Somewhere in a White House situation room Biden is muttering “Steiner. Steiner will counterattack and we will drive the enemy from Kabul!”

So Joe expects an “orderly and safe drawdown.”

Here is his selfish plan——switching from the beach home in Delaware to Camp David.
Axios quote:
“He can relax there, but also has full comms.

People can come and go without detection, and he avoids the optics of a beach vacation amid a mass evacuation.”

Biden will pay the ransom money.

Obama paid the ransom for Benghazi.

I should say WE will pay the ransom money and the Democrat Crime Syndicate will get a cut.

Well, there it goes. First 3,000 + some Marines that arrive yesterday. Now it's 5,000.

As I have written many time previously, our troops are being used to evacuate Afghani nationals. That began on Thursday with 1,200 going to Ft. Lee.

The last time I checked any sane person on FR recognized that we are at war with Islam. It only makes sense not to have more Muslims immigrate to America. This argument about them helping our military is a red herring. We provided Afghanistan with $88 billion in training and arms. Those that helped our military also got paid. Transaction complete. They can join the Afghan military now and use all their on-the-job training.

Just because Afghanis are a bunch of cowards and surrender to the Taliban (more like defecting to the Taliban), doesn't mean we should allow Afghanis to immigrate to America. If anything, it is an argument against immigration. Why in the hell should we facilitate the immigration of pedophile prophet worshiping death cultist cowards to America and at the same time put our troops in harms way? Make zero sense.

That would be 5000 more troops to be massacred by the Taliban as they attempt to evacuate the Americans still there.

They had better have weapons-free rules of engagement. Kill anybody that gets in the way. Get everybody home.

At this point take the L...get the hell out. The “trained” Afghans can’t stand on their out just like the ARVN. It’s only going to get soldiers killed, our soldiers. Not going to be a peaceful transition and the Taliban have always been scorpions.

They are allah’s revenge. Taking out an American is a gold star.

"... and those at special risk from the Taliban advance"

WHAT? Where are we going to put half the population of Afghanistan - ie all the women and girls?

As I undertand it, he withdrew 3,000 forces and now is sending in 5,000.
This sounds like someone in the administration is in panic mode. Obviously it is not Biden as he is in Camp David enjoying several lid days. Perhaps he will be photo-shopped into the situation room the way Obama was.
