    Biden says get to the airport and we will help you get out

    what should he say, stay hidden and we will come find you?

    anyone that can get to the airport should get there, that is the safest option, we will have to deal with the rest later

    Brits, Germans, etc quietly leaving the perimeter, getting their folks and getting out.

    The US is not.

    Biden told Americans to shelter in place.

    Then he told them get to the airport but you are on your own.

    Westerners reporting even when they get to the airport, past Taliban checkpoints, the local afghans are storming the walls out of desperation and the Americans can't get in.

    Biden just said he will stay as long as he needs to, which is his 2nd reneged deal with the taliban.

    They will see this as a reason for war. They are consolidating their forces, the majority of Americans are around Kabul which means they know where a military response would be and they can take the airport anytime they want.

    Our military will have to be transferred deep into enemy territory. They will be surrounded and the enemy has new forces and shiny new American weaponry.

    US military won't be shooting or carpet bombing its own by shooting into the city.

    And just like that, we will be at 9/11/2021. Where the force in power is the Taliban, after over 2 decades of fighting the US. Think they will be friendly?

    Americans murdered, ransomed, sold into slavery.

    Same with other westerners and the afghans who worked with us.

    POTATUS DID THIS AND THERE IS PROBABLY LITTLE WE CAN DO.

    I am praying I'm wrong but I'm powerless to do anything and that's the worst part.

    This is just getting started.

    So when ABC tells Biden people were falling off airplanes and his macabre response is that was 4 or 5 days ago (it was 2 days ago) I don't see this ending well.

    I find some folks willing total lack of knowledge... to think they can point at a group of people and demonize them for something that is totally a lie..... I find it truly amazing...

    You travel outside the US, you always travel at risk. With decisions come consequences. Btw, Otto Warmbier was a thief who was convicted of stealing while visiting North Korea. Why anyone would travel to North Korea while Kim Jong-Un is calling the shots needed to have their head examined especially when the North Koreans take stealing very seriously.

    I concede that some of these people have made stupid, idiotic decisions.

    Even if you are not swayed by the prospect of rescuing citizens, I can't imagine any worse press for Biden than every few weeks a citizen gets their head chopped off on international television.

    Ah, so you are like Biden. Wearing masks is more important than rescuing Americans from the hands of the Taliban.

    I think you overlooked the overstatement…. Only the right do not wear masks and don’t get vaccinated and are misinformation and not true.

    Well, if 1,000 Americans dying a day of covid doesn't prompt some into getting vaccinated and/or wearing a mask, I'd say a lot of Americans are pretty uncaring about the suffering of others.

    Yes, the civilians should have been evacuated weeks before we abandoned Bagram.

    Biden should be on TV right now saying "We're going to do everything in our power to get every American out of Afghanistan. If so much as a hair on an American's head is harmed getting to the airport, there will be military consequences."

    Why isn't he?

    You have been disinformed.

    The inconvenient truth: healthcare workers and black Americans are most likely to resist vaccination.

    “A significant number of the state’s more than 600,000 health care workers remain unvaccinated. To date, 75 percent of the state’s roughly 450,000 hospital workers, 74 percent of the state’s 30,000 adult care facility workers and 68 percent of the state’s 145,500 nursing home workers have been fully vaccinated, the state said.”
    NEW YORK TIMES, Health Care Workers in New York Must Get Vaccine, Cuomo Says,
    In his first major policy announcement since saying he would resign, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said New York health care workers must be vaccinated by Sept. 27., By Sharon Otterman, Aug. 16, 2021.

    But what do they know? Right? ;-)

    Biden probably knows that at this point if the Taliban does not let the trapped Americans most if not all of them will never get out.

    Biden should declassify and release copies of the conclusions given to him at his intelligence briefings during this "withdrawal".

    Do you have a source for "1,000 Americans dying a day of covid" now?

    I have not seen any current stats.

    He should, but he's a degenerate. I think the deadline is September 11th, set by the Taliban, for American to be gone. After that, I would expect the Taliban will imprison or execute any remaining Americans. The Taliban is not an honest or disciplined group. The head of the Taliban might order that Americans not be harmed, but one little group of Taliban might think it fun to drag a few dead Americans through the streets or rape some American women. They can't help themselves. They're rabid animals.

    I think it is too late for our military to save them. It would have been very doable a few weeks ago,

    The trapped Americans should consider trying to get out on their own while the Taliban forces are concentrated in the cities.
    IOW, they will probably have to walk out, hide or surrender.
    I doubt that they will be able to hide for very long.
