Let’s round up Deep State and hand them over to the Taliban.

UK Foreign Office tells people not to travel to Kabul airport and to move to a safe location

People are being warned not to go to Hamid Karzai airport as there is still an “ongoing and high threat of terrorist attack”.

The Foreign Office has said the situation is still “extremely volatile” and those who are in the airport area should “move to a safe location immediately and await further advice”. - - SKY News

Hannity saying Biden has only taken 5 questions since the situation in Kabul went sideways. Five.

Commander-in-thief Joe (Eddie Slovak) Biden. The worst thing I learned today was that the Taliban could have had Joe, along with fellow traitor John Kerry and traitor fanboy Chuck Hemal back in 2008 when all were polluting the halls of the senate. The chopper for their photo-op Afghan tour went down and the Army lost track of where they were. Blackrock mercs found and rescued them. Should have left them!

“Waiting for this question to be asked to Biden/Pentagon:

How do you tell the difference between the Taliban and ISIS-K?”

You ask for ID. If you’re not blown up waiting for them to pull out their scroll, then probably Taliban.

ISIS-K is a deflection from Taliban and Islamic Cult in general.

This attack killed a lot more Muslims than infidels.

Plus, if the Turks had stayed, would their identity have protected them? I think not.

Did the Turks believe their identity would protect them if they stayed? I think not.

The Turks were supposed to leave last. That’s a fact. They didn’t. Just relaying what Ollie North observed the day before the bombings. Coincidence?

The attack was intended to kill Americans, evacuees, and their allies. The rest are just collateral damage meant to terrorize and intimidate.

Well, you’ve made my point. The Turks left because they knew their “Muslim identity” would not protect them if they stayed put. They’d be collateral damage.

I’d additionally point out that the US also knew there would be an attack. Americans were advised to not go to the gates. But, at least here, we stuck by our Afghan allies.

The Turks left because they were warned of the imminent attack and maybe others to come. Suicide bombs and rockets don’t discriminate by religion. The only real protection is not to be there.

Agree, they are basically all terrorists.

Biden/Harris are INCOMPETENT IDIOTS.

Thousands American civilians left behind, 7K Taliban prisoners set free, $85 Billion in equipment left behind, Bagram and all COPS & JCOPS abandoned. Biden/Harris and all those leftist Democrats who voted for them OWN THIS DEBACLE. THEY SHOULD BE TRIED FOR TREASON AND PUBLICALLY HANGED!

There was an OPORD and it wasn’t followed. I was in NW Afghanistan for a year as a US Army Combat Infantryman.
1) Get all American civilians out first.
2) Get out all Taliban prisoners (CONAIR).
3) Get out all aircraft, vehicles, and equipment.
4) Get out the Terps who helped us.
5) Get all US Military out.
6) Drop JDAM’s and MOAB’s on ALL our air bases, COPS, and JCOPS (preferably just when the Taliban have moved in).
7) Close down Bagram and all other air bases.
8) Fly away and don’t come back
