It's not like we have any intel now. Hell we jammed all of the cell phone towers. You'd only have satellite phone communications. The taliban can be trusted for intel about as much as me promising I can throw Rosie O'Donnell 100 yards into a dumpster.
The only people doing great things right now are former military going in to save our people and friends. I couldn't be more proud of those guys.
Throwing rosie that far is asking for some shoulder impingement issues there.
And agreed. Hats off to our former military crew going in and saving the people

The final sign of the apocalypse. I agree with Bill Maher. He's 100% accurate.
Now he is a classic liberal I actually agree with on a few things. I'm shocked he hasn't been canceled yet.

They made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Such mindless murder & death, thousands of miles away. May they rest in peace and their families find solace & comfort.
Most of these heroes were only kids when the Afghan war started. Driving the point home that I think we can all agree on, it's been long overdue to end this foreign engagement and bring our troops home.

Nobody disagrees we needed to get out. We just needed to do it carefully and strategically instead of idiotically.
May these brave men and women who didn't have to die rest in peace.

He is a liberal in the more classical sense. I love to hate him but he is at least real and willing to call out the current non-liberal liberalism that is really fascism.

In hindsight, I'm not sure we should have left at all. How many troops were deployed? Just a few thousand? They seemed to be doing a good job of preventing the chaos and governmental collapse we've witnessed the last few weeks, with minimal risk and loss of life. I have no idea if that's an accurate characterization of the situation before we initiated our exit plan, but that's my general impression based upon zero research.
With regards to the current situation, it does seem that Biden requested everyone's worst plan, selected the worst of the worst and then tightened it up with some signature touches of stupidity.

A former FBI special agent who tracked counterterrorism cases warned that terrorists in Afghanistan stand a high chance of being able to walk right onto U.S.-bound planes as a result of the Biden administration's dissemination of blank visa papers throughout the country.
“The threat of having Islamic State or al Qaeda come into the country is not increased through the southwest border,” said Kenneth Gray, a senior lecturer in the Fire Science and Emergency Management Department at the University of New Haven in Connecticut....
David Fox, an American trapped in Afghanistan’s capital of Kabul, revealed last week that he received a lookalike visa paper from the State Department. The same paper, he claimed, was sent to thousands of other citizens and immigrants who may qualify for the Special Immigrant Visa. The form is blank with no name, serial number, or bar code.
The lack of information on the form, which is used to screen refugees seeking admission on planes out of the country, means that U.S. officials cannot know if someone with that paper was intended to have it or if the visa was photocopied.

Fluid situation in Kabul.
www.foxnews.com
The U.S. military conducted an airstrike against a vehicle carrying at least one suicide bomber who intended to target Kabul's international airport Sunday, a U.S. official confirmed.
The strike in a crowded neighborhood northwest of the airport set off "significant secondary explosions," which indicated a "substantial amount of explosive material" inside the vehicle, Capt. Bill Urban, spokesman for U.S. Central Command, said in a statement. While the target was initially described as a vehicle-born improvised explosive device (IED), an official clarified that the explosives may have been worn by one or more bombers inside, rather than planted on the vehicle itself.
The U.S. military acted to intervene and prevent another event like the one that occurred Thursday when a suicide bomb killed 13 U.S. service members and 170 Afghan citizens.

Sad that we have to be engaged in this form or clean up. Sad that we have to now be in the retribution game.
If this assministration had only extracted everyone first, done a proper withdrawal first, then had the military leave the country....we wouldn't be here.

As this two decades-long Afghan war mercifully winds down, let us pause to remember and pay homage to our countrymen who lost their lives while serving overseas.
The list of terrorist attacks and atrocities committed against our troops is mindnumbing. So much senseless death & murder, spanning so many years, affecting so many lives and families.
Some of the deadliest days for US troops in Afghanistan:
August 26, 2021: Two suicide bombers and gunmen attack crowds of Afghans flocking to Kabul’s airport in the waning days of an airlift for those fleeing the Taliban takeover. The attacks kill at least 72 Afghans and 13 US troops.
December 21, 2015: A suicide attacker rams an explosives-laden motorcycle into a joint NATO-Afghan patrol, killing six American troops. The soldiers were targeted as they moved through a village near Bagram airfield.
October 2, 2015: 11 people, including six US service members, are killed when a US Air Force C-130J transport plane crashes.
December 17, 2013: Six US service members are killed when a helicopter crashes.
May 4, 2013: Seven US soldiers and a member of the NATO-led coalition are killed as the Taliban continued attacks as part of their spring offensive.
March 11, 2013: A helicopter crash in southern Afghanistan kills five American service members. Two US special operations forces were gunned down hours earlier in an insider attack by an Afghan policeman in eastern Afghanistan.
August 6, 2011: A helicopter is shot down by an armed group with a rocket-propelled grenade, killing 30 American troops and eight Afghans.
May 26, 2011: Nine NATO service members are killed, including seven US troops who died when a bomb exploded in a field where they were patrolling on foot.
April 19, 2011: An Afghan officer kills eight US airmen and one US civilian during a routine meeting at an Afghan air force headquarters compound in Kabul.
September 21, 2010: A helicopter crashed in a rugged section of southern Afghanistan, killing nine. The Defense Department said three were Navy SEALs and one was assigned to the Naval Special Warfare unit. Five were soldiers from the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
August 27, 2010: Homemade bombs kill three US troops in southern and eastern Afghanistan.
June 8, 2010: Seven American troops, two Australians and a French Legionnaire are killed. A US contractor training Afghan police also died in a suicide attack.
October 27, 2009: Eight American troops die in two separate bomb attacks in southern Afghanistan.
October 26, 2009: Eleven American soldiers are killed in separate helicopter crashes. One chopper goes down in western Afghanistan, killing seven soldiers and three civilians working for the US government. In a separate incident in the south, two other US choppers collide while in flight, killing four American troops.
October 3, 2009: Eight US soldiers are killed when their outpost in Kamdesh, Nuristan, is attacked by as many as 300 militants. Another soldier dies in Wardak province when a bomb detonates while he attempts to disarm it.
July 13, 2008: Nine American soldiers are killed when their remote outpost in Wanat, Nuristan, is attacked by small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades. Another soldier dies in Kajaki Sofla when his vehicle strikes a roadside bomb.
February 18, 2007: A US helicopter crashes in the Shahjoi district of Zabul province, killing eight American troops.
May 5, 2006: 10 American soldiers die in a CH-47 Chinook helicopter crash during combat operations in eastern Afghanistan.
June 28, 2005: 16 US troops on a special forces helicopter are killed when their MH-47 Chinook helicopter is shot down by armed fighters. Three US sailors also die the same day.
April 6, 2005: 15 US service members and three American civilians are killed when their helicopter goes down in a sandstorm while returning to the main US base at Bagram.
January 29, 2004: An explosion at a weapons cache kills eight US soldiers.
March 23, 2003: A US Air Force helicopter on a mercy mission to help two injured Afghan children crashes in southeastern Afghanistan, killing all six people on board.
March 4, 2002: Seven American soldiers are killed when two helicopters come under fire.
January 9, 2002: A US military refuelling plane that was resupplying troops in Afghanistan crashes in Pakistan, killing all seven Marines on board.

Joe must've sent the Tally Bon a strongly-worded letter and told them what he did to Corn Pop.
This lays on Biden, Trump, Obama and Bush. Call it out for once. Americans suffered for 20 years for bs. All because of lies. Biden could’ve handled it better
