The Worst Is Yet To Come

The "demilitarized" equipment is just the equipment at the Hamid Karzai Airport. They're having parades with "clean, dry, and serviceable" vehicles we left behind.

 

Sorry...I get busy doing real work.

 

we should have burned all the number 2 pencils as well.

 

Joe?

 

...and the killings begin...

UN report warns Taliban going ‘door to door’ for wanted
"The confidential report – provided by the UN’s threat-assessment consultants and seen by a number of news media – says the group has “priority lists” of individuals it wants to arrest and is threatening to kill or arrest family members if the wanted do not give themselves up."

Appearing on MSNBC on Sunday afternoon, filmmaker Michael Moore effusively heaped praise on President Joe Biden for getting the U.S. out of Afghanistan and used the widely shared photo of the last soldier to leave, Major General Chris Donahue, commander of the U.S. Army 82nd Airborne Division, to make an important point about the withdrawal.


Asking host Alex Witt to put up the photo on the screen, Moore explained what made it so significant.

"This is the last soldier out, alright?" he began. This is General Donahue. and he is coming up the ramp of the C-130. There is literally no other American soldier behind him there at the airport -- he is the last one out. If you are the last one out and you are -- what you are leaving behind is the mortal enemy from the last 20 years -- look at him. He's coming up the ramp with not -- what you do is you have to keep your back not to the enemy, you turn around and you back up the ramp with your gun pointed out because there is nobody there to protect you."

'Yet he knew he was safe, had his back to the Taliban, and walking up that ramp," he continued. "How did he know he wasn't going to get shot, wasn't going to be the last man out dying going up that ramp in he's looking forward, not turned around? The reason for that is we have a commander in chief right now who figured it out, he had to pivot very quickly because he did not expect the Taliban to take over the country that quickly. He had to negotiate, he had his team negotiating with the Taliban to make sure 124,000 people could get out safely so that not one of those planes would be shot down out of the air, and he had to make sure that the very last soldier, General Donahue, could walk up that ramp safely, without having to turn around to see if he was going to be shot by the Taliban."

"Who did that? Commander in Chief Joe Biden did that," he added for emphasis.

 

your side doesn't want them here anyway

After weeks bashing the Biden administration for its handling of the U.S. troop departure from Afghanistan and the subsequent suffering of the nation’s people, Carlson has now turned his sights instead directly on the refugees.


Carlson claimed Friday in a crackpot conspiracy theory that the refugees have been shipped to America to vote Democratic and “change” future elections, apparently forgetting that a Democrat already won the presidential election.



“First we invade, and then we’re invaded,” Carlson said ominously, warning that the refugees are “probably” coming to “your neighborhood.”

Yes, because everybody wants praise from Mikey. Get it from Mikey, you'll eat it.
Learn something, my child, before praising. Did the fat grunge wannabe share any of his millions with you, to post this?
Don't be an ignorant clown.
When did you serve in he Armed Forces, btw? Was it fun?

 

Did he really have a choice? Trump dismantled our base. So that secured staging in ground was gone. Basically did the absolute best he could do with a really bad situation. Now I heard a GOP is raising the stink talking about how we will appear to the rest of the world by not getting all of Afghani interpreters out. Did not hear so much when Trump abandoned the Kurds. Or when Trump was loving on Putin while he had bounties on US soldiers heads. Every country in the world know the US abandons it's allies . Did it in Vietnam, Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan.

 

Oh, how cute...Joe has a trumpterbation buddy.

 

The same bounties that have been now walked back as "shaky" at best and likely false?

As far as the Kurds, that issue goes back many years. It includes the elder Bush, Clinton, and the younger Bush (who had a chance to give them their own country but balked at upsetting Turkey, among other factors).

 

The media never reports their retractions with the same vigor as their original stories.

 

When did Trump give up Bahgram?

 

@yakpoo your title just keeps coming true....
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/state-department-blocking-private-evacuation-flights-afghanistan

Rick Clay, who runs the private rescue group PlanB, told Fox News that the State Department is the only thing preventing the flights he's organizing from leaving Afghanistan.
------
Two other American individuals separately involved in evacuation efforts, whom Fox News is not naming to avoid jeopardizing ongoing rescue efforts, similarly said that the State Department is the sole entity preventing their charter flights from leaving Afghanistan.
----
That individual suggested that the State Department's obstruction is motivated in part by embarrassment that private individuals are rescuing Americans that the U.S. government left behind.

 

As part of the Doha Agreement, the Trump administration agreed to an initial reduction of US forces from 13,000 to 8,600 troops by July 2020, followed by a complete withdrawal by 1 May 2021, if the Taliban kept its commitments

Do some research Miss Lyndsey instead of being trump's bucket boy

 

I never imagined that our own government could behave like this.

 

...but Biden ignored the Doha Agreement. That's why we're in this mess!

 

Oh yeah, the Taliban totally would have just been cool about the whole thing if we left 4 months ago /s

 

I bolded and underlined the key part of what you posted.
The Taliban did not keep its commitments, so that should have changed the course of events.
Also, Bagram could have been held with a fairly small amount of US troops who would provide support to the Afghan troops (who abandoned the base after they realized there would be zero US support).

 

The Trump agreement was conditions-based. Biden wanted out without condition. He felt that any conditions-based withdrawal would prolong an "endless" war. From April 13th...
