Headline sounds like Dylan song.
Did anyone expect anything else from the Obama generals. For the past 13 years they have been sitting around in the Pentagon performing Jeffrey Toobins on each other and awarding themselves medals.
The Taliban victory follows Biden breaking the peace deal former President Donald Trump negotiated with the jihadist organization. Under Trump’s terms, the U.S. would have withdrawn all of its combat personnel by May 1 of this year in exchange for the Taliban promising not to harbor terrorist groups like al Qaeda, to negotiate in good faith with Kabul, and to refrain from attacking U.S. forces as they left.
Biden announced in April he would extend the U.S. presence to September 11, 2021, the 2oth anniversary of the terrorist attacks that prompted the American invasion. He later advanced the withdrawal date to the end of August. The Taliban expressed outrage at the delay and indicated Biden’s actions released them from their commitments under the deal. The terrorist group’s crippling offensive against the Afghan government swiftly followed.
The latter was all by design. Create enough fatigue to where people start tuning out, then proceed with your agenda.
That’s a picture that will live in infamy.
Break a deal, spin the wheel.
Thousands are amassed in Kabul airport unable to get in or out. There is no security. Anything could happen and there would be no way to deal with it. The evacuation is a disaster. pic.twitter.com/qjwTpwtL49— Ian Miles Cheong @ stillgray.substack.com (@stillgray) August 15, 2021
Boy, all of us, including me, who supported these wars on FR throughout the 2000s and defended Bush/Cheney, are eating bovine feces right now.
I must say I knew several Flag Officers that did speak the truth but were fired by Obama.
Although deceptive. If it's from the video, the helicopter doesn't land on the building. But hey, the leftists live by deceptive, so screw 'em.
I know...I watched the video. I was praying for one of them to land on a roof...but didn’t happen.
I’ll take second best! ;-)
The State Dept. wants those trapped in Kabul to fill out a form before returning. This is completely unbelievable.

You know damn well they were given orders to not land on the roof under any circumstances.
True, it we were lied to by the execrable scumbags who started them. And in 2000,2004 the alternative choices were even stinkier poop.💩
Where are the 5000 troops Biden’s sending?
Still separating them according to preferred pronouns?
Lol...no doubt!
