Terrorist ACTED Alone in US terrorist Attack - FBI Update - Trump 47 Era

 BBC News - Live Update: Reports in its 4.36pm post the following, " FBI now believes Jabbar acted alone...the agency now believes that no-one else was involved in the attack apart from Shamsud-Din Jabbar....As a reminder, the FBI had previously said it did not believe Jabbar acted alone.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the importance of waiting for the full investigation to finish, it seems for now the terrorist acted alone, it is important that the FBI can investigate without the pressure of the media and the cyber world.   On this blog will wait in till it is finished. There is the election of a new House Speaker, and the funeral Jimmy Carter and the inauguration of Trump 47to come, then this blog will be back to his favourite subject American politics.

More than one person involved is latest US terror act - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 10am post that multiple people involved in terrorist attack in US.

Lets Get Real:

Thus far 15 people have been killed in New Orleans, Louis and and many injured.  This blog will not do regular updates, will wait in till Federal Authorities are finished, does not want to report in case there are mistakes, the 24 News Channels will cover the story in detail.

Did POTUS LIE about Military advise when it came to Afghanistan ?- Biden Era

The Hill: Reports " Top generals contradict Biden, say they advised leaving 2,500 troops in Afghanistan "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the TRUTH comes out, the mess that was Afghanistan and the withdrawal was down to President Biden, thus confirming what the former Defence Secretary Robert Gats stated his memoir, POTUS has not been right about foreign policy and national security for 40 years.  Did the Biden Oval really think that they could hide the FACT that the General has advised POTUS to keep US troops in Afghanistan, and if the US had done this, then the Kabul Government would not have fallen and girls and women would have kept their freedoms.  The Republicans should make great play of this, a President who went against the advise of his Generals, and thus made a massive strategic error.  One really has to ask is Biden fit to be President, one hopes after the Mid Terms if the Republicans take the House and the Senate that they have joint committee to investigate if Biden is FIT to be the President and Commandeering Chief of US Forces.

The REAL TALIBAN - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Afghanistan: Taliban hang bodies as warning in city of Herat, say reports "

Lets Get Real:

The above is the real Taliban, lying, murdering scum, the dead bodies were placed there after they were killed in a kidnapping attempt, what kind of State places the bodies of the dead on public view, the UN and the rest of the World should never accept the Taliban as the Government of Afghanistan. If they are back to their old ways, when it comes to execution and torture, then they are not fit company for ANY NATION.  One can almost be sure that Al - Qaeda will back in Afghanistan to train new terrorists, the Taliban are seen as enemies of ISIS-K, one would take that information with much caution, a terrorist is a terrorist, it does not matter which faction they represent.  The West should be on guard when it comes to the Taliban and Afghanistan. 

Taliban BAN girls from School - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " The Taliban have excluded girls from Afghan secondary schools, after they ordered only boys and male teachers to return to the classroom.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is the TRUE face of the Taliban, the Taliban2.0 was a smoke screen for the media, it seems in all their years out of power that the Taliban took media lessons, of course most of the media coverage Afghanistan has shifted on to other stories, that is the nature of 24/7 news cycle.  The Taliban as this blog has stated are lying, murdering scumbags, how POTUS can look at his face in the mirror and not looked ashamed, he is Catholic, and claims to be a good one, how could he walk the other side of the street while knowing what the Taliban are, no one with honour or dignity would have behaved in such a manner.  The Republican should hammer this home in the MID TERMS and in the general election of 2024.  The World faces another three years of Biden, one can only image what a mess he will create in that time.  

Women BANNED from Sport by the TALIBAN - Biden Era

Guardian: Reports " Afghan women to be banned from playing sport, Taliban say.. National cricket team included in prohibition, as interim government containing no women starts work  "

Lets Get Real:

Those that thought the Taliban had been reborn as Taliban2.0 have been shown to the WRONG, the Taliban are lying murdering bastards, who deserve the contempt of the West.  One hopes NONE of the Western powers accept Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.  It can be postulated that the Taliban will allow various terror groups to come back to Afghanistan and train, from Al Qaeda to other Islamic terror groups.   The thought that the Taliban will really try to take on ISIS-K is for those who are naïve to think that Biden was right to leave Afghanistan.  Thus it can be postulated that the West will face an increase in terror threats, the Islamic terror groups will have the US leaving Kabul as an example of them winning.  In fact Afghanistan was given to the TALIBAN by POTUS, a weak and feckless President. 

Afghan Women PROTEST at ALL MALE Taliban Government - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Dozens of women in Kabul and the north-eastern Afghan province of Badakhshan have protested against the formation of an all-male interim Taliban government to rule Afghanistan. "

Lets Get Real:

The West really has let down the women in Afghanistan, women will be banned from work and forced to stay at home, girls will not get an education, Western culture will be banned, the TV will have only Taliban PR.  One really hopes that the CIA, MI6, SAS, and US Special Forces ARE in Afghanistan to get Western citizens out and to help those that are putting up a resistance to the Taliban.  If YOU watch the 24/7 news networks they are back to covering for Biden, they can hardly say he is an idiot after they got him elected.  On the UK side we are back to domestic politics, thus Afghanistan will be filed as a lost cause, if worthy attempt to change Afghanistan, it failed in the end.

The Taliban have TOTAL CONTROL of Afghanistan - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.13pm post the following, " The Times' war correspondent Anthony Loyd has told the BBC that the final holdout against Taliban rule in the valley has effectively fallen.  "

Lets Get Real:

The West in the shape of the US and the UK must not accept the Taliban as the government in Afghanistan in till they allow all Western citizens to leave, and also allow Afghan allies who have the right to go to the West to leave Afghanistan.  Also that the Taliban allow women, girls to carry on with their education and to be allowed to work.  One hopes that MI6 and the CIA have agents in place to keep an eye on the Taliban, the Western news media will lose interest in Afghanistan as they do not have news teams there, it is to risky for the reporters.  Thus the News media will have to place their trust in local reporters to feed them stories as to what is going in Afghanistan. The answer to the problems in Afghanistan is NOT THE TALIBAN. 

