When 200,000 Brits were trapped at Dunkirk, Churchill sent fishing boats across the Channel to rescue them.

While 10,000 Americans are trapped in Afghanistan, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin says, "We don't have the capability to go out and collect large numbers of people."

No one can defend this.
Spot on.

But Biden will flounder and capsize and have an emotional meltdown before any action can be taken.

The Taliban are going to publicly behead Americans...for starters. And they will put the heads on stakes for all to see. Those people are vicious and backwards by American standards but they ae also fanatical, willing to die, and they are quite dangerous. Now is NOT the time to be thinking like an American. Especially a wacko leftist Democrat American wailing wringing their hands and preaching that we have to behave and play nice with the Taliban. The Taliban cannot wait to enthusiastically end American lives by the most brutal means they can dream up.

They've been dreaming about this. Scores of Americans at their mercy. And they will show no mercy. From the numbers of Americans the news is reporting trapped in Kabul this will be the single biggest loss of American life since 9/11. Hell since Normandy, the island hopping Pacific campaign, Chosin Resevoir. And these people are civilians. Own it Biden voters. You asked for it. You got it. I can't hold my temper anymore. I see this administration through a prism of naked contempt.

Soon enough the Taliban will be setting up war porn websites with the IT we put in that vermin infested country showing in as graphic a manner possible the executions of Americans. Then after they prove beyond a doubt they will happily kill Americans they'll demand billions in ransom money which this current administration will rush to pay and those varmints will kill every last American in Afghanistan anyway.Oh man, does Biden have a serious problem. Truly I think the pressure will kill him. Say hello to the only thing that could be worse than Biden. President Harris.
I fully agree with you on the likely outcome, and expect many of the public atrocities to occur on 9-11. I will not be shocked if some executions are done 9-11 at precisely the moment the WTC was struck. No matter what, they will rub our noses in our ineptitude under the clown who is now our POTUS.

How long do you want to play this game?
300+ pages and you cant actually tell me what "the plan" for either president was other than leaving,

So please answer your own question.

“That was 4 or 5 days ago!”
So… January 6th shouldn’t be an issue.

You have a credible and/or an authoritative link supporting your accusation? You'r not just posting nonsense?
Respectfully, Supposn
What difference does it make whether one of Bidens home health said it or not? It's TRUE and all you have to do is stay glued to the computer screen and wait for Taliwhacker execution porn to start showing up.

Of course their "not letting" a rescue operation happen. You want a link to figure that out? Once again it matters a fart in a high wind whether or not some high ranking sycophant or Biden hisself said it or not. It is indeed the case.

Or is it possible you think Biden will actually still act decisively in this? If he does want to organize a military operation (which I seriously doubt) it will be months before he and the joint chiefs agree on a plan. By then all our people will be dead.

Best case situation for that idiot will as I said involve billions in ransom which will be paid up front and the Taliwhackers will kill every American in their hands just as soon as they have the money. I wouldn't doubt they demand spare parts for the military equipment they took.

Been seeing pictures of Taluban squads armed with M4s. No more cruddy shot out AKs no more. Hell they'll probably demand ammunition for everything from M4s to 25mm chain guns as part of their ransom demand I see forthcoming. But you need a link proving the "not letting" thing came from the Biden bunch? Or do you actually believe it's not the case on the ground in Afghanistan? Whether Biden or a lackey said it or not?

Truly, I just dont understand your motives.

Biden is completely overwhelmed by Covid, the southern border and (perhaps most spectacularly) the Afghanistan exit.

Still the left denies his cognitive issues.

One can only watch his blinking and halting reading of the teleprompter and his peculiar answers within tightly controlled and friendly interviews and think he’s incapable.
