Since the bombers are dead, hopefully your boy's brothers are in the process of tracking down the cell and shooting some mother frickers in the knee caps.


If they find them he will be outside the wife with them. At 6,000 rounds a minute he has a hard time just hitting knee caps but I think he can still get the job done.

Great, additionally to having a list of every Afghan who has helped us, they also have the biometrics of everyone who has ever helped us

We've known that for a week now. What they don't have is the software, or the ability to use it. They would have to rely on help from Pakistan to do that. Pakistan will help them eventually, but I'm not sold they will with so many eyes on them right now.

This has just been a terrible Friday as we hear more and more
This is by far the biggest frickup in Presidential history. Not only will we pay for it now, but will for many years to come.
I expect this number to rise much much higher, and after the 31st many more Americans will be slaughtered. What an atrocity

Pen Farthing and his animals appear to have been given access to the airport and their charter flight has been given clearance to land in the UK.

The Taliban will ask Qatar to help run the airport after Coalition forces leave. I guess that takes Turkey out of the equation.

Yahoo is doing the same. There is a link in an email to click and nothing comes up when you click it.

And it never happens when it is something favorable for the POS potato.

Always happens when it is someone with negative comments on the potato.

I think we are very soon to see the transfer of complete control of the airport to the Taliban. That includes the "Military" side that Coalition forces were operating.

This would likely mark the end of evac flights.

ETA: By "soon" I mean within hours.

I'm seeing multiple tweets like this pop up. None from large outlets, yet.

There are reports indicating that Taliban forces have entered the military part of Kabul Airport.

Trying to confirm it with the Coalition.

Which means we’ve officially stranded at least 1500 Americans.

Unreal. I wish Biden was one of them.

Jen Psaki, with one of the first things said about Afghanistan, said the Biden admin is making sure that refugees will be getting COVID testing and also they are going to get vax'd.

Welcome to America.
