MG Taylor said, on giving the Taliban lists of people's names, that they have given Taliban checkpoint leaders information on who to should get past the checkpoints and what documentation they need.

.@PentagonPresSec says they’ll do the forensics later on what went wrong. “Clearly something went wrong.”

With cries for help from Kabul ringing in your ears, Americans frustrated/furious because we’re blocking our citizens/green card holders etc it’s painful to hear the alternate reality at these press conferences. Same for false distinctions between these terrorists groups.

America is no more

- Oligarchs run govt.

- Elections are staged with predetermined outcomes.

- Media is state run

- Tyrants manufacture control pandemics

- We arm our enemies while leaving our citizens stranded to be killed.

How much longer are we going to tolerate this?

Biden said his generals told him it was OK to sacrifice Bagram, the only airfield we have access to in the whole theater to kill terrorists from.

That has to be a lie.

If not, every General or Admiral who said that should be court-martialed and charged with manslaughter.

I believe the case was that the generals told "Bloody Hands" Biden that, unless he authorized a troop increase, they could either (a) keep the embassy safe so it could continue processing visas, or (b) protect Bagram air base, but that they could not accomplish both goals without increasing the number of U.S. troops. Biden chose to keep the embassy going, and to let Bagram go.

Blame lies with "Bloody Hands" Biden first and foremost.

Yes. Biden set the limit on how many of our soldiers could remain in country and with that number they couldn't secure both the embassy and the air base. Artificial limits were set on multiple fronts that set all of this into motion. An attempt to run politics over reality. Reality always wins in the end.

The first Biden official to resign and write a tell all about the White House negligence and chaos of the Afghanistan withdrawal gets the biggest book deal

Tick tock

Think about what it’s like trying to help people who kept you alive for years & while you’re talking to them bombs explode, kids are screaming, everyone running & the only reason they’re in that sit is the US admin has ceded control to the same terrorists responsible for 9/11.

It reminds me of O'Bastard's plan to "surge" troops in Afghanistan. He asked the Generals how many troops it would take to succeed, they answered 75,000 at the very least, O'Bastard replied, "Then I will deliver! You get 50,000 troops! Good luck!"
