Chaotic scenes from the Kabul airport show that Afghans, desperate to flee the country, don’t believe the Taliban’s softer tone or promises to maintain women’s rights, a former CIA intelligence officer told Fox News in an exclusive interview.
Shannon Spann, the widow of a fellow CIA officer who was the first American service member to be killed in combat in Afghanistan soon after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, also reflected on children and women she met in the Middle Eastern nation during the U.S.’ intervention and what their lives will look like with the Taliban back in power…
The Hamid Karzai International Airport outside of Kabul fell into chaos as the Taliban seized the city, with Afghans and people from foreign nations, including U.S. citizens, flooding the site to escape the country. The mayhem led to several deaths. Video showed people clinging onto aircraft, and human remains were found in the wheel well of a U.S. military plane…
She described meeting young children, the same ages as her children, who she met in an orphanage during a 2002 trip to Afghanistan for a ceremony honoring her late husband.
“They greeted us with such friendship,” Spann, who left the CIA in 2009, told Fox News. “They had such resilient joy on their faces…
“I’m deeply disappointed in President Biden’s defiant stance in his address to the nation,” Spann told Fox News.”…
We utterly failed at keeping people bigger than the problem,” Spann continued…
She told Fox News that it was “unconscionable” that the U.S. had no plan to “evacuate the most vulnerable of our friends and partners.”

My heart goes out to all of those who lost loved ones fighting in Afghanistan. My husband and I are heartsick for two friends who lost son’s in Afghanistan. Also another friend’s only child a son served as a Marine in Iraq and Afghanistan. Suffered from PTS and she come home the Sunday before Mother’s Day and found him dead in his bedroom having blown his head off. We are praying and have strong feeling of sympathy toward them at this time. I extend extreme sympathy to this widow. There is nothing you are feeling that I do not have complete compassion for. Everything you are feeling is justified and no matter how much I hurt for you I doubt I know exactly what your feeling. I am truly sorry the United States did this to you. It may not seem like much and seems insufficient to say you are in our prayers. I hope somehow this message gets to you.
This administration has failed EVERYONE! In just several months, they have managed to tear the entire world up! This administration couldn’t have caused more chaos, more horror, than these people have! I personally believe, it’s on purpose! These so-called leaders will never put people first! They are arrogantly turning the world upside down and only our Father, can fix this ungodly mess! This is a betrayal against the American people, the Afghans, and the world, by a person who should never have been in the presidency and by an administration that could care less about anyone but themselves! God, have mercy on the Afghan people and America! Only a Soverign God can turn this around.
