A member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence reveals President Joe Biden gave Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban terrorists a list of American citizens trapped in the country, as well as a list of Afghans who cooperated with the U.S. government.
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) calls the move “insane.”
“There is clearly no plan. There has been no plan. Their plan has basically been happy talk. People have died and people are going to die because President Biden decided to rely on happy talk instead of reality,” Sasse tells ABC News’ Martha Raddatz.
Sasse blamed Biden for the deaths of 13 Americans in a homicide bombing outside Kabul’s airport, then revealed Biden told the Taliban which Americans may still be in Afghanistan as well as which Afghans worked with the U.S. government, despite threats by Taliban fighters to find and kill them.
“They decided to outsource security around the perimeter of the airport to the Taliban. They passed a list of American citizens and America’s closest allies, people who have fought alongside us, they passed those lists to the Taliban relying on them, thinking they could trust on them. It was stupid then. It’s insane now,” said Sasse.
It not only places their lives in danger, but violates a promise by the U.S. government that they would be protected when American forces withdrew.
“We have American citizens who are being left behind. We have American green card holders who are being left behind. We have Afghan allies who are SIV holders, folks who fought alongside us, drivers, translators, people who actually fought with us. These people are people to whom we made commitments,” said Sasse.
Sasse even questioned Biden’s mental fitness.
“I’m on the Intelligence Committee as you know, and there are some small ways to try to do things around the margin, but what we need is a Commander-in-Chief that actually has a big plan and a big way to solve this problem. President Biden has been repeatedly disconnected from reality.”
“Americans keep their word. Thirteen service men and women died this week and our families across this country are in prayer for those families and for the ultimate sacrifice they have made, but they were doing something to make sure that no one was left behind. The Commander-in-Chief should be doing the same, which is make sure that no one is left behind,” Sasse concluded.

None of us want Biden administration jobs, dear.
Problem is he doesn’t need to think, just follows orders by the deep staters.
POS Biden and the rest of corrupt Demacrats in Congress including military Generals and everyone else involved with these other high commander and chief personal need to be prosecuted for Treason and hanged till death!!

In a week or so, we should be getting news of whether biden is to be impeached.
Don’t hold your breath. CCP McConnell has said he will not go with impeachment nor any other form of punishment. And if you think Rino, Sasse will guess again. Both useless idiots.
…OR Lenin’s ‘useful idiots.’
That’s ONLY if……any of the Democrats in the House, vote for impeachment.
Thus, if it doesn’t pass the House, it cannot possibly have a trial…in the Senate.
On this specific technicality, McConnell (the Rino)… is quite correct.
Thanks Biden PUT more lives at risk
He doesn’t value life in the womb, shouldn’t that be a huge indicator where his values really are?
We shouldn’t be all that surprised. Remember the doctor in Pakistan who treated the bin Laden family members and provided the DNA from syringes to US Intelligence which allowed the confirmation with certainty that bin Laden was hiding within the compound? This idiot we now have as President was then Vice President (and who was the sole vote against authorizing the bin Laden raid by Seal Team 6). After the raid proved to be a success though he couldn’t resist patting himself on the back and disclosed the role the doctor played in killing bin Laden. That doctor was, as could be expected by any one thinking rationally, promptly arrested by the Pakistani Intelligence service and imprisoned. Disgusting! No nation state or foreign national will be inclined to trust the US again to live up to commitments, thus crippling US Intelligence gathering and overseas operations. Nor will nation states with mutual defense treaties with the US have any trust that the US will stand by them to face down China, Russia, or Iran. Americans are not finished dying either as ISIS and other Iranian sponsored terrorist groups have now been provided with both incentive and an operating base to conduct future terror attacks against American facilities overseas and likely within the US thanks to the southwest open border. Biden now just needs to allow Iran to obtain nukes to complete this disastrous administration.
Bravo!
What worries me is our PM and defence staff along with India and Japan are to hold meetings wit President Biden and the USA defence representatives in regards to the concern of Chinas aggression in the Pacific. We are looking for USA cooperation and support if there is any escalation in Chinas aggression in the said area.
Normal Americans keep their word. Politicians lie every second
Glad you said normal, that automatically excludes demoncrats.
