So if in the end 9,000 Americans are killed in Afghanistan, which is more than 9/11 and American soldiers who died in this war combined, the 3,000 being killed was worse? Got it! How am I being dramatic since that’s our current course?

That’s actually a good point that I had not considered.

Because that is not what you are asserting. For a week now you've been saying, "This is worse than 9/11". You can't make that statement and expect to be taken seriously when it is followed up by a hell of alot of "ifs".

Pay attention to what Joy is saying. It's very revealing WRT the direction of the American Left's talking heads from here forth:
This Kabul Kerfluffle is CASE CLOSED, TRUMP'S FAULT. Period. Move on.
Fairly soon, we will see the entire US Ministry of Propaganda apparatus close ranks and parrot these two talking points.
One can go ahead and continue to spend endless hours watching US mass media and thinking "this is the point in time in which the media realizes that the Dems are idiots" but that's a waste of your time and thought. No matter what happens from now on in A-ghan will be blamed on Trump if it is bad. If anything can be said to be "good" then the credit will be given to Tough Guy Joe.
CASE CLOSED TRUMP'S FAULT
These are the two main talking points for the foreseeable future.

I’m just saying if we stay on course that it will be. Maybe not at this second it isn’t, but 9/11 was quick and done with. This is a slow boil atrocity that’s going to go on for months and maybe over a year, and our enemies are really capitalizing on this unlike 9/11.

Meanwhile in the UK:

This is like a kid saying he prepared for a test when he scored in the single digits on a multiple choice test. You’d think that the laws of averages would dictate that you should at worst get a 25, so you just start suspecting they deliberately bombed. The levels of fail is actually impressive.

Boris should resign as well for this.

If you screen capture this when it shows the face/head what is that? Any chance this is propaganda? Just does not look right.

You have issues.

I wonder if Massoud is in touch with the Afghan pilots in Uzbekistan

Anything is possible, I suppose. I've seen that account post other videos that have been verified, though.
In gif form it looks more weird than the video.

If you look at 9/11 and the fall of Afghanistan in terms of military defeats. The fall of Afghanistan is much more of a defeat. It is a complex disaster as opposed to a more simple failure.
9/11 was a failure to anticipate that sort of attack on the country.
The fall of Afghanistan was a failure to anticipate, adapt and learn that occurred over two decades.
The US is far weaker today than it was in 2001.
