McConnell calls on Biden to change course in Afghanistan before it's too late

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell urged President Joe Biden to reverse course in Afghanistan as the security situation in the country quickly deteriorates.

"Unless President Biden adjusts course quickly, the Taliban is on track to secure a significant military victory," McConnell said in a statement Thursday. "The latest news of a further drawdown at our Embassy and a hasty deployment of military forces seem like preparations for the fall of Kabul. President Biden’s decisions have us hurtling toward an even worse sequel to the humiliating fall of Saigon in 1975."

The statement comes as the Taliban has advanced to take control of large swaths of Afghanistan, closing in on the capital of Kabul as U.S. forces near completing their withdrawal from the country.

The Biden administration has pleaded with the Taliban not to attack the U.S. Embassy in Kabul if they do overtake the city and has now resorted to sending roughly 3,000 troops back into the country in an attempt to provide security for Americans fleeing Kabul............

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Ummm.... Mitch.....  Mitch....?
.... where ya been...?

It's a little late for talk like that now.
Indeed, very late.
As in... "too late".

There's barely enough time to get our people OUT of there alive.
We may not even succeed in that.

Get them out as fast as possible and destroy the embassy, leave nothing behind!
