And no, "begging" was Tgo's term.
When it comes to evacuating Americans yes, I would use the term "beg" in this instance. Why are we asking Taliban for permission to evacuate our own US citizens? Why aren't we going in to rescue US citizens?

Which is why I said we can blame a lot of shit on the past three presidents but this debacle of a withdraw is all on Biden.

He negotiated this withdraw.

He was the one who has now admitted he knew the Taliban would control the country within 3-4 months after we withdrew our troops yet he didn't evacuate US citizens ahead of time.

He was the one who decided to close all military airbases instead of keeping them open to help with evacuations.

He was the one who forced us to use one airport in the most populated city in the entire country to rely on us evacuating US citizens.

He was the one who ghoulishly told us to not worry about an Afghan falling to his death after clinging to a US plane because that was 4 days ago, fat!
