Transcript from this Interview:
Jesse: Lara Logan, Mass confusion, sources on the ground and families are desperate to get out of there. What are you hearing.
Lara: Well, Jesse, I was on the phone pretty much all through the night last night with many families on the ground and the number of them worked with me on ” 60 Minutes” for 20 years and that’s why I’ helping them get out. They have been threatened and they are targets. It was really the most, it was one of the most distressing things I’ve every experienced because when the bombs went off, they were telling me that kids were screaming. Of most of what you have seen across the media today of all of the people who were lying dead and wounded, those were taken buy the brother of our 60 minutes Afghan Producer.
For Joe Biden to stand up there on the day that all these Afghans are being killed and to pretend that this is some kind of tragedy and he cares about the death of American Soldiers. If he cared about, why did you do it? Why did you create the situation? Why aren’t you doing anything to change it or?
Going to the Taliban and asking, can we stop pretending now that the Taliban are not terrorists? Can we stop pretending that the network is not the number two, the leader of the hot country network, the Deputy Commander of the Taliban. Let’s pretend they are not ISIS.
Old friend of mine, I interviewed him many times, when we interrogated the people, get them on the battlefield you know what we find out? Today they are ISIS, two weeks ago they were Taliban, to tell you, a year ago there were Al Qaeda.
Jesse: They were fooling Joe Biden. So a slippery group of tribesmen. They change sides constantly, they’re all corrupt. The fact joe did not see the army collapsing like this, who is he kidding. I’ve never been over there and you go inline and look at it and have you seen the jumping jacks? These guys could not tell time. They’re were smoking, and they could not hold the advance? No wonder they went back to the field.
Lara: No, Jessie, I’ve got to tell you it didn’t collapse in 11 days. Also do not forget to, the commandos special forces that’s in the back bone and they are borne the brunt of most of the operations. These guys are among the best with any military in the world. If you do not see much of them. But they are indistinguishable from Americans, when you do see them on the battlefield. They’ve done thousands of operations. Their specialized forces that rely on mobility. When you take away the Air Force and the Air Support, what do you do? You can have a group of Delta Operators and if there’re out-numbered, surrounded, the same thing’s going, to have been to the many of these guys. Many of these guys were executed when they surrendered.
What happened to thousands of more of them, they fought their way from the South and across the mountains to the valley, where they went with their equipment. They are fighting now today. When the President of the United States is not, he’s lying. He’s taken the blood of our Afghans — You know what’s happening on the ground now? Americans, these good Americans who served along side these people have said we will not be part of the betrayal, that is drenched in the Blood of Afghans and the Blood of U.S. Marines as well.
This government is lying about everything. I know people in the evacuation, today who said there is not even close to the 7,000 numbers that went out is absolutely false. That they do not have the equipment in place. Not that many people allowed in. We know all of us up all night, that’s why my voice is crazy. We know they’ve been turning away people and American Children born in the country. Parents not being allowed to get on planes.
Jesse: They can’t hide it, because we have seen as the planes are taking out, there is five guys in there, planes empty. I don’t know what to hear anymore. Numbers about the success, it’s a scramble to the gates. Because he booted it. If anybody can see it, ground support, everybody knows it.
Jesse: I’ve got to run, Thank you so much.
