A Taliban Hostage Crisis Will Make the Iran Hostage Crisis Look Like a Little Kid's Birthday Party.

Imagine 5200 hostages instead of 52. In a land-locked country surrounded by nations either hostile to us or not very friendly.

There won't be a hostage crisis. Taliban want us gone.
@QuixoticSoul I read the Taliban is helping to evacuate people.

@QuixoticSoul The airport is still open, hop a flight and lend a hand, since it is so safe for western civilians and all

@QuixoticSoul

Iran wanted us "gone," too.

@sunsporter1649 For enough cash I would.

@Pitchblue Us remaining in Kabul takes the wind out of their legitimacy. They want us to leave as expediently as possible. Killing or capturing Americans is a great way to guarantee we won't.

@QuixoticSoul And you believe that. Don't bogard that joint

@beckyromero Different entity, different history, different circumstances, different relationship.

@sunsporter1649 You'll see.

If that were the case, they wouldn't be interfering with our current efforts.

@beckyromero Doesn't sound like they're doing a whole lot of actual interfering with Americans trickling in.

@sunsporter1649 Sporty, you signing up to reinvade Afghanistan? And I don't remember you complaining when the last administration dragged their feet on Afghan visas even as they signed the agreement to leave.

@QuixoticSoul LOL, your response to solving the screw-up over there is to blame President Trump? Typical left-wing nut jobs, no solutions to anything, not able to take responsibility for anything, just more and more bullschiff
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@sunsporter1649 Trump left us in this mess, sporty - if you weren't such a partisan weirdo, you'd grasp this basic reality.

My response to solving the screw up over there is to accept that Afghans are totally screwed - between Trump, the ANA, and in many cases, their own apathy - they're screwed. There are no good solutions, they picked the wrong side.

@QuixoticSoul You really believe President Trump would have left the country, leaving behind billions in equipment, 10,000 American citizens, and tens of thousands of others who supported the efforts of the American people? You folks are really sick
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@sunsporter1649 Of course he would. The troop pullout and most of the equipment handover even happened during his term - though we've been leaving materiel for the ANA for the last twenty years, not sure why you're complaining about that.

Don't worry, we won't leave any American citizens behind. The Afghans - well, you can see how much he cared.
