Taliban in Kabul as President Flees

  1. Biden going to speak sometime day to give us status.

    Apparently it is okay to use the word "stranded" now because it keeps people from using the word "hostage." I heard Kirby the Klown point out that "lots of Americans get stranded." Wow, how we have evolved of late.

    By the time Bug-Out Biden is done with his happy-clappy speaking, you will be hoping that we can do all this again sometime soon. Which is a distinct possibility or should that be probability?

    These 87 sure are trying hard to protect this democracy
    With the election and Austin/Milley these 87 are on the side of oversite and accountability.

  3. Why is that fucker Biden on tv barking at us like we are on his lawn or something.

    He is the one who fucked up. Not us.

    But he comes on and acts like he is chewing us out for being so stupid as to think he fucked up.

    womp.

    He’s unhinged, totally. Can’t stand the world pointing the finger at him.

    The communication on Americans still in Afghanistan continues to be confusing. These are two talking points Biden and Blinken have now both cited:

    • 90% evacuated
    • will evacuate any Americans that want to leave

    It doesn’t make sense. We’re we unable to get to that last 10% or was that last 10% wanting to stay?

    Some reporter somewhere has to clear this up.

  6. All we want to know Joe is who were the dopes that said Afgan forces could hold their own for 2-3 years? They went down in a week and a half.Big decisions, huge decisions were based on that Intel. It wasn't just inaccurate, it was stunningly wrong in a way that defies logic and undermines any and all confidence in our intelligence agencies. To just let that pass opens us up for who knows what disasters moving forward. If there was ever a need for a congressional investigation in to something, this would be it.

    The Afghanistan army was designed to work with air power to succeed
    Who decided to remove the air cover

  9. True, very true. No need wasting time in pursuit of truths which would undermine profit potential.

    It the collapse of the Afghan government in 11 days defied logic you would be able to pull lots of people who would have said so.

    There is no such commentary anywhere that I can find. The closest prediction was 30 days after withdrawal the Afghanistan government would collapse that I saw. And, the consensus being 90 days to a year.

    What I will say is everyone saw the government collapsing over time. Not because of lack of air support but because of corruption.
