Maybe the Brits and French will rescue our American citizens.. 888mouth

I'd be looking for a friendly embassy to go to.  Maybe India?

Joe Biden just caved to the Taliban’s August 31 deadline.

If President Trump were there, the ‘deadline’ would’ve been the day every single American is home—and not a second before. And you can bet there would’ve been repercussions for the Taliban otherwise.

President Trump would be telling them, "This ain't Burger King".

President Biden says the August 31 Afghanistan withdrawal deadline depends on the “Taliban continuing to cooperate.”
He also says he instructed the Pentagon and State Dept. to create contingency plans to adjust the withdrawal timetable “should that become necessary”

IOW:  The Taliban could move the deadline to Aug. 26.

After Vietnam, the left spit on American troops who fought for their country and came home

Now the world will spit on, turn their backs on Americans

An American president,Joe Biden, is deliberately abandoning Americans behind enemy lines

By any metric, leaving behind thousands of your citizens to rot in a country overrun by hostile enemy combatants shows a total failure of governance and military strategizing.

I know my husband and son feel the same way...Mike is so disturbed by what is happening...

My son is waiting in line to get into whatever AF program he is signing up for.  I think he said there are 9 people ahead of him, and each month they pick 2 or 3.  Maybe next month they will need to pick 178.

Most embarassing moment of my life for this country.  100X worse than either the  fall of Saigon ('75), or failed Iranian Hostage Rescue ('80).

I was encouraged that we made the attempt to rescue the hostages in 1980.  But I was furious when I learned that the failure was 100% Jimmy 'the micromanager' Carter's fault.

He gave the Taliban millions of dollars in U.S. equipment, including air power --- Gee ...

Before 2001, the Taliban was using surplus Soviet T-34s from WWII and had zero aircraft.  Today, their air force ranks 25th in the world, and supports M1s and Bradleys,

If the Taliban doesn't cooperate, then the deadline will be moved up accordingly.
