They Knew: Leaked State Department Memo Warned Of Afghanistan Collapse

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...afghanistan-collapse

Around two dozen State Department officials at the US embassy in Kabul warned of a potential collapse following the Aug. 31 troop withdrawal deadline, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing a 'person familiar with the cable.'

Using a special 'dissent channel' within the State Department, the cable - sent to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and another top State Department official - warned of 'rapid territorial gains by the Taliban and the subsequent collapse of Afghan security forces,' and offered suggestions on how to speed up evacuation and mitigate the obvious crisis slated to ensue, two people told the WSJ.

In total, 23 US Embassy staffers - all Americans, signed the July 13 cable, which was given a rush status 'given the circumstances on the ground in Kabul.' In addition to Blinken, it was sent to the Director of Policy Planning, Salman Ahmad.

Blinken received the cable and reviewed it shortly afterwards according to the report.

The cable, dated July 13, also called for the State Department to use tougher language in describing the atrocities being committed by the Taliban, one of the people said.

The classified cable represents the clearest evidence yet that the administration had been warned by its own officials on the ground that the Taliban’s advance was imminent and Afghanistan’s military may be unable to stop it. -WSJ

According to the report, some 18,000 Afghans and their families who had applied for special US Immigrant Visas remained in Kabul in areas under Taliban control, while efforts to reach the airport have become increasingly difficult.

US intelligence officials have sparred with the White House over who was warning of what, and when. And as the Journal notes, the existence of this confidential State Department memo warning of impending doom adds a crucial piece to our knowledge of how this all went down.

In July, Biden confidently said the collapse of the Afghan government and a Taliban takeover was "highly unlikely," suggesting that the country's US-trained National Security Force could handle the threat.

Gen. Mark Milley, the 'woke' chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon, said that the rapid fall of Kabul was unanticipated - saying on Wednesday "There was nothing that I or anyone else saw that indicated a collapse of this army and this government in 11 days."

The signatories of the dissent channel cable urged the State Department to begin registering and collecting personal data in advance for all Afghans who qualify for Special Immigrant Visas, aimed at those who worked as translators or interpreters; locally employed embassy staff; and for those eligible for other U.S. refugee programs while there was still six weeks left before the withdrawal deadline.

It also urged the administration to begin evacuation flights no later than Aug. 1, the people said.

On July 14, a day after the cable was sent to the State Department, the White House announced Operation Allies Refuge to support the relocation of interested and eligible Afghan nationals and their immediate families who supported the U.S. government for the special immigrant visas. Evacuations didn’t kick into high gear until last week and have been complicated by the Taliban takeover of Kabul on Sunday. -WSJ

After the Taliban swept in and took Kabul over the weekend, the US evacuated its embassy staff from Kabul - some of whom were relocated to a makeshift location at the Hamid Karzai International Airport surrounded by US troops.

In the next few months /years when the story comes out, What’s the over/under on how many billions we gave the taliban to let Americans get to the airport unharmed ? I’m setting the line at 2.5B

I become more angry with each passing day and I beleve there are millions like me. This is a building political firestorm. The MSM can no longer conceal the incompetence. God knows what will come of it.

All I know is that this goat-fuck wouldn't have happened with President Trump running the show.
No way.

^^^ Yup.

Open Southern Boarder, turning over huge cache of military arms and Equipment to Terrorist, what could go wrong?

The potential ramifications boggles the mind.

How Biden and Trump caused Afghanistan catastrophe: Both presidents repeatedly ignored Pentagon warnings the Taliban would take over, botched negotiations and left Afghanistan's fate in the hands of troops who refused to fight

By ROB CRILLY, SENIOR U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

PUBLISHED: 13:14 EDT, 16 August 2021 | UPDATED: 15:14 EDT, 16 August 2021

President Biden's most senior advisers say there were stunned at the way taliban fighters were able to advance across Afghanistan while government forces melted away or simply laid down their arms.

Yet for years officials, generals and watchdogs warned that a peace deal with the Taliban was not to be trusted and that the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces were riddled with shortcomings, despite more than $80 billion of dollars in assistance.

Those warnings show how both President Biden and Trump, Democrat and Republican, believed what they wanted to believe in order bring home U.S. soldiers.

Trump’s former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who was fired last year after telling Trump that his military commanders were opposed to a drawdown, said both presidents were guilty of the same mistakes.

'The only way this conflict could have ended better was through a political agreement among Afghans that was conditions based, patient, and backed up by U.S. and allied militaries,' he tweeted on Sunday.

