At a press conference, Biden falsely claimed that Al Qaeda was no longer operating in Afghanistan. “I said al Qaeda would not be there. I said it wouldn’t be there. I said we’d get help from the Taliban. What’s happening now? What’s going on? Read your press. I was right.”
In reality, Al Qaeda is operating training camps in six provinces, including Helmand, which hundreds of Marines had been killed and wounded trying to secure during Obama’s surge. The 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment lost 25 marines, including the son of former Chief of Staff John Kelly, and suffered 34 amputations. 378 Marines were killed and 5,000 were wounded.
Al Qaeda also has safe houses across Afghanistan including in Kabul.
The Taliban have appointed Al Qaeda leaders to key positions including as governors of entire provinces. Nuristan, where 53 American soldiers held off hundreds of Jihadis during the assault on Combat Outpost Keating, resulting in the awarding of two Medals of Honor and nine Silver Stars for the second deadliest battle of the war, is now under Al Qaeda governance.
Biden’s denial of Al Qaeda’s extensive presence came just after a UN Security Council report documented the fact that “Al-Qaeda members have received appointments and advisory roles in the Taliban security and administrative structures” and that the Islamic terror group “is rebuilding operational capability.”
The Taliban, which had denied the report, immediately jumped on Biden’s denial as an endorsement. The Taliban’s Foreign Affairs Ministry claimed that Biden’s denial “refutes the recent report by UN Sanctions Monitoring Team alleging the presence and operation of over twenty armed groups in Afghanistan.”
It’s obvious why the Taliban are lying about harboring Al Qaeda. But why is Biden lying?
Biden’s chosen method of withdrawing from Afghanistan was a massive disaster. The rise of Al Qaeda makes it look even worse. But how much of that disaster was really an error? Since the withdrawal, the Biden administration has found numerous ways to move money to the Jihadists.
The Biden administration made the decision to turn over Kabul to Al Qaeda’s old allies in the Haqqani Network resulting in thousands of Americans being trapped behind enemy lines. It then spent millions paying Osama bin Laden’s old airline to fly Americans out of Afghanistan. Over $1 billion in “humanitarian aid” has been sent to Afghanistan while issuing global licenses authorizing financial transactions with the Taliban and the Al Qaeda allied Haqqani Network.
Biden seized $3.5 billion meant for 9/11 victims and diverted it to a ‘trust fund’ for Afghanistan. Last year, the Biden administration even arranged to have banknotes printed for the Taliban and photos were displayed of pallets of millions in hundred dollar bills flown into Kabul Airport.
The State Department has responded to questions about whether its aid is funding Islamic terrorists by stonewalling the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction’s office (SIGAR) and ordering government employees to “not engage with or speak to SIGAR without prior clearance from State legal counsel”. Congress has been similarly illegally stonewalled.
While all of this has been going on, Biden has been freeing Gitmo terrorists who were considered too dangerous to be released even under the Obama administration. They include an alternate 9/11 hijacker, Osama bin Laden’s bodyguards and a terrorist who had surveyed Camp Lemonnier, where the Marines are stationed in Djibouti, for a potential truck bomb attack.
Also freed were the 20th September 11 hijacker, an Al Qaeda ally who plotted to smuggle nukes into America and a terrorist behind the bombing of a Marriott hotel who had proposed “a plot to simultaneously explode gas tanks at multiple gas stations in the United States.” The Biden administration even tried to spare Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the 9/11 mastermind, the death penalty.
And it’s not just Al Qaeda terrorists in Gitmo that the Biden administration is going easy on.
The administration is also locking down drone strike rules so that the military will have to get “advance permission” from Biden before hitting Al Qaeda and ISIS terrorists outside “conventional war zones” and must have “near certainty” that no civilians will be injured.
Drone strikes on terrorists will only be allowed when it appears infeasible to send in a commando team to capture the terrorist so he can be put on trial and then released.
These are similar to the disastrous rules that the Clinton administration used to keep the CIA from taking out Osama bin Laden. Under Clinton rules, the CIA was not allowed to engage in any activity that would kill Bin Laden. A “Justice Department ruling that it would be illegal for the United States to intentionally kill bin Laden” led the CIA Station Chief in Islamabad, Pakistan to warn agents that they could go to jail if they succeeded in taking out the terrorist leader.
