Live Thread 3: The Fall of Afghanistan

[Hoodat]

You don't announce it, you just DO it. Giving advance notice just gives the enemy time to prepare.

You do if you're a complete fool.

Maybe the first democrat POTUS that Blair hasn't brought  his kneepads for homage.

Oh, Blair had his kneepads on for Bushie, too.

Defense Contractors Told Not To Personally Assist ‘Friends And Former Colleagues’ Stuck In Afghanistan

The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) is telling personnel not to personally assist “friends and former colleagues” stuck in Afghanistan, according to an internal email obtained by the Daily Caller.

“If any Afghanistan national contacts a DCMA employee for assistance with asylum, the employee should in no way suggest or represent that the individual or DCMA is in a position to help,” the email read. “The employee should only inform the Afghanistan national that the State Department is the appropriate organization to contact.”

The email comes as veterans are scrambling online to help Afghans fleeing the Taliban. The official process for Afghan allies is proving difficult to navigate, with several indicators showing these channels are sorely lacking in expediency and competence.

#&%$! lawyers!  Legal department is more worried about getting sued than saving lives.

by Collin Rugg



People in Afghanistan are feeling the rathe of the Taliban terrorists after President Joe Biden allowed them to take over the country.

A new report coming out of the region claims that 20 children are being held hostage and their fathers have four hours to surrender or else they’ll be slaughtered.

“Breaking: The Taliban have attacked district of Andarab again to seek revenge. A local told me: “the war is going on in earnest, that People Resistance group now have the strategic points, but the Taliban had taken their children and women hostage and demand fathers to surrender”,” said reporter Natiq Malikzada on Twitter.

A Sunday TV talk show reminder: Effectively everyone the media is trotting out as an “Afghanistan expert” contributed meaningfully to the failed and unsustainable strategies that led us to now. If they had a brilliant solution, they didn’t execute it when it was their chance.

At this point, I believe Biden is fervently hoping that the Taliban completes its Kabul takeover so no more pics and news like this will take place to make him look bad.

“So they’re still effectively on their own when it comes to getting to the airport?”  @MajorCBS
 to @SecBlinken
 asking if the US Military will go out and get US citizens. Blinken says giving them guidance and helping tell them where to go is the best way to do that.

While channel hopping, I caught CNN laying blame on GWB and MSNBC on Trump.  The Dems are beginning to circle the wagons.  It won't work.  Joe Biden's 'presidency' [sic] is effectively over.  There is nothing politically that he will be able to accomplish from this point forward.

NEW: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers entered into an agreement with the Dulles Expo Center to provide temporary layover location to accommodate Afghans at risk as they await follow-on transportation to Fort Bliss, Texas, or Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. Fox obtained the documents.

Everyone in Biden’s inner circle should be in prison for covering up his condition, and allowing this nation to go without leadership.

Chris Wallace to Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Afghanistan: "Does the president not know what's going on?"

Blinken: "This is an incredibly emotional time for many of us."

Have you considered that it may be an emotional time for those Americans hiding out throughout Afghanistan fearing for their lives?  To hell with you and Biden's emotional wellbeing.

It’s come to this in Afghanistan: The United States is BEGGING Taliban Terrorists to allow Americans safe passage to the airport. We have no control. They control the country. AMERICA IS SEEN AS WEAK.
