SO WHY DON’T U.S. FORCES LEAVE KABUL AIRPORT TO RESCUE AMERICANS?
The only logical reason for our dilemma is that we made a deal with the Taliban: they’ll let the airport operate, and let Americans in to fly home, but U.S. forces don’t leave the airport perimeter.
Clearly, our forces are being held to this deal by our side, while the Taliban laughs at our naivete and only permits a trickle of Americans through. And our Afghan allies don’t dare go near the airport, where they will be grabbed and murdered by the Taliban.
This was a fool’s deal. We are in a trap, and the Taliban can close the trap at any moment they choose, simply by dropping mortar shells on the runway. We are in check, with no moves. If we retake Bagram, for example, the Taliban shell the airport and all of the Americans in Kabul, citizens and military, are hostages.
Leaving Bagram Air Base before all our citizens were taken out was the worst military decision I can think of. With Bagram, we’d have Apaches flying over Kabul on patrol, helos would be taking our people from the Embassy and the airport to Bagram, and they’d be getting out of the country on a non-stop military airlift under our control.
Instead, we put all our eggs in the Kabul airport basket, under 100% Taliban control.
Amen to all you said.
The Administration is more worried about a Black Hawk Down scenario than they are leaving Americans behind...they are more willing to leave American’s than to have to deal with the casualty of a US Service member. Think about this. Their loyalty is to the narrative that they can sell in November of 2022. Images of US Troops being beheaded and drug through the streets is something they want to avoid. In their minds they can weather some random American’s getting their throats slit, but a military disaster where US service members get killed.... This is how cold and calculating these bastards have become and our intel and DOJ have pains of patriotism from time to time but in truth their loyalty is now to power and they look on the US citizens as serfs already. Why do I think this...Phil Mudd basically said it. He is a direct link to the American Stazi.
“they’ll let the airport operate”
This. The tally-ban can shut down the airport any time they choose.
Don’t be surprised if China comes to the rescue. What better way for Chomo Joe to further humiliate America then have his Chinese owners rescue our military and civilians from Afghanistan? Who will Heels Up Harris be meeting with in Viet Nam?
Things only make sense when you realize that Joe Bidden is a traitor, owned lock, stock and barrel by the communists Chinese.
Kidnap the top 30-40 Taliban leaders and negotiate a better deal.
Just spit balling.