The Trump administration had loosened drone strike rules allowing terrorists to be taken out without requiring that they be ranked as an “imminent threat”. The onerous rules of engagement from the Obama era were rolled back and the decision loop made it possible to take rapid action. The Biden administration is restoring a status quo in which terrorists have less to worry about and in which they know our rules and our restrictions and how to evade an attack.
Taken together, Biden has been the best thing to happen to Al Qaeda. Even more than Obama.
Al Qaeda now has extensive infrastructure in Afghanistan again, its terrorists are leaving Gitmo and are being protected from drone strikes. A massive flow of foreign aid into Afghanistan along with global licenses for doing business with allies of the terrorist group is likely to fill its coffers.
And Biden is even supporting the Taliban cover-up that Al Qaeda isn’t in Afghanistan.
Even while Al Qaeda and the Taliban remain tightly integrated, Biden is claiming that the Taliban are helping America against Al Qaeda, even while claiming that Al Qaeda isn’t in Afghanistan. But these aren’t even new lies. Biden has been falsely claiming that Al Qaeda had been destroyed for years. Even as he keeps repeating these lies, Al Qaeda keeps growing.
Biden didn’t just turn over Afghanistan to the Taliban, he turned it over to Al Qaeda. And he’s turning over Al Qaeda terrorists and money to the terrorist infrastructure to help it rebuild.
This isn’t a policy, this is treason.
Biden is the real Traitor so is Soros and Bragg they all should get life without parole and No Pardons
I thought ceauscescu(?) was hanged with his wife, like Mussolini?
Stronzo traitor!
C’mon man, you call me a liar! I know people, plenty of people, watch your back man.
Next you will be telling me that you are a good Catholic & a man of God so I can’t lie to you so I must always
speak the Truth like Pope Franky does !!
Um, dad.
I know now’s not a good time after forgetting about that dime-bag, but aren’t we supposed to be getting checks FROM them?
China sends us checks, so the mullahs should also have to pay for your services. (I have plenty of paintings ready “for sale”.)
Remember when Obama declared during the run-up to 2012 that “al Qaeda is dead and GM is alive?”
Good times.
Biden has endangered our national security in many ways but this ranks as the worst such case
Close.
The sleaze-bag handing Bagram Airbase over to the Taliban will have us screwed for a generation.
It’s strategic importance cannot be overstated as it helped us be a check at the Chinese border.
The damage of abandoning Afghanistan confirmed to any future allies to be wary & to our enemies to be patient – sooner or later a democrat will be president.
We, under leftist treason, have abandoned our allies twice (Siagon in 1975; Kabul in 2021), telling any future allies not to bother, as we’ll eventually walk away.
Nice cartoon by Bosch 🙂
“The Taliban have appointed Al Qaeda leaders to key positions”, or otherwise get their heads cut off. There are over 100 moo slims in the Biden regime.
I do not understand why no one else in the media is reporting events in Afghanistan. I tend to accept that FPM tells me but would like to see some confirmation. I never thought that our response to 9/11 was over the top and always suspected that Obama was overly optimistic in his projections. We shall see.
Well, see, Joe is a sociopath. He lies about everything, big and small, important or not. And being controlled by the Left, his policies are also irrational and largely harmful to the U.S.
Look up the definition of Sociopath.
Joe’s a psychopath.
Of course- Obama has been running the show all along- as a devout Muslim- he will give them all the help and money they need to destroy US Biden and his entire administration are a freak show just to distract us from the true evil around us
Bi Dung just obeying his ccp masters. But please send out your trans battalions I’m sure they’ll sort all this out! /s
Correct. Buy folks have to stop saying “Biden” and refer to him as the “Puppet.”
He does nothing on his own…..all is controlled by his puppet masters.
“I said al Qaeda would not be there. I said it wouldn’t be there. I said we’d get help from the Taliban. What’s happening now? What’s going on? Read your press. I was right.” Biden’s blatant in-your-face lies are entirely enabled by a compliant press…which is why he said “Read your press.” The press is as much to blame for the sorry state of the economy, US being a laughing stock on the world stage, and the open corruption that goes on in the Federal government. They are all in it together. They are happy that the US is in decline.
