The hunt down OBL in Afghanistan operation morphed into a nation bldg operation that after nearly 20 years failed to produce a goverment that could stand on it's own.

Anyone asking how much security screening do Afghanistan refugees get when they fly out of Afghanistan as most people flying to US from other countries get double screened. And Afghanistan seems to be the highest risk country in the world. I was surprised ATC cleared that plane for takeoff with so many people running along side and climbing onto the side and wheel wheels and breaching all sorts of security and COVID protocols.

Speaking of which anyone know whether they require negative testing/quarantine when they land just as with every other traveler these days? And how many cases of COVID did they bring in since they start evacuating?

Biden's first week in office he ended about 60 things Trump did. This mess is all on Biden.

Now, back to California. Who's going to host Afghanis.

Remind me again, what was Biden's vote in the senate for the AUMF in the first place? Thanks in advance for answering this honestly.


See, the thing is, most of the same people who started this war and the power-brokers who support them, are still very much active in the federal government, up to and including the current president. So just stop with this "Biden had no choice" nonsense. The president actually has really broad powers in this area which is precisely what Biden as senator voted for.

It'll be the same as every other time it's happened. Independent resettlement groups in partnership with the U.S. government provide the actual servicing to refugees.

It would be wonderful if the same effort went into finding housing for homeless vets.

Oh come now. The hierarchy from California's ruling class places hard working Americans right behind illegal immigrants. The only thing they hold lower than hard working Americans are Veterans.

You know the people that fight and die for our country.
