Not a word from the maggot-in-chief. Just saw a reporterette say that there will be a statement "in the coming days" from him, but not today. A Marine general did all the heavy lifting with the press today, read off an announcement, took questions.

Just wait, there’s 3 1/2 years more of this before we even get a chance to vote against, if it even means anything by then.

The only “truth” that will get out is the “truth” the media will allow. It’s fortunate that there are now alternatives, but the MSM will try to conceal any hostage or left behind scenarios.

No, see above. We DO know how many american citizens are stranded. “Very few hundred.”

I remember an army who would leave NOT ONE SOUL BEHIND if at all possible.

Today, we leave “very few hundred”.

(spit)

They’re talking about it on The Five. “Last U.S. warplanes leave Afghanistan” is the runner on the bottom of the Fox News screen.

They are congratulating the military for pulling out sooner, like a surprise.

Just wish we hadn’t left billions of dollars in technology over there.

P.S. From an article I read last evening. Look at the billions in our tax payer funds that were left on the ground for the terrorists to use and sale. I can bet that China and Russia have already gotten their hands on some of our drones and planes to use.

The debacle in Afghanistan has convinced many world leaders that America can no longer be relied upon to lead the free world (America’s military is still strong, but America’s civilian leaders are corrupt, inept, and unreliable. U.S. Sec. of State Blinken admitted receiving a cable from about two dozen diplomats warning that the Taliban could seize Afghanistan in a hurry if Biden removed the troops. An Audit uncovered by the group called “Open the Books” listed 600,000 weapons; 75,000 Humvees, armored personnel carriers, tactical vehicles, mine-resistant vehicles, etc.; $200 million dollars worth of drones; 208 planes/helicopters in Afghanistan).

That is not counting all the other equipment from mess kits, stoves, tents, infantry type equipment, food stuffs, engineer equipment, etc. Billions and billions of wasted dollars in equipment. And let's NOT FORGET the blood soaking into the ground of our brave men and women.

FIND ANDREW WILKOW's PROGRAM FOR SERIS RADIO. There was a mother that called yesterday and her son was one of the young Marines who was killed. She was screaming and cussing BrainDead Biden good. The poor mother was totally distraught about what had happened to her son, who was just about to be a father. Hurt to hear her speak. Very sad.

No...the war isn’t over. It is never over with Islam. The front merely changes.

Once again, the US has snatched a great defeat from the jaws of victory. Since WW2, the score is what? 0-2-1? Unless you count Iraq 1 and maybe it should since that is the last war that was lead by real Generals. However, thanks to Bush, the Lesser’s “Weapons of Mass Destruction”, I think of Iraq 1 as simply a prelude to the Great War on Terror. So if Iraq 1 is counted as a win, I guess the score is now 1-3-1
But if Lord Biden wants a parade, why not? He deserves it.

It’s not over any more than WWII was over when the last Brit soldier left the beach at Dunkirk.

That’s OK.

They’re importing enough jihadis to bring the war to our front doors.

Literally.

I call absolute bullshit.

It was we don’t @ 10,000 to 15,000 then we get out 5,000 and there’s a few hundred left?

It may be over in Afghanistan, but the war is only starting here at home.
