They are horrible. But those Cobra-esque white ninja outfits have a certain Je ne sais quois to them.

Not Hugo Boss, but they aren’t too bad

They are particularly impressive when you realize the women who made them were peeping out of a slit in window drapes when sewing.

That's kind of scary in its own right. Some of the areas people are being housed will look Katrina-esque in a day or two, if not already.


They took in a total of 4500 which was the max.

Who said the $28 million the US spent on the wrong colored uniforms would not be used? The Taliban clearly found a use for them.

Actually, prayers for PisgahPete because his area was absolutely decimated three days ago. I hope he is safe and his home did not get destroyed like the thousands of others who were wiped out.

Welp.

Biden Admin just came out and say no Afghan flights to the US, at the moment.

Qatar has said they are full and won't allow anymore Afghani's for processing.

No flights for 8 hours.


The majority of the 6K folks are "refugee" status. They aren't SIVs.

So they aren't SIVs and many aren't American (% wise anyways).

This is beyond a cluster frick. Not having a proper place for a staging area is killing us.

That whole ordeal was completely overblown. Those uniforms were perfectly fine

the female uniforms didn't have enough crotch room for dick and balls.

We have a terrific staging area on the airport where we are giving people MREs and water while they patiently wait transport out. This was all designed and put into place by Biden and his folks months ago--all the contingencies were accounted for which is why this is going so smooth. Please stop looking at the Russian disinformation videos and photos online. If there are problems at all its because that mean orange bastard Trump caused them and laid a trap for Biden to fall into his trap.

That would make some sense. Daylight departures are going to be the riskest. Its 21:00 over there now so I would expect flights to resume.

Hell, Stephanopoulos was served up a perfect opportunity to ask a very critical question and instead asked him how he felt when he saw the chaos at the airport.


He acted like he didn’t hear Biden say “ That Was Four Days Ago, Five Days Ago” when he should have had a hell of a follow up saying first off that was two days ago, but that’s beside the point, what the hell does it matter if it was four or five days ago?

They even have a “special forces” unit called Badri 313

You are too optimistic because Natasha Bertrand, CNN's White House reporter, just reported that there are over 10,000 people who are processed and ready to go but there is nowhere to fly them to because Qatar is refusing to accept more Afgans because they reached capacity so all evacuation flights are now paused until the US can make new plans with another country in Europe who is currently telling the US to go frick themselves.
