He said there are “less than 250” Americans still there that would like to get out.
IOW - they left 250 Americans behind enemy lines.
They all seem to think that it’s kind of acceptable because they got about 6,000 out.
Unbelievable

9/11 parades in Kabul will include hundreds of Humvees and Armored Carriers, and thousands of RPG’s.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Just like jug-earred Zero did.

It’s all by design.

They want to arm and bow down to anyone that is willing to destroy America.

That’s about 5 times as many potential hostages for the Taliban or ISIS-K as there were in Iran in ‘79.

What war?

A state of war was never declared, Congress just authorized the use of military force.

“9/11 parades in Kabul will include hundreds of Humvees and Armored Carriers, and thousands of RPG’s.”

And with soldiers in our uniforms, it will look like a parade anywhere in the US on Memorial Day.

Except with beards.

Yes. The hope is that that Qatar, because they have a relationship with the Taliban, will get Americans out.
No one thinks they’ll be able to get any Afghans out.

Did anyone tell the Taliban the war is over? They might want to attack us again once they learn how to use all the weapons in their new arsenal.

There are still American citizens there, but the government has stopped any more private rescues.

This is what they think of us and this is how they value us.

They would do the same to any of us in a heartbeat if they could.

The Afghan war hasn’t ended, its on pause for several months. We’ll be back in before long at a much lerger cost.

F Biden and everyone associated with him and voted for him.

Because that was “OUR” equipment, not the stuff we gave to the now-defunct Afghan military. Demilling THAT stuff was THEIR responsibility.

Leave it to a general to squeeze ‘victory’ out of a shameful bums rush.

Jennifer Griffin thinks it is wonderful, said US government worked in partnership with others to evacuate tens of thousands of people. Said we should not quibble about the Americans left behind, that there is another airport, and land bridges we can use to get them out... She is carrying water for doolally Biden.
