Are the republicans pulling a full court press on Biden yet? They should be.

Would we know if they were?

Wee bit more than 13

Say we've got to start shooting again just to get the last of the troops out. What are our options for air support? Aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea? With planes flying through Pakistani airspace?

Pepaw gon' pepaw.

There's footage out there of the aftermath if you look for it.

At least 20-30 dead Afghans.

Instead of blame gaming, let's just all admit the current administration has an abject failure of a foreign policy decision on it's hands and cannot seem to do their job on righting ship.

Im my line of work and most peoples...not even trying to fix the issue is an abdication of your responsibility and results in firing.

People need to stop goal tending. Trumpnhad a plan with teeth in individual stages, any stage not met. Plan null. Biden took all teeth out of plan and stops and said go. Whether or not this is on purpose or not for some evil reason is yet to be discovered.

Biden administration not accepting their failure at this point and not taking steps to address it are Impeachable. And should be convictable. Any US citizens or military personel killed or hurt need to be the reason for the charge.

Kamala should not avoid this. She abdicated ALL of the responsibilities provided to her so far. How about the border, or handling of covid, or handling of foreign allies, or Afghanistan and not speaking up and stating she was last one in room.

Dems need to take their turd sandwich, sit down and start eating. If this keeps going. Eventually citizens will start arming themselves wity ill intent and it will get very messy.

President Pelosi!

FUBAR !!! Thats all these goobs know

Afganastan and Bengazhi = democrat leaders looking for personal deals

i previously guessed Biden admin could survive this debacle politically if no Americans were injured/killed. if reports are true about US casualties, don't think they either he or harris can overcome this.

bet the house on Desantis in 24

Consider --- suicide bombing when you have won a war? Its kind of -- contradictory for a Taliban to do just now. On the other hand, the reverse is true for any number of other causes. We will see.

---

While truly sad, i think i read how in Iraq, mentally disabled people would have to be chained up because the terrorist insurgents liked to use them as suicide bombers because they would be oblivious.

---

After they had WON? That's the essential thing here. A suicide bomber is actually a valuable resource for an entity to have at their disposal. You use them for turning tides or sending message --- victories by nature everyone wants to bathe in it.

On the other hand, some of the usual suspects of Syria front would make more sense.

---

This seems like a false flag by the CIA. Why would they do this after they won? It makes zero sense, especially when they are trying to legitimize their government.

---

I don't think this is a false flag.

This was well planned and well executed.

Look what this accomplished

1- killed a bunch of American sympathizers who were at or near the airport trying to get out of the collapsing county. Will cause the remaining ones to leave and to be collected later by the Taly for "re-education".

2- caused the airport to close. Further locking out the American and allies trying to get in. Sets them up for easier collection later for ransom.

3- killed a couple of US servicemen. Always a bonus for the enemy.

Don't waste your time engaging this guy. He carries more water for the Taliban than a camel.

It's pretty disgusting that libs would blame Trump for this. He brought real peace to the ME for the first time is decades. Biden broke it on his watch. You'd have to be a complete idiot to really believe this is Trump's fault. Even the liberal hack media is blaming Biden.

---

The answer is in the bolded text.

If given no choice between Biden and Harris I'd take a human being who at least is lucid.

RE: above post about rockets. They don't really need to use those. The king of battlefield is always indirect fire. It's really effective in the tight grid squares we are talking about at the airport, and it's cheap/idiot proof with mortars.

I'd expect this to happen in short order, if they are finally welding the gates shut/ending this fiasco. The caveat is that they are so unsophisticated I bet they need daylight to guide/walk in their rounds, so maybe we can get everyone (uniformed) out tonight.

The country is awash with low-end weaponry, especially basic mortars. You don't need a sophisticated weapon. Proximity and the density in this case, as well as lack of preparation/defenses, make this entire operation very very high risk.

Report coming out. All gates being welded shut. RIP Americans outside the wire.

Who is doing the welding? If it's not America. Or American partner, why are they still alive?

President Trump killed Soleimani for killing an American contractor

What will Biden do for them killing 3 marines

Blame:

- Jan 6th
- Republican voters (this adminstration's new terrorist watch list)
- Trump

Basically deflect with the boogeymen they've created to distract the public from their complete failure to lead this country.

And the useful idiots will dutifully push this message, as evidenced in this thread

The Taliban is allowing the airlift. If they change their mind or think we are breaking the agreement they can shut it down.

Is Baron hotel explosion included in death toll?

Just to clarify, the reports are the Marines are injured, not dead. Have not seen anything saying they are dead.

Joe's foreign policy is so much better than Trumps. Countries like us again.

I'm just glad we have a masterful tactician and leader like joe to lead us through this. I mean could you imagine if trump was in charge? We'd all be dead from WW3, nuclear bombs and rona.
