Amazing what happens when the media actually does their job.

Austin sounds like a fricking moron.

Miley just said "The state department is working on the procedures to get people out of the country"

There was no planning at all.

I'm pleasantly surprised that the reporters are holding their feet to the fire.


If you had a media that was more concerned with holding those in power accountable as opposed to simply pushing an agenda, this country would look totally different.

But yeah, this is pretty good.

This is not true. That may be the agreement signed in Doha, but that is not true on the ground.




That is the legal guidance they are using, and the Taliban are the enforcers.

He is saying the same thing, they are at the airport and they are at the airport until they are told to leave which appears to be the end of the month.

"So what you are saying is our only option is hoping the Taliban will negotiate?"

Austin: "Uh, durr....." (motions to Milley)

Helene Cooper is anything but based.

She's as a big a government bootlicker as anyone, but I'm glad to FINALLY see the MSM holding MFers accountable.

Milley still has PTSD from that night when Pres. Trump ran across the street with that Bible. When he heard words from the gospel, he almost melted.

Correct. But you are acting as if it would be impossible for us to just not follow the agreement. It isn't.

The constraint is completely unilaterally self-imposed.

Extraction. There ARE other options. That we choose to restrict ourselves artificially to an agreement that neither side has ever adhered to is ridiculous and a cop-out.

Is anyone else sorta mindblower at how shitty Blinken and Austin are at talking to the press? If Milley wasn't there right now, Austin would be getting destroyed. Dude can't answer basic shite.

Also, will give credit to these reporters who are bringing it to them. Genuinely shocked at the quality of the questions and the awful performance of Austin and then Blinken on Sunday.

Milley looks like shite. Looks like he hasn't had much sleep. Those black bags under his eyes!

I cannot begin to imagine how demoralizing this has to be for our military. The amount of buck-passing exhibited in the past 24H by our "leadership" is staggering.

If Milley or Austin had the slightest modicum of shame, they would resign immediately.
