General McKenzie: we did not get everyone out that we wanted to get out.


I'm disgusted.

122,000 people evacuated, including 6,000 Americans. Not perfect, but not the worst possible outcome, all things considered. Congratulations to our military forces for a mostly successful exfiltration. Let the Congressional hearings begin...

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! What a colossal waste it was. Never let neocon Republican war mongers do this to us again.

We'll likely never know the true cost in blood and $$$ of any of our unnecessary wars of choice, and that's a damn shame!

When the beheading videos start to resurface again, we'll then start to get an idea.

As for all of the billions of US dollars worth of ordnance/weapons and equipment/technology? It's only going to be a matter of time before we see attacks being carried out utilizing such against the United states and our allies.

Absolutely. Next time, just let them attack us here and we can run and hide in caves in the sides of mountains.

What's the word on the 100+ students being held hostage by the Taliban at American University of Afghanistan?

https://news.yahoo.com/american-univ...135100355.html

Students and affiliates of the American University of Afghanistan attempting to leave the country were unable to do so after school officials informed them civilian evacuations at Hamid Karzai International Airport would end on Monday.


The university is composed of English educators, many from America, with the goal of teaching Afghan students within the country. Current and former students of AUAF congregated at a safe house on Sunday and rode buses to the airport, waiting seven hours for clearance before facing rejection from airport clearance officials, according to a report from the New York Times.


“I regret to inform you that the high command at HKIA in the airport has announced there will be no more rescue flights,” the AUAF officials told roughly 600 students in an email, according to the outlet. The student group was also informed the university gave out their names to the Taliban presently operating checkpoints surrounding the airport, an action that left many alumni and students distressed.


“We are all terrified. There is no evacuation. There is no getting out," a 24-year-old sophomore at AUAF told the New York Times.
To hell with them huh Biden?

Default Biden ended the war in Afghanistan.

That’s how the media will make many believe he is the best president we’ve ever had.
