    The Taliban have published a series of photographs of their fighters at an Independence Day parade brandishing US assault weapons.

    The parade took place in the city of Qalat, the capital of Zabul province, on Thursday.

    The photographs show a Taliban unit carrying M4 carbines, which were supplied by the US to Afghan forces in recent years.

    Billions of dollars of U.S. weapons are now in the hands of the Taliban following the quick collapse of Afghan security forces that were trained to use the military equipment.

    Among the items seized by the Taliban are Black Hawk helicopters and A-29 Super Tucano attack aircraft.

    The United States also gave Afghan forces 7,035 machine guns, 4,702 Humvees, 20,040 hand grenades, 2,520 bombs and 1,394 grenade launchers, among other equipment, according to a report last year from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan

    As of June 30, Afghan forces had 211 U.S.-supplied aircraft in their inventory, a separate SIGAR report.

    Even as the U.S. military was withdrawing from Afghanistan, Biden kept aircraft flowing to the Afghans, in July touting plans to send 35 Black Hawk helicopters and three A-29s that were abandoned when Biden ordered our airbase evacuated a month ago.

    Truly amazing this administration tries to blame Trump. WTF have they been doing since January? Trump doesn’t control operations anymore. The military could have cleared things up however they chose to. Just astounding leaving all that gear there.

    Not to mention we know about 50 aircraft had been flown to Uzbekistan by Afghan pilots seeking refuge. We also know the president and military leader of the Afghan forces fled the country days before the execution of the evacuation. What idiot would think a leaderless Afghan army was going to fight the Taliban when they are loading up in our aircraft and leaving?

    Its astounding how massive of a screw up this current administration is.

    By any reasonable metric reckless racist joe has completely screwed up everything. From the economy to the ME, peace efforts ruined, our enemies armed with our own weapons.

    How could this president be THAT bad. This is going down in history as one of the biggest **** ups we have ever seen as a country and its ALL thanks to reckless racist joe.

    "Interesting that Joe Biden has probably distributed more real assault weapons without any kind of background check than anyone else in American history". #caring

    Why are they always the biggest offender of those shortcomings they accuse others of?

    The Taliban also got the biometric database the military uses.

    They are using it to confirm the identity of anyone who worked with the US over the last 20 years.

    The same tech used to confirm Bin Ladens ID.

    Those people will be systematically murdered.

    Which is why UK Parliament held Biden in contempt and Germany, Britain, the Dutch, and France sent in their special forces to go door to door to get their people out while Biden has ordered our troops to stay at the airport telling American citizens they are on their own to make it out.

    Its also the reason why the lefts own media (CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC) are calling Biden incompetent.

    So, the US army left behind Humvees and assault rifles....

    The drama.

    Equipment that would cost the American taxpayers a fortune to bring back home when they've already blown more than 200 billion over the last 20 years in Afghanistan.

    So, do you think we win a war in the 21st century with Jeeps and assault rifles?

    I would maybe share your indignation if the Taliban had captured only one plane.... although they wouldn't know how to fly it....

    Pathetic.

    Yet the left says guns in the hands of whites people pose a lethal threat to this country. The Muslim terrorists got more than rifles and Jeeps, a lot more.

    You've got to be exhausted with the continued attempt to spin this.

    I see you're still trying though. This takes nerve.

    Stephen Paddock would be sad if you said something like that.
