    Dude... that one is just a troll. There is no thought involved in their posts. The whole goal is to get reaction through highly repetitive lies. This site has a weakness for bait and report trolls like this one. I'm sure I will get dinged for pointing it out in this post. lol

    16,000 evacuated in the last 24 hours. In a week or so this will be over. Then you guys can get back to the real stuff. Hunter’s laptop, Joe sniffing hair, Kamala being the most horrible person who once dated Willy Brown and other juicy GQP gossip.

    It will all be an 'under-the-table-deal' that will probably cost us a billion dollars or more. Joe and the stooges in his outfit will be happy to pay off the Taliban -- especially if the whole thing can be kept quiet! Joe will laugh and figure that's mere peanuts when we've already pissed away two TRILLION over there, or more....

    It will be interesting to see if Biden invites these guys to Camp David like Trump did.

    Trump bragged weeks before this that he deserves credit for the withdrawal and that he knew full well that the Afghan government would fall when we left. He gave a public speech about it.

    And I didn't support it and they reached their 2500 planned threshold from which the Taliban would have to meet their part of the deal, they did not and Biden surrendered.

    You should have kept reading
    The Embassy reminds U.S. citizens that the Travel Advisory for Afghanistan is Level 4-Do Not Travel due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, armed conflict, and COVID-19. U.S. citizens already in Afghanistan should consider departing.

    And then the Taliban failed to uphold it's part of the deal and I didn't support his plans to move out but he was quite clear it would be conditional, Biden make it unconditional and we see the results.

    I would have had them do as I have already stated. Biden surrendered, now we are left with his unnecessary foreign policy disaster with leaders from around the world roundly criticizing him for his lack of leadership and endangering some many lives.

    Nor did Iran. Biden is looking more and more like Carter each day. I hear them uttering "vengeance and mutual incomprehension." in the streets of Kabul!

    It’s time to leave, we can’t stay forever as you seem to want. The Taliban is going to take over if we leave today or in another 20 years

    How many Americans and I bet you are wishing for a diversion from this our greatest foreign policy failure since the fall of Saigon.

    And that is the WEAKEST possible argument for our withdrawal ignoring ALL implications and our national security and they had not taken over in 20 years or even the last 7 when the Afghan forces were the ones fighting on the frontlines.

    They were just waiting. If that army is so great then they don’t need us anyway.

    Nice imagination. That's not what's happening, and it's a false comparison between the Taliban and the Ayatollahs. Khamenei already had control of his country, and there was no US military presence. And it was 40 years ago.

    No, the Taliban want us gone as soon as possible. They have no motive to delay our withdrawal by taking hostages. What would be their demands? Get the **** out of our country? Seriously.

    I'm over this war as well. Should have pulled out when Osama was killed. I just don't want to leave innocent civilians in the wake of this fluster cluck! Leaving Americans in Taliban hands is INSANELY irresponsible.

    Yep, we are leaving and the Afghanis will go back to their tribal and religious territorial government. Good for us.
