Rand Paul left Antony Blinken in ruins today during the Senate hearing into the Afghanistan disaster. Senator Paul said, “never in my worst nightmares could I have imagined that an administration would leave, and leave $80 billion dollars worth of weaponry to the Taliban…and worst of all, 13 of our brave men and women…”
Blinken admitted they had about $80 billion in weaponry, night goggles, scanners, vehicles, and planes over 15-16 years but then tried to say it couldn’t be maintained.
The Chinese will certainly help them maintain it or the Russians or the Pakistanis or Iranians will.
At one point the senator from Kentucky asked about the family that was droned:
Dr. Paul: “The guy the Biden administration droned, was he an aid worker or an ISIS-K operative?”
Sec. Blinken: “I don’t know because we’re reviewing it.”
Dr. Paul: “You’d think you’d kind of know before you off somebody with a predator drone.”
Personally, I’d like to know where the US got the intel to drone the family in Kabul, seven of whom were children. From the Taliban? It’s hard to believe they had any way to get adequate intel. It was right after Biden said they’d find the people responsible and hold them accountable. They wanted to drone someone. The White House won’t even tell us who the two people were that we droned immediately before the family. Were they innocents too? Did we know who they were?
Blinken looked like he wanted to cry. If he had any self-respect, he’d resign immediately.
Watch:
Blinken did give manifests to Taliban allegedly in “a handful of cases.” Blinken claims every person whose name was given to the Taliban got through the checkpoint.
Why in this God’s earth would a US Secretary of State rely on the Taliban to get our people through checkpoints?
No one is asking about the hard drives with names, addresses, and biometric data of citizens, green card holders, and allies that were allegedly left behind in the embassy. The Taliban appears to be working from lists, using scanners.
Watch:
Blinken just admitted to handing the Taliban kill-lists with Americans on them “in limited instances”
When pressed by @tedcruz on the number of Americans put in danger in the process, Blinken scoffs and says “it doesn’t matter”
This is unbelievable. Watch. pic.twitter.com/ombMHJxbxc

Incompetence? This is not incompetence this is all done intentionally to create refugees and to hand Afcrapistan over to China so they get the valuable minerals like lithium which is going to increasingly become more and more valuable. All by design. When will so called conservative news start reporting that?
Blinken isn’t going anywhere. Nobody seems to comprehend that people do whatever they like on either side of the decency or the law when they’re allowed to continually act without consequences. The Democrats are emboldened because the Right simply refuses to defend America, the Constitution or our way of life.
There’s no doubt in my mind he Austin and Milly should all go. A Lance Cpl. could have come up with a better evacuation plan then these ivy league and West Point graduates.
Milley didn’t go to West Point, he went to Ultra Liberal Princeton.
None of the Circus is going to resign. Their only choice to stay out of jail is to keep stealing elections or declare Martial Law.
They get “good press” no matter what they do…kinda like a get out of jail free card..helps them win elections too as they bypass the news…
Nothing every happens because the spineless GOP never pushes the issue…..why do they lay down you ask, because they do it too! They`re afraid to go after any of their fellow political operatives because they may find themselves in the same jackpot at some point.
It was quite entertaining to see questioning in the manner of a lawyer, By a Doctor no less. It’s usually lawyers that trap a witness like that. All those members of Congress who are lawyers can only pontificate. I guess we know Why they are not practicing Law in civilian life.
