Taliban in Kabul as President Flees

Me neither, on matters small or large.

 

here in Van Z post... we see Andrea Mitchell tell us Biden's own cabinet secretary Gates wrote a book saying Biden was always wrong on foreign policy.

Here we see:

 

Biden, "Always wrong on foreign policy". 50 years of being wrong it should come as no surprise he screwed the pooch on this withdrawal. What would Corn Pop do Joe? Even Corn Pop knows better than Joe.

 

You're right, they will point fingers at ISIS if one of their own goes rouge. A pickup truck with a mortar is all it's going to take to shutdown that airfield.

 

It looks indefensible. Its too narrow.

 

Hey idiot---What's this have to do with Biden withdrawing and leaving thousands of Americans and Afghan helpers exposed?

 

They need to be running patrols outside their perimeter. They might be, but that wouldn't be "under orders" from the buffoons at the top. If they're not then they are completely vulnerable to whatever is going on outside the wire. Shit gonna get real pretty soon

 

Need about 25k combat troops back in there real quick to clean up Biden's Saigon.

 

One of the things that is dirty and ugly is that the Americans are cooperating with the Taliban to make sure that people do not cross checkpoints unless they have solid documentation. In that way, the Taliban is helping to reduce massive crowds/mobs pleading for their lives as the last person is accepted through the gates. It is so-so for now because the Taliban are mostly out at some perimeter and many people are in fact still being evacuated. But once the rumor of "last call" goes out it will be entirely different as if it is not already a total disaster.

Then, the Americans will be relieved of the ugly duty of beating them back because just letting the Taliban arrive at the airport will cause them to have to flee from that area.

Ugly, just ugly.

 

I'm sure the troops on the ground are running some of their own ops. Problem is, if Tali come hard they're already at the perimeter and will be inside the wire in no time. It's close combat at that point. Our boys will hold their own, but without support and resupply they'll be overwhelmed sooner than later. I don't know exactly how outnumbered they are, but if the tali go all in it's going to be a fucking fight to be remembered.
