“You can’t rewind this film,” Crocker said, suggesting that Americans will see a botched effort and question Biden’s abilities.
“Of course the Republicans will have a field day with it,” Crocker said. “But for a whole lot of other Americans, you have to look at what’s happening and think, ‘This is the commander in chief, this is the guy who’s responsible for the security of the nation, and what an incredible mess he’s made of it in his first time out of the blocks.’ ”
Republicans are already pouncing as Afghanistan’s collapse has accelerated in recent days. Over the past week, the Taliban has moved on the major cities of Kandahar and Herat; the Taliban has swept up more territory; and Americans have been urged to leave Afghanistan.
Someone tell them the collapse is completed and it's over, and now Americans and others are trapped within a hostile territory and it's a completely different new game.
Guess we'll see if the policy of rescuing Americans by way of Special Forces still holds true. If Biden cucks out and starts paying them like the Europeans do then we're going to see a lot of American kidnapping
The T still hold the American hostages they have kidnapped earlier. And it wasn't even an American demand to have them released, despite America having Afghanistan release 5000 T prisoners as a goodwill gesture during the "peace process".
I thought you meant the other T, but then I realized that it is holding the entire country hostage.

Trump and Biden really are a match made in heaven.
I'm torn. I want America to pull out of Afghanistan. I don't know what the best case scenario for pulling out of Afghanistan looks like, but I sure know what a worst case looks like.
Some of you have some really shit takes on this, I have to say...
I mean, look, I don't like what Globohomo has done, in the West, either. I'm not a fan of American imperialism. But if you think the Taliban are somehow "good", or "morally righteous", or that marrying off 12-year olds, or throwing people off buildings, is somehow acceptable, or, hell, if you think that Biden did this in the right way, and didn't completely cock it up... Then really, I'm not sure you're that much better than the people you insult.
Here's a surprisingly "not online" take: Afghans are people, too. As are the Westerners still trapped there (though I care less about them). Have some goddamn empathy for a moment. This is a disaster. It's not entirely Biden's fault, but so much of it is. Anyone could have foreseen this, even a dumbass 78-year old career politician who was in power when Saigon happened, and who calls serving solders "dull bastards"...
So... I get that we like to make fun of things, in this forum. I get that, but just... For just this once, TRY and have a little empathy for the hundreds of thousands of people who may die from this, let alone the trillions of dollars your country and mine wasted on this stupid war, for fucking nothing, instead of just spouting whatever crap comes into your mind to "own the libs", or come up with some witty rhetorical crap about "heheheh based Taliban"...
The DHS already said I am a "Terrorism Threat to the U.S. Homeland" for my shitty COVID takes on the internet, while Antifa stabs a guy on the streets of Los Angeles while every single cop in California magically vanishes.
Sorry, I care more about my own ass, my entire family, and my dog, getting the federal Waco barbeque treatment or the Washington DC solitary confinement camp or the Ashli Babbit killshot, than someone else getting murdered by the Taliban, somewhere far far away.
Ask the American government to give a shit, the American government sends the soldiers overseas, not the "Terrorism Threat to the U.S. Homeland" people on a shitty internet forum.
In short, it still sucks for those in Afghanistan, but I still don't care.
D.C. jail treatment of Capitol riot defendants draws bipartisan outrage
"It was a well-thought-out strategic plan" to transfer inmates to D.C., where they can be "mic'd in a cage," lawyer says.

The issue could complicate D.C.'s bid for statehood. "D.C.'s house is not in order, and the solution is not to grant it even more authority through statehood," Comer said April 19 in response to a Washington Post report that characterized the jail's COVID-19 order as "mass solitary confinement."
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) also cited the Post report in an April 22 floor speech against D.C. statehood. Alleging the city has been "essentially torturing inmates" for more than a year, Higgins said: "That is ultimately a violation of the 8th Amendment ... Is this what we can expect from a D.C. state?"

Instead of the LGB dropping the T, this T drops the LGB!

Republicans do the job of an opposition party and correctly point out the failures of the governing administration.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sorry, I know you were making a valid point, but this part was just too funny.
True it is a bit of a monkey typing the Bible moment, but at least it happened once.
Taliban is already forming a caliphate, sound familiar?
I'm torn. I want America to pull out of Afghanistan. I don't know what the best case scenario for pulling out of Afghanistan looks like, but I sure know what a worst case looks like.
Americans currently trapped in Kabul and elsewhere will have a big trouble getting out alive.
Afghan's an odd country to find many Arabs, at least for now
Afghans aren't Arabs, genius.
And yet you understood what he said.
Oh no, a country slithered out from underneath the heel of the globohomo warmonger cabal, whatever shall we do?
