WASHINGTON (Reuters) -There was no indication from the White House on Thursday that President Joe Biden plans to change the Aug. 31 U.S. withdrawal target after twin explosions at the Kabul airport, a source familiar with the situation told Reuters.

Biden was meeting with his top national security advisers in the White House Situation Room as reports of the blasts, which he and other officials have been warning about, were made public.

Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley monitored events in Afghanistan via video links in the secure room, in a meeting that lasted well over two hours.

No changes to the original schedule.

Now is a time when embarrassed Democrats really screw up and do something really stupid.

And it is usually unpredictable, as in you never know in what direction the Trajectory of Stupid will go.

Sure just keep sending people to the airport. Next will be snipers and they will set back and BOMB THE AIRPORT WITH OUR BOMBS AND MISSLES THAT BIDEN LEFT BEHIND. Just waiting for that to happen..

This is a Twitter post & film by Glen Beck....

I've heard reports that OUR State Department told Macedonia to stop taking Afghan refugees. @SenTomCotton tells me he's heard similar reports. If our govt won't save these people, WE WILL. But the State Dept. must stop standing in the way.

Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley …

This group makes the monkey cage at the local zoo look like a brain trust.

They need to push out to more defensible positions. Set up barriers and funnel people in smaller groups to be let in. Push that crowd away from our people.

No change in White House plans.

Won’t go from chaos and making it up as the crises go along to another plan. Too late to change now. As people die over there.

Changes????

He has no choice but to stay there now. He runs from this the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th....etc etc....order effects will be mind blowing.

Hell, as much as I hate to admit it and even say it, this could be the catalyst for dropping in the 173rd and 82nd to retake Bagram and go back in.

Again, even though it really doesn’t need to be repeated.....Thank You to Governor’s KEMP, Ducey, Wolffe, Sisolak, Evers, and Whitmer....Thank you to the SOSs in each of those states...Thank You to the state legislatures in each of those states...Thank You to the AGs in each of those states....Thank You to the various state and federal courts(although I’m glad the feds stayed out of it) that refused to hear any challenges or instantly declare ‘lack of standing’ to said challenges...For all of them are the reason this is happening.

But we the Republican voters share some responsibility, as well. And that has to be acknowledged if we’re to be honest.

The Dems’ plan consists of blaming their political opposition, so no, the plan isn’t changing.
