How The Afghan Attacker Could Have Been Stopped

@Anti Federalist if you don't care to watch the entire episode you can start at the 11 minute mark.
Daniel McAdams @ 12:50 "The disasterous fall of Kabul was not Biden's fault. Certainly not 100% his fault. It was the fault of those who went in in the first place." Hmmmmm.....I seem to recall somebody saying this in another thread.....

My only (slight) quibble is Mr. McAdams said "We don't know who these people are." In the case of this particular killer we DID know who he was! He was on the CIA payroll. Whether this was a "false flag" or later PTSD (and I'm now thinking it was PTSD), he wasn't someone we didn't know. And Ron Paul's usual "Don't subsidize" argument doesn't really fly in the case. This young man didn't come for the subsidy. He came to escape certain death. He may have joined the CIA hit squad for the money, but even if he was told in advance "You won't get a penny if you come to the U.S." he still would have gotten on that C130.

The real issue is that not only did we screw Afghanistan like a cheap prostitute, but we made the mistake of looking in her eyes and saying "I love you." Libya is arguably in worse shape. But Obama never put boots on the ground besides the handful of CIA contractors who helped Hillary scoop up stinger missles and who tried to save the U.S. Ambassaord. (13 hours is a great movie but just like Blackhawk Down it whitewashed what really happened policy wise.) In the first Gulf War, Colin Powell said he didn't want to overthrow Saddam out of kicking him out of Kuwait because he didn't want a "You break it you bought it" scenario with Iraq. We bought Iraq and still have "Baby mama drama" and we bought Afghanistan and we have "A woman scorned and her bad kids."
