A $billion gift to terrorists. This is not negligence. This was a certainty. Is our military such that we can abandon billions of dollars of good, functional weaponry? We should have brought it back home. It is not helpful to a country to destroy such things in place. Many WW2 tanks still litter parts of northern Africa, and if not removed could remain there for a thousand years.

Not just abandon, #2, but have to risk new combat air missions to destroy tanks, artillery and ammunition depots that we left behind. More military personnel lost, potentially, over this stunning clusterfk of a miserable failure.

So the answer is to push him out to the nearest memory care facility and welcome Kamalie to the Resolute Desk? By the way, I thought President Trump said something really big was going to happen in August. Ok, Mr. President, it's August 14th and I don't seem to notice anything big going on. Did I miss it? Melania bought a new pair of stilettos?

Where is the surprise in this. We left those weapons in the hands of people we gave them to and when they were beaten those weapons went to the victors. probably a good portion of those who we gave the weapons to were Taliban anyway. I haven't read of any great battles or great defenses of these places the Taliban have taken. Where are the video's of the battles? How many Afghan soldiers have died fighting? Where are the wounded?

I have relatives over so this morning they have the See BS morning show on. The failed evening news caster Jeffie Glor said that the Taliban was taking Afghan military equipment and weapons. Funny that the fake news hack left out the fact that they’ve also seized US hardware. Anything to protect our idiot president and his regime’s stupidity.

milley, austin and biden - are following the directions of hosingyou obalma whose only achievement was the rise of ISIS and the continuation of the influence of Iran as an international influencer of terrorism - watch out for many more September 11's because it's only a matter of time, something our adversaries know quite a lot about but we are too quick and want what we want not only now but, three Saturdays ago.

I would not doubt that Biden wanted the terrorists to have the equipment. That would also fall in line with his mentor's (Stinky) thinking. Conveniently, military vehicles do not have keys or key fobs to get them started. Push a button and off you go in your new tank.

#4, you are working in the "glass half full - glass half empty" environment. Still two weeks to go and Trump is rarely if ever wrong. Biden "worked" for a partial 3 days last week and he is visibly going downhill and gaining speed. Any day now he will be photographed chasing some senator's daughter around a big crowded room with his zipper open and whatever he has in there hanging out.

Biden has little to nothing to do with two decades of US military support, training and nation building. It's the "freedom loving" Afghan security forces who cannot/will not defend themselves. Surrender monkeys don't just live in France. How many more American troops would you see killed defending Afghan freedom from the Taliban? For how long? To what end?

The same thing happened in Iraq when ISIS took over. Why won't these people defend themselves? If they won't defend themselves, there is no point in nation building or establishing a government. They won't defend either. Btw, who told Biden the Taliban would be unable to retake Afghanistan? Whomever did was a liar or grossly incompetent. If they lied, was Biden in on it? With this crew, its entirely possible. If its incompetence, why hasn't anyone been fired?

Now American rescue troops being sent back can get killed with American weapons and ammunition. Who's the real Junior Varsity now? The United States military is run by office worker buffoons with medals on their chest for papercuts and smashed toes. They are political activist destroying this country with other Deep State idiots. I pity veterans of all wars except WWII.

As soon as the Communist Chinese recognize the Taliban and arrive in Taliban run Afghanistan, copies of all the American military equipment that the Biden crew and the “woke” Generals left behind during their rapid retreat from Afghanistan will be loaded up and sent to Communist China for evaluation, examination, and copying. That’s just common sense.

Presidential historian and CNN contributor Tim Naftali argued that it’s fair to compare the Fall of Saigon to Kabul’s descent into chaos, now that the Taliban has taken control of the Afghanistan capital.Naftali joined CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield on Sunday to discuss the implications of Kabul’s fall and the US’ scramble to evacuate allies and American citizens from the country. Whitfield noted that the conversation was occurring hours after Secretary of State Antony Blinken went on a media tour to defend the Biden administration’s approach, where the secretary of state insisted there was no comparison between Kabul and the end of the Vietnam War.

The Bagram Air Base in Kabul, Afghanistan has reportedly surrendered to the Taliban. According to reports on Sunday, the Afghan military handed the base to the Taliban after militant forces entered Kabul.The base is known to house prisoners from both Taliban and Islamic State groups who have been classified as terrorist fighters and who have now been freed since the invasion. The Taliban has suggested it’s trying to take over the capital and claimed they want to bring peace once they do. Bagram was built by the Soviet Union in the 1950s and occupied by U.S. and NATO forces until July.

Washington— House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is proposing a procedural vote this month that would set up future passage of two economic measures crucial to President Joe Biden’s domestic agenda, a move Democratic leaders hope will win must-have votes from unhappy party moderates.In a letter Sunday to Democratic lawmakers, Pelosi, D-Calif., suggested that the House will take a single vote that would clear an initial hurdle for both a budget resolution and a separate infrastructure bill. The budget blueprint would open the gate for Congress to later consider a separate, $3.5 trillion, 10-year bill for health, education and environment programs.Nine centrist Democrats said Friday they would oppose the budget resolution until

US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin reportedly said he was 'beyond disappointed' with the Afghan army's capitulation to the Taliban and added: 'You can't buy willpower, and you can't buy leadership.' The Pentagon chief is said to have made remarks during a call with other US government members Sunday, as the Afghan capital began to fall to the Taliban, its US embassy closed, and the number of American troops deployed there rose by 1,000 to 6,000. Austin and fellow intelligence officials blame the Afghan army for not opposing the Taliban in a more prominent way, FOX News reported.

But they’re labor intensive for cooks, and therefore less desirable. To properly defrost a 20 pound bird, for example, can take up to six days.

What will it take for Joe Biden to admit he is disastrously wrong about Afghanistan? The US leader struck a defiant pose last week. Sounding like a slightly desperate Olympics coach, he told Afghans it was their country. If they want it, they have to fight for it. In American politics-speak, this is called tough love. Without the love. Biden has more hands-on foreign policy experience than any president since George HW Bush. That doesn’t mean he knows what he’s doing. Opinion polls suggest his abrupt Afghan withdrawal has majority public support. That doesn’t mean Americans will remain indifferent as the carnage and misery mount.

Listen, as Lester Holt and Pete Williams describe how the “terror threat advisory” isn’t based on any actual threats or plots, but just a lot of “anti-government rhetoric” that includes things like “opposition to COVID measures” like masks and vaccine measures. From Yahoo News: “Extremists may seek to exploit the emergence of Covid-19 variants by viewing the potential re-establishment of public health restrictions across the United States as a rationale to conduct attacks,” the DHS advisory said, adding that “pandemic-related stressors… may contribute to more violence this year.” So, if there aren’t any actual plots

As the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack looms, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum is crying poverty for the second year in a row. This time, it says it can’t afford to mount special exhibitions planned to mark the two-decade milestone.

But no such bailout appears in the offing this time. In fact, this year, the museum is shamefully restricting the reading-of-the-names ceremony exclusively to the families of 9/11 victims.
