Fascinating, a C-17 carried out 800 people.
American C-17 evacuates 800 people in single flight

Seven and three are ten, not only now, but forever. There has never been a time when seven and three were not ten, nor will there ever be a time when they are not ten. Therefore, I have said that the truth of number is incorruptible and common to all who think. β St. Augustine
That airplane video just hit me hard. Damn

How about "demand" or we level Kabul from a few hundred yards and outward from the airport.

Right, it was on the heels of Biden's remarks that this exact thing wouldn't happen. Harris can't come out of this smelling clean. She couldn't say "I had nothing to do with it" at the time without causing a massive issue, and she can't deny it now without looking like she's being treated like a piece of furniture.LostInLA07 said:
I'm guessing it is the latter...or that statement was prepared before this turned into a complete disaster. The initial talking points were clearly not prepared with this chaos in mind. They were prepared to defend the withdrawal, not a chaotic evacuation.
The Taliban doesn't have a strict hierarchy command structure. Even if Taliban leadership was sincere about allowing an unopposed evac that doesn't mean individual Taliban militants are going to honor it.YouBet said:"ask"will25u said:

Because we are de facto hostages at the Kabul airport. If the Taliban wanted to, they could kill or capture everyone, although they would pay a high price. It appears they are more than happy to sit back and watch us deal with the chaos.YouBet said:"ask"will25u said:

Sorry for derail, but it was absolutely beautiful. Poor PR/showmanship lost that one for Northrop/McD. Check out the videos here.

Smart move. Move on the airport and you have a national/world uprising. Sit back with popcorn and watch the world leaders make stupid decisions that result in discourse amongst themselves.
This is really too easy for the Taliban.riverrataggie said:LostInLA07 said:Because we are de facto hostages at the Kabul airport.

Surround the airport. Watch the American shi$show, and when the last american is gone, torture and execute everyone who was trying to escape.
Calls are escalating for a Biden resignation/25th amendment action.
Clearly, his absence is for a reason, as even propagandists at CNN/MSNBC have noted.

Yep. The Taliban doesn't even have to bother searching for all of the people they want to execute. We'll make sure they are all sitting unarmed inside the airport perimeter.

It better not stop with Biden.

And then killed with the weapons we gave them.
Hey folks lets try to keep this thread specific to information out of Kabul and Afghanistan. Staff did a great job of this yesterday.
We are all really pissed but we have plenty of other threads for discussion.

If Biden resigns we get Harris and whoever she appoints as VP. Then if Harris resigns or is forced out in a few months "after an investigation" we'll have a completely unelected executive branch appointed by Democrats.
They may very well go that route.

I don't know. Contrary to that piece, I think Occam's razor suggests they really are that incompetent. Even Obama recognized Biden's innate ability to F things up, right?Quote:
Even assuming the current White House is incompetent, they can't possibly be this incompetent.
Paper. An insane deer. Taco meat.
That's it. We handed this situation to both the Taliban and the civilians trying to get out. Taliban wants nothing to do with our forces that can blast them away as long as we want, but they'll laugh their asses off as we're literally flying C-17's with Afghans clinging to the sides.deddog said:This is really too easy for the Taliban.riverrataggie said:LostInLA07 said:Because we are de facto hostages at the Kabul airport.

Heartbreaking.
Very reliable source has C5s going in soon. As in orders have been cut. Will definitely help with the current crews who I am sure are exhausted.

Seems a little too convenient that all the Taliban leadership is in one building.

I will be addressing the nation on Afghanistan at 3:45 PM ET today.

The laughing.
A satellite image taken today at 10:36 AM local time by @Maxar shows the chaotic scene underway at Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport in Afghanistan as thousands of people converged on the tarmac and airport runways. pic.twitter.com/cKRag1snrd

EDIT
Individual images - zoom in to see all of the people all over the runways.
They aren't going far with that many because they probably had to leave off a lot of fuel.
Skipper who helped push helicopters off the deck of the USS Midway during fall of Saigon; this is worse.
Flights have resumed, per Al Jazeera.

The Taliban could destroy every aircraft on the ground there if they chose to just by infiltrating that crowd.
Which is sort of encouraging, I guess.
BREAKING: President Biden orders another 1,000 paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne to Kabul. 7,000 U.S. troops will be on the ground in Afghanistan soon.
