Sara Carter says ‘the Biden admin just completely f***ed up’ Afghanistan’s evacuation operation
By Jenny Goldsberry
Sara Carter blasted President Biden for failing Afghanistan on the latest episode of the Sara Carter Show. According to her, the “administration just completely f***ed up” a safe withdrawal from the tumultuous country. Now, the Taliban is taking over instead.
“Afghanistan falls to the Taliban. You know they just walked in,” Carter said. Newly minted head of the Taliban Mullah Baradar even admitted it was easier to overtake the country than he thought. “[He] said in a video, basically ‘hey look, we just walked in. We didn’t even know it would be this easy,'” said Carter during her podcast.
“The Biden Administration just completely f***ed up,” Carter said.
However, there was a plan in place.
“It exists,” Carter said of the plan. “The Department of Defense has it. It’s all wrapped up in a nice bundle. We have these plans. They call them NEO‘s [noncombatant evacuation operations].” Instead of sticking to protocol, Carter claims Biden revealed the plan too far in advance.
“First, they advertised that we were going to pull out,” Carter said. “Why would you do that with an enemy?”
In the meantime, Carter is doing all she can to help her sources safely flee the country. She discouraged them from storming the Hamid Karzai International Airport like over 20,000 Afghans have done recently. It’s a risky move, with as many as seven people left dead for trying to fight crowds.

Mental health crisis spikes among Afghan women after Taliban regained control two years ago
The women of Afghanistan are suffering a mental health crisis since the Taliban regained power two years ago. According to a joint report from three U.N. agencies released Tuesday, approximately 70% of women experience feelings of anxiety, isolation and depression.
The numbers continue to rise, as there has already been a significant jump between April and June of this year alone, with an increase from 57% the preceding quarter.
The report, conducted by U.N. Women, the International Organization for Migration and the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, interviewed women online, in-person and in group consultations as well as individual telesurveys.
592 Afghan women in 22 of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces took part in the study. The Associated Press reports:
They have barred women from most areas of public life and work and banned girls from going to school beyond the sixth grade. They have prohibited Afghan women from working at local and non-governmental organizations. The ban was extended to employees of the United Nations in April.
Opportunities to study continued to shrink as community-based education by international organizations was banned and home-based schooling initiatives were regularly shut down by the de facto authorities — a term use by the U.N. for the Taliban government.
Afghanistan is the only country in the world with restrictions on female education and the rights of Afghan women and children are on the agenda of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
