Yup, this could turn into Vietnam in a hurry...

Bidet could be the next LBJ.

We are just sending the Taliban more targets.

Leftist protesters better update the old signs:

“Biden is a baby killer....”

I pray for the men and women in the military who are being sent to Afghanistan by someone who is NOT qualified to be commander-in-chief.

Can Dementia Joe ever open his mouth without spewing out lies? Nope.
Didn't this of fool first of all cancel President Trump's withdrawal deal with the Taliban and set up his own withdrawal? Then send B52 bombers to stop the Taliban advance only a coupla weeks ago?
Is this idiot not even aware that once US troops moved out, the Taliban would swiftly move in just like what happened in Vietnam?

“... tasking Secretary of State Tony Blinken with supporting Afghan President Ashraf Ghani...”


Why not ‘task’ Kamala Harris with the job? It’s not like she’s busy and she’s done such a fine job with the border.

I thought it was 3,000 needed. Escalating already?

Imagine what the spouses and children of these Troops are going through.
First this, then that, then this too, maybe, after my vacation. Emotional whiplash.

Which troops ? What weapons and transport ? What RoEs ? Does a list of Afghan evacuees exist ? Is the airport secure ? Are enough aircraft available to evacuate all ? Can we be sure the are no shoulder SAMs in Taliban possession ? These questions and more need to be answered or at least asked before committing forces. Hopefully contingency plans have been prepared in the past and are now being addressed.

War is what the deep state wants. President Eisenhower warned us of the “Military Industrial Complex” in 1962 and we have not paid attention. The deep state needs the heron to enslave the people and fill their pockets.

Pumped up on that C-19 sauce. Who knows what that might do? I hope nothing.

By that time, ‘24 or so, a Republican should be president. The left will then blame everything on him/her..and Trump, of course.

A whole lot too late. By the time the faggots in the pentagon drag their feet, A’stan ceases to exist.

Most Americans struggle just to survive and pay their GD bills and these globalist assholes waste trillions in foreign lands, only to have it backfire in our faces. Over and over they’ve looted the American treasure.
