So, Blinken said, "There is no deadline on US evacuation efforts."?

That's not what his boss said yesterday. That's not what the administration told our allies in the G7.


He means there's no deadline on how long it will take US citizens to figure out how to evacuate themselves after we turn tail and run on the 31st.

When it comes out that "actively" doesn't include those scared to make the trip...



Or that have tried and been turned back. I will give them credit, they know using the right verbiage will convince many of their cultish followers they are doing all they can.


I take it to mean "actively" alive. Dead people don't really care about making it to the airport.

Whelp, the Turks seem to be just about gone. The Brits are drawing down, and so are US forces.

It appears the last hope are the not so "clandestine" or "secret" CIA efforts to move people to the airport and get them on some of the last planes.

ETA: This is probably by design so that if a "Blackhawk Down situation" does happen, they can just deny the mission ever even happened.

I asked President Biden what he will do if Americans are still in Afghanistan after the 8/31 deadline.
His response: “You’ll be the first person I call.”
Took no questions.

I know this sounds bad, but I hope those bastards post the killings/beheadings of Americans that he left over there so there can be no doubt he's responsible for American blood. If not the spin machine will say "See, we got them all out."

Because the situation has only gotten worse. Yes, thousands are going to be stranded over there.

As many? No, there’s way more than that. And you’re taking that little worm’s for this? He’s said to stop calling them if you’re trapped in Afghanistan. At least Biden has an excuse with his senility. Blinken deserves to be shot for his performance.

I wouldn’t call it so much a nightmare but it wasn’t fun. I was dismayed by my family insisting to vacation there.

Even if pictures and videos get out the media will bury them and big tech will censor them. Joe will just go into hiding for a few weeks while The Ginger goes out there and lies while belittling Doucy/FNC. Her comments about people "may not be ready to leave yet" are already building an excuse for them leaving American citizens behind.

This has turned political so I'll throw on my Poli Sci hat for a moment... After it's buried the RNC might have to avoid using it while campaigning. I think the far left will let it leak to the far right as bait and then hope it's used. They will then attack the Republicans for "politicizing a tragedy" thereby neutralizing campaigning on any part of the issue. A decade ago I'd say the RNC was way too smart to take the bait but they have an idiot running things now.

The smart way to handle it would be using conservative social media outlets to release those images without any connection to the RNC (thus turning that trap around.) The left will scream murder and it'll force the MSM to at least acknowledge the existence of them but wouldn't be able to pin it on the RNC. The campaign commercials write themselves if you get that out there with the CNN chevron on the footage.

I can guarantee you if there is a BHD situation and my son or his fellow crewmen do not come home in one piece the story will not go quietly into the night. I will not allow this administration to murder my son and other Americans and then just walk away.