That verdict follows almost two years of signs that withdrawing without a full peace deal would leave the Kabul government at the mercy of the Taliban.

Sep. 7, 2019: Trump cancels secret Camp David meeting with the Taliban


After nine rounds of talks between US officials and Taliban representatives in Doha, the capital of the Gulf state of Qatar, President Trump dropped a Twitter bombshell.

'Unbeknownst to almost everyone, the major Taliban leaders and, separately, the President of Afghanistan, were going to secretly meet with me at Camp David on Sunday,' he wrote.

He said he changed his mind after the group claimed responsibility for an attack in Kabul that claimed the life of a U.S. soldier and 11 others.

The news triggered waves of concern that it illustrated how an America First president was prepared to forge ahead with withdrawing troops without the support of the government in Kabul.

CNN military analyst John Kirby, who would become Pentagon spokesman under Biden, said such a meeting would have given the Taliban 'a boost of political legitimacy that they don’t deserve at this stage in negotiations and would be a huge propaganda victory for them, not to mention a slap at the Afghan government and President Ghani.'

A former White House official said later: 'It was something many of us were very concerned about. Such terrible optics just before the 9/11 anniversary.'


Jan. 15, 2020: Inspector general reveals 'hubris and mendacity' of U.S. efforts in Afghanistan

If anyone knew the shortcomings of the Afghan national army and security forces it was John Sopko, the special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction.

In testimony to Congress, he said U.S. officials had lied to the public throughout the war by exaggerating progress and inflating statistics to fake the appearance of success. The whole thing reeked of 'mendacity and hubris,' he said.

He accused the Trump administration of classifying information to hide high rates of casualties and desertions.

'The Afghan military – and particularly the Afghan police – has been a hopeless nightmare and a disaster,' he told the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

'And part of it is because we rotate units through that aren't trained to do the work, and they're gone in six-to-nine months.

'I don't blame the military, but you can't bring in a Black Hawk pilot to train an Afghan policeman on how to do police work.'

His bleak testimony crystalized dozens of reports detailing how billions of dollars U.S. taxpayers money had been spent in Afghanistan - and the way it had been misused and abused.

In all he testified more than 50 times to Congress, setting out problems about everything from 'ghost' soldiers - appearing only on payrolls - to equipment left in depots with no one trained to use it.


Feb. 29, 2020: Trump negotiates deal with the Taliban setting U.S. withdrawal date for May 1, 2021

Negotiators in Doha reached an agreement after 18 months of stop-start talks. The U.S. committed to reducing forces from 13,000 to 8600 within four months, before completely withdrawing in a little over a year.

In return, the Taliban pledged to prevent terrorists using its soil, including a specific obligation to renounce al-Qaida.

The deal was meant to set the stage for a second peace deal, between the Taliban and the Kabul government. Kabul was unhappy with some aspects of the deal, including freeing 5000 Taliban prisoners amid fears they would simply return to the battlefield.

And the agreement was quickly criticized for relying on the word of a militant group that had continued its attacks on the Afghan government and which had previously lied about cutting ties to al-Qaida.

Critics said the Trump administration had believed what it needed to believe in order to bring home the troops.

Mike Morell, former CIA acting and deputy director, told the House Homeland Security Committee’s intelligence and counterterrorism panel: 'I believe that the Taliban, in its peace negotiations with the United States, have told us what we want to hear in order to encourage us to leave the country.'

* In May, the United Nations released a report saying that 'al-Qaida has been operating covertly in Afghanistan while still maintaining close relations with the Taliban.' It concluded the group was stronger than ever.


Nov. 17, 2020: Pentagon announces it will reduce troop levels to 2500 in Afghanistan

Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller announced that the U.S. will reduce troop levels in Afghanistan to 2500 by mid-January, as officials tried to press on with Trump's plan of bringing soldiers home in the final weeks of his presidency.

The move went against the advice of the top commander for the region Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie, the head of U.S. Central Command, who urged the drawdown be pushed back to the spring.

Senior military figures warned behind the scenes that bringing home troops would undermine the chances of progress in Kabul-Taliban peace talks if militant negotiators knew they could simply sit and wait for foreign troops to leave.

Critics said the Taliban had done nothing to suggest they were complying with the peace deal.

Rep. Mac Thornberry, ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, said: 'I believe that these additional reductions of American troops from terrorist areas are a mistake.'

Sen. Angus King, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, said: 'We entered into an agreement with the Taliban … that involved drawdowns in exchange for conditions that allowed that to take place. Those conditions have not been met.'


