This is the fear. Take out a Globemaster on the runway. Put some mortar/howitzer rounds on that runway and make it unusable and you have trapped potentially thousands of military/refugees in a box with no defensible positions, limited cover hours away from support except what was immediately on hand.

Mortar rounds dropping on the airfield is my largest concern. Deny our boys the ability to leave by air and we are in a world of hurt.

So we went from 15k to 500 without really evacuating anyone? I don't believe that 500 number one bit.

Well yesterday the POTUS said we had evacuated 100,000 American citizens... so why would we ever be suspect of any of these numbers straight from such dependable sources ha

Eh, he covered up fairly smoothly there (for Biden). That sentence continued, awkwardly, to mention Afghanis and others.

I yelled at my TV when he said that but we shouldn't misrepresent what was actually said.

He actually said that. I don't care if it was yet another blunder. His exact words stated 100k American citizens then he babbled on.

Well, it was written with intent to misconstrue the nature of the American evacuation effort (or lack thereof)...

This. But it was a ridiculously long pause for the coma.

I could almost live with it as a parent if my son died rescuing real victims over there that would be killed or tortured by the taliban if we left them there. But, it doesn't appear that we are getting any of the good guys out. We are flying back known terrorists and almost no US citizens. The good guys and girls aren't making it to the airport. If just makes the deaths even more pointless.

I don't think they would do something that severe. One would think (hope) if that many American casualties would happen we would reign down holy hell on them and send troops back in.

Taliban got their country back on a silver platter from the USA, they want us to leave......I can however see more suicide bomber type of attacks and at least them trying to pick off a few more casualties that way.

thats my entire point. Joe already showed his cards that you can kill 10-20 at a time and it doesn't matter....If an entire plane or more went down he'd have to send in more troops, or someone would kill him first.

HKIA is now at FPCON DELTA. Extremely high chance of a large scale event soon


Huh?


FPCON is Force Protection Condition, a measure of threat level.
Alpha is keep your eyes open.
Bravo is no, really, keep your eyes open.
Charlie is don't go to the bathroom by yourself.
Delta is hold on to your chones

Bases would have the current FPCON listed at the gates, and depending on who you are or what you're doing, access might be restricted.

He won't call. That would require courage. No one will be at Dover other than families.

President Biden has been warned by his national security team that the US is entering its most dangerous days in Afghanistan and another attack is "likely," the White House says.
The same team who warned him AFG would fall in a hurry once we left?

I guess this an argument to not take any refugees and ship them off to somewhere other than the USA.

I've been waiting for her to say "Some people did something yesterday."

So when do we get to start paying ransom for the return of US citizens.
I am very surprised that Tapper is reporting news that is blatantly contrary to Biden's narrative. Perhaps the media now understands it is no longer in their best interest to provide cover for this abomination?

The cynic in me is thinking they want to get this done before the news cycle starts up next Monday.

Most of the national Democrat Party (and many Rinos) are beyond wicked and self-serving. The best hope has always been that the 4th Estate might yet change course, wake up, and resume its watchdog role against BOTH parties in a vigorous way.

If Tapper is reporting news like this, it must be 100% true and probably 20x worse

Our leaders deserve to be lined up against a wall and shot if they lie about abandoning citizens when we have basically evacuated afghans that didn't even help the cause.
