Shock: Biden Admin Turns To Socials To Hide Scale Of Afghanistan Debacle

Biden administration officials directed federal agencies to wipe any detailed lists from their websites that describe quantities or cost of U.S. military equipment and training to Afghanistan security forces, according to the State Department. The request was then made to some big tech companies asking them to help them locate these posts.

Public relations to stories about the tens of billions of dollars in equipment issued by multiple agencies, including Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction and the Governmental Accountability Office, are now dead.

A State Department spokesperson on Wednesday confirmed the agency's role in the reports' withdrawals, which were reported on Tuesday by OpenTheBooks.com founder Adam Andrzejewski, and said the department gave the directions to defend Afghan allies after the U.S.-backed government's fall and the Taliban's takeover of most of the nation.

“The safety of our Afghan contacts is of utmost importance to us," the spokesperson told the Washington Examiner in a statement. "The State Department advised other federal agencies to review their web properties for content that highlights cooperation/participation between an Afghan citizen and the USG or a USG partner and removed from public view if it poses a security risk."

Taliban members have a history of killing Afghans who cooperated with the United States during its 20-year war in the country, which officials mentioned as an ethical basis for the U.S. mission to help remove those allies in recent weeks.

A GAO spokesperson told Andrzejewski it complied with the State Department's request "to protect recipients of U.S. assistance that may be identified through our reports and thus subject to retribution." Still, the reports do not carry the names of Afghans who got the equipment.

The choice to take down the reports follows the United States's final departure from Afghanistan on Tuesday, the countdown accompanied by important input from Republicans slamming the Biden administration for not catching back or destroying the U.S.-taxpayer-funded equipment.

Former President Donald Trump directed the Biden administration to recoup the cost of the equipment — whose views have changed from about $24 billion to about $85 billion — or "bomb the hell" out of it.

Gen. Frank McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command, said the military eliminated or rendered inoperable several pieces of equipment, including mine-resistant vehicles, Humvees, and aircraft before pulling out.

"Those aircraft will never fly again when we leave," McKenzie said in announcing a conclusion to the U.S. mission in Afghanistan on Monday. "They’ll never be able to be operated by anyone."

However, photos and videos posted online show Taliban fighters posing with this sort of equipment. A slew of clips presented a Black Hawk helicopter swaying what was reported to be a Taliban fighter raising a flag onto a building in Kandahar.
