So are yall wanting the military to go door to door countrywide and track people down and bring them to Kabul or the airport? That ship sailed days to weeks ago.

Just trying to understand what you all are expecting to be done at this point.

Good grief. The FIRST thing a person in power should NOT do is take options OFF the table. This is more telegraphing weakness. The US has explicity, and publicly, told the Taliban they can wait it out and have 10,000 hostages if they want them.

We're doing everything but sending Biden over there to take a knee. Maybe he'll go when he's done with his vacation?

I agree on the messaging 100%. That's why the deadline to leave was always stupid to put into words/on paper.

As far as my question on what to do, I am referring to the situation on the ground. Actual, practical actions, not just continuing to get mad about how fricked up the entire operation is.

Without re-inserting our forces nationwide, what else are we supposed to do other than tell people they have to find their own way to the airport? (Again--I know its fricked. That has been established ad nauseum and no one disagrees)