Feb 3. 2021: Afghan Study Group report warns against withdrawing 'irresponsibly'

With Trump's deadline looming, Biden ordered a review of Afghanistan policy.

His top defense officials argued that a counter-terrorism force should remain in the country. They said the Taliban was stronger than it had been in years and that al-Qaida had never gone away.

Biden's Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recommended to Biden that up to 4500 troops should stay in Afghanistan, according to the New York Times.

Then on Feb 3., a Congressionally appointed panel recommended that the Biden administration slow the U.S. withdrawal, delay the May exit deadline and instead put its diplomatic weight behind achieving a deal between the Taliban and the Kabul government.

The Afghan Study Group, which included Gen, Joseph Dunford, former top commander in the country and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff warned: 'withdrawing U.S. troops irresponsibly would likely lead to a new civil war in Afghanistan, inviting the reconstitution of anti-U.S. terrorist groups that could threaten our homeland and providing them with a narrative of victory against the world's most powerful country.'

Its authors also pointed out that earlier withdrawals had damaged America's credibility with allies. And they called for any reduction in U.S. troops to be tied to the Taliban meeting obligations under the Doha agreement.

'It’s not in anyone’s best interest right now for precipitous withdrawal from Afghanistan,' Dunford told the New York Times.

When Department of Defense spokesman John Kirby was asked about the report that day, he said he had not read it and no decisions had been taken.


March 2021: Military command makes last-ditch effort to talk Biden out of withdrawal

In March, Austin and Milley made one last push to persuade the president against bringing home the last 2500 U.S. troops.

According to the New York Times, they drew comparisons with the way the Iraqi military crumbled in 2014 in the face of the Islamic State after U.S. combat troops left the country.

They reminded him of how President Obama was forced to send back American soldiers.

'We’ve seen this movie before,' Austin told Biden, according to officials familiar with the meetings.

Milley in particular was said to have become emotional during meetings with White House officials, describing how women’s rights would 'go back to the Stone Age,' according to Vox.

But he and Austin were unable to answer the question that the president kept asking: If now was not the right time for the Afghan government to stand on its own against the Taliban - after 20 years or training, money and equipment - when would be the right time?

Biden had made up his mind.


April 14, 2021: Biden announces withdrawal will be completed by Sept. 11

Despite the warnings, Biden announced the complete withdrawal of forces by the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Mindful of international concerns he also promised that it would be conducted in orderly fashion.

'We will not conduct a hasty rush to the exit. We’ll do it — we’ll do it responsibly, deliberately, and safely,' he said.

Biden explained his decision in terms of the success of hunting down Osama bin Laden and questioning whether staying in Afghanistan would do anything to make the world safer, given how threats had spread around the world.

'We went to Afghanistan because of a horrific attack that happened 20 years ago,' he said. 'That cannot explain why we should remain there in 2021.'

And he made clear that he believed delaying the departure in the hopes of a better outcome was a fool's errand.

'We cannot continue the cycle of extending or expanding our military presence in Afghanistan, hoping to create ideal conditions for, and expecting a different result,' he said.

Publicly, President Ashraf Ghani of Afghanistan said he respected the decision. In private, he expressed fury, telling confidants it would embolden the Taliban, encouraging them to ignore peace talks.

Regional experts expressed amazement that Biden had tied the withdrawal to the anniversary of 9/11.

Lisa Curtis, a top Trump National Security Official, said it was 'ill-advised.'

'The Taliban have already painted the U.S. withdrawal as a victory for jihadism and by having the end date be 9/11 it only fuelled that narrative of a victory for global jihadism,' she said later.


July 2: The U.S. evacuates Bagram Airfield in the middle of the night

The manner of the US departure from Bagram Airfield, the main hub of America's 20-year war in Afghanistan, offered a clue to the nature of the disaster to come.

U.S. forces slipped away in the dead of night, shutting off the electricity and failing to notify the base's new Afghan commander.

'We (heard) some rumor that the Americans had left Bagram ... and finally by seven o’clock in the morning, we understood that it was confirmed that they had already left Bagram,' Gen. Mir Asadullah Kohistani, Bagram’s new commander, told the Associated Press.

Leaving Bagram effectively signaled that America's war was over. The nature of the departure was a bitter blow for the Afghan forces pondering how they would fare without their mightiest ally.

'In one night, they lost all the goodwill of 20 years by leaving the way they did, in the night, without telling the Afghan soldiers who were outside patrolling the area,' said Afghan soldier Naematullah.

Already there were signs that the 350,000 troops of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces were struggling

A U.S. intelligence assessment, reported by the Wall Street Journal, said Kabul could collapse as quickly as six months after American forces left. It replaced a previous estimate that the government could survive for as long as two years.


