Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby on Afghan leaders: "What has been disconcerting to see is that there hasn't been that will, that political leadership, that military leadership and the ability to push back."

Now it sounds like you are talking about the US—and the leftist zombie march through the institutions...

Notice how none of these clowns takes personal responsibility—they spend all their time finding others to blame.


Now that trump is out of office, NOT A WORD from the POS Bush.

Milley is too busy contemplating his white rage. This whole administration is a fuster cluck from top to deep, deep bottom. Between this catastrophe, the border crisis/COVID situation, the tanking economy, et cetera,it's hard to believe that anyone could support the current regime. Anyone, that is, except those who are actively working to destroy the Republic.

Since we are paying lots of money to the Taliban, let’s send them all of our illegals.

The illegals can get lots of money from the Taliban.

They can live in inhospitable areas.

Those evacuation planes are going in empty anyway.

Win/win

“Yeah but like learning about white privilege, gender pronouns and transsexuals is like more important and stuff.”

Exactly. What’s relevant is not our military’s woefully inadequate and inaccurate predictions and preparation. No, the important thing is that our military is doing its darnedest to dismantle systemic racism and white privilege in its ranks as well as finally creaking a welcoming, supportive environment for sexual minorities. That’s the real battle of the 21st century, and we’re winning big! As the Air Force used to say, aim high!!

Biden’s weakness begets more weakness. What do you expect Kirby? You piece of schiff.

There was a time when churches in America provided the primary means of education. They were the temples of morals and education. Then the push for public education occurred and over time, their role of educator was replaced by the public school.

This new configuration was further changed when the left pushed objective morality out of the education system. Everything became subjective and relative. Now the moral basis of right and wrong, of freedom and the will to protect individual liberties has also been pushed out of the schools.

America is now left without any temples.

> we did not set up the “temples” to teach individual rights and freedoms <

I doubt if that would have worked. As the old saying goes, it would be like trying to teach a pig to sing. All you’ll do is annoy the pig.

When Trump wins re-election he needs to bust Miley all the way down to Private and then fire him along with the entire JCOS and their staffs.

Where’s loser Xiden? He should be on television giving a presser.

Nope, while their propaganda corporate big media are giving them cover, these political cowards are hunkered down trying to figure their final steps to carpet bomb the airwaves and internet that this is all Trump’s fault. Maybe even tie it to Jan 6th if possible.

Where’s W? Darth Cheney? They should be on tv right now too.
Big business GOPe, what did we get for all that nation building and $88 billion in Afghanistan?

Who are the retards that ever though the Afghan government would fight? At least half of them are Taliban.

Massive intel failure.

Even us peons knew the eventual outcome.

US civilians should have been evacuated 6 months ago, and at the latest on Trump’s original May date.

Nevertheless, out is better than in.

This is the worst defeat in American history. The North Vietnamese had no desire to attack the US after Saigon fell. But you can bet that the Taliban and ISIS will be plotting revenge.

So yeah, you’re right. Biden should be on TV right this moment. But I suppose the meds they give him over the weekend won’t kick in until Monday at the earliest.

When has an Afghan National Army or Kingdom Army not fled in the face of tribal jihad?

At least the North Vietnamese put an end to Pol Pot. I have no problems with Vietnam today.

Don’t blame the Pentagon. Don’t blame our intel agencies.

Most of all, don’t blame CornPop, Harris or any of the advisers or Cabinet Secretaries.

BLAME Gov Brian Kemp, Gov Ducey, various Secretaries of State, various state Legislatures, various courts, SCOTUS, and AGs.

They’re the ones that caused this.