Would that it were the only enemy he has surrendered to.
By Golly. Ben Sasse has finally woken up from his democrat induced sleep. And with Martha Raddatz of ABC as well. However, I trust neither one of these silly buffoons.
LISTEN UP….P REZ BIDEN is a TRAITOR. SO are SOME of the DEMOCRATS. The DAY is COMING…THEY will ANSWER to GOD….WHILE THEY are STILL ALIVE. JUDGEMENT is Already HERE on EARTH….to JUDGE the LIVING and the DEAD. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
What does biden care or he would not have left them there to begin with, Defending the Indefensible by breaking long established US laws is not the will of the average American citizen, democrats, will look back on that decision with regret forever, the war will continue on now, since we re-equiped them with weapons of war, victory, a place to call their own, financial incentives to continue on, thank you joe biden for your lack of wisdom, just to look good on 9/11, history will remember the bidens because of the way we left, and the Americans and Allies we left behind
Biden, the joint chiefs, the entire demoncrat party are ALL guilty of mass murder and HIGH TREASON. They all deserve to hang by their necks until death sends them to HELL.
biden and harris are Traitors to the American People and the Constitution and biden is a Coward
Biden is guilty of TREASON! HE IS A TRAITOR
Sadly it goes even far beyond the debacle in Afghanistan. We have a President that lies constantly, even about things that are basically unimportant. As a consequence you cannot believe anything he says, his credibility is shot. He can say they have the Southern Border under control, and you know it isn’t. He’ll say masks and vaccines are the solution to Covid-19 and you have to question whether that’s true. I got both Moderna shots, NOT BECAUSE Joe Biden and Dr Fauci said I should, but because I talked to my Doctor, and SHE suggested it was the prudent thing to do. I trust her…I do not trust what Joe Biden says. The list goes on and on, we’re all in serious danger from GLOBAL WARMING……ok maybe, if Al Gore, John Kerry, and Joe Biden didn’t keep saying it maybe I’d believe that..but with them saying it..Ha, sure.
And we have Hurricanes that virtually all spawn in the warm waters off the coast of Africa in the South Atlantic, and we have Democrats that think that making High Rise building owners in major cities reduce their Carbon footprint..that somehow will stop Hurricanes from forming on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. California is a mess, yet Kamala Harris AND JOE BIDEN think their time is best used by campaigning for Gov Newsome’s stop the recall….because he’s done such a good job in California?..George Soros likes Newsome too, which tells you ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW> Well, the country is going in the wrong direction and the Democrats are intending to bury your children in Debt and their children and their children’s children……remember when we used to talk about debt in the Billions?..now TRILLIONS in debt is no big deal…we’re a joke!
Biden belongs on the gallows along with Obama.
Biden is supposed to be the commander in chief of the military then he should be able to be court martialed He committed cowardice acts and gave information to the enemy Don’t look now but Biden also gave US citizens names to the Taliban who in turn shared the list with ISIS the ones that were in prison on the base Bide vacated The same ones who killed 13 of our service members and now they are hunting our citizens They are going to have beheadings again Thank Joe
Those left behind were obviously not needed for the future plans of the Oligarchs.
TREASON OF ANY KIND MUST CARRY MANDATORY DEATH SENTENCE. ELECTION FRAUD IS TREASON.
IE planned giveaway or slip.
Much more to all this than meets the eye. Biden’s 10% stake in a chinese company that gets a mineral from the earth only found in Afghanistan. Payoffs, protection, money laundering, murders. Treason. Xi den needs to get hung by his ankles like Mussolini.
This Act of providing names and addresses to the Taliban of American Citizens in Afghanistan is Treason; same as leaving our Weapons behind for the Taliban or any Other enemy to use them against us or any other Nation.
Joe Biden and the Biden Administration and Top Military General, General Milley comes to mind, should be Impeached, Fired or Court Martialed, however the circumstances fit, Period. And no, I have not forgotten the Open Southern Borders which is treasoneous too.
They know once caught they all could hang. What better scape goat than the clownish Biden. He gets to skate due to mental state while a nation is bought and sold by the corrupt insiders.
Giving a ‘hit list’ of Americans and Afghans to the Taliban is akin to murder.
