I’d hate to be the staffer caught carrying out the embassy’s rainbow flag.

I’m thinking an exchange of Americans in Afghanistan for all Gitmo prisoner release...

This is a nightmare.

No, Carter at least tried to do something even if the military failed.

This is a horror show. US government heads must roll - including those of Milley, Blinken and Biden - for this.

Remove them all for this vast incompetence. Impeachment proceedings should begin against Biden immediately.

China already owns Biden... and Hunter and half of Washington... IMHO Putin might step in - but China? I doubt it.

U.S. officials say they are considering whether more troops are needed to be sent to Afghanistan to help with evacuation, but added that at some point airport capacity could become an issue. Roughly 5,000 troops have already been authorized, but 3,000 on standby in Kuwait.

The “Cheney” is busy with Kinzinger on the Jan 6 Pelosi scam panel.... trying to protect their OWN Afghanistan mil-industrial “investments” (Daddy Cheney still getting paid millions from the utter incompetence ever since he was a junior G man “general” trying to direct Gen. Norman Schwarzenegger in Iraq War I. GHWBush’s fiasco that did not end with getting rid of Saddam... no, we had to perpetuate this). And Swallowswell the Chi-com agent humper is still flatus-ing on the House Intel Committee (still trashing Trump, and calling HIM a Nazi), courtesy of Nantzi Pelousi the 80 plus year old wet brain dementiaed Speaker, and 3rd in Line.

Oh yeah this is leadership. This is structured asymmetric warfare. And there is opportunity for complete destruction of the demonrats-— if there are any real Constitutional Republicans who will fight them— not the romneybots and Lincoln Project enablers.

The Cheney’s are attacking Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani- who were THERE in NYC on 9-11, the “introduction” to the Muslim Brotherhood infusion into the US gov.

My thoughts EXACTLY! The moment I heard that the military was leaving, I would have been at the airport.

This is the nagging question - how was it not known there was an offensive buildup in progress. We are to believe that aerial & satellite surveillance, sigint, comint, humint all failed? Such resources mobilized by the Taliban are not gathered and built up overnight. There was substantial organization that occurred which went unopposed. So yes this is deliberate malfeasance.

They will be massacred in place. No hostage negotiations, no nothing.
