Don’t get the slam on @idaho, except as a mistaken link to his post instead of @Californiagrown .
Congrats pat, you haven’t posted in a while but managed to pick up where you left off as far as your stupidity.
Which post of mine would he even be referring to? Reads more like the unhinged ravings of a madman, or a short synopsis of a manifesto the FBI releases post mortem.
He does have brain damage.
So he stood at the podium and told our citizens in Afghanistan that it was unlikely the Taliban would take over, but if they did it would take months. Those citizens–many, many of whom are doing humanitarian work–relied on those assurances that there were at least months before they needed to abandon their work. Then he puts his trust in the Taliban and the belief that they will let Americans freely travel to the airport. When that proves to be wrong, he basically tells them they are on their own. And all of that is before he manages to get 12 service members killed. More than were killed in all of 2020 and 2021 up until today.
Just saw his post coming next after yours.
idaho doesn’t exactly strike one as a Biden supporter.
Not even a little haha
And you believe he made that up, or was it based on what military and intelligence sources told him?
You do know, I suppose you don’t, that the deal made between Trump and the Taliban was based on us trusting them to keep their word?
That double bombings is being touted by former military as indicative of military style ambushes to maximize damage.
I could see the Taliban instigating this. US shuts the gates, Taliban can ramp up killing ‘sympathizers’ and it leaves more US hostages in country.
Of course, Sho Hiden is no where to be seen.
How many more? One more. 11 were killed in 2020 but no one, other than family, cried for them since there were no political points to be scored.
The Taliban doesn’t want hostages, it wants us out. People can think what they want about Biden, and Trump is far from a tough guy, but he isn’t going to leave hostages in Afghanistan. Bush didn’t kill Osama, Obama did. Democrats are not exactly shy when it comes to using the military.
Why are they obstructing Americans from moving to the airport then, while simultaneously demanding the deadline not be changed? The balance of your post is whiteknighting dems.

There were threats with that deal. It wasn’t us begging them to go along.
Against the advice of Biden, of course.
To make sure everybody knows they’ve won and to shift the attention back from the Administration’s claims of a “successful” evacuation.
It’s their moment in the spotlight, not not to be taken over by how many Afghans can squeeze into a cargo hold of a military transport.
They want the US to run away, talking casualties along the way which is exactly what’s happening now.
The Saudis and the Pakistanis are handling this for them, the Taliban are too dumb to understand the importance of optics and PR.
Edit: Holy crap, this is retarded:

Uhh, why? The Taliban literally has nothing to gain by killing US troops at this point. Their takeover is finished; they just want us gone now. This attack was ISIS.
Yes…this was an ISIS attack.
The Afghan People will see no peace, as Civil War breaks out between the Taliban and ISIS?
(@loppar …who are the “true” backers of the two Groups…ISIS and the Taliban?)
Why were they able to get through the Taliban perimeter when so many Afghans can’t?
These were Suicide Bombings.
They use any number of deceptions to accomplish their Mission.
Quote from the article from two months ago:
Whatever face-saving successor arrangements the US may put in place to mask its capitulation, its withdrawal from Afghanistan, with none of its long-term objectives achieved, is a defeat. With the Taliban more powerful than ever and poised to reclaim power in Kabul, the only external victor will be the ISI. As Gul foresaw, it will have defeated America with America’s help. Pakistan has now received two decades’ worth of US military assistance, totalling an estimated US$11 billion.
The ISI has long been obsessed with the idea that controlling Afghanistan would give Pakistan the ‘strategic depth’ needed to challenge its main adversary, India. A Taliban regime (or even a Taliban-dominated coalition government) in Kabul is the best guarantee of that. The Taliban factions are so beholden to their Pakistani benefactors that, as Afghan President Ashraf Ghani acidly remarked, their decision-making bodies—Quetta Shura, Miramshah Shura and Peshawar Shura—are named after the Pakistani towns where they are based.
Saudi money is behind ISIS and I’ve written about this extensively on PWI.
