Why aren’t we sending all our woke college kids to reason with them instead?, maybe a few plane loads of Social Workers would help too.

We knew that withdrawing meant a Taliban takeover. Which means we will have to deal with Taliban as the government of Afghanistan.

So why bother to bomb them? How does that help anything?

Information not approved for domestic distribution or dissemination, according to the government run echo chamber newsrooms around the United States.

That said however, official news for today advises all those unmasked outdoors that squirrels are now testing positive for the deadly Delta Variant and all reasonable precautions should be taken.

Such precautions include staying indoors and on your phones at all times, buying stuff on-line from Amazon, sharing likes on approved Facebook content, reporting any neighbors who may be irresponsible unvaxed gun owners, and encourage little children to report their parents to authorities if they see anything suspicious in their households.(stuff like flags or the constitution)

You can not conquer Afghanistan unless you are willing to be brutal enough to kill all opposition. The British, the Soviet nor are the Americans were brutal enough.

The Taliban are.

If true:Full title at link: US sends in B-52s in desperate bid to stop the Taliban seizing key Afghan cities - where British troops fought and died - as fighters seize prison and set all the inmates free in latest town to fall

B-52 bombers and AC-130 Spectre gunships are attacking Taliban terrorists.

The Taliban have been advancing across Afghanistan as the US withdraws.

The Afghan army and Air Force have struggled against Taliban insurgents.

The UK government has advised all Britons to leave Afghanistan immediately.

US President Joe Biden has ordered B-52 bombers and Spectre gunships to target Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan who are advancing towards three key cities.

The Cold War-era strategic bomber first flew in the 1950s but is still used due to its 70,000lb payload and range of more than 8,000 miles.

They are being supported by the AC-130 Spectre gunships which are armed with a 25mm Gatling gun, a 40mm Bofors cannon and a 105mm M102 cannon - which can provide pinpoint accurate fire from the air.

Why are we just. now reading about this all out war from a Brit newspaper/source

Well, we already found that “bombing them back to the stone age” would not work. They never LEFT the stone age !

B-52 bombing just scatters the rocks around in Afghanistan.

... Taliban...
...advancing...as the US withdraws
...

'Parting is such sweet sorrow' There's no way to do it gracefully

Imagine how the subsistence-level chieftain must have perceived the officers emerging from the helicopters and trucks bristling with guns, tailed by an armed retinue of subordinates, as they strode up, all smiles and announced "We're from the government of the USA and we're here to give you water, electricity, and all kinds of stuff and help you create a peaceful democratic society and ensure that all men and women are equal!"

We did win: Osama and his people are dead. They'll never again do what they did to us. That's why we went there.
We just lied about it, mostly to ourselves.
