I have been reading about the cluster-foxtrot that Biden has allowed in Afghanistan and that the government is considering requesting that commercial airliners be pressed into service to rescue trapped US citizens and I thought to myself, what would be a better way to show how to lead than for Trump to send his personal jet to Kabul to rescue a planeload of Americans? He could have the crew shuttle them to a safe airport and go back after a couple of loads.
What do Freepers think of this idea?
I wouldn’t trust this administration to protect them
Every shoulder fired SAM the tallyban has would be aimed at the plane. It’d be a huge target on the ground.

Nice Sentiment but BAD IDEA.
The Obama/Jarrett/Susan Rice crowd would have a team of Taliban with SAMs at the ready with real time intel. on flight arrival and departure.
He would need permission to fly in and land.
The problem isn’t with a lack of US resources to get people out. It’s due to a complete lack of leadership.
I don’t wee that as interfering with foreign policy.
..................................................
Foreign policy under the current Marxist regime is understood by those who really know what’s going on to be nothing but a cheap charade.
In your dreams. It is so identifiable that it would be shot down by a shoulder-fired missile.
Trump sent the USNS Comfort to NY. The ship wasn’t there a month before the fatuous Cuomo told Trump it ‘wasn’t needed’.
Instead, Cuomo sent people into nursing homes, to their deaths.
Why would people even higher on the totem pole, working under this administration, take any Trump suggestion?
Kinda sorta, do they have CRAMs there for indirect fire? With this hosed up operation I would not count on it.
I think you certainly know how to spend other people’s money.
I think this is a horrible idea.
The vast majority, if not ALL, “americans” trapped in Kabul, or anywhere in Trashcanistan aren’t actual Americans as you or I would recognize them. They’re welfare cheats who had a brother or cousin (or neighbor) sponsor them for citizenship so they could cash in on any type of benefit to actual Americans. They travel to the U.S. every four months to keep establishing residency, but have loyalties only to Trashcanistan/taliban/jihadism. We’re MUCH better off with them stuck outside of the country.
Anyone of any worth was extracted months ago.
As for the translators, individually, maybe? As far as their families, most likely riddled with jihadis. I don’t want the family members.
Logan Act.
The people have spoken wrote:
“Isn’t there a law against private citizens interfering in foreign policy?”
Logan Act; Hillary (and other Dems) violated it by talking with some foreign dignitary.
Methinks that President Trump is one of a very small handful of people on the planet that could request to borrow one of the anti-gravity ships used by Space Force, but they don’t seem to have the capacity to haul a lot of folks.
A Tardis, however, would do the job just fine.
For every American the Taliban kills, we utterly destroy one of their mosques, rendering it into splintered bricks. Ideally, with plenty of them inside.
