Ingrate: Biden abandons Afghani interpretor who rescued him in 2008
By Monica Showalter
Joe Biden crowed about hauling in more than 100,000 Afghani refugees or "interpretors" from Kabul yesterday, leaving behind "only" a miniscule few.
Well, one of them was someone he should have had rescued as a personal priority, same as the many veterans who are working to rescue good people they knew in the now-godforsaken country.
According to the Wall Street Journal:
Thirteen years ago, Afghan interpreter Mohammed helped rescue then- Sen. Joe Biden and two other senators stranded in a remote Afghanistan valley after their helicopter was forced to land in a snowstorm. Now, Mohammed is asking President Biden to save him.
“Hello Mr. President: Save me and my family,” Mohammed, who asked not to use his full name while in hiding, told The Wall Street Journal as the last Americans flew out of Kabul on Monday. “Don’t forget me here.”
Mohammed, his wife, and their four children are hiding from the Taliban after his yearslong attempt to get out of Afghanistan got tangled in the bureaucracy. They are among countless Afghan allies who were left behind when the U.S. ended its 20-year military campaign in Afghanistan on Monday.
Why the heck did he get left behind?
It highlights that the mass evacuation mission recently concluded by the Biden administration has been in some aspects pretty much an open-borders transport service for random migrants looking for a better life.
The Biden administration has reportedly told NGOs to get ready for 50,000 of them looking for resettlement. Most tellingly, though, is the fact that few of these so-called "interpreters" supposedly facing the wrath of the Taliban can speak English. Among the U.S. refugee resettlers, calls have gone out for Urdu speakers (weird, as the most important languages of Afghanistan are Dari and Pashto) to help translate for the Afghani refugees, making one wonder if these people might actually be Pakistani.
