What does General “Thoroughly Modern” Milley have to say about it?

IF General Milley had any honor (absurd, I know) he would deploy to Kabul to lead the Americans out on foot to Jalalabad.

He could pause at Gandamak to lecture the Taliban on White Rage and Transgenderism.

His escort should be called the Elphinstone Brigade.

Probably too late. It didn't even take 72 hours.

US intelligence agencies who said just 4 days ago that Kabul could fall in 90 days have revised the figure to 72 hours

To put the Taliban on the run we need to coat our bullets and bombs with pig fat. This way those who die a “martyr” in Holy War will go to their version of hell instead of their heaven with its 70 perpetual virgins.

It worked in the Philippines back in 1902.

Another good Twitter account with lots of videos of the Taliban re-takeover.

Talk about forecasting your intentions to the enemy! On April 13, 2021 jack-ass Biden announced withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan by September 11. Read it for yourselves:

And they didn’t even know enough to take the weapons and ammo out with them. Now there’s a real good chance American weapons will be targeting Americans overseas.

Lord know they are targeting us over here.

He’s reported saying he is monitoring radio traffic for any references to white supremacy as the people rush to the airport.

Apparently their expertise is down to stealing elections.

“What difference, at this point, does it make!?!?”

Fixed that fer ya.

Of course, no difference in substance. Classic attempted dodge.

Except the roles are reversed. The good side would be committing suicide.

Women raped by the soviets committed suicide by the hundreds.

The Taliban have entered the city, but the videos do not match the words....

Sadly, it’s looking that way.

Yet another failure on a Democrat administration and our vaunted intel agencies.

One thing about Pres Trump, he may have been a bit bragadocious to some, but he was rarely wrong. When he said he knew more than the Generals, he was roasted. But the man knew human nature.

He wasn’t perfect. But I’m pretty confident that there was a contingency for exactly this type of event. And I’m thinking it included lots of US Air Force and Navy folks, drones, bombs and missiles.

Maybe that’s just me.

Why wasn’t the Taliban destroyed from Bush, Obama, and Trump’s Presidencies with all of the billions of dollars spent?

The payroll was fake. The Afghan military personnel are actually PO boxes in DC.