Panjshir Valley Battle - Afghanistan/Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Fresh fighting has been reported in Afghanistan's Panjshir Valley, the final pocket of territory which remains out of the hands of the Taliban.  "

Lets Get Real:

One hopes rather than thinks that MI6 and the CIA have agents on the ground in the Panjshir Valley to make sure that the resistance to the Taliban put up a fight and keep them with enough weapons and ammunition to keep going in till the winter.  In the winter the waring factions do not fight, its a hard winter in the Mountains of Afghanistan.  One can postulate that the CIA has request that they be allowed to support the Resistance, of course that depends of President Biden, with his action over the few weeks, one is NOT HOPEFULL, Biden does not understand national security and never will.  Anything that keeps the Taliban on edge is good, the West could increase support to the level that keeps the Taliban on their word when it comes to not supporting terrorists such as Al Qaeda or Daesh or the spin off ISIS-K.  As to the civil rights of women, this blog does not hold out much hope, the TALIBAN are EVIL, and their word cannot be trusted, they have already killed a folk singer and are doing house to house searches in search of those the worked with the Western Allies,  they have closed down music stations and broken up musical instruments, they have not changed.

President Biden on the ENDIGN of the AFGHAN War - Biden Era

The White House: Speech by President Biden on the ending of the Afghan War.

Lets Get Real:

POTUS just abdicated as the LEADER of the West. Worse he thinks he is right!  God help it if your an ally of the US, America's word can not be trusted with Biden in the Oval Office.  One hopes Democrats and Republicans condemn this speech, Truman, Kennedy, Reagan will be turning in their graves, this is Biden's surrender and appeasement speech, has he learned nothing from Neville Chamberlain and Trump.   

120,000 Thousand People saved in Kabul Air Rescue - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.56pm post the following, " Joe Biden confirmed on Monday that the US has helped 120,000 people flee Taliban rule in Afghanistan. "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Administration and Democrats will try to create the impression that this was Biden's Dunkirk moment, that the US saved over a hundred thousand Afghans from the terror of the Taliban.  The problem is that Biden created his mess, the European Allies begged him to change the end date of the 31st of August, he would not move, the end date was a Biden's idea for the American voters, in that moment, 13 US Soldiers were killed and over a hundred and seventy Afghans were killed by a bomber.  Even then Biden would not move, Robert Gates was right about him, he has not learned been right about foreign policy in forty years and Ronald Reagan called him a demagogue in his diaries.   This day is an humiliation for the US, after the 20 years, the TALIBAN are back in power, and have the American equipment left by the US.  Also ISIS-K has become a THREAT and the Al Qaeda will be reborn, Biden has a lot to answer for in the 2024 Presidential Election. 

NATO Chief on Afghanistan - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.59pm post the following, " It is “essential” to keep Kabul’s airport open and operational to ensure that people who still wish to leave can do so, Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said.  "

Lets Get Real:

It is important that the Allies keep their word and get Afghan Allies out of Afghanistan.  Thus one assumes the US and the UK have had discreet talks with the Taliban, the agenda would be simple, allow US/UK Citizens to leave and also allow Afghan Allies of the US/UK to leave, and any one who wants to leave the Afghanistan controlled by the Taliban.  What can the WEST offer to the TALIBAN, the frozen assets of the previous Afghan Government and humanitarian aid to the people of Afghanistan.  If the Taliban Terror group does not do as asked, they get NOTHING, I mean NOTHING.  One can see if a terrorist group can form a stable government and allow for the Western demands, also that girls and women be allowed to have civil rights, that will be harder, as with most things there are factions, the hard core Taliban supporters will want strict Islamic law, thus banning of women outside the home, it will be interesting to see if the Taliban 2.0 comes out on top or Taliban 1.0 shows it face, a bunch of religious terrorists who do not deserve to breath. 

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. 

Biden's TRUSTS Taliban to allow Americans to leave after 31st Deadline - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 10.55pm post, " Biden: 'US may have given Taliban lists of names'....A Politico report from today quoted a US defence official as saying the US effectively provided a "kill list" of Afghans who had previously worked with the Americans. "

Let Gets Real:

POTUS thinks that the TALIBAN will allow Americans to leave Afghanistan after the 31st, how out of it do you have to be, the TALIBAN read history, they would know that  they have to just keep a few hostages, let's say 52 to make the 24/7 news cycle every day.   The Taliban might have the same interest as Biden in the Americans and their allies getting out, but with the threat form ISIS-K they might have to show their true face, thus they will not care about financial pressure from the West, most of the foot terrorists can not even read.  Also there are different sections of the Taliban, those that have been having talks with the US might have gotten used to nice hotels and being in meeting with the West and the UN.  While the foot terrorists might want to take Afghanistan back to the stone age, thus a thousand US hostages might look good.  They will KNOW that Biden will never send in the military back in to Afghanistan, also Afghanistan is a big place to hide hostages, the Taliban might demand the unlocking of frozen Afghanistan assets a price to release some of the hostages, this could go on for years, just ask Jimmy Carter about Iran.  Also if Biden is to quote the bible, I will watch TV's West Wing, that President does it better and with more conviction.  Also Biden was very low energy, can he really handle a crisis.  At the least the UK will be out in a few days, our soldiers have to be on guard.  Our thoughts are with the families of those 12 US servicemen who were killed by the ISIS-K terrorist and those innocent Afghans killed or injured by the terrorist attack.
