Glenn Greenwald is saying that the CIA and FBI run CNN, and probably MSNBC. That might not be totally untrue. They are running Black Ops in other countries and are certainly well versed in using the media.

If they could get to the airport what good does it do if the entrance is blocked by a bunch of goofy afgans and taliban?

Of course this is stupid. It was doomed to fail from the start. The deal made with taliban was also a dumb deal.

This administration is a ship of fools. E.g. first round of regeneron was $1,500 a dose, second round with more than double the doses went up to $2,100 a dose. Some negotiating skills there huh?

And remember, every Afghan who makes it to the Kabul airport now has made it through Taliban checkpoints. And we’re letting them come to this country?

This method of entry into the USA is easier for the taliban and their allies than having to smuggle them across the southern border.

Let the feds just fly them in, and when they disappear in the USA and plant bombs to kill Americans, we can all act shocked.

What if there isn’t a single command structure for the Taliban? What if there are multiple entities? How do you negotiate an agreement with that?

Yet, the U.K., French and German special forces have been doing exactly what Mudd says he wouldn’t, and we shouldn’t do - special forces military escorts to the airport.

My guess is that the deep state wanted Harris (dumber than dumb Biden) all along, and so now they want a hostage crisis that will terminate Biden’s run. Harris’ diversion side trip to Asia was not to get her out of the way, but to help insure she has no fingerprints on the Afghan mess or what Biden will or won’t do about.

Have you read the article dated today in American Thinker by a 30 year military evac specialist? He and I are a Vulcan mind meld.

Yeah, that's funny -- CNN acting as if it's outraged that a Derper on their payroll is agreeing that Brainless Joe's approach is correct, before all of CNN embraces that very same view. Partisan Media Shills alert.

There need to be war crimes trials.

And some court-martials...
