Biden Knew the Taliban Could Move Quickly…Was Warned By State Dept. Officials in Kabul

Joe Biden and the Seven Dwarf Brains Have all used the same excuse for the fiasco in Afghanistan. They claimed that the swift takeover of the Taliban in Afghanistan came as a big surprise that no one could have anticipated. But previously, I wrote that the CIA had warned Biden this could happen.

Now, we learn that Stae Department officials in Kabul had also warned Anthony Blinken and Joe Biden that the Taliban would be ready for a quick takeover of Afghanistan.

In July, nearly two dozen State Department workers at the Kabul embassy sent a letter to Anthony Blinken and another State Department official that the Taliban was making great strides in taking control of great swaths of land.

Evidently, Blinken determined that he knew much better than the people on the ground, what was happening in Afghanistan.

Now, there are over 10,000 Americans the Biden administration plans on abandoning in the hellhole Biden has created.

Vivian Salama at The Wall Street Journal reported:

About two dozen State Department officials serving at the embassy in Kabul sent an internal memo to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and another top State Department official last month warning of the potential collapse of Kabul soon after the Aug. 31 troop withdrawal deadline, according to a U.S. official and a person familiar with the cable.

The cable, sent via the State Department’s confidential dissent channel, warned of rapid territorial gains by the Taliban and the subsequent collapse of Afghan security forces, and offered recommendations on ways to mitigate the crisis and speed up an evacuation, the two people said.

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.

Reports say the number of Americans still in Afghanistan ranges from 10,000 to 20,000. But, Biden is only evacuating the ones who managed to make their way through the checkpoints set up by the Taliban.
