Defense Department Inspector General has released its long-awaited report on what the Biden Administration left behind in Afghanistan. It is an unbelievable list of equipment left to one of the most violent groups in the world with a history of supporting terrorist organizations. I opposed the long war in Afghanistan, so I was not among those critical of Trump or Biden in pushing to leave the conflict. However, no one has ever explained why the Biden Administration left this equipment in Afghanistan as opposed to removing it or destroying it.
While the collapse of the Afghan government was rapid in the final days, the government had many months to prepare for the scheduled withdrawal. Yet, it took no steps to remove or destroy this equipment. Instead, it elected to leave this arsenal intact to the Taliban.
The ground vehicle inventory alone was worth about $4.12 billion. In addition, the U.S. military lost $923.3 million worth of military aircraft and $294.6 million in aircraft munitions.
The Taliban was instantly made one of the best equipped militaries in the world due to this windfall gift by the Biden Administration.
While the report says that “some” of the aircraft were “demilitarized and rendered inoperable during the evacuation,” most of this equipment was left read to use, including 316,260 small arms, including sniper rifles, machine guns and grenade launchers that were worth $511.8 million.
I do not understand how this clear and unimaginable blunder has gone unaddressed. No one was fired. There is not even any evidence of discipline of any kind. The Biden Administration decided to give the Taliban billions in weapons rather than destroy them. Yet, there seems little more than a shrug and a yawn from Congress and the press.
When ATS intentionally writes something like this knowing it will be deleted: “Silliness by S. Meyer, referring to string of anonymous comments on this page.” I can’t tell what my response said so I will pick out an old one (re: J6) and see if he is able to point out any silliness. He can’t point out the silliness but everyone can see what a small man ATS is from his other postings.
We have listened to the leftist bloggers that have been wrong on almost every issue. They are swarming. We see them writing the same BS over and over again this morning as if some higher power has told them to swarm before the truth is permitted to come out?
What do they have?
1) Hearsay
2) Nothing criminal
3) A lot made up of thin air
In the end it will be like the Russia Hoax and Steele Dossier where they still refuse to apologize.
Why haven’t we heard about the 20,000 National Guard troops offered by Trump and refused by Pelosi?
Why haven’t we seen the documents showing the murder of Ashli Babbitt was justified when all over the nation there have been riots when criminals are shot or killed despite having weapons?
Why haven’t they investigated why the Capitol police let the Jan6 people in?
Why haven’t they explained the West Tunnel where people were let in and then tear gas was sprayed and police beat civilians.
Why haven’t they explained the death of Roseanne Boyland and why the police interfered with people trying to save her life?
Why did two other people nearly die in that tunnel but at least one was rescued by a Jan 6 who later was incarcerated, prevented from seeing his lawyer, moved from jail to jail and kept much of the time in solitary confinement? https://rumble.com/v17h6qx-the-truth-of-january-6th.html
Why were two other Jan 6 deaths listed as cardiac arrests when it was percussion weapons that killed at least one and that person wasn’t close to the Capitol building.
Why was only one person found not guilty by a judge when videos showed him being let into the Capitol by police. Why not the others that due to lack of effective counsel pled guilty to charges that are ridiculous?
Why haven’t the Capitol videos been released since they would show police letting Jan6 people in and also show them being peaceful.
Why hasn’t Pelosi released all her communications? Those communications can enlighten everyone as to her culpability in the Jan 6 event.
Why isn’t the press investigating all these things?
Is the lack of press investigation the same reason that the press went with successive stories?
It’s not proven to be Hunter’s laptop
It’s not shown that the laptop wasn’t altered.
It’s Russian disinformation
It doesn’t have to do with the President, even though we have audible messages from the President.
This is all a scam pushed by political despots that are liars who desire despotic power.
They are using lies, the media and the ideas created by the media that Trump isn’t a nice person. He is like all people, both good and bad.
It doesn’t matter if one likes Trump or thinks he is a jerk.
He dramatically improved the economy cutting down unemployment a couple of times faster than Obama whose recovery was abysmal.
He was sealing up the Southern Border that Biden said he was protecting. The number of illegal immigrants was quickly falling along with the amount of drugs crossing the border.
What has Biden provided?
1) Death of many immigrants. ~ 50 yesterday
2) 100,000 deaths from Fentanyl and other drugs that is rising because of the drugs crossing over the border. 150,000 Fentanyl pills found in a drug arrest. The criminals were let out of jail by Democrats.
3) Human trafficking and slavery
4) MS-13 endangering our cities
5) Millions of illegals overwhelming social services, hospitals, and schools
6) Human trafficking and slavery
7) Disease
6) Does anyone need to know more?
Democrats have nothing to offer except to hold one-sided hearings because they are afraid Jim Jordan might make them look like the fools they are.
The press will keep pushing crazy leftist talking points that are lies and destructive to the nation.
On this blog one has to wonder why the leftist bloggers this morning simultaneously started to pound the blog, almost as if they were told to hit hard with whatever they lies they have and as frequently as they could to drown out other voices.
What have they said? Nothing except the same type of hearsay they had when the Steele Dossier was pushed onto the American public to destroy a presidency providing economic relief and safety to its citizens.

Anonymous the Stupid maybe if I repeat this comment maybe it will mean more to you.
Get it straight Anonymous the Stupid, that you respond plenty but cannot do so to the essence of what is said. I’m not the only one saying this about you. I await for you to be able to respond intelligently. In the meantime, you can continue your quest to beat-up Karen over the obvious. You won’t. She is much more intelligent than you and understands the essence of any discussion.
Anonymous the Stupid, you can control your posts but not those of others who know that when they post under your name their post can disappear.

“Darren doesn’t delete his comments — like the three, below, posted anonymously. They show S. Meyer for what he is. They also demonstrate what a joke the moderation process is.”
ATS you keep complaining about Darren deleting your comments when you are the major source of such deletions. Doesn’t that sound like the typical Anonymous the Stupid complaint?
“Yes. This blog is his life.”
Anonymous the Stupid, you write and make sure your comment is deleted because you don’t want people to know the truth. Constantly you think others are bothered by a perception that they have no life. What you are proving is that you have no life. You are here full-time trying to deny your existence.
Maybe I post too much, maybe I should post more. I don’t know. I am satisfied with my surroundings that I worked hard for. You are not satisfied with your own.
You have said the above-quoted comment, how many times, and yet you delete every one of them. That tells us about you, not anyone else.
>I haven’t engaged with Karen; I haven’t posted any replies to her.
>>“It really pis-sed you off that you were beaten and look like a fool.” — S. Meyer (also Anonymous/ATS) @ 11:10 PM,
>Nope. Pure projection, on your part.

You made sure to use the address where automatically your response would be deleted, and it was. It shows you to be what you are, underhanded and spiteful.
You can lie about Karen if you wish. That is why you use the anonymous icon and name. Then when you are an idiot, you can blame another for your idiocy like you are doing here. You can’t stand that Karen beat you and made you look like a fool. She is a woman, but she is real while you are not. What are you? You are a chromosomal aberration not fit for discussion.
You are Anonymous the Stupid.
