U.S. officials provided Taliban with names of Americans, Afghan allies to evacuate
“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” said one defense official.
The decision to provide specific names to the Taliban, which has a history of brutally murdering Afghans who collaborated with the U.S. and other coalition forces during the conflict, has angered lawmakers and military officials.

U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport, a choice that’s prompted outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.
The move, detailed to POLITICO by three U.S. and congressional officials, was designed to expedite the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan as chaos erupted in Afghanistan’s capital city last week after the Taliban seized control of the country. It also came as the Biden administration has been relying on the Taliban for security outside the airport.
Since the fall of Kabul in mid-August, nearly 100,000 people have been evacuated, most of whom had to pass through the Taliban’s many checkpoints. But the decision to provide specific names to the Taliban, which has a history of brutally murdering Afghans who collaborated with the U.S. and other coalition forces during the conflict, has angered lawmakers and military officials.
“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” said one defense official, who like others spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic. “It’s just appalling and shocking and makes you feel unclean.”

The entire charade is planned by the CIA, Obama, Biden admin. Obama said he wanted to “cut America down to size”. He wasn’t removed, and Biden won’t be removed. Trump has the opportunity to stop this evil takeover, but he wasn’t up to the task. He was the American katechin. But he proved he was all talk.
Now we are in the hands of evil. Only a miracle will save us.
Those who love America are vast beyond counting. We are waking up. We see what they did, now. We are pissed, but also sad st the great loss already inflicted on us. We love our country. We want her back. And we will have our vengeance on those who took her and harmed her.
This man speaks for me. It ranks among the great patriotic statements ever made:

Fired within hours by the vile cretins above him in the chain of command.
There is a parallel, here, with the Catholic Church, for those with eyes to see.
