There are stories leaking out that (shockingly who would have guessed) but the Taliban has in fact been harassing and harming americans trying to get to the airport.
No safe passage....

This may jab a few here the wrong way but anyone who didn’t see this and other still pending cluster fucks coming is def, dumb or blind. Anyone who preferred this asshat over DJT is like China….asshole
I think this is precisely why we're upset. We're just a bunch of knuckleheads on the internet. We're not generals or politicians but we (99.99%) of us saw this coming a mile away and we can't understand how our leadership is so incompetent.

Don't mistake malevolence for incompetence.
The Afghan army didn't fold like a cheap suit because they suck at defending their country. They folded because they *wanted* the Taliban running things.

Oh I’m sure of that. I’m sure it will get worse.
The Taliban should have no safe passage. The taliban should be running in fear and not us. Blackhawks, A-10 gun ships and bombers should be doing what we designed them to do and killing these scumbags day and night relentlessly. Instead they match the streets like the own the place because they do. Our president is a pussy and they know it.

There was a time when we could have mustered 1000 B52s in a single bombing formation.
That would have been a carpet bombing mission with a conventional explosive yieid equivalent to the nuclear bomb dropped in Nagasaki.
That is the sort of hellfire we should unleash.
Imagine a president with the balls to say "we will utterly level the city, if the civilians present don't throw your ass out or run for the hills, then they're fair game too.

So the Americans that they can't round up for evacuation are just an afterthought? This is when some old school field commander steps up and says, No way Jose!!!! I wonder if there are any left.

Biden Says Not To Worry That The Taliban Has Some Of Our Military Equipment, Because We Also Got Some Of Theirs, Such As A Stick With A Rock Tied To It
WASHINGTON, D.C.—There has been a lot of bad news coming out of the American withdrawal from Afghanistan, including that the Taliban has now obtained a lot of U.S. military equipment, such as humvees, Black Hawk helicopters, and attack planes. But Biden delivered some good news in a recent press...

Joe Biden Afghanistan Coordination Call With G7 Leaders Lasted a Total of Seven Minutes
It’s all a pantomime folks. According to BBC News reporting on the Joe Biden teleconference call with G7 leaders, the sum total of the call lasted seven minutes.
Think about that. With so much at stake and so much to be discussed and coordinated within the emergency situation in Afghanistan, the discussion between Joe Biden and the allied leaders of the U.K, Germany, France, Italy, Canada and Japan, lasted only seven minutes:

Well, we will see the Barack Hussein Obama methodology with the use of drones... Ineffectual and basically for headlines giving the impression that something is being done when in reality nothing is accomplished.
Otherwise, just pick the top guy and drop a bunker buster on his fucking head!

I was recently reading about the British adventures in Afghanistan, and this bit triggered some serious Deja Vu....
I think Elphy's reign as the guy blowing the greatest military advantage in history is now at an end....
Afghanistan really is the graveyard of empires.

- Elphinstone's Defeat in the First Anglo-Afghan War was, and arguably is to this day, the worst disaster in British military history. After abandoning a fortified position in Kabul, General William George Keith Elphinstone decided to march his 4,500 men to the garrison of Jalalabad. 90 miles away. In winter. With some 12,000 civilians in tow. The outcome should surprise nobody. Flashman says it best:
| "For pure, vacillating stupidity, for superb incompetence to command, for ignorance combined with bad judgement - inshort, for the true talent for catastrophe - Elphy Bey stood alone. Others abide our question, but Elphy outshines them all as the greatest military idiot of our own or any other day. Only he could have permitted the First Afghan War and let it develop to such a ruinous defeat. It was not easy: he started with a good army, a secure position,some excellent officers, a disorganised enemy, and repeated opportunities to save the situation. But Elphy, with the touch of true genius, swept aside these obstacles with unerring precision, and out of order wrought complete chaos. We shall not, with luck, look upon his like again." |
