Paying off hostage-takers, in other words.

Giving them money first, and then asking afterwards if they will let our people through.

Their family members are prohibited from telling anyone their whereabouts, but some desk officer blurts it out to the entire world.

Yeah! Ain't it wonderful! And the dumbass that did that still has his job!

My theory. Biden will resign, Kamala will name Hillary VP and then Kamala steps down.

Hillary was ill while she was campaigning against Trump; several videos of her stumbling, falling up the stairs, bobbling her head, she was late for interviews and rallies. She's now 4 years older and I doubt she's well enough to take on the presidency. She didn't even bother to put her name in the arena of candidates this past election.

Kamela's VP IMO will be very telling and the real person in charge.  My guesses; Jarret, Rice or Obama (Michael).

Where in the hell is the call from EVERY GOP for Joe to step down? That in itself is troubling.

Very frank admission from the defense secretary about the limit of U.S. forces on the ground in Kabul: “We don't have the capability to go out and collect large numbers of people,” Austin says

No, you freely surrendered the capacity to go out and collect large numbers of people.

Defense Secretary Austin, on whether the U.S. will send U.S forces beyond the airport to help Americans and Afghans get there: "the forces that we have are focused on security of the airfield"

The U.S. is relying on the Taliban to facilitate safe passage of American citizens.

Now you know why there's a rule against allowing a military person to run the Defense Department.

Biden telling staff he wants to go back to Delaware. Hasn't been sleeping well this week. Thinks he will be more functional if he stays over at home in Wilmington.

More functional??  I didn't know that he was functional!  I haven't seen any indication since he took the oath of office that he was fully functional. Quite the opposite.

Bangladesh has turned down Joe Biden’s request to provide shelter to Afghans.

Note to the west: Islamic Country are refusing to take Muslim refugees from Afghanistan. They are closing their borders and building walls!

What are our leaders doing to protect our countries?

The latest plan is to round up as many Afghanis as they can and drop them off in Northern Mexico.  That is the easiest way to avoid all that red tape.

I think they may be of the same mind as I - as bad as Joe is, Kamala is worse, and there are even worse choices out there yet.

We are in a rock and a hard place on leadership right now.

Get ready boys and girls ...
this is not going to end well.

Biden is a Chinese fool ... and well no more than that needs to be said.
Hold on to your hats ... this is going to be a wild ride.

Biden is China's puppet.  With the events taking place over in Afghanistan; I have little doubt this was why he was put in place. 

I just saw a TV clip of a child who had been beaten by the Taliban, he was being carried and his head covered in blood .... I am in tears.  That blood and all the impending deaths are on Joe's hands.   888mouth 888mouth 888mouth

A direct contradiction to their claim that they sent out warnings everyone a month ago to get out.  You would think they would have a list of everyone they warned, right?

Exactly--and who had left already.
