Can you imagine how badly these 2 incompetent buffoons will perform when China invades Taiwan?

In any sane world, this press conference would be their fricking green mile.

Milley was asked if they should have left sooner.... "Plenty of time for AARs" after the mission;

Dude is a POS

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.


Well nothing is impossible, I mean in theory you can just nuke the whole planet.

They have an agreement, the United States is already in violation of the agreement. They are lucky the Taliban doesn't start mortar attacking the airport.

They have no ability on the ground to go all over Afghanistan to find and pick people up anyway.

Anyone can always disregard an agreement, as soon as the United States doesn't listen... instant executions.

So we only have the capability of securing the airport.


We can’t also go in and take our people out.



All these words are bullshite.



The only thing that matters now is how many American citizens we can get out

And then how many friends of ours we can get out.


This is a shitshow

Do you wish you’d started the evacuation earlier and they just look at each other.
Wow I had to run and missed this, just wow. Do they not know they were both a video tape in congressional testimony?

Yeah - I almost spit up when I heard that.

Has to be the weakest most arse-covering statement ever uttered from any podium anywhere.

That is cause for removal right there.

I now feel worse about our situation- not better.

This is a total clusterfrick.

Joe needs to be removed. Dumb and Dumber need to be removed.

Milley should be court martialed

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.


Thank you!

On a side note regarding extraction. Hopefully we are making strategic arrangements now in case it comes to this. But as American citizens we should be in the dark. Because if we know, the Taliban will know. Can't have that. A good reporter shouldn't even ask that question.

They're both dumb as rocks but what they are saying is right from the book.

Its really not a military operation, its a State Department operation which they are assisting with.

You just don't go extracting people, exactly where do you come from and than extract to?

Let’s be honest, there isn’t really any will at the top to get our people out. If there was real leadership at the top, there would be around the clock bombing of the Taliban positions surrounding the city until they turned tail and ran for the fricking mountains. We would have absolutely zero problems getting people out then.

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.

Exactly what is he going to say?

I fricked those people over and now they are potentially dead?
