'They will behead us': Afghans who helped American troops now fear for their lives

As the United States approaches the Sept. 11 deadline for pulling American troops from Afghanistan, advocates increasingly warn that some 18,000 locals who helped U.S.-led forces will be hunted down by vengeful Taliban.

"These people will have a bullseye and a target on their back from the moment we leave the country," Rep. Michael McCaul said Monday at a hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

In the past six years, the Texas Republican said, 300 Afghans have been killed in retribution for working with U.S. forces. "If we abandon them, we are signing their death warrants."

Meanwhile, Biden is deciding on his favorite flavor of ice cream and allowing anybody and everybody flood the southern border.

The Biden Administration - What a bunch of cold hearted, self serving ass holes.

Seems like maybe I heard similar beheading talk when another President talked about pulling out troops, but this is the first I've heard about Biden eating ice cream.

I thought Biden was busy swatting cicadas. Are you saying he's not too senile to multitask and was contemplating topping his ice cream with cicadas?

Are you hoping he's allergic to shellfish?

@MistyCee You are hilarious.
Open with that at the Kabul Chucklehut.

Anything substantive to add to a serious conversation?

@Budwick You have to admit if Trump got US Troops out you would support it.

@Human1000 Trump DID get some troops out.

I DID support him.

He didn't take them all out though - did he?

Now, what about the Afghans Biden wants to desert?

@Budwick And if Trump pulled all troops out you would have supported him! As Trump goes, so goes his followers.
@Budwick Not without reading more about what the context of the McCaul statement.

At first glance, my guess is he's a typical MAGA halfwit doing the you're the puppet thing, but I could be wrong.

My apologies for the levity.

Yeah, you're not spewing nonsense right now!
Just making up some fictional story line and claiming to know what happens in your fantasy.

@MistyCee Fuck McCaul.
The situation is real.
What should be done?

@Budwick You haven't denied it. You will never say "I would have disagreed with Trump."
Budwick · 70-79, M
@Human1000 I've said many times that I think he wears his ties too long.
Human1000 · M
@Budwick But if he pulled out of Afghanistan you would have supported him?
Budwick · 70-79, M
@Human1000 [quote]But if he pulled out of Afghanistan[/quote]

He didn't.

@Budwick lol, you're so busted.
@Budwick It's above my pay grade, but I'd say one partial solution would be more immigration, or at least speeding up the visa process.
