Taliban in control way to go Joe

[El Correcto]

Nice job with the swift moderation guys
Meanwhile you got DIDO making fun of people dying a few pages back
And amazingly, a bunch of people who STILL think I voted for Biden
I love this place BrownCafe documentary incoming

Wah wah.

Can't help everybody in this world just not possible. We gave them 20 years to be responsible for their own freedom. Either they were going to put up a fight or not. Clearly they didn't.

I agree to a certain extent but just watched an interview with Lara Logan who used to be a "60 Minutes" correspondent and lived in Afghanistan and interviewed a lot of prominent Afghans. They told her that the U.S. had the power to stop the Taliban at anytime. That the Taliban was supplied by caravans coming from Pakistan through a particular valley and the U.S. made no effort to stop them. We were in Afghanistan for 20 years because the U.S. government wanted us to be. I think you can figure out why. As for the Afghans they lost a lot of men fighting the Taliban but lost their advantage when the U.S. withdrew air support. And many if not most were there for a paycheck. When the corrupt Afghan government stopped paying them and fled the country with untold millions they no longer had an incentive to fight. They have a very different mindset about freedom and all that. Doesn't release us from our duty to get Americans and helpful Afghanis out of the country though.

If they really wanted their freedom they should have stayed and fought for it. They knew this day was coming and decided to run off like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off.

They need to get them out now! The Brits got it right by going after their citizens. Right now the taliban fighters are celebrating their great victory over the great satan. One day soon they will go back to their old ways and something bad is going to happen to our people left behind.

It will be “Jihad” and thousands will soon be executed...

I fear that it is too late...

This is what happens when idiots run the country and are followed by sheep.

 

[fishtm2001]

We have the capacity to evacuate as many as 5,000-9,000 people per day. That's the goal.

donald's Afghanistan expert on the National Security Council, Lisa Curtis, told The Associated Press "the Doha agreement was a very weak agreement" that gave the Taliban too much, including the release of 5,000 prisoners. It ultimately weakened the Afghan government in place.

It had an escape clause: The U.S. could have withdrawn from the accord if Afghan peace talks failed. They did, but Biden chose to stay in it

“If he thought the deal was bad, he could have renegotiated. He had plenty of opportunity to do that if he so desired,” Miller, a top Pentagon counterterrorism official at the time the Doha deal was signed, said in an interview.

Yeah, Biden reversed about everything Trump ever did but he's going to follow what Trump had in place. Uh-huh.

I’d believe that. But do you have the thousand+ Americans left behind by bitch ass Biden.

 

[El Correcto]

Worse than the Iran crisis.

A week from now you won't want to talk about how well the evacuation has gone. It's nice to have an adult in the WH again.
