Who was this guy? Why did he do this? On whose orders? Which people did Biden’s handlers want on the planes in preference to Americans and US allies? Why is there no investigation?
“US Colonel blocked busloads of Americans, allies trying to escape Afghanistan: documentary,” by Jesse O’Neill, New York Post, August 28, 2022:
A US Army colonel turned away busloads of Americans, allies and orphans trying to flee Afghanistan during the chaotic evacuation of war-torn country last August, a new documentary claims.
The unidentified colonel was accused of “murdering” the passengers by witnesses who said he blocked passengers of five buses from getting on planes that could have flew them out of Kabul.
Members of a high-level special operations volunteer team made the shocking claim in the new documentary “Send Me.”
The refugees all had verified documents and had been searched by Marines when they arrived at the airport’s secret US military-controlled Black Gate on Aug. 25, 2021 around 3 a.m., team members said.
They were met by an unidentified official from the 82nd Airborne Division who would not let the buses through.
“There was a colonel that who came out and wanted to show that essentially he was the one that could decide whether or not somebody could get on a plane or not,” said a member of the team whose identity was concealed by the documentary’s producers.
The colonel made the call to ‘put everybody back out,” MMA fighter turned-solider Tim Kennedy said.
“‘I don’t care who they are, they get back on those buses and those buses go back into Kabul,’” he said, according to Kennedy — even after the team explained their bags had been screened and were already in the airport.

The colonel could not be pleaded with, and would not even make an exception for people with US passports because he didn’t know “if that’s fake or not,” the anonymous team member recalled.
He then ordered the refugees back into the bus and off the base at gunpoint, where they would pass through a vengeful Taliban security force.
“This decision to turn this bus around essentially just killed, just murdered these people,” former Marine Chad Robichaux said.
“And by the way some of these people are children, some of these people are women, some of these people are Americans that we just sent back to the Taliban.”…

Should be fairly easy to find out who this colonel is, and what he was doing there…. and yet, the army I imagine will bury this but good…….

Unfortunately highly likely–I doubt he was acting on his own.

He fully deserves to be impeached for some 100 reasons more than Trump ever was. Of course, his party is too corrupt to do it, and the GOP is too cowardly or corrupted – take your pick – to insist on it either
somehistory says
Months ago, Glenn Beck said through his staff’s efforts and the money raised from him and his listeners, they had planes full and ready to leave, but some American….much like this guy, and perhaps the same fool, made them turn around; orders were given not to allow the planes to land in other countries…orders from the U.S. government; and they were made to take out of the country some that the U.S. government chose to put on the planes instead.
It was a rotten-to-the core business and was planned to be a chaotic, deadly event. Just as the report stated recently, biden was given a choice by the taliban to control the airport and he declined, telling the terror group to do so.
Planned murder.
and not to be a grammar nazi, but this article would gain more respect if errors such as this “could have flew” were repaired with “could have flown.”
Barbara says
I had heard this shortly at the time it was happening.
somehistory says
Yes, I was listening to Beck every day, and he had a running account from his guys on the ground that these things were happening. some of them saw the poor people riddled with shells as they tried to gain entry to safety.
It’s all so despicable.

………………………………………
Not just the Taliban, but a *US Colonel*? Was this just some low-ranking creep momentarily drunk on power and bent on misusing it, or–more likely–did these orders come from above?
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden has betrayed many Americans and the good Afghans who really aided the US military in the land by abandoning them all to the vicious and murderous Taliban.
Furthermore, Biden really does not care about those thirteen Americans who died or the other American who died in Afghanistan because of either his incompetence or treasonous orders.
Therefore, Joe Biden is very, obviously is ether completely incompetent and despicably treasonous. In the first or second case Biden should not have been allowed be enter the Office of the Presidency in the first place.
