McConnell urges Biden to ignore Aug. 31 Afghanistan deadline
The Hill ^ | 08/24/2021 | Jordain Carney

Posted on 08/24/2021 7:46:03 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday pushed President Biden to continue evacuation efforts beyond an end-of-the-month deadline and argued that the messy exit from Afghanistan is "a lot worse than Saigon in 1975."

"The president needs to forget about the August 31 deadline. ... Extend the deadline, get outside the perimeter, make sure that every single American who wants to leave is able to get out with our assistance and our Afghan allies," McConnell said during a Fox News interview on Tuesday.

"The Taliban should not be allowed to tell us how long we are there to get our personnel out. That's our decision, not theirs," McConnell added.

How does a guy with no chin nor lips, a polio limp, get to talk about anything that affects me?

I’m all for somebody overcoming adversity, but not if they’re gonna be a genocidal scumbag. It’s okay to kill the disabled if they’re homicidal maniac traitor garbage like this guy.

I wish Polio killed this gimp. He should have got the polio vaxx.

MCConnell: PLEASE keep the airport open, so we can fly hundreds of thousands of random, unvetted Afghan citizens into the USA, whose only claim to asylum is that they were able to enter the airport, so they can go on welfare and vote Democrat.

At this point, I’m rooting for the Taliban to shut this shyte down.

Washington DC elites take zero responsibility for all their failures.

I am pretty certain the Taliban will start to shell the airport on that day.

Is he doing it to create a fraudulent reason for the CCP to barge in? Bible Prophecy sez at some point an army of 200 million will come across the Euphrates into the Middle East. That has to be Chinese. Never trust Mr. Elaine Chao.

I expect the Taliban to launch a full scale attack on the airport on Sept. 1st. Also, any Americans still in the country at that time will be declared "prisoners of war."

I say that big talk's worth doodly-squat.

Turtle is only slightly less senile than Biden.
Americans are going to be imprisoned or executed if they don’t get out NOW.

McConnell can’t control Romney, Collins and Murkowski and lets them push him around....he ain’t gonna intimidate the Taliban.

“Yeah, what’s the tall-EE-bahn gonna do if we aren’t out by 8/31?”

My guess, based on the past is: A mass beheading party on 9/11. With American hostages as the ‘guests of honor’.

My bet is they are waiting until the troops are on the transport planes on the runway. With no one left to shoot back, they will start shelling the airport and shooting missiles at the planes.

It will be domestic, and it will be horrifying.

impeachment is in the house, not the senate.

McConnell has no more knowledge of what is going on than the man in the street. He should be replaced for voting with the no brained 19 rhinos who voted with the Dems on the Intrastructure bill.
