US Drone Strike in Kabul - Evac Operation - Part 2 - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 3.56pm post, "  US military carries out airstrike on vehicle fitted with explosives and reportedly carrying 'multiple suicide bombers' towards Kabul airport "

Lets Get Real:

On the political side this will help Biden, even some Democrats on the Hill have stated that the evac operation was to short and did not allow to get ALL US Citizens out of Kabul, also Afghan allies who have worked the Allies.  The problem might come up if the Taliban take US hostages, Afghanistan is a big place to hide hostages, also ISIS- K might try to attack Americans still in Country.   Thus the Biden Administration has to be CLEAR with the Taliban, any of that kind of rubbish and the Americans will be back, also that it is up to the Taliban to protect Americans and Afghan Allies still in Country, if they want to see any of the frozen assets of the previous Afghan government.  This will be a long term story to keep eye on. 

2nd US Strike on ISIS-K - Kabul Evac - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.40pm post the following, " US officials have now said the operation - an air strike involving a drone - targeted a suicide bomber in a vehicle who was aiming to carry out an attack at Kabul airport. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus it seems that POTUS has his hand on the trigger finger and will order drone strikes, the question is will he do this after the US is out of Afghanistan. It can be postulated that ISIS-K will try to grow in Afghanistan, they will do combat with the Taliban for control, as long as they kill each other then the innocent people can breath easily.  The problem starts should Al Qaeda get a second wind and try to export terror to Western Europe or the US.  The same goes for Daesh and its offshoot ISIS-K.  The CIA and the NSA should keep a close eye on Afghanistan, if they see Afghans they do not like the look off they should have the authority to drone them.  

Last UK flight from Afghanistan - Biden Era

Guardian: Reports " Final UK evacuation flight purely for Afghan nationals has left Kabul airport.. Chaotic airlift ends after taking around 14,000 people out of Taliban-controlled country "

Lets Get Real:

What started with a terror attack on 9/11 ends with the ALLIES handing Afghanistan back to the terrorists, in the shape of NEW Taliban2.0 ( for the moment, it can be argued that the OLD Taliban will come back), thus they will allow Al Qaeda to come back, their promises to the WEST mean nothing. Also it can be argued that that Taliban and ISIS-K might be enemies at the moment, but who is to say that will not change, now that the Taliban have control of nearly all of Afghanistan.  The West has to be on guard, Al Qaeda could be reborn, ISIS-K could become a THREAT.  The West will be back in Afghanistan, we always come back. 

Over hundred thousand rescued from Kabul - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.47pm post the following, " The US has helped a total of 117,000 people flee Taliban rule, including 6,800 in the last 24 hours "

Lets Get Real:

In any other context this would be a great number, but let's recall we have LEFT UK citizens and Afghan Allies at the mercy of the Taliban and ISIS-K.  The Taliban have closed down a music school as that is against their agenda.  After the West has left, we should expect the Taliban to return to form, banning girls from School, banning them from work, banning Western culture, etc. The Taliban are two groups, one side has had contact with the West due to diplomatic talks, while the foot Soldiers WANT to impose their view of Islam on Afghanistan.  Thus to keep the terror group together and to prevent defections to ISIS-K expect the OLD Taliban to come back.  The West will NOW have to deal with the threat form a new Al Qaeda, Daesh and ISIS-K.  Afghanistan will become a home for Islamic terrorists, and all because Joe Biden is an OLD MAN, who can not understand that he has never been right about foreign policy.

US Drone Strike on ISIS-K - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.29pm post the following, " High-profile IS targets killed in strike - Pentagon...Maj Gen William Taylor...said two high-profile Islamic State group targets had been killed in the targeted strike, with another wounded.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus President Biden was as good as his word, he gave the go order to kill two high profile ISIS-K targets, one was a future planner for ISIS-K as stated on CNN and the other was a facilitator.  The revenge was swift for the Kabul attack, the question is if the Defence Department had these suspects in sight why didn't they take action before, also it suggests that  the Kabul operation might still be on going.  The Biden favourite line is that the US has a over the horizon ability, in other words, un - manned drones, that can be used instead of sending the troops in.   The problem with Afghanistan NOW that the West has left, is Al Qaeda will come back, and try to reform to its pre 9/11 days, while the ISIS-K will be fighting the Taliban for leadership of Afghanistan, and it might become a THREAT TO THE WEST.  One can say with some authority and a basic understanding of history, that the West will be back in Afghanistan. 

Biden on the Taliban - Biden Era

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 10.47pm post the following, " On the dependence on the Taliban to help secure the perimeter of the Kabul airport. Biden said, “It’s not a matter of trust. It’s a matter of mutual self-interest.”....“We’re just counting on their self-interest to continue to generate their activities. And it’s in their self-interest that we leave when we said and that we get as many people out as we can,” he said. “They’re not good guys, the Taliban. I’m not suggesting that at all.” "

Lets Get Real:

This blog can not remember a past POTUS who has given terrorists, and the Taliban are terrorists a VETO on US national security.  POTUS has shown that he is a empty suite, he promises ACTION, but that President never shows up.  Even NOW after the death of 13 US Servicemen he cannot admit he was wrong.  If he had listened to his Military he would have left the 2, 500 troops in Afghanistan, if  he had there would not be NOW 13 DEAD US Servicemen.  One hopes that the Republicans retake the House and Senate next year, then they can do a REAL investigation in to the Kabul evac and how much pressure did the White House place on the military to have such a low deployment, how many YES men/women are in the BIDEN WHITE HOUSE.  Of course that is NEXT YEAR, it depends how feckless the US VOTER is, by next year if the Biden 3.5 trillion package on the domestic front passes the US Congress, then Biden will run on his domestic record.  Of course next year is a long time, as today has show the terrorists have their own agenda, one hopes the CIA and NSA are doing their thing, and catches the terrorists before they ACT, leaving US security Joe Biden would be a mistake. 

Biden White House COVERS for the Taliban - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 11.11pm post the following, " White House press secretary Jen Psaki admits the attack is the "worst" moment during Joe Biden's time in office so far...However, she says there is still no information to suggest the Taliban had any knowledge of or was involved in the attack. "

Lets Get Real:

WHEN the WHITE HOUSE Press Secretary is covering for the Taliban it shows the White House is out of its depth, a President who looked and acted tired at his press conference, expected the press to be nice to him, held his folder as if live preserver.  If the Biden White House trusted the Taliban with a list of name of those that worked for the allies, it shows they do understand the situation and are more dangerous than Donald Trump.  Any other President, Harry S. Truman, JFK or Ronald Reagan would have done more, increased the presence of the US outside the KABUL AIRPORT, dare the Taliban to stop them.  Thus the US would have been in charge of those coming in to airport at the outer ring.  The fact the US Military trusted the Taliban is a concern, also the US military gave the Oval a get out of jail card by stating that they didn't need more military, of course they don't, this Biden evac was crazy from the start, also the recall the lessons of Vietnam.
