    Thats what I’m asking you. Do we really have Americans “stuck” in Afghanistan? I listened to that Fox interview and it sounds like she is choosing to stay in Afghanistan because of family. That’s the explanation the State Department is giving. Dual citizens with families that want to stay due to family. As a matter of fact this story gives credibility to the State Department.

    There is a bit of backlash about the strike that killed the poor children and innocent aid worker.

    But let's not lose sight of the goal here : which was to take pressure off good ol Joe. And it did serve its purpose of making him look (slightly) competent - "we stopped ISIS carrying out a bombing".

  4. True.

    And -whew- I am glad that Joe did not kill any Taliban because they are our buddies now. The Brits hate us now. The French hate us now. But at least we have not offended the Taliban. Joe might cry if we did that.

    These dem fuckers lie awake at night wondering how to confiscate my guns. Meanwhile they just armed Genghis Khans entire army with the most modern weaponry on the planet and handed them a complete list of Americans and Americans allies in the country. What could go wrong there? Yeh. But by jeezus, they want my 1864 Union Army .58 caliber muzzle loader because I am threat to the civilized world.

    Thanks for the warning Joe. Hide the children.

  5. Note to Mullah the Motherfucker, Joe is working on getting you as much cash as possible and a seat at the UN.

    From the "businesslike" Taliban as Lady Clairol Psaki has described them. Taking care of bidness in AFG,


    Taliban Official Says Strict Punishment And Executions Will Return

    KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — One of the founders of the Taliban and the chief enforcer of its harsh interpretation of Islamic law when they last ruled Afghanistan said the hard-line movement will once again carry out executions and amputations of hands, though perhaps not in public.

    In an interview with The Associated Press, Mullah Nooruddin Turabi dismissed outrage over the Taliban's executions in the past, which sometimes took place in front of crowds at a stadium, and he warned the world against interfering with Afghanistan's new rulers.

    "Everyone criticized us for the punishments in the stadium, but we have never said anything about their laws and their punishments," Turabi told The Associated Press, speaking in Kabul. "No one will tell us what our laws should be. We will follow Islam and we will make our laws on the Quran."

    Its amazing...

    In retrospect, all Jimmy Carter had to do was to declare that there were no hostages therefore no hostage crisis. He must be kicking himself now after missing this time-tested ploy.

    Got an epic huge problem? Deny it exists.

  8. Yup or Carter could have just declared that he has increased the quota for Iranian refugees or asylum seekers and 10,000 asylum seekers equals one American so not only has he not failed BUT IT IS AN EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS. Just determine the number of hostages and follow the prescribed tonnage equivalency formula. 10,000 Iranian civilians per one American.

    Not only is this thread NOT ancient, but you are chiding yourself for the bump.
