What sort of offensive capabilities do we even have in the area? All this bragging and boasting and threatening trouble must have given the Taliban a good laugh. They know we have given up all our leverage.

Emmanuel Macron has called for caution in Afghanistan in a context “we can’t control”.

He added that the situation has “profoundly deteriorated” in Kabul.

At least Ross got his own people out of Iran so cannot blame them given his stance on the trade treaty which was a central issue.

I did vote for Bush and still cannot believe that F in draft dodger beat him and another war vet.

They canceled Biden’s Covid-19 update so you know it’s serious.

What’s that saying, “the enemy of my enemy is a friend of mine”? ISIS and Taliban might not like each other, but they both enjoy raping women and killing Americans. I don’t trust that the Taliban couldn’t stop this.

Indeed. Xiden told us not to worry because the Tallybahn hated ISIS. Then why, pray tell, did they let 5,000 of them out of prison? Why wouldn't they keep them locked up to "play with" later? No, they knew ISIS hated us far more than the Tallybahn and what would happen once they were loose. All they'd have to say is "hey, it wasn't us" and Xiden would make excuses for them to keep the "negotiations" open.

Bannon’s guest says this couldn’t have happened without Taliban approval.

Yikes. This is sounding like a full blown offensive starting as opposed to a couple of bombings.

I would imagine the Trumpian response would be an Arc Light mission or two over some of the vehicle car parks. We left too damn much stuff for them to disperse it properly. Heck, wasn’t it like 1:1 vehicles to Tallybahn?
