Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I haven't been able to follow the entire threads here on this topic, so pardon me if this point has already been made.

But it is pretty clear to me that the Resident is just following the plan as developed by his CCP masters.

UK paratroopers are rescuing trapped British civilians…
Citizen Free Press, Aug 19, 2021

Daily Mail — State Dept tells all remaining Americans in Afghanistan to go to the airport NOW because troops can’t collect them and insists the Taliban will let them through

This is the gauntlet they face outside the airport…

Meanwhile, UK is taking care of business…

Do you seriously believe that they give a damn about projecting strength?  These are the same people who gave us "lead from behind" as if that were a positive quality.

Taliban militants have allegedly burnt down an amusement park a day after they were seen enjoying rides following the capture of Kabul.

The Taliban militants, some of them with weapons in hand, were seen enjoying a ride on the electric bumper cars in the videos. In another video, Taliban militants can be seen riding small merry-go-round horses.  ...

In the latest video doing the rounds on social media, an entire amusement park is seen burning with massive flames covering the area at night.  ...

This is why I couldn't be a military officer.  If I'm an 82|AB commander, I am taking matters into my own hands by cooperating with UK commanders to rescue Americans and allies trapped throughout the city, knowing it will be the last orders I will ever be allowed to issue before getting court martialed.  Clearly, the US officers depicted in the exchange above are not willing to disobey the atrocious orders they are being handed.

No they do not, but even demented Dems realize they cannot get away with that type of optics.  Congress would not confirm that match under the circumstances we are now under.

Biden Says Taliban ‘Going Through Sort Of An Existential Crisis,’ Credits Them For Giving Americans ‘Safe Passage’

President Joe Biden said the Taliban is “going through sort of an existential crisis” and credited the group for giving Americans “safe passage” to get out of Afghanistan, during an interview that aired Thursday.

Biden sat down with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos in what marked his first time answering questions from the press since the Taliban overtook Afghanistan. Stephanopoulos asked the president whether he believes the Taliban has changed, prompting Biden to declare “no” before clarifying his answer.

“Let me put it this way,” the president said. “I think they’re going through sort of an existential crisis about do they want to be recognized by the international community as being a legitimate government. I’m not sure they do.”

Afghan blame game deepens: While Biden points his finger at Trump and the Pentagon and CIA turn on each other, will ANYONE take responsibility for this deadly debacle?

    Joe Biden on Monday said the Afghan army had failed to defend their country
    Biden's comments were echoed by Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense
    Biden also said that he had 'inherited' the plan from Donald Trump
    Trump blamed Biden for the chaos, and said he would have been smoother
    On Wednesday General Mark Milley said a failure of intelligence was to blame
    Yet intelligence sources told The New York Times they warned of the dangers
    Within the State Department, fingers were pointed at the Afghanistan experts
    Some said the Biden administration had simply not wanted to anger the GOP
    They argued that fears of a backlash against evacuations prevented a plan

If two women do not project strength, how can ONE woman "project" any "strength"?

Your original statement illustrates why women should NEVER be permitted to hold a position of power in government, at almost any level.

How many women do we see in the taliban?
Who WON over there? Against "the greatest armed forces in the world"?

Call me a misogynist. I don't care what you think.

Afghan women defy the Taliban on second day of protests as thousands take to the streets waving the national flag to mark Afghan independence day - after Islamists killed three demonstrators yesterday

    Afghans defied Taliban by flying national flags instead of Islamists' white emblem to mark independence day
    Women led marches through Kabul, as demonstrations took place in Khost, Kunar and Nangarhar provinces
    Taliban responded with beatings and shootings that left at least one hurt, despite pledge to be 'moderate'
    Comes a day after three were shot dead by the Taliban for waving national flags as a symbol of resistance
