Well, the Taliban has plenty of damn ammo to waste, thanks to Biden and the incompetent generals in charge.
Covidians, Communists, CNN, FOX, and all other MSM are enemies of the state and should be treated as such.

We have made a ton of Afghans into citizens during the past 20 years. Dual-citizens. America is changing and has changed.

How many were left behind in jalalabad or Mazar i sharif? Lashkargah or asadabad? Granted not likely a lot there, but Americans deserves the truth.

We're about to pay for hostages.

Jimmy Carter thinks Biden is a dumb ass.

That can't be right. Just last week, when asked a direct question, Psaki said that every American who wanted to get out would be able to get out.

Remember when we had a President who put this country and its people first?

This is what Yusuf al-Amriki and his team of Obama alumni are all about. If you are an American serving overseas in the military, the foreign service, or an NGO and things go wrong, then your safety is worthless to them.

What happened to this guy years ago...



...will be par for the course now.

The President and his foreign policy team cannot be trusted on any level to guarantee the security of this nation or the safety of our people OCONUS.

10 days ago Psaki, Kirby and Price, all came out to their prospective podiums when the came out with the 11,000 American Citizens were in Afghanistan, because upwards of 100,000 Americans in country were being reported by multiple sources and they had been in contact with them and were going to get all of them out, "that wanted to leave". And over and over they pushed the "all those that wanted to leave" talking point every time they mention the evacuation.

Today McKenzie broke down the numbers, and said 6000+/- americans were evacuated, 73,000+/- Afghans, and the rest were allied country nationals evacuated by allies.

Now suddenly they are claiming there are only 200-300 Americans left and they didn't want to leave at this time, Well those 11K they originally claimed they had verified, so suddenly what should be 5K left in country now suddenly!! These lying POS off on on their own "verified numbers" and there are still private contractors on the ground in Afghanistan saying that original 11K number was absolute BS. But even so, using the Biden Admins own number they had "verified" are lying to this day, and there's no way you can convince me there are 5,000 American Citizens that want to stay in a country ruled by terrorists. They are laundering the numbers in real time to lesson political fallout because the new polls that came out yesterday are the worst of any POTUS ever. The real numbers are far worse and when multiple polls showed 87% of R's, 86% of D's and 83% of I's are trashing your handling of this mess, you are in trouble.Biden's overall numbers are worse thanTrumps now and the Dems are in panic damage control.

That idiot Jake Sullivan placed the blame on the military talking with Chris Wallace and well as CNN and MSNBC. That's going to end up biting them in the ass when the someone finally gets enough of being the tackling dummy and they real numbers will come out and this narrative that the consensus of the Military commanders wanted to close Bagram, you cannot convince me they thought that wat a better deal than using Kabul Airport with the Taliban providing the standoff security. nonsense absolute nonsense. When the heat gets turned up especially if the R's get control in congress, it's going to be a bloodbath at the hearings.

Well, just a month ago we were assured that everything would be perfectly fine and Afghanistan was all sunshine and roses, too. Take what this admin says, assume the reality is about 160-180 degrees in the other direction, and you're on the right track.

So was there an official surrender ceremony/photo op, or did the Americans just skedaddle in the middle of the night like they did at Bagram?

I can't imagine how this must make anyone who was there feel. I wasn't, and this just makes me hurt for the people there. Biden (and Milley and a lot of other people) screwed these people over with how this was handled. There are countless Americans and others who just got thrown to the wolves by this admin and its incompetence and impotence, and no one in it will ever take any responsibility. Even worse, they and their sycophants will pat themselves on the back for a job well done and expect everyone else to do the same. They'll give Joe Biden the credit for "making the hard choice and pulling out" while blaming anyone they can for ****ing it all up to high heaven, getting hundreds of people killed, and signing the death warrants of countless others.

The way this was handled, the way it is being spun as some kind of victory, the ultimate outcome for those still there, and the inevitable ****show the world will experience in the coming years because of it just make me sick. If anyone ever wants to point to shameful behavior from America, it's THIS, and American progressives and liberals will take pride and joy in it while decrying every truly good thing we have ever done.

This is a terrible day in American history, and it makes me sad to see it. **** Joe Biden.

As the last American Military flight leaves Kabul, the Biden Administration is celebrating with news briefings and self accolades. These clueless morons should keep their mouths shut at a time of National Tragedy and embarrassment. Biden's failure as Commander in Chief parallels and dwarfs Jimmy Carter's misgivings, dereliction and abdication as Commander in Chief. It's just ridiculous.

Ok, I guess when Taper says "some Americans want to stay" he refering to Afgans with US citizenship. I can't imagine any other type of American choosing to stay behind.

Note this Twitter account has had good footage over the last week.
It is about as anti American as most progressives and our current administration so take that into account.

Most of the Americans killed in the Kabul bombing were 9/11 babies who never knew a nation at peace. The 13 American service members killed in Kabul on Thursday died in gruesome violence, victims of a terrorist bombing. They were, with one exception, 9/11 babies, born within a few years of the terrorist attacks that led the United States into a military conflict that stretched across four presidencies and throughout the lives of these 11 men and two women.

Five of the 13 were 20 years old, as old as the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. One 20-year-old, Marine Lance Cpl. David L. Espinoza, had called his mother from Kabul on Wednesday. "I love you," he told Elizabeth Holguin before they hung up. Becoming a Marine had always been Espinoza's dream, his mother told The Post, and he enlisted right after finishing high school in Rio Bravo, Tex., a small, mostly Hispanic town near Laredo.
"It was his calling, and he died a hero," Holguin said. She said her heart has "a David-sized hole nobody can fill."

Another of the 20-year-olds, Marine Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum, was a baby on 9/11 and had wanted to join the armed forces since he was 2 years old, according to his sister, Roice. Another sister recalled Rylee as a toddler, carrying around a toy rifle and wearing his sister's pink princess snow boots. "He signed up the day he turned 18," she said. "That was his plan his whole life." Rylee, who grew up in Jackson, Wyo., and was a decorated wrestler in high school, had just gotten married on Valentine's Day before departing on his first overseas assignment in April. He'd been transferred to Afghanistan two weeks ago. His wife, Jiennah Crayton, who lives in San Diego, was counting the days until McCollum's return from his tour of duty. She is pregnant, and the couple had hoped Rylee might be home just in time for the arrival of their baby in three weeks, the sister said.

The oldest service member killed in Thursday's attack, Marine Staff Sgt. Darin Taylor Hoover, who went by Taylor, was 31. He had decided on a military career after seeing New York's twin towers collapse in the 2001 attack, when he was 11. He enlisted when he was 19.
