As the Biden administration scrambled to conduct a massive evacuation effort from Afghanistan, American officials quietly instructed U.S. citizens and at-risk Afghans, including Afghan commandos, to head to a secret CIA base outside Kabul to secure safe passage to the U.S. amid increased risks of a terrorist attack on the capital city’s main airport.
The clandestine operation, which took place over several weeks in August, resulted in the successful evacuation of hundreds of American citizens and vulnerable Afghans, including members of the elite Afghan special forces and their family members. At least 1,000 Afghan commandos and their family members were evacuated in the overall U.S. effort.
The New York Times first reported that the U.S used the base for evacuations. The full scope of the operation in the final days of the evacuation effort, however, has not been previously reported. A CIA spokesperson declined to comment on the operation.
At least some of the evacuees were taken by air from the secret compound, known as Eagle Base, to the airport in order to bypass the chaotic crowds and terror threat around the gates. Several helicopter flights operated by a U.S. company flew from an area around Eagle Base to the Kabul airport beginning on Aug. 15, when the Taliban took control of the city, according to flight data obtained by POLITICO.
Flight data suggests some of the evacuees were flown to Germany. During that same time period, aircraft owned by a U.S. government contractor flew from the Kabul airport to Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
The effort was coordinated with U.S. diplomats and staff who were relocated from the embassy to Hamid Karzai International Airport after the Taliban took control of Kabul.

“including Afghan commandos”
Nope, you lost that title when you dropped your weapons and ran. You earned the title Afghan dead weight.
Exactly... sounds about as believable as a $3 bill with Biden’s face on it. Sleepy Joe and his care taker Jill were probably there directing the whole operation.
new gif for the Goebbels Media.
Highly doubtful considering the source.
If you don’t have a good story — make one up! Baghdad BIDEN is the role model. Lie about everything.

CIA is as believable as CNN.
The other day I was talking with a friend who has spent about 6 years total deployed to Afghanistan, including a tour earlier this year.
Apparently we trained and armed a whole lot of trigger pressers but depended solely on contract labor for all of the other stuff an army requires. Logistics, intelligence, maintenance, spare parts, food, water etc.
They really weren’t an army.
Yeah, lost me right there.
The draw down should have been conducted so this wasn't
necessary.
He created the situation and now wants kudos for doing a
piss poor job of recovery.
The only thing "commando" about them was running so fast they left their underwear behind when the Taliban showed up.
What a great line, central!

Many ran. But most continued to fight without pay and close air support denied by the Biden administration. They were defenseless without the support from NATO, Biden and contractors that proved successful since 2014. Biden had blood on his hands.

The main stream media should have to wear all green to indicate that they work for SERVPRO, since they do so much cleaning up behind Biden.~Colt1851Navy
