'Vast Majority' of Incoming 100,000 Afghans 'Rendered No Meaningful Assistance' To U.S.

What I have heard from my government sources about the evacuation is horrifying. Over 100,000 Afghan nationals have been removed from the country, the vast majority of whom have rendered no meaningful assistance to the United States government in the war effort. The only common thread among them is the Taliban let them through and they want to leave Afghanistan. That's it. That's the qualifying criteria. This is madness. The one thing that Joe Biden said today that was correct is that Afghanistan has never had a successful history of being a democracy with a strong central government. That it's been a series of warring tribes. That's true. It's been a series of fundamentalist extremists killing each other for generations. The notion that we are going to indiscriminately bring in a matter of days 100,000, in other words, the size of a very large province in Afghanistan, into the United States and just cross our fingers and hope this works out is clinically mad. We are going to have here the exact same problems they have in Afghanistan, and to believe anything else is simply to deny reason and logic.
