I would have left on the first flight out when Biden announced the pullout.

Considering Khaddaffi loyalists got the Americans out of Benghazi, this should surprise no one.

>Possible repeat of hostages.

I don't think so.

The Taliban will get much more P.R. out of daily videos featuring the torture and beheading of all captured American men, and even worse for any women left behind, with a reminder that this U.S. regime won't do anything to help them.

Which is the higher priority:

a) Leaving Afghanistan before the Taliban catches you.
b) Getting your rona shot.

You can do both. But who doesn’t prioritize a)?

If they ain't there by now, chances are they will never get there.

Biden and Lewinski AND Pelosi all need to be made to resign and frogmarched out of dc never to return, upon pain of impalement.

I add pelosi because of her gushing praise of how well biden has done with afghanistan. She already disqualified herself from ever running the cluntry if she feels that way. If she comes out and says she just said it because of politicis shes unmasked as an untrustworthy liar who says whatever she thinks will serve her best. Either way shes gone too. I dont like turtle but hes unfortunstely the best of these four at the moment. Best case unicorn wish is Trump is named speaker, turtle steps down, and Trump takes ove the office stolen from him by China Joe and Lewinski.

Probably missionaries, charities and contractors and the like. I feel for them and will pray for their safety, but decisions have consequences.

I heard the Taliban had a twitter account

https://mobile.twitter.com/Zabehulah_M33?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

So I used translate for multiple posts. It has left me completely confused as they are talking about the mujahadin taking over.

Suspect most of those people are “dual” citizens and wanted to be there. Most concerned about those 5,000 brave young Marines and soldiers deployed there in the last minute. How are they to be resupplied or evacuated since the last secure, fortified American air base was abandoned in the middle of the night. Essentially they are at the mercy of the Taliban who have defacto control of the Kabul airport. Suspect the Taliban are negotiating a huge price for their “mercy” and Biden will pay it.

No problem.

Just take a few hundred billion $$$ out of that "Infrastructure Bill" and pay to get these hostages back - or (like the Mexican cartels) some of their pieces.

And then Biden has the nerve to claim he's "taking full responsibility" for what's happening

In any respectable organization, "taking full responsibility" means you resign your job because you screwed up so badly

But not with these childish incompetents ... it's just another impressive-sounding phrase, devoid of meaning or responsibility, to them

Hillary dropped the same crap right after Benghazi ... "I take full responsibility" ... what a crock!!