Aug. 13: Pentagon insists Kabul is not under imminent threat

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Kabul was not in an 'imminent threat environment' even as the Taliban closed to within 50 miles of the capital.

Reports of government troops melting away in the face of the Taliban advance and elders negotiating the peaceful handover of cities and towns, did nothing to stop the Biden administration telling Afghan leaders to stand and fight.

'They have an air force, a capable air force,' giving them an advantage over the Taliban, said Kirby. 'They have modern equipment. They have the benefit of the training that we have provided for the last 20 years.

'It’s time now to use those advantages.'

Critics said Washington was guilty of believing its own wishful thinking. Days earlier, the Congress-appointed watchdog for Afghan reconstruction said the Afghan government faced an 'existential crisis' as U.S. troops left, and spelled out the weaknesses of its armed forces.

The Afghan air force, thought to be one of the government's last remaining advantages over the Taliban was badly overstretched, said Sopko in another of his reports that laid bare what he said was a culture of 'overoptimism' among U.S. commanders and political leaders.

'We had this, but both presidents abandoned the process and stuck to an arbitrary timeline.'

Two days after Kirby's assessment that the capital was not at imminent risk, the Afghan president had flown out of the country and the Taliban had all but taken Kabul.

Biden State Department ends a crisis response plan designed to avoid Benghazi-style evacuations months before the Afghanistan evacuation crisis.

-------------------

Biden’s State Dept Halted A Trump-Era ‘Crisis Response’ Plan Aimed At Avoiding Benghazi-Style Evacuations Just MONTHS Before Taliban Takeover.

AUGUST 18, 2021

RAHEEM J. KASSAM

Joe Biden’s State Department moved to cancel a critical State Department program aimed at providing swift and safe evacuations of Americans out of crisis zones just months prior to the fall of Kabul, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal.

The “Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau” – which was designed to handle medical, diplomatic, and logistical support concerning Americans overseas was paused by Antony Blinken’s State Department earlier this year. Notification was officially signed just months before the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan.

“SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED,” an official State Department document from the Biden State Department begins, before outlining the following move the quash the Trump-era funding for the new bureau.

The document is from the desk of Deputy Secretary of State Brian P. McKeon, confirmed in March by the United States Senate.

The document is dated June 11, 2021, though The National Pulse understands the decision to pause the program may have come as early as February, both undermining the original Trump-era date for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, and certainly giving the Taliban time to threaten American assets and lives on the run up to Joe Biden’s September 11th date of withdrawal.

The subject line reads: “(SBU) Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau,” and the body of the document recommends:

“That you direct the discontinuation of the establishment, and termination of, the Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau (CCR), and direct a further review of certain associated Department requirements and capabilities.”

It goes on:

“That you direct the discontinuation of the establishment, and termination of, CCR, consistent with the applicable legal requirements, necessary stakeholder engagement, and any applicable changes to the Foreign Affairs Manual and other requirements.”

The document reveals the recommendations were approved on June 11th 2021.

Speaking exclusively to The National Pulse, former President Donald J. Trump blasted Biden’s irresponsible move:

“My Administration prioritized keeping Americans safe, Biden leaves them behind. Canceling this successful Trump Administration program before the withdrawal that would have helped tens of thousands Americans reach home is beyond disgraceful. Our withdrawal was conditions-based and perfect, it would have been flawlessly executed and nobody would have even known we left. The Biden execution and withdrawal is perhaps the greatest embarrassment to our Country in History, both as a military and humanitarian operation.”

In a lengthy article in Vanity Fair from May 2021, the Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau (CCR) – also referred to in overlap with a predecessor/partner bureau called “OpMed” is described as a “little-known team of medics and miracle workers—hidden deep within the U.S. Department of State.”

Even before COVID reared its head, OpMed was finding ways to do all sorts of things, serving as the hidden hand behind daring and often dangerous operations to rescue Americans from peril abroad,” the article states, before going on to quote Secretary of State Tony Blinken on the importance of the program’s goals. “The Bureau of Medical Services’ Directorate of Operation—or ‘OpMed,’ as we call it—is a lifeline for the Department of State and the American people… Though perhaps lesser known outside of the Department, it’s vital to our operations. That’s because OpMed provides the platform and personnel to save American lives around the world, especially in times of crisis. During the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic, OpMed was integral to our evacuation and repatriation of 100,000 Americans to the United States as countries began locking down their borders.”

