Guesss our woke generals never studied Lee’s and Rommel’s masterful withdrawals after their signature defeats. There is nothing in this sorry mess that suggests any military competence. Let’s just hope americans are not about to witness another Bataan.

“Not really (unfortunately). “

I guess it depends on what segment of the dumb masses you examine. I think there is a huge segment that only vaguely pays attention to anything that isn’t pure entertainment. Those dumb masses will see that there is a bombing and chaos in Afghanistan. They vaguely know that Biden is president, and they might even remember he’s a Dem.

Those people vote too.

BREAKING UPDATE: Fox News reports that there were two explosions. This appears to be a “complex suicide attack”

A Taliban official has told Reuters news agency that at least 13 people have been killed in the explosion outside Kabul airport.

Children are among those killed and many Taliban guards have been wounded, the spokesperson said.

I have not seen the below confirmed anywhere else:

Sam Faddish on Bannon Warroom reporting gates have been welded shut.

His speculated reason...to keep our own troops from rescuing people outside the gates

One explosion reported near Barron hotel - where Americans in past have gathered for rescue.

This makes two confirmed explosions

Trying to sort out what I am hearing. 1st attack was at Abby Gate. That one was a sucide bomber followed by firefight. The 2nd attack was near Barrone hotel, no report on what type of bomb it was.

Can you give the source for the girls school deaths? I’m being called a liar for reporting this elsewhere.

This will disperse the crowds around the airport. I suspect the planes will be near empty, no sense keeping many on the tarmac now. This will most likely be the starting gun for full evacuation.
