We should parachute the entire Biden Administration into Kabul to save the situation.

Hey I might be a Sailor, but I think this is within mortar range? Please any Army or Marine Freepers feel free to chime in!

BREAKING: As the Taliban takes over the civilian side of the Kabul airport, Richard Engel says “I don’t believe that the U.S. was as surprised as it is claiming.” #MTPDaily

@RichardEngel
: “This was absolutely predictable. ... People were warning from here. I spoke to them.”

Don't forget the social workers. They'll know what to do.

I heard Engel saying this on television yesterday.

He is one brave reporter. Last of his breed.

Biden paid the ransom to the Taliban.

There might be a few incidents, but the Taliban has been paid to leave Americans alone.

The Biden Crime Family will get a generous cut of the ransom money.

So they’re basically battling the Taliban at the airport?

I’m looking at the Google sat view of the airport. Looks like one runway to me. If the Taliban control the south side, they are only 1000 ft or so from our troops and can easily stop everything from coming or going if they choose to. Google Maps says ‘Temporarily Closed’ at the moment.

I’m not sure..info is conflicting

It would make sense though because a few hours ago it was reported US troops shot 2 armed men at airport
