The Taliban will not extend the 31 August deadline for the current evacuation mission.
God help the US!

I am curious - why the evacuation is so slow? There are thousands of people on the airport
ready to leave. There are countries ready to take the refugees.
Doesn't the US military/government have enough airplanes to send?

So unless he is threatened with impeachment or use of the 25th amendment, he will just let our people die.
Sadly accurate.

Tony Blair should be honored for having the guts to correctly call Biden an imbecile.

We need more time than 8-31. The Taliban knows this, everyone knows this.

But the Taliban knows better than to attack Americans. If they want us to leave, the best way for us to leave is to finish up the evacuation, might be done by Sept 11th.

The best way to make us stay is to try a wide scale attack on the airport on Sep 1st.

Not even weak and whimpy Biden could over look that.

Biden doesn't really see a problem here. Remember he was VP during the Obama administration and learned from him that a "red line" is just a suggestion and not a serious one at that.

Do not challenge JB's stupidity.

Are we sure when he had 2 brain surgeries they put the brain back in?

I read today 28,000 people have been evacuated, that is not slow.

I'm aware of that. I'm questioning those that keep stating that anyone there after that agreed on date chose to be there and it's on them now that they are stuck. That is what I disagree with.

There are thousands of people who most likely aren't SIV holders and can't be vetted.

Our first priority should be Americans.

And Potato Joe's administration won't tell us how many there are. And not only have they been told not to go to the airport there are thousands that aren't even in Kabul.
