Obama ‘released Taliban leader Khairullah Khairkhwa from Guantanamo Bay in 2014 prisoner swap

BARACK Obama released a Taliban commander in 2014 who helped orchestrated this week’s takeover of Afghanistan, reports say.

Khairullah Khairkhwa was arrested in Pakistan after 9/11 and was sent to Gitmo in 2002 before his release as part of a prisoner swap involving an American “deserter”.

Pentagon officials accused him of “closely associating” with Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda henchmen, according to the New York Post.

He reportedly oversaw punishments such as beheadings and executions.

Khairkhwa was released from jail 12 years later along with four Taliban commandos.

As part of the deal, militants released US Army Sgt Bowe Bergdahl who was captured in 2009.

Bergdahl was accused of “deserting” his post while in Pakistan.

Khairkhwa and the four other henchmen were flown to Qatar and they were the only “forever prisoners” released without being cleared by the parole board.

It remains unknown if Biden supported Obama’s prisoner swap at the time.

According to The Post, Khairkhwa was a central figure in the fall of the regime in Kabul.

It comes as another Taliban insurgent claimed he spent eight years in Guantanamo Bay, according to The Times.

The comments were made during a press conference where militants demanded a “peaceful transfer of power” as Afghan president Ashraf Ghani fled the war-torn country.

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the co-founder of the Taliban, said: “I want to congratulate the Muslim Afghan people on this huge victory.”

Obama was slammed over the Taliban’s gains as Instagram users flooded his page voicing concerns about the decision to withdraw US troops.

For about two hours, comments on the ex-president’s latest post were switched off.

They appeared to be back up and running by Monday evening.

One worried user wrote: “Afghanistan needs your help. Please please help Afghanistan.”

Another said: “The blood of the Afghan people is on the hands of those who have remained silent in the face of oppression and have made friends with the Taliban.”

Biden addressed the American public on Monday afternoon in a speech that has been widely criticized by media outlets and politicians.

‘SHAMEFUL AND SHAMBOLIC’

He doubled down on the decision to withdraw troops ahead of the 20th anniversary of 9/11.

The Wall Street Journal described Biden’s speech as “one of the most shameful in history by a commander in chief”.

The outlet claimed a smaller US presence in the country could’ve “prevented the rout”.

Meanwhile, The Sun said: “There has to be a better way to exit than this shambolic headlong retreat that sold millions of ordinary Afghans down the river and will haunt the West for decades, if not centuries, to come.”

Both Democrats and Republicans criticized Biden for how he has approached the crisis.

Former Air Force veteran Rep Chrissy Houlahan told CNN: “These past few days have been difficult to process, and not because the Taliban’s progress was surprising.

“In fact, the opposite. We sounded the alarm, and our dire warnings fell on deaf ears.”

Texas Senator Ted Cruz said: “Joe Biden’s address was beyond disappointing. Instead of blaming others, Joe Biden owes the American people a real explanation of what went wrong so fast in Afghanistan.”

The president admitted that he was surprised by the speed of the Afghan government’s collapse but slammed its leaders.

HASTY EXIT

He said he has no regrets about his decision to pull American soldiers out of Afghanistan.

Biden told the nation: “After 20 years, I’ve learned the hard way that there was never a good time to withdraw US forces. We will end America’s longest war after 20 long years of bloodshed.”

Evacuation flights have restarted after the runway at Kabul airport was cleared.

Footage showed desperate Afghans climbing onto jet bridges and onto the wings of aircraft as they tried to flee the Taliban.

More than 600 Afghans crammed into a C-17 jet to fly to Qatar, according to photos taken inside the plane.

US forces took charge of the airport on Sunday as militants seized Kabul after a week of rapid advances.

Biden threatened “devastating force” against the insurgents if they were to interfere with the evacuation process.

Author's note at the end of each post: -"Your biggest problem is so small for such a big God"-Ella Cruz" The Bible serves as the blueprint of faith, and the New Testament provides us with God's faith and the power to perform miracles through faith and the name of Jesus. Regardless of the severity of cancer, healing can be achieved through faith in God's word. When Jesus raised the dead, he did not discriminate based on the level of death. He simply called forth life. Let's explore how he did it. The first time Jesus brought someone back from the dead was the daughter of Jairus, an official in Jerusalem. Although she had passed away, she was only recently deceased. The second time was the son of a widow in Nain who had been dead for just one day. Lastly, Jesus raised Lazarus, the brother of Mary and Martha in Bethany, who had been dead for three days. He raised them all. No matter how insurmountable your problem may seem, Jesus is the resurrection and the light. Ella Cruz World's events are happening so fast. Global Governance 2015, Agenda 2030, Agenda 2050, Antarctica, Mars, CERN, G5, The United Nations, The European Union, the Club of Rome, and the false prophets of the Vatican all together, we see that the satanic global government is imminent, and it shall come to pass. The mark of the beast will be obligatory. You are either a Christian or not. If you are, you believe this because it is predicted 2000 years ago in the Bible. But if you are not a Christian, you read the news and notice that the satanic world government is their agenda. Their Global Governance 2025 is terribly close. Their Green New Deal 12-year timeline matches the agenda 2030. We have a short time to prepare ourselves. Born-again Christians are happy and calm. Why? Why do we joyfully dedicate ourselves to the nation, knowing that we will be chased and prosecuted? Because we are dedicated to the Kingdom. "Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done." 1. We firmly believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God. 2. We hold the Bible as the divinely inspired Word of God. 3. We believe that God loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross for our sins. Through His precious blood, all our sins are washed away and forgiven. 4. We believe that the price for our salvation, health, prosperity, happiness, and eternal life has been paid by the blood of Jesus. These gifts are freely available to us through the grace of God. By His stripes, we were healed 2000 years ago. 5. We acknowledge that by accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we open our hearts to the Holy Spirit. We are baptized by the Holy Spirit, who dwells within us and communicates with us through dreams, visions, speeches, videos, books, and other means. This communication begins immediately after our salvation. 6. We firmly believe that Jesus Christ remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. As born-again believers, we receive the same DNA as Jesus Christ, with the same miraculous abilities through faith. Just as the apostles performed signs and wonders like Jesus, we too can accomplish these miracles through faith, and the Lord will work through us. 7. We condemn the Vatican's religion and many false prophets who have deceived Christians for centuries, hiding the true message of the Bible and the Good News from people to maintain their power. We welcome all denominations and strive for unity in the body of Christ. 8. We believe that a born-again Christian never truly dies. When a believer's life on earth ends, they are promoted to heaven, and death holds no power over them. In heaven, we experience immense joy, love, peace, and the glory of God. Those who have had near-death experiences or have seen Jesus in a vision or dream know the indescribable relief and joy of being in His presence. To answer the question of why we are happy, we say that we could happily die at any moment. In fact, we long to go home and be with our Lord. However, we know that each one of us has a mission and purpose revealed to us by the Holy Spirit after our born-again experience. For the sake of fulfilling that mission, we remain joyful and relaxed in the spirit, knowing that we are called to save people by preaching the Gospel and bringing them to Jesus. To be born again, you just need to say: Lord Jesus, I accept you as my personal savior, Come to my heart, Forgive my sins, Wash me away, Make me a new person, And live inside of me. In the Name of Jesus from Nazareth, Amen. And that's it. You are saved! Jesus will reveal Himself to you, and your life will undergo a significant transformation. Your marriage, health (especially addiction), finances, and all areas of your life will experience an extraordinary change. And never look back. In Jesus Almighty name. Amen.
