The C.I.A. and an Afghan intelligence official said that the shooter had been part of an Afghan “partner force,” known as a Zero Unit, trained and supported by the agency in the southern province of Kandahar.

“The Biden administration justified bringing the alleged shooter to the United States in September 2021 due to his prior work with the U.S. government, including C.I.A., as a member of a partner force in Kandahar,” the C.I.A. director, John Ratcliffe, said in a statement, adding that the accused assailant “should have never been allowed to come here.”

So the CIA trained him to become a killer but he shouldn't have been allowed to be in America?

The USA is a cesspool.

They will say literally whatever they have to in order to shift blame from themselves to the Biden administration

to the Biden administration

Which, sheesh, feels a million miles gone at this point, doesn't it?

I can't believe it's barely been a year, holy crap.

But that's always been these goons' playbook: Doesn't matter to them how long ago the "other teams'" administration was. Blame, blame, blame some more.

This is all because of MAGA incompetence. The Biden Administration may have let him in, but it was the Trump Administration that gave him permanent status. It was on Trump to figure out this guy's deal BEFORE they made him fully legal.

No matter how loud they scream, this is Trump's fault.

The CIA agents who directed him also shouldn't be allowed to enter or remain in the United States.
