You can tell Ghani personally since Biden is letting him fly to the US to live here today.
So now this senile bastard is going to stack his own Tehran on top of his own Saigon? frick...McCarthy should run to the house clerk to file impeachment charges if the bastard doesn't stack his own Nixon resignation moment on top.

Merkel sounds like she is saying HELL NAW to having Afghani's coming to live in Germany.

quote:

erman Chancellor Angela Merkel has described the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan as “bitter, dramatic and terrible,” calling on the international community to increase aid to Afghanistan's neighboring countries to prevent Afghan asylum seekers from traveling onwards to Europe."

“This is a particularly bitter development. Bitter, dramatic and terrible…it is terrible for the millions of Afghans who have worked for the freedom of a society," Merkel said during a televised news conference on Monday.
“We need to make sure that the many people who have big worries and concerns...have a secure stay in countries neighboring Afghanistan...we should not repeat the mistakes of the past when we did not give enough funds to UNHCR and other aid programs, and people left Jordan and Lebanon toward Europe,” she added.


Also, Turkey is posturing that this is going to create a Humanitarian issue for all Mediterranean countries.

You're both wrong. Those are MWDs and as such have a rank higher than even some soldiers (and I say that as a vet and father of a current soldier). They aren't some stray on the street.


Call them whatever you want and give them whatever rank you want, but at the end of the day they are dogs and people’s lives should take precedence. Once the allies are out, then I’m all for spending a bunch of money to recover them.

What's the most disarming thing Biden can do right now?

Come out and acknowledge the buck stops with him and he was wrong and we have to pick up the pieces, etc.?

I don't expect that, but it seems like anything else is going to be a net loss. But if I'm him, I'm probably just evading until the media establishment decides they've given me enough shite and starts providing cover.

Well, they aren't wrong....

Kabul turned into Venice Beach practically overnight with fleeing Afghanis camped everywhere.

He is going to follow the tried and true strategy:

Put it on others, most specifically the previous admin, and then say he got us out of this war that we have been in for 20 years and that's our top priority...

And then have the vast majority of the MSM spin it for him eventually so it doesn't fester.

And it'll likely work.

Oh my......some random tweet:

quote:

MSNBC is working overtime to blame this whole mess on Biden for doing what most Americans want? getting out us of this war! While showing misleading videos of things happening on the civilian side of the airport in Kabul yet ignoring the orderly US military side of the airport.

Well Turkey and other Mediterranean countries, do something to help your people. You may have to use your own money and resources, but give it a try...

There should be an impeachment inquiry regardless, especially if any Americans die over there during this ordeal.

Someone please go look in the Rose Garden and see if you see a lost old man because he is needed at the Podium.

He was late on Afganistan and he is late to his own Press Conference. The timing is perfect for him.
