Back in 2008 then-Senators Biden (D-DE), Kerry (D-MA), and Hagel (R-NE) were in Afghanistan. The US Army Black Hawk helicopter they were flying on was forced down in bad weather. They went down in an area frequented by Taliban insurgents (long before we armed them and made them the legitimate rulers of Afghanistan once again). Among the men that came to rescue the American Congressmen was an Afghan interpreter. That ‘terp was among the many Biden left behind this week when he kept his promise to the Taliban to leave the country by 31 August.<\/p>\n

Fox News reports<\/a>;<\/p>\n

An Afghan interpreter that helped rescue then-Sen. Joe Biden and two other senators from Afghanistan thirteen years ago is now pleading with the president to rescue him and his family, warning that the Taliban will likely kill him on sight.<\/p>\n

In 2008, the man known only as Mohammed was part of a team that helped ensure Joe Biden\u2019s safety after their Black Hawk helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing during a snowstorm.<\/p>\n

Taliban insurgents had been spotted in the remote Afghan valley around the same time.<\/p>\n

Thirteen years later, with Biden in the driver\u2019s seat, Mohammed is asking the president to return the favor.<\/p>\n

“Do not forget me and my family,” said Mohammed, while speaking by telephone to “Fox & Friends First” co-host Jillian Mele.<\/p>\n

“Just give him my hello and tell him\u2014if possible, tell him or send a message. Do not let me and my family [sic] behind.”<\/p>\n

Mohammed was one of an unknown number of people unable to reach the Kabul International airport before the final U.S. flight took off prior to the August 31 withdrawal deadline.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s very scary, mam. We are under great risk,” Mohammed said, adding that his situation is both “hard” and “horrifying.”<\/p>\n

With reports of door-to-door executions taking place and an anti-U.S. forces sentiment running through the Taliban ranks, the Afghan interpreter has remained trapped indoors – warning that, at any moment, they could find and kill him through tracking and information-gathering.<\/p>\n

Without the ability to travel outside and gather necessities, Mohammed fears he may die inside. His family gathered around the telephone in total darkness as he spoke.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s too easy for them,” said Mohammed, referring to the Taliban.<\/p>\n

Despite the dire circumstances, Mohammed is confident President Biden will find a way to get him out of Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

“I trust him. He can do everything. He\u2019s the power of the United States. He controls the power and [sic] use power right now. He can do everything for me, and, like me, other people.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There you have it. The man who wasn’t left behind can’t even return the favor to one of his rescuers. I think that pretty well sums up Biden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
