After America's longest war, Taliban commander Mullah Hasnain contemplates all that is left of what was part of the last CIA base -- demolished buildings, destroyed vehicles and piles of ammunition.

..."We let them go peacefully, and look what they've left behind," Hasnain said, a leader of the Taliban's elite Badri 313 unit...

"Before going, they destroyed everything," he told journalists being shown the site, flanked by Taliban guards cradling American M-16 rifles...

...One building was left intact, a large games room with billiards, table football, darts and soft velvet armchairs. Its sign still dangled outside -- "The Snooker Club"....

Sounds pretty decadent...they’d better blow it up. Better to huddle around a camel-shit fire in a cave like their daddies did.

Doesn’t it just figure that at least the CIA had the common sense to minimize what “treasure” they left behind.

At least the CIA had the brains to destroy it rather than leave it intact.

Something else for the MSM to bury.

Here’s a prediction on the 5 planes full of refugees: Biden will be tough for the cameras. Taliban will blow up the first plane. Biden will immediately cave and give Taliban everything they want. They’ll let two planes go. Last two planes will still be held. New demand from Taliban. You predict the rest.

Yeah, because we know the fastidiousness The Taliban places on its vehicles and property. They are nothing if not neat freaks.

The occasional homicide bomber notwithstanding

There must be a total of over a thousand people trapped on those planes. Imagine their discomfort. No air circulation.
Things are so bad, these folks may even be allowed to smoke on the plane, just to ease their nerves for moment.
Who’s maintaining the Loo?

Yes, but they can take comfort from their knowledge that Joe Biden and the Democrats are firmly in control and are deftly taking care of everything.

The CIA is more of a threat to freedom in the USA than the Taliban is.

In response to your statement, I see that GIF with actress Jennifer Lawrence rolling her eyes with disbelief, while giving a hearty ‘thumbs up’.

I don’t think they are actually on the planes. I think they are waiting in the airport building.

Who knows what treasures they left behind in terms of compromising the few agents we have in Central Asia. Didn’t the State Dept. basically doxx the Afghans who worked for us that the regime left behind?

Wonder where Biden plans his presidential Liebary?

The Taliban may be the only one’s who’ll want to hast by then.

Just so.

My guess is that their CYA club was pretty exclusive.

I see. It’s hard to get a full picture about what’s really happening. That may be it. They are all ‘coralled’ up like so many Steer.

During the DJT years, it was deemed impossible to doxx or vet any Afghani.
