Taliban taking over Afghanistan

[Tgo01]

I even told him it was a bit premature to declare victory as so many vulnerable people were still crowding around the only airport to evacuate the country from. He just had to jump the gun in a lame attempt to give Biden any props, even going so far as to get almost each and every detail wrong in his post while claiming I was getting the details wrong.

SAD!

Another explosion being reported. Being reported it's a larger explosion than the other 2.

This being reported:

The gates to Kabul airport have been locked shut and evacuations suspended. A government source tells me that a permanent hold on evacuations is likely.

A permanent hold on evacuations is likely while Seran himself admitted 1500 Americans are still trapped in the country. You finally gonna admit what a failure Biden is now, Seran? Or you just gonna bitch at me for pointing out how much of a failure he is?

That's what happens when you are just trying to find a way to turn a negative into a positive for political nonsense.

Aren't you literally attempting the exact opposite.. for political nonsense?

It's like you don't see it.

Biden has fucked this up so badly that I now think we shouldn't have withdrawn from Afghanistan. Seriously, how is it possible for someone to be THIS incompetent?

ISIS wants us to stay so they can suicide bomb us more. It is part of their recruitment that they are fighting "the Great Satan." If we leave, it is a little harder for them to get at us.

The incompetence just gets worse and worse!

U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport, a choice that's prompted outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.

The move, detailed to POLITICO by three U.S. and congressional officials, was designed to expedite the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan as chaos erupted in Afghanistan’s capital city last week after the Taliban seized control of the country. It also came as the Biden administration has been relying on the Taliban for security outside the airport.

Since the fall of Kabul in mid-August, nearly 100,000 people have been evacuated, most of whom had to pass through the Taliban's many checkpoints. But the decision to provide specific names to the Taliban, which has a history of brutally murdering Afghans who collaborated with the U.S. and other coalition forces during the conflict, has angered lawmakers and military officials.


“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” said one defense official, who like others spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic. “It’s just appalling and shocking and makes you feel unclean.”

Yes that's right. While there are reports of the Taliban going door to door and hanging people who helped the US officials were like "DURRRR! Here are other Afghans who assisted us! Please help them reach the airport!"

You are thinking like a westerner. Like Gelston said, they want us there, they are now more emboldened than ever.
