Rep. Dan Crenshaw on Friday said President Joe Biden must authorize U.S. troops to expand the perimeter around Kabul's airport and retake another air base to help with evacuations. The Texas Republican, who served as a Navy SEAL for a decade and was wounded in Afghanistan in 2012, tweeted his thoughts early Friday morning. "Two things need to happen, and only Biden can authorize: 1. US military must be allowed to operate outside Kabul airport to get American citizens. 2: Retake Bagram airfield, thus giving us more options for evacuations. Biden created this mess and needs to take decisive action," Crenshaw tweeted.

A little late Dan. Why don’t you go.
Whatever he’s for, I’m against.
Have they been waiting and hoping for the Taliban to lay a hand on an American (a temptation which the Taliban have apparently resisted), as an excuse for us to plow back in?
Here are some interviews addressing the opium trade from Afghanistan:

Wrong answer
We have to regain credibility. Biden’s show of weakness makes China a huge hot-war threat until January 2025.
We can retake the airport in hours.
We can MOAB the entire country if needed.
Too little, too late, Crenshaw.
Good idea. Let’s restart the war. /sarc
He’s supposed to be a vet. He does know that the US troops are surrounded on Kabul Airport, right, and probably can’t be easily resupplied? The Taliban has artillery. They can make the airport untenable and destroy any aircraft that lands there.
I am sure our troops can bust out if they need to, but I am not sure how long they can keep fighting before they run out of supplies and ammo.
Biden’s withdrawal is a total sh!+show. There are no good options left. Those went up in smoke when we abandoned our equipment.
Is the same Crenshaw that was making jokes about the idea there was voter fraud?
FUDC
Hey Crenshaw! We got your number and you are NOT FORGIVEN for your betrayals!
Question for Crenshaw....what allies do you propose would halp us in that endevour
Any U.S. military action will be met with a wholesale slaughter of U.S. citizens now at the mercy of the Taliban. They really have us on this one.
Where have you been for the past 8 mos Danny?
This regime from the top down is a senile/inept resident, a whore who schtuped her way to the top, commies, and lgbtqxyz obsessed military commanders and he expects dem to do what???
Crenshaw
Isn’t he featured in one of those free trip to China with the leadership photos?
Would not surprise me in the least. We had 2500 troops and now suddenly we have 6,000 back in there.
Brilliant. Make a decision and reverse it a few days later. Not very bright.

I think you’re right about that. The US could retake Bagram airport in an hour. But that would involve killing quite a few Taliban. All the Taliban would need to do then is fire into Kabul’s airport.
Soon there would be no one alive to rescue. Game over.
