Taliban Taking Over Afghanistan - Does anyone care?

[GAVol]

She looks haggard as well. Must be rough behind the scene.

Can’t imagine having that job ever; much less on a day like this.

Annabelle II today...

Annabelle I was years ago..

The same person that was spinning lies about Benghazi for Obama is now lying about Afghanistan for Biden.

Oh, it's certainly easier for some of the Administrations...

Which indicates this is reeely bad.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Wait is he saying we shouldn't have went to Afghanistan even after 9/11?

We shouldnt have, We shouldve gone to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia

 

[Zues1]

Can he ever respond to a military calamity without reminding the world his son served in Iraq. What a POS.

I hear his dad was a postman....oops, wrong dufus

 

[NEVolFan]

Bagram sounds like a nice asset to have in play.

We were correct in going to Afghanistan. We just stayed (as usual) way too long. We did go to Pakistan (against Biden's recommendation, I might add). I agree about Saudi Arabia.

How are we still talking about Americans “that want to leave”?

Who are these Americans that want to stay in Afghanistan at this point?
How many Americans want to stay?

If we know Americans want to stay, we must have some idea of how many there are.

Yeah, would have probably been nice to have had some Apaches and or A10 flying cover the last couple of weeks.

They were trained and harbored in Afghanistan. By that logic, we should have invaded Germany and Lebanon; Ziad Jarrah was born in Lebanon and his family lived in Germany

The Biden Administration defines "Americans that want to stay in Afghanistan" as any American in Afghanistan that doesn't have the will and the means to do, as an American government worker or private citizen, what Joe Biden is too cowardly to ask the U.S. military (the world's most effective paid professional warriors) to do....venture out beyond the perimeter of the airport. The U.S. military is heavily armed and highly capable. They are simply lead by a once-in-a-generation coward.

The reason for going to Saudi Arabia was the funding for 9/11 and the terrorists.

That early airbase pullout will be considered Error 1 IMO

 

[RikidyBones]

Y’all are being way too hard on Joe at his age. He hasn’t had time to watch Golden Girls, collect coupons, and drink his Sanka. How can he possibly be expected to have a clear enough mind to answer more than 2-3 questions?

He definitely needs to pop a Werther's original candy.

per the press conf (Psaki) it sounds like about 700 or so give or take (expressed interest in leaving) so about 300 that want to stay

There's always a tweet...

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

It's been reported this adminstration gave the Taliban a list of US citizen and Afghani's that need to be evaluated.

Hmmmm... its gotta be more context to this.

 

[Orangeburst]

Hmmmm... its gotta be more context to this.

Guarantee they pay per head recovered..The DC way.

 

[lawgator1]

This is a terrible day. Thirteen dead and scores wounded. Not to mention the Afghan casualties.

And the Biden administration will likely be another casualty of this war. I don't see how they bounce back politically.

But it's disgusting so many people here seem to be celebrating this failure. Really, shameful.

Save your glee at the political consequences for later.

That sounds like the Biden Administration. It reminds me of the list of U.S. companies that he told Putin were off-limits for Russian hackers.
