There were a lot of stories of chaos out of Kabul after the country fell to the Taliban and in the mad rush of people trying to get out of the country.
Joe Bidenâs failure was probably one of the biggest military failures, at least in recent memory, particularly his failure to provide for the safe escape of the folks that we had an obligation to get out.
Instead, after Biden was chastised for not getting out enough people on the planes, he reportedly told them to put on âAfghans at riskâ on the plane, and women and children â that was over 100,000 of the people of the 124,00 that Biden evacuated â people who didnât necessarily have any relation to helping the U.S. or being previously vetted. Meanwhile people to whom we owed a real obligation, American citizens and thousands of Afghan allies, were abandoned.
Some of those Americans and allies are still trapped, but the Biden team has moved on, not caring about those they left behind.
You may recall the situation â thousands of Afghans massing outside the airport, trying to get past the Taliban checkpoints and inside the gates. People were being crushed in the crowd and endangered of being killed. Some of the babies and smaller children were handed over the walls to the Marines and other military who were manning the walls.
We wrote about one viral case, where a Marine helped lift a little girl over the wall who was later reunited with her parents. That Marine was later cheered at a Trump rally for what he did and is now being investigated by the Department of Defense for saying a few words about the rescue.
But thereâs a horrible story that occurred in all that madness that Biden created that didnât go viral and hasnât gotten the attention it deserves.
Mirza Ali, his wife Suraya, and their five children were out in that madness,trying to get through to the airport gate. Mirza said he worked as a security guard for the U.S. Embassy in Kabul for 10 years. That would make him and his family exactly the people that we should have been trying to get out, if he helped the United States.
The family was only about 16 feet away from the gate, but they feared for the safety of their son, two- month-old Sohail, in the crush. So they handed Sohail over the wall to a U.S. servicemember, who offered to help them. That was August 19.
They havenât seen Sohail since.
Fearing their two-month-old baby Sohail would get crushed in the melee, they handed him to the soldier, thinking they would soon get to the entrance. But at that moment, Mirza Ali said, the Taliban began pushing back hundreds of hopeful evacuees 2/3 pic.twitter.com/XN4f4ZZkS4
