We don’t have competent people, whoever they are, telling this a-hole what to do. Biden handled the withdraw poorly and people will die because of it. This a-hole just couldn’t follow up on a Trump plan and couldn’t make a decision. Call Trump and ask him for advice? Oh noooooo. He could have did that, but it’s better Commiecrat leadership decision making to let it blow up and blame the predecessor.
Its always “I inherited” from the commies when it comes to their failures. If everything had gone perfect Biden and his cronies would have taken total credit for it, but since its a total disaster its Trump’s fault..oh go F yourself Dementia Joe, we all know you did NOT write that statement
My memory is slipping, he’s been in Federal government for about 50 years, right? So… he just walked into this mess?
Yup, this could turn into Vietnam in a hurry...
As a poster a few days ago correctly pointed out, those helicopters don’t have a place to go or land.
In Vietnam, we had ships off the coast nearby.
Afcrappistan isn’t touching any water.
Dementia Joe still trying to figure out how to funnel the 10%.
Is there a rainbow flag flying at the embassy?
We are not supposed to link to some of those sites so folks can do their own research.
I am sure the Taliban noticed that June was “Pride Month” at the embassy....and concluded that the US was trying to make the world safe for perverts...
First the Jimmy Carter inflation.
Now the Jimmy Carter “rescue”....
Who didn’t know he wouldn’t blame Trump?
Should have sent in B-52s to carpet bomb Taliban areas and maybe take out a few dozen mosques on a Friday. That would rid the world of a few Taliban
Pentagon experts are commenting on the sensible shoes worn by the Taliban. Biden is searching for his pudding pops at Camp David. VP Harris is still trying to find the Mexican border. Relax. They got this...

Very astute.
The Tallyband only has like 35,000 Pakistanis
MORE meat for the meat grinder.
We have to increase troop strength in order to decrease it.
There’s only one way in and out, Kabul Airport. Crater the airport and those soldiers are screeewwwwweeeeeddddd.
Biden’s claim about inheriting a bad deal is like a car thief putting 50,000 miles on a stolen car without changing the oil and then blaming the real owner who changed the oil every 5,000 miles.
That was my question. Is it now 8000, or 5000 up from the original 3000?
IMO this is all about optics. Biden wanted to “celebrate” the 20th anniversary of 9/11 with a withdrawal. Instead, he has put the US Embassy at risk. Odds are the Taliban would love to commemorate the 9/11 anniversary by sacking the US Embassy and getting that footage on news worldwide.
So to prevent that embarrassing humiliation, he is sending troops back and maybe put them in harms way. Better to miss the “celebration” than to watch an Embassy get overrun. Of course, he could have closed the embassy. And of course, even with 5000 troops the Taliban may still take it or at least put up a fight.
I have friends who have kids in the military. I hope they’re not sent into this.
So where are these troops going to land? The Taliban already took over Kandahar air base
Biden continues to exhibit terrible decision making. On just about everything. K. Harris might be worse. Trump...about time you unleased the voting scam and get back in office. The US looks like an overweight weakling in the world.
