Well, Biden’s team did say that all Americans who wanted to leave Afghanistan would be able to leave. So I guess those Americans really didn’t want to leave.

/s, of course

“Are they real Americans? Like know who chopped down the cherry tree and say thank you for a slice of Christmas ham Americans?
Or are these anchor babies and green card “refugees” who spend half the year in the old country because the welfare done good so far and they enjoy the place?

I want names and photos and stories before I care.”

I’m with you 100%.

Not necessarily. The Taliban are trying to take Afghanistan back to the 7th century. It doesn't take much to get one's head removed from one's body there. An uploaded photo could cause one to lose a hand. An uploaded video could cause one to lost a head.

And so it behinds

It’s a good thing the U.S. has a lot of allies they can count on to come help.

Oh wait…

I agree about checking the veracity of dramatic Twitter reports.

In this case, Rep. Michael McCaul discussed this with Chris Wallace today on Fox News Sunday. There’s not a lot of detail (yet), but it’s more than a tweet.

Here is one of many links that have started to pop up:

These aren’t Dick and Jane and their little dog spot sitting on those airliners.

Exactly.

Hey Joe! Why don’t you put your actions where your big mouth is? Go to the Afghanistan airport and practice some of that “soft power diplomacy” you’ve been yapping about so proudly?

Biden, get some guts. Send the troops back in and send the Taliban packing. Remove our people, all of them, and then the troops can leave. Come on man!

No worries, Biden will recognize the Tollybon as legitimate and announce diplomacy on 9/11.

Look—all the Taliban want in exchange are a few thousand of our finest goats.

There is a deal to be done here!
