Saigon Again

[Kathianne]

Sure is looking like it. While reports of beheading have been mentioned for weeks, in the middle of night some noise from alternative media that they're hearing Kandahar had fallen.

Now the DOD announced that 3k Marines would be there shortly to back up. 650 already trying to protect the airport and civilians trying to evacuate. 3 addition marine brigades would be leaving US shortly. Another 3k were in Kuwait and were ready to go.

Seems 'no one' could have predicted the blitzkrieg that Taliban has executed. I remember saying here regarding the talking heads' speculation of 6-9 months until Taliban would possibly take control and I said 6 weeks if lucky. I'm thinking it's pretty damn close.

News reports keep bringing up 3k number, it seems my math abilities have not abandoned me:

This was the thread I was looking for. The author keeps mentioning "that's another 3k people to evacuate" (the US military force). Get off it, dummy. We're trained to hop on a ride and didi mao. Look how fast they left last month

I'm for just flat hammering the Taliban. I know some expected a different answer from me But that's about the Taliban and teh people of Afghanistan to me, not Afghanistan itself. Couldn't set a better ambush than luring them out into the open as they are.

We'd have to have a government that was conducting a war, not playing at it with politics though.

Now Biden is saying 5k, his math doesn't compute, any more than his July pronouncements on Taliban capabilities.

You are right .

Sleepy no longer has handler help that makes sense .

The Devolvement Project nears completion . In a strange way Sleepy is an asset .

We needed a simpleton to ensure easy success . Or a brainless old fool .

Looks to me like Biden is frozen in place, knowing not what to do. Forget that SecDef crap. How about JCS? And ask for a REAL plan

I stand by what I said. I'd crush those assholes. 5000n troops? How many troops did we have before? How many did Biden withdraw? Hard to get anything done moving backward without a compass.

Either in, heading to Afghanistan, or nearby locale, I count 9500-10k depending on outlet.

Biden seems incapable of coherent thought. We’re screwed.

On vacation in Delaware for two weeks. His Diaper, and Depends supplier must have a special on HOME DELIVERY to the Mentally Disabled who pretend to be something they will never be. Ya know? Like all of those Hollyweird actors who only know how to ACT or PRETEND?

Minor point, but boy does His Liarness cause traffic jams (“Joe Jams”) here in Delaware. We wish he’d stay the heck in DC once in a while.

When bin Laden was killed in 2010, the US had 100k troops in Afghanistan.

We were allegedly down to 2500 under Biden.

Now we're sending in 10k troops.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the President of the United States, The Honorable Mr Joe Biden. Here's his plan ...

Edit: @Kathianne I meant to quote your post.

I have this idea forming in the ethereal between my ears that the Dems could be leaving Joe adrift without a lifeboat.

Me too. It’s only a question of when, IMO.
