Taliban Taking Over Afghanistan - Does anyone care?

[volinbham]

Can you read?

I'm really doubting it.

wondering if you can - from the article

"In addition, many of the removed audit reports merely quantified military equipment without identifying personnel."

"Again, to reiterate, these reports do not include recipient information, and the Taliban already likely controls the war chest in question".

how is "protecting Afghan partners" a justification for this?

Just curious....did he also push Ghani for a quid pro quo if he would investigate trump??

Is joe going to withhold congressionally approved funding for Afghanistan now, and will congress impeach him if he does? Will we have the balls to hold both accountable if he directs funds to terrorists ... even if he claims they are legitimate rulers now?

Most of the remaining 48% should resign from the US and build their own socialist paradise somewhere.

Look I agree this was a royal f job. But to pretend this somehow the worst foreign policy mistake of the last 20 years is dumb as hell. No he shouldn't be impeached over it. Sets a ridiculous precedent. And before I get jumped on, I mocked both Trump impeachment's on here. They were nonsense too.

Cats, however, are all idiots.

Careful you will offend EL.

The fact that you're drawing a line between the ignorance of whether trump suggested injecting bleach or disinfectant shows why this convro is necessary. You act as if either is ok.

You are, of course, aware that dialysis removes blood from the human body, removes what failing kidneys can no longer do, and returns the blood to the body? You may not be aware that there was a viral treatment that removed blood from the body, treated it with UV light to kill or damage the virus, and returned the treated blood to the body. Trump and I are about the same age, and I distinctly remember seeing that kind of treatment discussed on the news, so it's very possible Trump also remembered it. This is a bit like the guy who asks the "dumb question" and his dumb question results in a breakthrough. Remember there are no dumb questions - just dumb answers. Trump questioned; he didn't recommend.

Taliban fighters upset, feel betrayed that US military left non-working helicopters: report (yahoo.com)

I don't know why this made me laugh, but it did. The Taliban feels "betrayed" because we rendered the equipment we left at the Kabul airport inoperable, lmao. How dare we destroy our equipment and not let them have it.

Hey, Joe: WHAT TIME IS IT?

It's show nap time!

Safe to say now that democrats are the human form of cats?

Always have been. No one really likes them, they just hang around and serve no real purpose, and they bite the hand that feeds them.

I personally think democrats are below cats because I think cats are actually funny. Democrats? No so much. I think it takes a real disconnect from reality to think the way they do and I’m not following suit. Let a man in a dress walk in to the bathroom behind my daughter or wife and suddenly 1vol8 goes “on vacation” for a while.

I’m sure they chose to stay in Afghanistan

I was told a quid pro quo with a foreign leader was an impeachable offense.

Don't be silly, that is just for the other guy. You didnt really think they were going to follow the same rule for themselves did you?

LG still needs a link. The one's you all provided yesterday weren't good enough.

How long before this is blamed on white supremacy, intolerance, and climate change?

Not sure about Intolerance or White Supremacy.

But the yarn about Climate Change has already been spun.

How climate change helped strengthen the Taliban

Well, they are not saying White Supremacy caused it. But CNN was able to link the Taliban & White Supremacy in the same headline -

White supremacist praise of the Taliban takeover concerns US officials - CNNPolitics

 

[RikidyBones]

I don't see the benefit of doing this and the names.

I’m also sure they could have got out a month ago if they wanted. I mean, since we are just making assumptions.

Makes you wonder what the state department has told her when she calls them to ask for help.
