(Mar. 9, 2023) — At a hearing this week before the House Foreign Affairs Committee – thankfully now in control of the GOP instead of the malevolent Democrats who headed it up under Nancy Pelosi – Marine Sergeant Tyler Vargas-Andrews recounted what happened at the Hamid Karzai International Airport on August 26, 2021.
Long story short: because he was denied permission from his commanders to “neutralize” what undoubtedly was the suicide bomber hyena who, on the journey to his 72 virgins, killed thirteen U.S. service members and hundreds of Afghan civilians desperately trying to flee the country following Brandon’s treasonous decision to abandon and chaotically flee from Afghanistan, our woke-infused military “leaders” facilitated the entirely avoidable tragedy.
Vargas-Andrews emotionally described how he tried to get permission to deploy the “M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System” to take out the suicide bomber before he detonated his explosives. The response he initially got, when interdiction time was still available: “Do not engage.” Repeated requests for authority went unanswered. Then the detonation took place.
Faithful P&E readers and anyone else reading this post: think about that. Because the military commanders refused to allow the elimination of the threat, thirteen American soldiers were allowed to die that day at the Kabul Airport.
Essentially the same mindset prevailed on September 11-12, 2012 at Benghazi, Libya, when military aid to Ambassador Christopher Stevens, along with communications and security personnel Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, was denied with a “stand down” order. Stevens, Smith, Woods and Doherty all died, and no one has been held accountable, from Barack Obama to Hillary Clinton and on down the food chain.
And do not forget Clinton’s frigid testimony at the January 23, 2013 Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Benghazi. Clinton’s response to Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson’s questioning as to why four Americans were killed in the attack gives new meaning to the terms “callous” and “uncaring”: “With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they’d go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?” (Emphasis added)
Really? And this Bleach-Bitting zombie was the person the Democrats preferred to Donald Trump? Seriously? The Benghazi disaster and the entirely avoidable calamity at the Kabul Airport are but two examples out of thousands of the failures by the malevolent and mendacious capos of the Democrat cabal purporting to “save democracy” from the evil GOP. Get… a… grip.
However, recall that these “leaders” did not ascend to their positions of power and control alone. Instead, they were “elected” there by tens of millions of registered Democrats, either by legitimate voting procedures or – shockingly – illegitimate means such as fraudulent mail-in ballots and improperly harvested ballots from cemeteries and nursing homes.
If the Republic as we have known it prior to the “fundamental change” initiated by Barack Hussein (“I-was-born-in-Hawai’i-so-of-course-I’m-a-natural-born-citizen”) Obama is to survive, it should never again allow a Democrat politician within two parsecs of an elective office. That includes Brandon and his cackling vice-president on down to the local dog catcher. Full stop.
And as for accountability for the outrages and damages that have been imposed on the country under Democrats, the one-time surcharge proposed here should not be dismissed without serious consideration. But instead of a one-third calculation, the amount should be increased to one-half.
Think of it as partial “reparations” for the catastrophes inflicted on the Nation by the Democrats. And as Brandon would say: “Not joking; not hyperbole.”
