Nope. We won’t hear from Powell until about July 2024 when he will do multiple TV interviews claiming he’s a Republican but simply cannot vote for Republican presidential candidate X, because... reasons. Like clockwork.
Get ready to say “Hello” to your new Afghani refugee neighbors, especially if you live in a red state.
Biden wants to get 'the elites' out... no matter what the cost in everyday American lives.
Like he's done for the past 5 Presidential elections.
There are over 3000 American contractors there. Lord help them.
NAILED IT!!!
America's Fed.gov planners and elites just doing their thing.
It is a golden opportunity for Xi Jinping to ask his new Taliban friends to let all of the Westerners leave peacefully - making himself the hero and putting Biden even more in his debt.
Clusterf*ck!!!

US evacuation of its nationals from Kabul now described as frenzied. Reports of gunfire at the airport.
Did the Biden admin tell those still in Kabul to maintain proper social distancing from the psychopathic head choppers?
How many troops will it take to extract the 5000 biden sent in? The 1000 of the 82nd airborne might not be enough. Will need a whole lot to extract 4000 embassy folks, 6000 troops. Biden better get with it, if they take 10000 hostage biden will get the pallets of cash ready, i’m sure he and obozo have some left over from the iran graft payments.
Hopefully, the “WOKE” may soon be forced to hold a “WAKE”!
Yep. How are they even getting in, with airport under fire?
Whatta mess.
Prayers up.
Latest update from India.
Kabul: The Taliban have captured Bagram Prison and set free inmates. The prison, located on Bagram air base, housed 5000 inmates with most of them being Taliban fighters. Taliban have managed to taken control of the Bagram air base, which used to be the largest US military base in the country.
When the US decided to withdraw its troops from the country, the control of the air base was handed over to the Afghan Armed Forces on July 1....https://www.india.com/news/world/afghanistan-crisis-taliban-captures-bagram-prison-on-uss-biggest-military-base-free-inmates-4890286/
In another article posted today India announced it evacuated all their Embassy personnel...and having Indian Air Force fleet of C-17s on standby for evacuation service.
US officials have repeatedly told CNN that the US doesn't have strong intelligence on the ground in the country, which is one of the reason the operation has been expedited.
One reason for the lack of intel is simply because the US has withdrawn most of its troops, who would usually collect information, and as one US defense official put it, this has left the United States blind.
Absolutely astonishing. This isn't incompetence. This is complete malfeasance! Unforgivable! Joe Biden and Mark Milley should be run out of town like scalded dogs.
How many were able to even escape?
Worse! If Biden could perform to Carter's level, that might be an improvement.
“Shelter in place — and wait for the taliban to find you.”
Yeah, only a moron would listen to that. They don’t want other Americans clogging the airport because “seating is limited” and they want the ambassador, all his cronies and their pets and luggage to go out first. Flight crews don’t give a D about nepotism. They would seat an American and pitch the gold-plated tea set off the C-17.

Yep. Trying their darnedest to blame Trump.
Only.....FAIL....as we know they sure can *gather intel* on Americans.
That’s likely where their abject failure, on this, is rooted.
