (when Biden dropped more bombs in Syria) that Trump was still dropping bombs, and in nations we had no prior quarrels with. Moreover, many people have forgotten in the beginning of 2020 when Trump ordered the murder of Soleimani (the second-in-command for Iran) and he said this:

We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war.

Donald Trump

I don’t defend Soleimani and the Iranian government, but again, what’s it to me? America is over in the Middle East committing acts of crime and terror in Syria and Iraq – but you can’t call it that here: here it is called “liberty” and “defense” in the media – and the Trump administration could not produce a shred of proof that Iran was going to attack us. But Trump’s Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany boasted on Fox News that the killing was the “greatest foreign policy accomplishment, I would say of all the decade, if not our lifetime.”

[17] Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. [18] If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Romans 12:17-18

And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

Romans 3:8

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
