Biden’s handlers are busy dismantling everything from the Trump era. We see the cost of that in Afghanistan now.
“EXC: Joe Biden’s State Dept Halted A Trump-Era ‘Crisis Response’ Plan Aimed At Avoiding Benghazi-Style Evacuations Just MONTHS Before Taliban Takeover,” by Raheem J. Kassam, National Pulse, August 18, 2021:
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.”…

“Gee, sorry your relative got taken hostage in Afghanistan, lady; but it was absolutely necessary to dump the previous administration’s evacuation plan, because…
… F*** Trump!”
Good to know they had a good reason! lol

Seems grimly accurate…

America is indeed drifting and the people in charge (Biden is only “pretend” in charge) are buffoons, among whom are Blinken, Astin and Milley (so-called “Doctor Jill” as well).
JOEYN says
Yes Biden is not the problem. The Left (includes China, the Democrat party, the MSM and RINOS) and Islamists are the problem. America should not lose focus and take back their country a.s.a.p

Yeah, this news was first broken by Rahim Kassam 2 days ago and disclosed on Eric Bolling’s Newsmax show ‘The Balance’. He discussed it more yesterday w/ Adam Kredo, senior writer of the Washington Free Beacon, who pointed out that Ned Price was lying when he claimed that the office in question was merely proposed, but didn’t actually exist, since Kredo had spoken to people in both the former and current administrations who worked w/ it, proving that it did exist
One more of ‘if Trump did it, it’s gotta go!’ credo of this administration
Spiro says
And this was an honest election
Yeah right
gravenimage says
Biden’s handlers scrapped Trump’s crisis response plan months before Taliban takeover
………………
This doesn’t surprise me in the least. Largely the reason the withdrawal has been such a disaster.
James Lincoln says
If Pres. Trump were rightfully returned to the Oval Office today, would he even be able to reverse the damage done by Biden/Harris since 20 January 2021?
And, if he could, how long would it take?
spiro says
I though that myself
The hatred for Trump is and has caused many lives
To be lost
Infidel says
He might get all the refugees out, and that’s about all that could be managed. I doubt that he’ll get back all the weaponry, and what’s worse, the Chicoms and the Russians will get to study and reverse-engineer them. And if the Taliban were to negotiate this right, they’d probably retain Bagram w/o it being bombed out
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
Thank you for your reply.
Getting the illegal “refugees” out would be huge, along with immediately reversing all of Sleepy Joe’s Executive Orders.
And you are correct about the weaponry. Way beyond stupid – it is criminal…
