ABC's Terry Moran absolutely slams Biden address as having "miss[ed] the moment," "didn't answer the question as to how his administration bungled this," "shifted blame," and refused to "demonstrate the kind of leadership to live up to that saying, 'the buck stops here.'"

Afghan interpreter for US Army was beheaded by Taliban. Others fear they will be hunted down too

 

ohail Pardis was driving from his home in Afghanistanโ€™s capital Kabul to nearby Khost province to pick up his sister for the upcoming Eid holiday celebrations to mark the end of Ramadan.

 

It was supposed to be a happy occasion enjoyed with family. But during the five-hour trip on May 12, as Pardis, 32, drove through a stretch of desert, his vehicle was blocked at a checkpoint by Taliban militants.

 

Just days before, Pardis had confided to his friend that he was receiving death threats from the Taliban, who had discovered he had worked as a translator for the United States Army for 16 months during the 20-year-long conflict.

 

โ€œThey were telling him you are a spy for the Americans, you are the eyes of the Americans and you are infidel, and we will kill you and your family,โ€ his friend and co-worker Abdulhaq Ayoubi told CNN.

 

As he approached the checkpoint, Pardis put his foot on the accelerator to speed through. He was not seen alive again.

The White House communications team needs to be taken out behind the woodshed. The President flew from Camp David to the White House solely to deliver a press statement with no questions and then returned to Camp David. Thatโ€™s the definition of a photo op.
