Taliban militants have been ordered to enter Kabul, following earlier assurances by Taliban officials that they do not intend to take Afghanistan's capital by force
According to a statement, the Taliban ordered its fighters to enter the city because "now there are reports that districts in Kabul have been evacuated, police have left their job of providing security, ministries have been evacuated, and security personnel from the Kabul administration have fled."
"So that God forbid the common thieves and robbers in Kabul do not mix, the abusers do not harm the people, the Islamic Emirate ordered its forces to enter the areas of Kabul from which the enemy went and areas there is a risk of theft and robbery," the statement continued.

Wow! Didn’t see that coming! /s
Thanks for the advice.
Yeah, same here. I thought the road to the airport was lined with poppies and flowers. Americans could just saunter and skip their way home.
Wonder how those 5,000 soldiers and Marines are being deployed. suspect some are securing crude airstrips in the countryside so C135s can land, load take off and go. Imagine some helicopters will provide a dangerous shuttle service from the embassy. Its a real cluster screw up. Milley has to be asked why they abandoned their one remaining functioning airbase in the dead of night.

If even ONE life is lost, Congress should call an emergency session and get rid of all three biden, harris and pelosi.
We are NOT screwed if we have a pair.
Taliban just negotiating for more ransom money.
Good thing there’s no imminent threat there.
🙄
Where is John Kerry and Linda Graham?? Songbird McCain was thier Best Friend and he was best buds with the Taliban, what about Cindy? are they all Celebrating thier buddies achievements?
I need to get to my travel agent and cancel my Kabul vacation! Lol
Can’t wait to see Trump’s next press statement.
Savages being savages. They were kept in check somewhat by American troops. They’re gone, and the savages are free to act like savages act.
I can only imagine what his next rally will be like. No teleprompter. Straight from his heart. No constraints of sound bites. He will go on a Holy tear for hours. It will be a thing of beauty and exactly what America needs to hear. No other Republican has the testicular fortitude to speak truth.
The Save American statement from yesterday by President Trump is a real doozy.
Biden remains medicated and in hiding.
I day we go Ripley on them. No? Well, since the country is lost, a little agent orange on the poppy fields is in order.
Salt their fields. Poison their water. Burn it all down.
Big mouth Liz have anything to say? How about Dick,George, and all of the other Neo-scum. I hope vacation Joe is doing well with a fresh diaper and pudding pops.
....hmmmmm...probably C-130s would be more like it...
the C-135 is a pretty large aircraft to land or take off from a crude airstrip....
“The Boeing C-135 Stratolifter is a transport aircraft derived from the prototype Boeing 367-80 jet airliner in the early 1950s. It has a narrower fuselage and is shorter than the 707. Boeing gave the aircraft the internal designation of Model 717. “
