Biden: Heads will roll!

The Taliban: Hold my beer Mahmoud.

I'm not in the military, so take this for what it's worth, but here's one possible way: charter three Boeing 777 jets, one each from three different airlines, and have them fly daily service from Kabul to three different cities in nearby countries. Load these flights with the people you want to evacuate. But it'll look just like any other commercial flight heading out; nothing out of the ordinary. Every day, there's 1,000 people leaving the country on regular commercial jets, whom nobody would even notice during normal times. In 100 days of this, you've cleared out your 100,000 people, in a completely normal and innocuous way, and the Taliban would probably be none the wiser.

anyone that believes that...needs to have their head examined.....present President included

The Taliban has no structure to even enforce that "rule"....they are a loose pack of animals

For the President of US to even say that out loud....is so unbelievable

You keep arguing about an NEO, but you dont need an NEO to understand Afghanistan. again, your argument would only work if the civilian contractors had no idea of the state of the country.

By the way, Biden didnt more the Date to August 31st until after the May deadline had been passed, so all those contracters absolutely believed they were supposed to be out by may and chose to stay.

Now, show and tell us how you know that all these people choose to stay, I don't think you can. .

The fact that they are still there shows you they chose to stay , otherwise they would have been gone. LMFAO ROTF.

Maybe you worded that last sentence wrong. want to try again ?

Liberals love to forget the entire reason we went over there: to prevent Afghanistan from becoming a safe haven for terrorists.

Freedom is not free. It never has been and it never will be.

1. The same could be achieved differently without the humongous loss of life and treasure. It also helps not to contribute to creation of the problem on the first place Have you googled operation Cyclone yet? Also we seem to be in really good relations with Saudi Arabia, correct? Hmmm, that's interesting...

2. No, we didn't forget. See 1.

3. I guess repeating the same thing is free. Not sure what freedom has to do with never ending wars.

Trump gave them the may 2021 date In February of 2020. Biden didnt change the military withdrawal date till after the may date passed.

So yes, they 100% knew. Maybe they had faith that the Afghan government wouldnt crumble, but that separate from the fact that There was an end date to all this.

Not really sure what there is to "not believe".

Its Biden's blunder, but your article highlights Trumps deal with the Taliban. hmmmm.


SO again, what is your end goal argument ? Because if you are arguing the above post, you are indeed talking about Trump, not Biden.

The only way you can really hate biden here is if you are arguing, we shouldnt leave at all.

You had literally just replied to a post where i made the same argument, what exactly is the point of you trolling here ?????

Now that we know Biden was warned a month ago that withdrawing all troops would lead to a mess with the Taliban, and had been warned to start evacuating Americans, which he ignored, it seems this was all intentional. Nobody, not even Biden could be that inept, could they?

And something I haven't seen mentioned yet - if they're unable to get to the airport because the Taliban and others are blocking them - doesn't that make the American civilians hostages?
