"The White House reported that the US has so far evacuated about 48,000 people from Afghanistan since August 14."

Perhaps reported, but how real is the number, given the White House has lied repeatedly? And how many were properly screened. Also homw many men, women, and children (<12)?

Surely, this is Frank Burns from Mash. Or, Burnsie, from What’s Up Doc. No?

“ Don’t forget pallets of cash.”

That comes later. After the US folds the tent and leaves the Taliban will round up all the remaining Americans and hold them for ransom. If you think Obama’s payoff to the Iranians of two cargo planes loaded with USD cash worth over one billion dollars for signing his worthless nuclear deal was shameful wait till you see what we pay the Taliban. Will make the Iranian payoff look like chump change.

I wonder if they shared a 10 year old boy together.

Bidet has declared her an unperson.

If she was truly patriotic she would be drafting her suicide note explaining why she chopped her own head off...

:-(

They flipped for it—one got the ten year old boy, the other got the goat.

Hopefully they will discuss climate change, transgender rights, systemic white privilege, wealth redistribution, and mask mandates.

The question to be asked is why was the CIA Director sent in the first place? What could he say that would make any difference? Why would he accept a shameful task, a grovel, that seems unique in the history of the CIA? If Biden were to threaten some sort of military reprisal for whatever reason the logical person to send is Austin. Is it possible that Biden’s handlers understand that there are few clowns left to carry the President’s water? Shameful!

“You screw with us - there go all of your poppy fields, there go all the gains you think you have, we’re coming back in, and we will wipe you out.”

The Taliban does not control the poppy fields, that’s what the warlord’s do. And the Warlords are sort of like... kind of on our side Maybe...

At what number will they stop?

Re: 12 - I expect at some point, with the press releases about increasing numbers of people airlifted out of Afghanistan, “victory” will be declared by the Biden Administration.

The wildcard in this are Americans potential/actually held by the Taliban and brought out after such a victory declaration. They could be declared as “spies”, etc.

I can’t see the Taliban allowing the US to declare victory in leaving and giving up any potential media leverage that Americans detained as “spies” could bring.

The CIA Director is the right person, because the Taliban are a wholly owned subsidiary of the Pakistani Intelligence Service.

I would not be surprised if I heard that the Pakistanis secretly were at the meeting. It is their game to play.

What bothers me? I smell a rat . Like there is something pre planned in all of this. I can’t yet put my finger on it.

“4. The Afghan interpeters/military/security allies are already abandoned and most will die. PERIOD.”

According to you, we are apparently only rescuing Taliban militia on those flights.
