Been a rough few days at work so I’ve been out of the loop. What is the long term plan for these afghans we are rescuing and bringing to our bases?

After at least four attempts in as many days, the family finally was whisked away by helicopter Wednesday in a dramatic rescue — called Operation Promise Kept — carried out under cover of darkness by the U.S. military and its allies, said Robert McCreary, a former congressional chief of staff and White House official under President George W. Bush, who has worked with special forces in Afghanistan.

Any chance the Taliban are over extended in their show of force in Kabul?
I wouldn't think so. I don't believe they ever intended to fully control every town and city at this point.
I also don't think they are surprised that the same people who shrugged their shoulders when they showed up would do the same for any resistance force that passes through.

This jackass on FNC David Tafuri just said "unfortunately this will hurt Biden". No fricking shite. This is the simple minded thinking of these dipshits from the Barry & Joe administrations.
ETA: This train's never late...blaming Trump.
ETA2: I've never felt like throwing my freaking TV out the window until now. Listening to this bullshite is infuriating.

Currently, I don't believe many who aren't SIVs have been brought to our bases. That may soon change, as the countries who were taking in refugees are now refusing them due to their facilities being full.

If these frickheads in the administration think the Taliban are letting Americans through, I suggest they stick KaMaLa and Nancy on a plane to Afghanistan. That way the two of them can get a photo op while helping usher Americans from their homes to the airport. What's the worst that could happen

How discombobulated and out of touch is this damn Administration? Biden's "address" was already delayed. Pushing it a couple more hours wouldn't have been a big deal. That would have allowed him to go on tv and say, "We are aware of the issues Americans and others are having reaching the airport. It is unfortunate and we will do everything in our power to help those people get to that airport." Then, you point to the multiple good reports coming out right now of our troops doing just that, outside the airport walls.
But, no! No fricking way could they manage that. Instead, they sent him in front of the world to outright lie to the people, and not just lies to cover your arse, but lies that went against everything other high ranking people in the Administration (who are presumably in constant contact with the fricking President) would very shortly expose of their own free will without being pushed into it.
What. The. frick?
How, how is this such a shitshow? Who the frick is running this outfit? I know I keep asking that, but I legitimately cannot tell who is calling the shots.

I don't know. NATO has been Biden bashing all day today. I haven't seen anything directly from the UN.

Bret Baier pointing out how disjointed Biden, State, and Defense are. Ridiculous. These congressional hearings are going to be brutal. Wouldn't be surprised if the DNC told Joe to resign so KaMaLa could have a chance for them to keep the WH in 2024.
ETA: If they wait until Jan 21, 2023 she could serve as President 1 day short of 10 years.

Remember when everyone got all pissy when Trump made our NATO allies pay their fair share?
Bet they’d give anything to have that “problem” again rather than this disaster.

Turn it off. As soon as these shows stop reporting news and start to bring in "experts" or "analysts". Turn. That. shite. Off.

It seems as though trump made a deal with the taliban in 2020. He was going to leave 800 overseer troops.
The afghan vice president told pompeo this would fail.
The taliban had been paying the afghan army money to give up weapons and quit. This was all known by trump's team.
The plan was for the taliban to have 75%control and the afghan president 25%.
This was always going to be a major problem if we wanted to get out of there.

Trump would have never left thousands of Americans stranded. Period.
