@TexChik Biden will probably blame all this on Trump. Democrats are experts on shifting blame. The Bengazi disaster was blamed on a YouTube video. This according to Obama.
Odd that he's on "vacation" while the place is falling apart. But Obama and Hillary were no where to be found when Benghazi happened except to blame someone else. When they spin a big enough story (lie) to explain it all and hand it off to Biden to go BS the people, watch him blame Trump.
@carpediem I'm pretty familiar with the geography and the resources and how these things are coordinated. What happened in Benghazi ... the lack of an attempt to rescue our people there ... can only be explained by accepting that the plan was to not rescue our people there, and that determination was made long before. The plan was to allowed our people to be murdered rather than sending in forces to rescue them and possibly killing rioting muslims in the process.
The Obama administration didn't want to tell the American people that they had intentionally sacrificed our people in Benghazi rather than risk an escalation in Benghazi, so they contrived a handful of lies and shed a few crocodile tears.
When someone calls 911 saying that their house is on fire, the fire truck sets out immediately, even though the firemen may not have a clue about the fire itself. They gather that information along the way if possible, and they assess the situation when they arrive at the house that's burning. They don't sit at the firehouse waiting for more details ... unless the plan was to not respond to that 911 call.
The Republican Party was created to stop the evil of Democrats and their belief in slavery. I can't believe no one can see Democrats and the Taliban are bedmates.
They are two evil peas in a pod.
The Republicans will have to clean this mess up also.
The level of incompetence by this President and his national security team is worse than any of us could have ever imagined. The lack of planning, the lack of knowledge is sickening. Anyone who defends this administration on this issue cannot be taken seriously.
Why did Biden force our Afghan friends to sit in Afghanistan and hold their breath waiting for someone to process the paperwork for their visas? He could have easily flown them to a safe location and where they could have done the processing in a safe and orderly way.
This is the same clown that allows illegal immigrants to freely cross our Mexican border with little to no processing before releasing them to roam freely in the US. Why the open door treatment at the Mexican border, while those in Afghanistan who are desperate for asylum were made to wait there?
The US Air Force has the largest fleet of transport aircraft in the world, plus there are hundreds of giant airliners sitting just parked because of COVID19. How easy it would have been to simply fly those seeking safety to a safe location, starting months and months ago. Just 5 747s could move 3,000 people within just a couple of hours to a safe location. Within a single crew day, easily 10,000 people. 10 jumbo jets could moved 50,000 people in a 24 hour period.
Vietnam-2. I well remember the millions and millions of Vietnamese running for their lives to escape the brutality that awaited them. The millions in Cambodia who were slaughtered when the US tucked tail and ran there. We are seeing these images again, and again because of incompetent leadership and heartless politicians.
@Heartlander dfanger is the sponsor of taliban qatar emirate all west are friends with qatar football like in 1936 olympic games to mushen with mr hitler
@nedkelly We all share the blame. We elect self serving, incompetent leaders and then sit back and let them lie to us. We base our vote on the trinkets they hand out that will game the system in our favor. We allow ourselves to be played.
@Nimbus He also touted the 310 thousand Afghani military vs. the 75 thousand Taliban. He did not comment on the Afghan Military’s questionable dedication and will to defend their nation. Not did he comment on the dedication and commitment of the Taliban to achieve their object. Obviously the Taliban answered those questions.
Here's what I don't get: why does America first withdraw its troops, and then tries desperately to evacuate civilians, personell and staff? Why not first getting all the civilians out, while reliable troops are still there to safeguard them??? Am I missing something? 😐
@helenS Hey, Democrats are so much smarter than us so we have to trust them. Our military was probably more concerned with teaching critical race theory than, you know, performing military operations. Welcome to the Biden Era.
@helenS A handfuls of jumbo jets could evacuate 50,000 people a day, two handfuls could evacuate 100,000 in a day. There are still enough compassionate nations within an hour's flight to accommodate a safe holding area. In two weeks a million people could have been flown to safety and accommodated where while deciding what to do next.
Watching desperate people grabbing onto landing gears, door handles ... anything in their desperate need is so heartbreaking.
And putting our soldiers in a position where they have to shoot these desperate people to jeep them away from airplanes is beyond heartbreaking.

I see someone decided to use the new down vote feature.
@SW-User That was not the intent. The downvotes are like the mute feature, in a way. They move the people whose posts you dislike further and further away over a period of time.

@4meAndyou That's what they said... but it really makes no sense when we already can mute or block...but it does make a great new part to a game that allows to hate on people you don't like. There is no good reason for that feature.
I read that helicopters were flying citizens out...not true? Even the US Today wrote and article that this is Biden's biggest failure as he runs to his "safe place" for the 17th time..
@akindheart I believe that is true. Here is a picture of a man falling from a plane leaving the Kabul International Airport today during the chaos in Afghanistan.
Are they sure it was a person? or persons? The way people were clustering around and climbing onto the airplanes it could be that they had opened one or more access panels which later ripped off as the plane increased speed.
Even that is dangerous ... refueling panels, external power panels, chemical toilet service panels, etc... some of them are pretty big and if not secured can rip free and impact the tail or get sucked into an engine.
I still shudder with the panic evacuation from Vietnam ... people clinging to the wheel wells, crew-members shooting those who wouldn't let go. Horrible memories. I left Saigon about 18 months prior to that panic exit, but heard too many stories from those who lived through it.
Democrats, the party that supposedly helps women, have abandoned Afghan women and girls to a terrible future. Nice move, America, electing this senile idiot.
@carpediem I know. You know the last time the Taliban got us it was very obvious. This time it’s gonna be a silent killer. Wear your masks and wash your hands.
What's sad is that most of you ignorant degenerates still don't get it do you. This isn't Biden's fault. This isn't Trump's or Obama's fault. Or Bush. The World Order creates this war. And they ended it on their own terms. They don't care what you think. They don't care about soldiers. Or the Afghan people. This is a game to them. And you're just another idiot falling for it all over again. 🙂
@Budwick yes but in afganistan mine of copperand in north a little gaz and also strategic border iran pakistan my wife country china russia but very poor peoples not educated like in same part of pakistan
