    what I find to be sad is that Democrat voters appear to not give a crap

    The arrogance of those who voted Democrat should be an eye-opener to all

    While I strongly respect the Trump/Biden efforts to get out of Afghanistan, the execution was nothing short of a disaster.

    I haven't seen the rest of the world that pissed at the US in a fair while.

    Guess the puppet masters figure they can apply to the Taliban for Afghan citizenship....to be fair to Joe one can't care if one is clueless to what's going around them.

    Yeah those tweets lol. Liberals kept saying words matter well… apparently actions matter more than words and Biden’s actions were and are disastrous

    Another " I hate Biden" thread from a Trump supporter ? What a shock.

    Too bad those 450??? Americans in Afghanistan didn't leave when the could have or should have. Too bad the previous regime in Afghanistan just stopped fighting for their country and just handed it over to the Taliban.

    It's not sad at all that Republicans care about nothing but trashing the current administration for political gain: It's typical and , these days, expected.

    Please continue.

    From article:

    Trump is not a man and he did nothing but cause chaos and division in this country. Worship him as much as you want but he is worthless and a loser trying to topple our Constitution. Why any of you are cool with that is beyond my understanding. I'm beyond caring about it as well. Whatev.

    I’m a trump supporter over Biden but I’m hardly a trump supporter without trump criticism. You obviously have not read all my posts.

    They stopped fighting, that’s right but It wouldn’t have happened the same way even if they did stop fighting under trump.

    you say too bad that they didn’t leave on time. Biden said the military would stay until all who wanted out got out. That was obviously a lie and his care for American citizens was proven to hold zero water. But don’t worry, he kept his promise to illegals. Biden is joke

    No , I haven’t. That being said, there aren’t many people more odious, ignorant and incompetent than Dirty Donnie. Even if all the right claims about Biden is 100% true, that still puts him orders of magnitude better than DD, a career criminal and con man.

    Biden once upon a time may have been a better option. As far as right now he’s not at all. His cognitive ability is on display and it’s embarrassing. Trump definitely pissed me off a few times but with democrats controlling the house it was a good check on him. I would hate to have him with 3 out of 3 control. That said, Biden is not no hero of the American people.

    Well, it's been a few months since Americans in Afghanistan were told to shelter in place, so they obviously had to leave their shelters to find food and water or they'd be dead by this time if they hadn't.

    Plus that's combined with the dreaded midnight letters left at houses threatening to kill all within unless they turned themselves in to the Taliban. So, yeah the Taliban must know that they are there, and we haven't heard of any mass executions of Americans yet, so the stranded Americans are not in immediate danger. We just got to get to them. Numbers will vary.

    Yes.....why didn't they leave when they were advised to do so?? As I understand it....some made a conscious decision to stay..........for their own varied reasons.

    Did anyone expect the Afghan leader to turn tail and run?? (and make up lies to justify his conduct??

    Maybe the important lesson to be learned is not to start a war without having an end plan. Also you cannot "war " on an ism.........(terrorism) Or invade a nation to find ONE terrorist leader that want' even there. Twenty years ......and not much to show for it. A lot of American domestic problems could have been fixed with that money. This does not cover the number of fine young people that are suffering from various forms of mental conditions that are a product of the war.

    Exactly. The left's problem is they don't know which football to watch. Words mean everything to them, to hell with what is really going on.

    There are commercial flights to and from Afghanistan, so I am not sure why the word "trapped" was inserted the headline, but its FOX, so I guess they spiced it up a little. Old habits die hard. Some people who are US citizens, or dual citizens actually choose to live there.

    The article itself shows they are not trapped.

    "In terms of how many American citizens we estimate are currently in Afghanistan, the Department of State is in contact with 196 American citizens who are ready to depart –and arrangements are being made for them to do so, either via air or over ground – and another 243 American citizens have been contacted and are not ready to depart, either because they want to stay in Afghanistan or aren’t ready,"

    Do these numbers include the ones that have already departed there bodies at the hands of the Taliban? I wonder how many? Don't think many Christians have fared very well.
