I dont disagree that its a joke.
But really who could have called their president fleeing with 3 cars and a helicopter full of money within 24 hours?

Well if they get captured or killed now this disgrace of an admin can just say they didn’t want to leave hard enough

Of everything that has happened in the past few days, that may actually be the least surprising.
Everyone paying attention knew Ghani would cut and run as soon as shite got dicey, to the point that his flight from the country was falsely reported days before he actually fled.
VP Saleh should have been the one we relied on. That fricker is still in the country leading a patchwork resistance army from the North.

Reporter asking about safe passage into aiport.
SECDEF says US forces focusing on security of airfield. Wouldn't confirm if troops would go get people. Wants to "deconflict"

Sec of Defense Austin [paraphase]: "The Taliban have been checking these documents and if folks have the documents. They are being let into the airport."

fricking finally. We get SOMEONE in their who can get shite done.
Just as a side note related to this: I know we all love to tout our SF guys in the US, and they are legit badass mfers, but the British SAS is the grandfather of special forces. They were the first, and are still, arguably, the best. Those guys get shite done.

Actually, yes. OMlandshark handles that for this thread.

Damn. I'd never thought I'd see the day when the press actually did their jobs with democrats on the podium.
Lady right now is hammering Austin hard about getting US citizens out.

SECDEF is either lying, or doesn't know what is going on on the ground.
