Very true. But ask Jimmy Carter how Desert One turned out, and who got blamed for it.

You're absolutely correct.

Let's all hope that this doesn't turn out like Desert One.

I guess we could start firing on Afghan civilians we aren't evacuating to get them out of the way, but the optics on that would be pretty bad.

Clearly, they are going to have to create a safe passageway starting some distance before the crowd at the airport. From what I've read, they are negotiating that with the Taliban now.

I suggested that yesterday or two days ago. The Brits and French are having no problem getting their civilians out. And Italian soldiers are helping secure the airport.

I doubt it's a question of 'can't' it's a matter of 'won't'.

I wouldn't mind have a David Kovic in charge right now!

(Btw, Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver were SO great in that -- and so were Frank Langella, Ving Rhames, and Laura Linney (in fact, the entire cast was excellent.)

Biden "vows to bring home every American that wants to leave"...if they can get to the airport...that's surrounded by uncivilized savage Taliban.

Does Sleepy Joe think UBER will just whisk them past the Taliban roadblocks?

"that wants to leave" is insinuating that some want to stay...yeah..right. Joe's looking for a back door himself by making that comment...bad try Joe...none of them want their heads cut off, its safe to say.

If this doesn't end in massive loss of American lives, & hostage taking, I'll be shocked.

Joe Biden is unfit to serve, and should be impeached immediately.

Somehow that does not give me any reassurance at all.

Let us remember that Biden, despite being a fraudulent "president", is recognized by the military as "the commander in chief". They cannot go rogue and attempt to do what is correct without his permission. And................ that "commander in chief" is demented and not capable of making difficult decisions.
Biden was told what to do last month and he IGNORED THEIR ADVICE.

This is akin to monarchies in which a toddler king was "leading" the nation. In most instances, they had competent advisors.

However, keep in mind, that Obama AND Biden have REPLACED MOST OF THE LEADERS OF THE MILITARY WITH POLITICALLY CORRECT, INCOMPETENT LEADERS WHO ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH TRANNIES AND GAYS IN THE MILITARY AND CRT THAN MAINTAINING THE MILITARY AS A FIGHTING FORCE.

The top command of the military branches are led by bureaucrats who rose through political affiliation, not military competence. The US military has been neutered by Obama and has left the nation helpless.

THANK GOD THEY SAVED THE GAY FLAG TWO WEEKS AGO, YET FORGOT ABOUT 40,000 US CITIZENS! That's all that really matters.
President Biden answered that question today.

He said 'they received all kinds of intelligence and advice'.

I'm sure that's true.

Makes me think of "weapons of mass destruction"... remember that?

I find it interesting that you want to talk about monarchies and toddler kings in this discussion... really???

Before the election last year, your Toddler in Chief, Trump 'promised to have troops home for Christmas...'
even though his top advisors were in disagreement.

I guess it shows that a rogue president can do whatever they want to - regardless.

In their next press conference, they'll be wearing full Shaira-Law-approved garb to satisfy a Taliban demand, in return for 100 American lives.

Reading this thread is hilarious

“Twitter says it’s canceled”

*Not canceled

“Won’t take any questions”

*Takes questions

“Reading answers from prearranged questions”

*Reporters ask clearly not prepped questions


There are legitimate criticisms of Biden, but when you guys do this stuff you look incredibly foolish.
