Last chance to get out of Kabul: Joe Biden rejects pleas from G7 leaders to extend Afghan evacuation beyond Aug31st after Taliban insists there can be no extensions - despite secret meeting with CIA - and BANS Afghans from leaving

Send in 5,000 heavily armed marines to secure a 10 mile perimeter safe zone.

So next comes a hostage situation involving thousands of Americans. Incredible.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

The other day, there was a comment by someone in the defense intelligence community on FR who said it would take approximately thirty minutes for the US military to completely obliterate Taliban presence in Aghanistan and Pakistan.

I think they're off by about 20 years. Maybe 20 years plus thirty minutes?

To rid Afghanistan of the Taliban, we'd need to also take over Pakistan. Everyone knew that from Day One - except George W Bush.

Biden has American and Afghan Blood on his hands. America is vulnerable.

[Bubba_Leroy]

The Prime Minister insisted the G7 nations have 'huge leverage' over the Taliban because of the threat of sanctions as he said funding for the country would only be made available in the future if it meets the West's expectations.

The Taliban now have billions of dollars worth of advanced military hardware that Biden abandoned. China, Iran and North Korea will happily buy some of it from them.

[Lion Den Dan]

This retarded, un-presidential, installed son of a bitch would hand this country over and surrender to a platoon of Chinamen.

[tina07]

Biden doing the Obama bow to terrorists, but it’s really more of Obama bowing, the one actually in charge.

[1Old Pro]

Sounds like a full cut and run now.

[Political Junkie Too]

the Pentagon has told Mr Biden the risks to American forces are too high if they defy the Taliban.

What does that mean? Are they afraid someone might scratch the paint on their assault vehicle?

Is there a hostage situation if no one picks up the phone?

[Mr. Jeeves]

Some people don’t understand that joe is taking orders from the taliban, not from the American people.

Joe is taking orders from China, who has the goods on both him and his worthless son. Obama was beholden to outside powers, too - but was a lot better at hiding it .

How many American and Western citizen lives will be lost depends on too many overwhelming factors to be solved/resolved in the next 7 (and counting) days:

1. What is the range of the artillery/mortars/RPGs/et al, that the Tallibunnies have access to? That will dictate the perimeter necessary to keep the 'Bunnies from bombing the runways or shooting down the planes, while we're running with our tail between our legs.

2. How many 2+ story buildings are there within said range of these weapon systems? How many gates need to be secured? How much of the airport is open ground bordered with barbed wire (like many US airports)? How many troops would it take?

3. What is the density of civilian housing and perhaps vital infrastructure within this weapon range that would need to be flattened to create a kill-zone? How many dead Afghanis? Women/children?

4. If, by some stretch of the imagination, the 'Bunnies were not able to close the airspace, what tempo of operations could the US/UK/French militaries maintain, in the next 7 days (doesn't sound like they've started anything; or at least anything being reported by reliable sources)? A secure place to house the aircraft/helicopters, fuel, spare parts, weapons/bombs/rockets, site security (which take troops off the perimiter and delay convoy secruity), and housing/bed space for the ground crews?

I'm sure there are more points I'm not making.

If and unless PedoClown and The Whore have a biblical epiphany and 180 degree change of policy, let slip the dogs of war, renege on their secret/not-so-secret dealings with the 'Bunnies, and "surge" US military forces, on a massive scale, to take and hold the perimeter, shoot any bearded Muslim that interferes with the evacuation/retreat/rout, shoot any Afghani mob that tries to rush the tarmac,

those American and Western citizens (and any US troops that don't get on the last plane out) still stuck in Afghanistan are now hostages/guests of the new Muslim Caliphate formerly known as Afghanistan.

This pathetic and humiliating rout from Afghanistan will end like all the others ended, in tears.

[Jacquerie]

Xiden and his Bammy leftovers desperately want to pass their domestic Enabling Acts to entrench their power.

So, the whole Afghanistan mess must go away. We know the rat media will do their best to provide cover.

But burying news about hostages might be too much. Their networks need the ratings.

[glennaro]

Agreed. Every time I think Biden has hit bottom as an America-/American-hating b@stard, he outdoes himself ... again!

And that’s just the Senate, there are 145 House members that voted for Liz Cheney in Feb. to lead them (away from MAGA)

Your comments describe exactly why I and countless other hardcore Trump supporters begged him to get away from the GOP and set up a true second political party for his over 70 million voter support base. He refused to do so and as a result he significantly diminished his chance to win the 2024 election.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

Who in the Pentagon would ever utter such a profanity?

Milley or any of the other “political” Generals and Admirals for starters.