But The National Pulse understands that career officials inside the State Department objected to the Trump-era aim of creating a Contingency and Crisis Response bureau with the express purpose of avoiding a future Benghazi-style situation for Americans overseas.

Instead, Biden’s team revoked the funding and the approval for the plan, even as the COVID-19 crisis reasserted itself, and and Afghanistan withdrawal loomed.

Vanity Fair reported in May:

“OpMed emerged from the ashes of Benghazi, where, on September 11, 2012, militants attacked the U.S. consulate, killing America’s ambassador to Libya, an information management officer, and two CIA contractors. The day’s events rocked the national security establishment and prompted years of recrimination, congressional hearings, and blue-ribbon commissions. When the dust more or less settled, several findings emerged: First, Pentagon officials had long warned their counterparts at the State Department about the “tyranny of distance” in Libya and other parts of North Africa. Second, CIA medics on the scene in Benghazi played an indispensable role in saving the lives of gravely wounded diplomatic security personnel. Finally, an interagency panel of experts concluded that, in light of the “grossly inadequate” response time to evacuate the injured from Benghazi, “State must ensure it has the capability to rapidly deploy crisis responders and evacuate […] personnel in harm’s way.” “Responsibility for internalizing these lessons and bolstering the department’s ability to treat its own fell in no small part to William Walters, who had joined State in December 2011 in what for nine months had largely been a role in search of a mission: managing director of operational medicine. He had served with the Army’s most elite special operations unit and held the euphemistic title of deputy command surgeon for sensitive activities at the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). “They wanted a guy who understood the Pentagon but could also wear cuff links,” he said with a laugh, recalling the clash of cultures. And yet Doc Walters, as he is known in the corridors of Foggy Bottom, quickly emerged as a contrarian (in a department that values consensus) and an egalitarian (in an organization that’s been a bastion of elitism since 1789).”

A 2022 State Department Budget Justification document presented to the U.S. Congress earlier this year notes on page 22: “The Department has paused implementation of Op Med (CCR) pending a policy review.”

On August 15th, Biden’s State Department was forced to issue a humiliating statement warning U.S. citizens that the Embassy in Kabul would be unresponsive to their requests for help.

At the time of publication, Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said the U.S. military is attempting to move 5,000 to 9,000 people to safety per day, according to the Associated Press.

The news flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claims that his government planned for “every contingency” in the war-torn country.

The National Pulse also understands no Congressional notification was sent to the United States Congress, as is required, upon the pause.

WASHINGTON — For months, the Biden administration was stockpiling military equipment for the Taliban before the collapse of the Afghan government. The report comes from Reuters who shares that well over a month before the Taliban’s march across the country, the Biden administration was sending military equipment to Afghanistan amid a “planned withdrawal.”

The plans of the Biden administration were not very well thought out or executed. But perhaps this was the plan all along.

According to Reuters, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters, “They’ll continue to see a steady drumbeat of that kind of support, going forward.”

The Biden administration had continued to ship new firearms, drones, communication gear, and more to the nation that they had plans to abandon in just a few short weeks. Even as the Taliban takeover continued, the shipments continued. The Taliban has bragged about the equipment they obtained, with videos of helicopters and firearms posted online.

According to one official, reported by Reuters, “the current intelligence assessment was that the Taliban are believed to control more than 2,000 armored vehicles, including U.S. Humvees, and up to 40 aircraft potentially including UH-60 Black Hawks, scout attack helicopters, and ScanEagle military drones.” That’s not just a few pieces of military equipment, that’s essentially a start-up kit for a defense force.

Reuters reports that the Biden administration is very concerned about the large amount of equipment that was left behind. According to reports, the administration has contemplated airstrikes to take out large pieces of equipment, but it has yet to put together a plan.

Officials report they are less concerned about the equipment because it is technologically advanced. They state it takes significant maintenance time and training to operate. Perhaps that was before China and Russia both have claimed their interest in Afghanistan.

Both nations will be racing to make friends with the Taliban. They refuse to call the Taliban terrorists and have technology similar to that of the United States. It is possible that they provide the training necessary to the Taliban regime.

While the Biden administration will claim that the equipment left behind was not stockpiled for the Taliban, what other explanation is there? As the Taliban raced across the country, taking it down in just over 1 week, the administration did nothing to stop them. They did not create a plan to evacuate Americans, the military, military equipment, or anything else. It’s as if the Biden administration was asleep.

Kackling Kamala has been awfully quiet the past few days, usually hovering over Biden at every turn but nowhere to be seen now.

She’s trying to distance herself from the Potato In Chief as he implodes, it’s very obvious.
