Taliban leadership knew about the ISIS threat. Did nothing. More coming.


And only the people in charge of this country right now are surprised by this.

I was just about to post that one and comment.

How can they "accelerate" evac efforts when the majority of countries have pulled their troops out and the airport gates have been "sealed shut"?

Be very skeptical of any numbers you hear from this point onward. Things are infinitely more difficult now than they were this time yesterday, and things were slowing down then.

Some mass atrocities are about to take place. It wouldn’t shock me if some scumbag even speaking English said “Yeah I know we’re not all completely sure if the “Contest to Kill 100 People with a Sword” ever took place, but regardless we’re about to put that to rest today. I and Colonel Ali are about to do it ourselves, and we’ll have people follow us with iPhones so we get an accurate number unlike those dumbasses that lost count and then doubled the number the next day.”

And she used a photo of Biden tarding-out in a context that implies that he's overcome by emotion.

Then hearing military KIAs without branch only to then hear Marines and be relieved, then being pissed at myself for feeling relief knowing somewhat what other dads are going through tonight as CAOs knock on their doors to tell them the boy they raised into a fine man is coming home under a flag.
Takes a big and brave man to let it show like this. We know where your son got it from.

When someone is in the military the whole family shares in the mission. May God keep your whole family safe and secure.

Hey take all this political bullshite to the political board where you can bitch whine and plan to storm the capital or whatever you dumb mfers do.

If you are so goddamn dense, all you can do is blame Biden or Trump etc, you are a bigger threat to America as the fricking Taliban and Isis-k.

This is plenty of blame to go around etc. But we need to get our people out of there now and wipe out these ISIS mfers. You know who else wants to kill all these ISIS mfers, the damn Taliban. The best you can get in the Middle East is the enemy of my enemy because no Muslims are ever really your friend. Work with the Taliban kill all the isis mfers, get everyone out and end this shite show.

Here is someone who supported Biden and is in defense mode, not to mention, making the thread more politicized than anyone else.

All WE can do is share knowledge, opinions, and discuss the situation.

What we state has zero impact on how quickly we get our people out.

No one in this thread can actually speed anything up, so take those statements somewhere else.

Do not use that as a deflection.
