As my old salty NAVY Chief use to tell all of us Jr. NCO's "If I walk thru a pasture with 20 or so Cows, then step into something soft and moist; I don't need to look down to figure out what I just stepped in!"
While the Biden Administration and the MSM that willing helped install this incompetent fool continue to refer to the Americans that Biden has abandon in Afghanistan as "stranded" the correct terminology is "hostage!"
When you are unable to move about freely, must dodge check points manned by armed militants, hide from your former friends because you fear they may hand you over to save themselves or to leave a situation then you are a "hostage" plain and simple.
Yes, it is. It’s the result of fraudulently electing a senile old man controlled by puppets with barely more sense than himself. It spends its time nowadays (when he’s not on vacation - or his press secretary) ducking the hard questions while fumbling and stumbling through the gimme interviews and obedient press conferences where he just walks away silently wondering what kind of pudding Doktor Jill is gonna give him before she puts him down for his afternoon nappy....
Jimmy Carter is still alive - maybe Biden should as him what to do?
It wasn’t just the Ministry of Propaganda that helped install the Idiot Biden, the GOP assisted in the Big Steal.
BOTH parties wanted Trump gone.
Trump called them hostages a week ago.
That warranted its own vanity thread? Just asking because that’s not a news bulletin. We know they’re hostages and always were.
Bannon has referred to our Americans left behind in Kabul as hostages for days.
I had a debate with a POS Liberal this morning on this very subject.
Look 9/1 will be a day in infamy as American Men are beheaded and Woman Raped live streamed!
As Rush said “Don’t doubt me”!
Good point. We all should be using hostages in commenting and our daily discussions with others. Abandoned is also a better word than stranded.
This sickens me so much, Kevin.
I've lost track -- are we talking about Afghanistan, or COVID?
That’s how the Muslims have always done it. It’s actually the reason for the Marines.
In the late 18th and early 19th century, the Muslims were marauding throughout the Mediterranean and had virtually shut down shipping. At one point, it is thought that they had something like 250,000 Europeans and Americans in captivity. Jefferson got sick of it and that’s why the Marines were established and sent to Tripoli.
The hostage were often ransomed by family members or by groups dedicated to this. Early on, entire Spanish religious orders had been founded to ransom hostages, either by raising money or by offering themselves in their stead.
But since we don’t study real history any more, nobody knows this…otherwise, anybody could have seen this coming.
Sam Faddis on War Room yesterday fears we may not even be able to get all our military out.
100%
Good point!
No, there are aren't any "Americans" left there. Its all propaganda. Are you saying there are trapped NGO heads, diplomats, CEOs and tourists on holiday who were just stuck there, surprised by the Taliban takeover in lovely, peaceful, Afghanistan? LOL!
Sure, there's a couple hundred thousand undocumented, unvetted migrants who no doubt the DNC, Catholic Relief Services and George Soros will claim are "americans" who must be moved into US towns and cities immediately.
Now many Billions will we have to pay to get these Americans out? Many I fear.

Hostages if they’re lucky and weren’t left there to die.
Americans STRANDED in Afghanistan are F*cked!
