This loss of US Military lives; leaving US citizens and Afghans who helped us behind; leaving all of our arms and technology to our enemy; and exposing the United States to terror attacks again is, quite literally, making me sick to my stomach. I would have never thought that a president of the United States would betray this country as biden has done.

It’s amazing seeing the talking points spread throughout the communists. I’ve seen this straw man so many times over the last few days. It’s always a clear sign they spend time on DU

Private operators are looking for minor assists from WH & State Dept to get Americans & SIVs out of Afghanistan. Both WH & State are pointing fingers at each other & doing nothing. Meanwhile, WH staffers are asking these operators for help getting folks out.

Gee....that's almost like putting the State Department in charge of this evac wasn't the best, nor the standard, decision. If only the military had been given the point on the Non Combatant Evacuation Mission like it has every single other time we've had such missions......

There have been Taliban sources claiming that a US C-130 has crashed in Farah Province on it's way to Qatar.
It is likely a rumor, but will be something look for in future reporting.

Nope. Still in Kabul or at least Afghanistan. He and his team will likely be the last out.
MIT I missed this reply. I’m praying for him and his fellow soldiers but know as a mom, I’m praying for you and your family as well.

I served under slick willy and I thought we had a crisis of leadership then. I can't even imagine what today's troops are going through.

As bad as Clinton was, as bad as Obama was, Biden has shown “badness” is a logarithmic scale. He has done a moon shot of terrible.

I understand the Suicide bomber was carrying 25 lbs of explosives which seems like quite a bit.
I would be interested to know if the can test the residue. They will probably never let us know, but if it was US Military then chances are the bomber was supported by the Taliban

Special Ops veterans' secret mission to rescue 500 Afghans in Kabul rivaled a 'Jason Bourne thriller,' commander says
quote:
An all-volunteer group of American Special Operations veterans of the Afghan war carried out a secret nighttime mission, called the "Pineapple Express," to ferry at-risk Afghans and their families to safety, according to ABC News.
The media outlet reported that the group worked under cover of night on Wednesday, and in tandem with the United States military and embassy, to transfer hundreds of Afghans into a US military-controlled zone of Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport.
As many as 500 Afghan special operators, assets, enablers, and their families were handed over to the protective custody of the American military by Thursday morning, ABC News reported.
