Ward said, “I’m sitting here, for 12 hours in the airport, eight hours on the airfield, and I haven’t seen a single U.S. plane take off. How on earth are you going to evacuate 50,000 people in the next two weeks. It just, it can’t happen.”

Former SEAL officer] Ryan Zinke: Kabul In Danger of Becoming an American ‘Killing Field’

Zinke: “Kabul is now in danger of becoming an American killing field. President Biden’s ineptness has enabled the Taliban the capacity to shut down the small Kabul airport and hold hostage or slaughter every troop and citizen,” he said in a statement.

“We are surrounded, outnumbered, and outgunned by the weapons we left behind. The Taliban is already going door to door in the city and killing anyone they find. The Biden administration’s ‘shelter in place’ is tantamount to ‘wait to be killed’. Perhaps Iran can lend them a nuke that Obama gave them or perhaps another terrorist payoff of 1.4 billion cash. Commander in weakness. Pathetic.”

Xiden, the CCP chosen, has already told EVERYONE of his intentions.

Biden on American Evacuees: “F** Them.
If they die, we’ll blame Trump.”

SO WHY DON’T U.S. FORCES LEAVE KABUL AIRPORT TO RESCUE AMERICANS?

The only logical reason for our dilemma is that we made a deal with the Taliban: they’ll let the airport operate, and let Americans in to fly home, but U.S. forces don’t leave the airport perimeter.

Clearly, our forces are being held to this deal by our side, while the Taliban laughs at our naivete and only permits a trickle of Americans through. And our Afghan allies don’t dare go near the airport, where they will be grabbed and murdered by the Taliban.

This was a fool’s deal. We are in a trap, and the Taliban can close the trap at any moment they choose, simply by dropping mortar shells on the runway. We are in check, with no moves. If we retake Bagram, for example, the Taliban shell the airport and all of the Americans in Kabul, citizens and military, are hostages.

Leaving Bagram Air Base before all our citizens were taken out was the worst military decision I can think of. With Bagram, we’d have Apaches flying over Kabul on patrol, helos would be taking our people from the Embassy and the airport to Bagram, and they’d be getting out of the country on a non-stop military airlift under our control.

Instead, we put all our eggs in the Kabul airport basket, under 100% Taliban control.

The merciful Taliban closed access to the airport immediately. The BS coming from Biden is just that. Those that didn’t get to the airport ASAP RIP… You can figure out the rest of the story.

[marktwain]

To humiliate the US even more, the death of thousands of Americans would work.

All Biden has to do is nothing, and tell his commanders to do nothing.

"We don't want any confrontation with the Taliban, so do not provoke them".

Time runs out in 10 days, lots of Americans left in Afghanistan at the hands of the Taliban, who can say "We abided by our part of the agreement to allow Americans to leave until 31 August."

"We are no longer bound by that agreement."

Biden on his mission of destroy America now.

[Travis McGee]

Exactly. Please see 2, 3 and 5.

That's right, everything we are seeing from Kabul is theater.

The taxiing C-17 is a decoy - There is NO engine in the nacelle!

[allendale]

Soon it will be painfully obvious to the American people that the 6,000 brave young Marines and soldiers that Biden deployed at the last moment have no safe reliable portal to withdraw. The Taliban can close the airport anytime they wish. Also it is quite possible that the Taliban who have lost many friends and relatives in the war want one last crack at the Americans and would seek “martyrdom” against the “infidel”.

The US military is perhaps in a situation not unlike what General MacArthur’s forces faced on Bataan in April 1942.

The demented retard’s handlers remove Marines and 82nd Airborne troops that could be used against them if some officers committed to removing joey, mattressback, and peeelosi by force.

I'm not a fan of CNN, but on this particular occasion, this particular reporter is doing a good job at being a real reporter.

It sure looks like that.

It is hard to survive if your commanders betray you.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Tired of reading comments by folks who don’t understand the military situation at the airport is as poor as you accurately describe it. Biden has left our troops with nothing but a horrible, almost indefensible piece of ground.

[I want the USA back]

They will not be all evacuated. I only hope that biden gets the just retribution that he so richly deserves. (shaming, impeachment, described in the history books as the “second president who massively betrayed his country.”)

[Mean Daddy]

I have an app called Plane Finder and I’ve been monitoring flights out of Kabul. Yesterday, there were three scheduled and all three were cancelled. Today there is only one and it was cancelled.

[PLMerite]

One of the things I heard Biden say in his address yesterday was that we were using “chartered” aircraft to evacuate people. Did this CNN guy not see *any* aircraft leaving, or just no USAF-marked planes ?
