The idea of democracy there was whack and diverted from important mission of denying Al Qaeda a haven. That mission of denying AQ/ISIS a haven was mostly successful by keep about 3000 troops in support of Afghan government with drones.

Obama/Biden is sabotaging this, it is obvious these two want a rise of ISIL or some other chicom backed terrorists.

The sole interest the Taliban has in US personnel is to use them as bargaining chips.

“...Do you expect a belief system that murdered 250 million people, start the majority of 20th century major wars, enslave over a billion people, abort over a billion children, to ever learn anything?
I expect no learning for the liberal, except when he’s personally dragged off to death camps while screaming, “It wasn’t supposed to be this way!”...”

LOL....oh, hell no....of course not. I’m more than in full agreement with you.
I was taking cheap shots at em. You’re speaking truth to power, and I agree.

They are a nation of tribes. We tried to make them 1776 America. THAT is not in their nature and it never has been.


The neocons are running around now airbrushing history and claiming that was not the goal. That being in Afganistan was strictly security related. Brian Kilmeade’s radio show is particularly nauseating in this regard.

Sounds like the relief force is going to hole up at the airport. I can’t believe they can do much else with such a light force and lack of locally based air cover.

I hope you’re right, in that it would offer hope for any captured Westerners. But many Taliban surely have a lust for blood and revenge. And Islam tells them to slay the infidel.

This ain’t going to be pretty.

They may play out the PR stunts until 9/11/21 (20th anniversary), then all bets are off.

None of this news will ever be seen on the mainstream media. Expect a total news blackout on Afghanistan on CNN, MSNBC, and the broadcast networks. They’ll keep silent on it for about a month, then try to blame it all on Trump.

I wonder if the new woke military is sending their transgender people into kabul.

Let me guess, we will see the US Embassy being evacuated by chopper not that Xiden said it won’t happen.

I liken the situation to that of an atom and an ion. It’s like an atom that becomes an ion, as long as extra energy was provided. However, that energy could not be provided permanently and that ion would return to its natural atomic state once the energy was removed.

That’s all that is happening here. The Afghan people are returning to their natural state without the assistance of the United States and its allies. All we can do is put a proverbial wall around Afghanistan and let them be, but with the sure promise that massive retribution if their way of life spills over into terrorist attacks of neighbouring countries.

Can someone get the commander in chief an eight year old girl with big nipples?

We need him calm and lucid. These are big decisions.

Any American embassy death should be a charge of treason against ChiComjoe and the members of his kakistocracy.

"Damn that idiot Milley. He was fighting his OWN TROOPS
while the Taliban prepared for war."

Milley is so guilty about being born a white man
that only punishing white Americans, especially white
members of the military, is all concerns him.

I disagree. Liberals will vote for the Democrats without fail.

That’s what they might say.

He’s too infirmed to every really have a vacation now. If he’s not getting his regular treatments for dementia, he’s finished.
