Taliban Taking Over Afghanistan - Does anyone care?

Bigger question is, you got your bourbon at the ready for tomorrow night? Might just roll with some Trace. May switch to Woodford Double Oaked if we’re really piling on some points. It’s the graduated approach to developing unrealistic expectations.

I like the direction this thread is taking, here.

Typical POS progressive move, No evidence, no problem. Dang.

If the Trump administration started vanishing government reports and justifying their actions with weak, obviously political excuses, can anyone with a straight face say it wouldn’t lead the nightly news?

That say their names thing doesn't apply to military I guess

Hey, Joe: WHAT TIME IS IT?

The US woman who was left behind is from TN.

She was not allowed to bring a disabled dog on board that had belonged to her so she stayed behind.

If the roles were reversed and this was a republican president this would be blasted on every liberal media outlet with outrage.

and to think he told us transparency and speaking the truth even when its hard to hear would be the hallmarks of his administration

Still crazy that Biden told another leader to stage a positive view of what's going on for public perception. This guy is a real swamp rat.

Oh, I am fully aware of that. Some love them more than people.

Do you dislike animals in general, or just dogs?

EXCLUSIVE: Remote New Mexico Camp where Ted Cruz claimed Afghan Refugees were 'getting Ubers' into town Remains Shrouded in Secrecy and Under Heavy Security - as officials say all 2,160 evacuees have been detained while their visas are processed

A huddle of white tents backdropped by the forbidding Organ Mountains and surrounded by bleak, red desert: this is the remote Fort Bliss subcamp where Afghan refugees are being housed while awaiting new homes in the US.

The Texas army base is caring for the Afghan newcomers in a purpose-built housing area at the Dona Ana Range Complex just across the border in New Mexico.

The heavily guarded facility has been closed to the outside world since the first of the 2,160 Afghans currently at the camp arrived - with a heavy security presence made up of 1,000 soldiers and military cops patrolling the roads surrounding it.

When a DailyMail.com team attempted to visit, military police stopped us getting within a mile of the property and told us not to take photos from a distance.

I’m still struggling to understand this.

What did she achieve by not reading the names?
And was that of greater political value than the negative value of the political fall out?

Just makes no sense to me.

Nope he is out. He went black on comms for OPSEC. He didn’t get done what he wanted to do but he is back out.

So now thousands of troops are maintaining security on unvetted Afghan's within the border of the United States. Boy, this is not going to end well.

Joe Biden's America .... great Job you're doing there you stupid moron.

Nah, I assume he's talking about the letter former flag officers wrote during the 2020 campaign but he may be talking about something else. I don't want to go on a wild goose chase.

There were multiple letters written by former flag officers in the last few years. Which one is really of no significance imo.

I’m simply asking how we viewed the former Admirals & Generals commenting on politics 3 years ago.

or lawyers writing letters about R nominations for SCOTUS or Bill Barr -- those were considered a BFD

I treat them all the same - some vocal minority writes a letter; it's virtually meaningless. Same for these 90 generals

This is intentional.