Horrendous.
But how can the liars and traitors be stopped when complaining Americans are, however, not really scared and do not feel mortally threatened; they are disgusted, trying to adjust, reeling from disbelief, off-balance.
And all the elected Congress does is sit on committees, make laws to collect and spend other people’s money and not say the indisputable truths that Mr. Greenfield meticulously lays out for all to read article after article, day by day, week after week.
Consequently, it seems that fear, actual visceral fear, will have to be the great motivator for Americans and her leaders to stop the liars and traitors from killing America.
But the thing about fear is that, when you finally feel fear, it is most likely too late to act. America’s instinct to feel fear has obviously been numbed or totally de-activated, intentionally by the liars and traitors.
I think that feeling fear in America is opposite the very feeling of being an American. But Americans should be feeling fear, as if they are unwelcome aliens in their own land.
Traitors and enemies, domestic and foreign, are at the helm of our wonderful land; but our land doesn’t feel like our land, the Republic for which it stands, anymore.
I can assure you that if President Trump had pulled this traitorous activity during his term, he would have been impeached and been tried for treason.
Why isn’t biden being charged and impeached? The old man is a worthless individual that has no business sitting in the WH!
This further proves that Joe Biden is a treacherous treasonous scoundrel and that he is an affront to the Office of the Presidency of the United States and a disgrace to the US Constitution as well as a catastrophe for America and a calamity for the American people
Furthermore, to say that Biden and his administration are terrible is an understatement. For Biden and his crew are an abomination to everything that is wise, good .fair decent just and right. As he has proven by his appointments, orders policies and politics of are nothing but folly and madness if not outright treason.
Not so much a treasonous scoundrel as a useful tool who serves his masters well. Not elected so much as installed, so completely corrupt as to be easily managed, along with his family. We’re screwed…
Joe Biden doesn’t care about America or the American people. All Biden cares about is engaging in actions of policies to straighten that hostile and aggressive anti -America Islamic tyrannical regime of Iran.
Likewise Biden is also interested in going along with Red China’s Communist President, Xi Jinping to Make China Great Again” and degraded the United States.
“President” impostor Biden is a horrendously treasonous villain of the most heinous and despicable sort.
With this latest affront along all the all awful things done by Joe Biden, he is an extremely incompetent fool and outright idiot, or the second case is the he is a treacherous treasonous subversive scoundrel and an outright villain.
Under Donald Trump,a”Soldier”was more likely to cut himself Shaving than get wounded/Killed in Action!!!!
Joe Biden doesn’t care about America or the American people. All Biden cares about is engaging in actions of policies to straighten that hostile and aggressive anti -America Islamic tyrannical regime of the Talban and their jihadist brothers of al Qaeda.
Likewise Biden is also interested in going along with Red China’s Communist President, Xi Jinping to Make China Great Again” and degraded the United States.
“President” impostor Biden is a horrendously treasonous villain of the most heinous and despicable sort.
Biden is evil and all of his actions confirm his lies, thefts and betrayal. We can take
comfort in our Republican comities looking into all of the vile actions destroying
any semblance of sanity in government. What authority does Biden have to send
tax dollars taken from us and send it to villains all over the world? If Congress is
in charge of spending why do they allow us to be robbed by Biden. Americans are
having serious income problems and high cost of everything due to Biden. What
will the corrective action be to stop the theft of our money for evil activities, oh
yes sorry I tend to forget the Republican comities looking into the crimes, maybe
some day, kinda, sorta, we will have a Republican investigation into why we are
become a Communist slave state. American citizens along with our foundation
in the Constitution are betrayed. Our government is probably drunk on Bud light.
It only works as long as the dollar is the world’s reserve currency. If they lose confidence in the dollar all is lost.
DG – “The Biden administration even tried to spare Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the 9/11 mastermind, the death penalty.”
That’s it Joey Boy, spare the mass murderers and kill all the babies. What a guy!
The Luciferian Globalists of America have been aiding, funding and helping to spread satanic islam across the world… starting with 911…
America is NOT what we’ve been programmed to think it is…
The world is divided into two halves… those that serve Christ Jesus and those that serve satan…
satanic islam is satan’s Death Army… satan’s killing machine…
Biden needs to be ‘recycled’.
