Funny how the CYA is in FULL force today…
This Lead Inspector General (Lead IG) report on Operation Freedom’s Sentinel (OFS) summarizes historical oversight activities from April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021, and provides background about events leading up to recent, significant and fast moving developments in Afghanistan. Future Lead IG quarterly reports will further highlight these and other developments in Afghanistan.
Complete report HERE, .pdf at the bottom of the page.
Note that it was released publically yesterday… Strange, that…
And in other news, now we know where those 5 Taliban that Obummer traded for Bergdahl went… They showed up in Kabul as the ‘leaders’ of the Taliban, and apparently one of them was the ‘negotiator’ that US officials were speaking with in Switzerland!
This is just getting weirder and weirder… It’s almost to the point that I’m beginning to wonder if this was malicious incompetence on the administration, State, and DOD’s part!
Oh, and last but not least, apparently DOD has absolutely NO idea how much ‘stuff’ the Taliban now has in the way of weapons, technology, etc! Unfrikkenbelievable!!!
And Baghdad Bob Kirby had this exchange on getting the US people out-
“From a military perspective our focus is at the airport,” Kirby said. “Right now though I don’t want to set the expectation that we are equipped and able to go out into the countryside and physically move people into Kabul. Our focus right now, the troops that we have there, are at the airport. The idea is that we can get the air operations, not only have they resumed, but to keep them in place for as long as possible.”
Berman then pointed out the obvious: “If they can’t get to the airport what does it matter if you have the capabilities to get them out from the airport?”
Kirby had no answer for Berman—only acknowledging the security situation is “not ideal.”

“I’m beginning to wonder if this was malicious incompetence on the administration, State, and DOD’s part!”
Always assume that the Department of State is the mortal enemy of the USA and the American people, and the things that they do become more understandable. The same goes double for BHO.
the Department of State is an immoral cesspool advocating for the promulgation of more moral cesspool abroad.
It has been since the love affair with the USSR back in the 1920’s. The department was going against the administration regarding the US military in Siberia.
Place needs to be nuked and the ground salted. After locking all the career bureaucrats in it.
If they were horses, we’d shoot them.
It would be more surprising if it wasn’t malice.
What we have seen so far if Biden’s Major Screw Up (and I’ll putting that lightly)..Actually this is reminiscent of what happened in Saigon, Vietnam. And besides that, it shows, and proves the dishonestly and the lack of accountability on Joe Biden’s part. And no one should really be surprised, as this is exactly what displayed over his half century in public office.
So far “Fearless Joe’s” response has been exactly what I has thought it would be… “IT’S TRUMP’S FAULT!” although his Self-Centered speech started by his saying “I take all responsibility for this” , “and I stick by it” Well the Finger Pointed was not exactly his taking responsibility for this Epic Mess. Well maybe we should be happy that he didn’t tell us how “Racist” we are!
Anyway, now his pullout of the remaining 2500 US Troops and the tens of thousands of American workers who are there training the Afghan Forces seem to be stuck without a way out, and can’t even get to the Airport safely.
Joey is simply a maroon, he and his close friends decided this would be a perfect time to take a vacation, so he can be reached at his sanctuary of the Camp David Basement where he watches the news on TV. I guess on CNN.
You can bet that if this had happened under Donald Trump, he would have been IMPEACHED for incompetence by Fancy Nancy if she’s not in her High Tech Kitchen eating her Gourmet Ice-Cream.
For almost 50 years this Delusional, Stuttering Zombi was a Senator, and Vice President for 8 of those years focusing on his self-enrichment, as he clearly demonstrated by his dealings with his Son in the Ukraine .
Yes, yesterday he made a self-service speech mumbling about “THE BUCK Stops” with Him, as if he was Harry Truman. But that was clearly written for him by somebody else and reminiscent of Hillary’s Non-apology for the Benghazi .bagoggle
This “Man” is the most Incompetent, and the worst excuse for an American President that this Country has ever seen.
He is dangerous, corrupt, immoral, crooked, and irresponsible. He should be known as Saigon Joe, or the Kabul Killer. He screwed up this evacuation like he SCREWED UP the US Southern Border.
Hey, Joey it’s time to go, and take Camala with you, preferably out of this Country.
