Biden bug-out from Afghanistan allowed in 55 on terror watch list

Federalist Wire:

...

A recent Justice Department inspector general report has raised fresh concerns about the vetting process during the Biden administration’s 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, revealing that 55 Afghan evacuees were flagged as potential matches on the terrorist watchlist. The findings, released on Tuesday, have reignited debates over the handling of the chaotic evacuation as the Taliban swept back into power.

“I’ve sounded the alarm about the need to thoroughly vet Afghan evacuee applicants since August 2021,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said in a statement, responding to the report.

“The Biden-Harris administration, my Democrat colleagues in Congress and many in the media were quick to dismiss glaring red flags that a nonpartisan national security analysis now confirms.”

According to the report, the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) identified 55 Afghans who either appeared on the terrorist watchlist before arriving at a U.S. port of entry or were added during the evacuation and resettlement process. Alarmingly, at least 21 of these individuals were flagged only after they had already entered the United States.
...

Biden's retreat from Afghanistan was one of the most inept in history, and it was all his fault for ignoring US national security to do it quickly.  The retreat was consistent only in being inept, as were many other initiatives by Biden.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
