Taliban Shows Off Abandoned U.S. Equipment on Eve of Catastrophic Withdrawal

The third anniversary of President Joe Biden's catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan is here and the Taliban, which took over the country as the U.S. fled Kabul and left behind Bagram Airbase, is celebrating with a military parade featuring the equipment left behind. After 20 years of war, the Taliban conquered the capital city of Kabul on August 15, 2021.

Disgusting. Preventable.

Taliban terrorists paraded through Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan today with the U.S. military equipment that was foolishly left behind in the botched withdrawal.

The White House has brazenly claimed the U.S. military equipment left behind, worth billions of dollars, was the responisibility of the Afghanistan government to keep from the Taliban.

At the time of the withdrawal Vice President Kamala Harris said she was the last person Biden spoke to before making the disastrous decision. When asked about whether she supported his leadership on the issue, she said she was "comfortable."

Bash: “Joe Biden just made a really big decision—Afghanistan—were you the last person in the room?”

Kamala: “Yes.”

Bash: “And you feel comfortable?”

Kamala: “I do.” pic.twitter.com/qlTAt2wjTN

It’s been three years since the Biden Harris administration’s predictable, preventable, debacle in Afghanistan.
Kamala Harris says she was the ‘last person in the room’ when the decision was made.
She owes every American an explanation about her role.@NEWSMAX pic.twitter.com/zsHbjtG0Pt
