Taliban Taking Over Afghanistan - Does anyone care?

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Multiple reports now saying the Americans are out.

I stand corrected ..... pesky damn time zones.

 

[volinbham]

So now we've officially left both our citizens and our allies behind.

Prayers for those we abandoned.

 

[VolinWayne]

Ridiculous. NP has zero to do with this and WTF would want her input on it anyway?

He's saying NP needs to reconvene Concress.

Last US Troops Have Departed Afghanistan

The removal of U.S. troops meets the Aug. 31 deadline the Biden administration agreed to with the Taliban

Last US troops have departed Afghanistan

Elvis has left the building. Last C-17 has departed Kabul.

I was under the assumption the deadline was 3:30 pm Afghanistan time ... but wherever.

Last U.S. Troops Leave Afghanistan After Nearly 20 Years

"WASHINGTON—A U.S. military aircraft carried the last American troops out of Afghanistan on Monday, marking the formal end of the longest war in U.S. history but leaving hundreds of Americans and tens of thousands of Afghans to face a future of uncertainty and danger.

Despite assurances to the contrary by Mr. Biden and other top administration officials, Americans and Afghan allies were left behind, though the State Department couldn’t provide precise figures.

The U.S. earlier Monday said it was working to assist hundreds of Americans still there. Advocacy groups said as many as 60,000 Afghan interpreters, drivers and others who assisted the U.S. military, CIA and U.S. diplomatic personnel over the years, along with their families, remain in the country, at risk of retribution from the Taliban."

a black mark on our history for sure

dang

 

[Grand Vol]

Hmmmm, lets not get too carried away just yet.

I will say that I've seen multiple reports of the civ charter planes being turned away empty or not allowed to load.

If that's the case...

Is this true? Seems crazy to me.

 

[Vol423]

Is this true? Seems crazy to me.

I heard that on the news last night. It appears to be true...and yes. It's crazy (and incompetent)....just like every other damn thing this administration does.

How many troops are needed to secure a city of four million?

 

[volinbham]

Is this true? Seems crazy to me.

It makes sense in the same way giving up Bagram does - seems we were in "no more troops under any circumstances" mode for the withdrawl.

I'm more talking about the reports about the women being killed. Oh, I'm sure there were plenty of Americans turned away. I believe that portion of the story.

 

[Grand Vol]

Yeah, about that military equipment the Taliban didn't know how to use...

 

[Vol423]

No. The United States military is out of Afghanistan. Americans remain.

 

[VolStrom]

Is this true? Seems crazy to me.

What good is Kabul without an airport? The Afghanistan's don't have a clue how to operate an airport. There won't be another plane fly in our out of that country for years unless it flies in blind.

 

[VolinWayne]

For what purpose?

Heck if I know. Maybe they can save us all a bunch of headache and they can start the impeachment of both Biden and Harris. Of course then we have to figure out what to do with the evil witch to

how much of it do you need to secure?

seems an odd either or situation

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Biden claimed that the military people on the ground told him to give up Bagram in his speech the other day. I'm sure those same people made this call, also.

I want to post this in blue font because I can't believe people on the ground would actually give that advice, but right now, I'm not sure...

Wow…