The withdrawal was to block the news of the voting debacle.
Off topic.
I’ve been catching up on my reading and have been reading a series of short stories in the “Phases of Mars” series.
Our host has a wonderful little story in the second book with my old submarine, the USS Michigan, in it.
Fun story and very enjoyable. Good to see a glimpse of how the other half works. Thanks.
It’s almost to the point that I’m beginning to wonder if this was malicious incompetence on the administration, State, and DOD’s part!
I’m not wondering…
It’s hard to tell the difference between stupid and evil when the stupid is so profoundly… well, stupid.
That being said, free states need to start taking steps while Leviathan staggers and stumbles.
All- Thanks for the comments, seems I’m NOT the only one wondering…
Gee, this is exactly what Gropy Joe has been saying he’d do to Afghanistan since, well, 2009 when he became VP to Barky the Lightbringer.
No. Seriously. He’s been saying we’d cut and run and just abandon the place.
As to the State Department, see my comment above. They have been the enemy of the American people since pretty much their inception.
I shat in Viet Nam while I was there.
That act improved the environment.
Having learned NOTHING by that experience I now wonder-
Knowing nature abhors a vacuum, and knowing the vacuum in Afghanistan will once again be filled with enemies planning on our demise; how long will it be before we have to go back and start all over again?
Someone start a pool.
Timing. This story is so big the American Mainstream Maggots (h/tBZ) can be excused from reporting on the Arizona election audit. The story has such legs they can ignore so to be released audits from other states.
Yaknowwww, seems to me there’s mid-term election coming up… so hit the Dems where it HURTS.
Uh huh. Printed it our earlier this morning and took it to my doctor’s appointment. I’m sure at least 20 points of my elevated blood pressure reading was in that report somewhere.
All- Yeah, it’s ugly. And that report is scathing, to put it mildly.
So what the hell are we to do? Who is going to take this and other State audits an actually DO SOMETHING with them? Are we just going to roll over and play dead for all these thieving ,treasonous, bastards? It is a good thing for me I guess, that I’m 83 and physically unable to grab a gun and go start cleaning house right here in this shitty little rotten to the core State of RI.
WHEN AND HOW are we ever going to be able to regain all that we have already lost, and whatever more the SOB’s Democrats have in store for us? I am truly and thoroughly pissed at the inaction of those People who CLAIM to be Republican and turn out to be RINO’s! If the states that lay claim to those TURNCOAT, TRAITORS, won’t or can’t vote them all out this time, then they get what they deserve! Problem is that S*** runs down hill and it will eventually envelope all the rest of us! Time for the real patriots to actually pick up a device of incurring demise among the traitors, i.e. hammers, sickles, knives, axes, bows and arrows, pointy sticks and start using them to rid ourselves of this blight on this country.
I’m glad my ancestors, Dad and Uncle are not around to witness the loss of EVERYTHING they fought for as members of the Greatest Generation!
I am a twenty year vet and it just tears the guts out of me to see this happening to this once great country. I really didn’t mind going on long deployments because I thought I was out there protecting and preserving this country for my kids and their progeny! Little did I know it was going to be destroyed from within by our seditious duly elected officials! Every single entity with the acronym names , has been compromised by the Communist Clique, for want of a more damming name!
MR TRUMP, WHERE ARE YOU? No once else seems to care about us as much as you do. Witness the Biden fiasco since the friggin idiot illegally stole the Office from you! HELP!
ERL, the most I can say is keep an eye out for the mid-term elections. I’d like to say the GOP could be better, but what I DO say is this: I call the GOP the “GO ALONG to GET ALONG with the Dems” party.
I will not send them any money.
Ev- I don’t have a good answer. I wish I did… sigh
Sam- It’s now the Uniparty… and we’re being thrown under the bus.
It’s almost as if someone wanted the Talis to win… leaving rich old Joe to choke on his ice cream cone. And it’s weird, didn’t we set up the ‘ban in the first place, and arm them? Just think of all the Blackhawks, Humvees, missiles, guns and ammo they have now. Surely there’s not a pattern…
Well, the intent is obvious now.
The intent to import a million afghan refugees fits with theuir plan to import millions of… “refugees.”
