Biden is senile, demented.


Biden is in charge of nothing.

Right now he’s sitting on a bench on Rehoboth Avenue licking his ice cream cone and watching a long parade of faggots walk by and remembering when he was 17 when he was applying for a lifeguard position at an inner city Wilmington pool when his Dad told him after seeing two fags kiss....”See, Joey, that’s what love is all about”.

At this point take the L...get the hell out. The “trained” Afghans can’t stand on their out just like the ARVN. It’s only going to get soldiers killed, our soldiers. Not going to be a peaceful transition and the Taliban have always been scorpions.

They are allah’s revenge. Taking out an American is a gold star.

Kabul isn't going to be Saigon redux.

I fear it will be Operation Eagle Claw on steroids.

Operation Eagle Claw

Biden’s an idiot

I think you are being charitable...he is not in control of what is going on...surrounded by even bigger idiots.

Stupid idiot sec defense focused on "white supremacists" in the military, and the rest of the upper echelon military brass totally clueless.

This fiasco has Susan Rice's grubby little fingers all over it.

"... and those at special risk from the Taliban advance"

WHAT? Where are we going to put half the population of Afghanistan - ie all the women and girls?

As I undertand it, he withdrew 3,000 forces and now is sending in 5,000.
This sounds like someone in the administration is in panic mode. Obviously it is not Biden as he is in Camp David enjoying several lid days. Perhaps he will be photo-shopped into the situation room the way Obama was.

5000 troops militarily speaking is minuscule to what is needed to counter a oncoming force that has surrounded the objective. It will be a meat grinder if the USAF loses control of keeping the Taliban at bay. There seems that there is only one way out and that is by air. Secondly,the humanitarian crisis must be horrific. I have no trust in the Bidung woke pentagon to pull this off.

Here comes the Biden administration chasing the ball they walked away from while the game was still ongoing.

Well said.

After 911 and much reading on the subject, I came to exactly the same conclusion.

Islam must be eradicated.

ALL evidence of its existence crushed to dust. Every mote of every Queer-Anne (hey, you translate it the way that works for YOU, okay?) should be burned, the co2 produced compressed, sequestered in the deepest salt mines on the planet.

If this calls for the killing of 1.8 Billion muslims, and it saves just ONE non-muslim life, it’s worth it. Fair’s fair, they’ve killed nearly a Billion people in 1400 years in conquering 57 countries.

Be sure and leave plenty space in the C 5’s for coffins.

30 plus hogs needed for air cover, 10 at a time flying all day and all night picking off anything that moves. If it moves, it dies!
