Pentagon press secretary John Kirby confirmed Friday that thousands of Islamic State prisoners were freed after the United States handed over bases to the Afghan government.
Joe Dividen was 25 minutes late to his own press conference yesterday, responding to the attack by ISIS-K at the airport in Kabul that killed 12 US Marines, 1 Navy corpsmen, and around 170 American and Afghan civilians. He appeared confused, out of breath, and when he unceremoniously laid his head down on the podium in defeat, he sent a one word message to the world. Surrender.
"This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?" Isaiah 14:26,27 (KJB)
As you read this, 'President' Joe Dividen has made it possible not only for the Taliban to rise to power, for ISIS to make a comeback, but as thousands of Islamic state prisoners are being let out of prison, for Afghanistan to become the new terror capitol of the world. This is not happening because America is leaving Afghanistan, it is happening because we left Afghanistan in the worst possible way, as cowards sneaking out in the dead of night, and leaving our allies to fend for themselves. History will record this time period as the moment when America ceased to be.
Pentagon Confirms Thousands of Islamic State Prisoners Released by Taliban, The White House on Friday braced Americans for more terrorist attacks in Afghanistan, a day after twin suicide bombers killed 13 U.S. troops in Kabul.
FROM BREITBART NEWS: The freeing of thousands of Islamic State prisoners is under scrutiny after an Islamic State suicide attacker killed 13 American service members and a number of Afghan and other nations’ civilians at a gate at the Hamid Karzai International Airport on Thursday.
“I don’t know the exact number — clearly it’s in the thousands when you consider both prisons, because both of them were taken over by the Taliban and emptied,” Kirby said, speaking of prisons on Bagram Air Base and Kandahar Air Field that held ISIS prisoners.
He said the U.S. did not transfer the prisoners over to Guantanamo because the plan was to turn the prisons over to the Afghan National Security Forces:
That was part of the retrograde process, was to turn over these responsibilities. They did have responsibility for those prisons and the bases at which those prisons were located and as the Taliban advanced, we didn’t see the level of resistance by the Afghans to hold some territory or some bases and unfortunately, those were the bases the Afghans didn’t hold.
“Those responsibilities were turned over in accordance with the retrograde plan back in April,” he said.
April was when President Joe Biden ordered all U.S. troops to withdraw from Afghanistan by August 31. As the military continued its withdrawal, the Taliban began its offensive and succeeded in taking over the country in just 11 days by August 14.
After the rapid takeover by the Taliban, Biden ordered 6,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan and the region to evacuate American citizens, Afghans, and others out. The 13 service members killed Wednesday were part of that evacuation mission. Military officials say they are not sure if the Taliban — who the U.S. has been relying on to man checkpoints to the airport — allowed the ISIS bomber and additional attackers through. READ MORE
