That's a Talibaw, for sure. Still an a-hole, though.

So, when will there be a full congressional investigation committee on the troop withdrawal and failures of this past week.

First I would make sure that all civilians are evacuated prior to giving up our kilowatt stronghold and abandoning the country.
2nd, I’d push for monetary policy that doesn’t result in hyperinflation and gratuitous spending.
2 right there that would
Make me significantly better than the current regime.

A total?
I haven't seen numbers anywhere. I was hoping useless Joe could provide some insight, but that didn't happen.

Which we drew down the bulk of from the country, leaving diplomats, pencil pushers, and media holding the bag.
Which is why thousands are being sent in, not to mention the assets very likely still on the ground in the region.

Russia says Kabul seems safer under Taliban than it was under Ghani

MOSCOW, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Russia's ambassador to Afghanistan praised the Taliban's conduct on Monday and said the group, still officially designated a terrorist organisation in Russia, had made Kabul safer in the first 24 hours than it had been under the previous authorities.
The comments by Ambassador Dmitry Zhirnov reflect an undisguised effort by Russia to deepen its well-established ties with the Taliban while stopping short, for now, of recognising the hardline Islamist group as the legitimate rulers of a country Moscow itself tried and failed to control before the Soviet Union withdrew its last forces in 1989.

Thanks. Amazing that either they don’t know, which is inexcusable…or they aren’t telling, which is suppression.
Either way. frick ‘em.

Biden's troop withdrawal is so genius, we now have more troops in Kabul than we had in the country when he was sworn in.
All part of the plan, for which all contingencies were accounted.

Now that is some 4D chess.

Did you take my statement as a compliment to Obama? He authorized the launch of one of the largest international terrorism programs in the history of the world. Don't mistake me for some Obama apologist.

That is hilarious. Biden administration officials who have never been outside of the ivy league or the beltway, which is most of them, are so clueless.
Is DEI even a thing in a majority nonwhite country? The State Dept is calling for inclusion of women, but not racial minorities. Do racial minorities only matter in majority white countries? I'm genuinely curious how these white liberals think, and how their rules get applied abroad.

I just want to point out that if you haven't read this article, it is full of lies and propaganda that are not backed up by reports from the ground.
Zhirnov also said that the Taliban had secured a perimeter around the Russian Embassy and is providing "security for the 100 or so people there".
