Biden’s Hair Should Be ‘On Fire’ Over Afghan Translators Being Left Behind, Senator Says
Sen. Angus King proposed solutions, such as sending Afghans to NATO allies temporarily, but said there’s not enough time for Congress to act.

20 years ago 9/11 happened and 20 years later we gave the terrorists their country back.
What did we expect was going to happen?
We have intel on their leaders. We need to start targeting their loved ones so they can get a taste of their own medicine.
We know where the leaders who are on the most wanted list are - what's holding us back from taking them out?
America used to be a helluva country.
Even career Democrats can see where this train wreck is ultimately headed:

Obama CIA chief says Biden's Afghanistan exit 'absolutely inspired' jihadists, emboldened Al Qaeda
Former Obama CIA Director Michael Morell said Sunday that President Biden's chaotic retreat from Afghanistan and subsequent Taliban takeover "absolutely inspired" jihadists and emboldened terrorists across the globe.

No wonder Goat didn't want any political posts about 9/11. Reminds everyone how we gave these terrorists their country back without firing a shot.
Even an MSNBC shill can see where this is leading...

The FBI has been focusing on domestic terror. It needs to start looking overseas again.

I mentioned this several pages ago and was quickly told that they don't have the knowledge or ability to glean any information from having the actual technology RIGH IN THEIR HAND. Besides we all know that would be dishonest to do that and through diplomacy efforts, this is all a nothing burger.And here's another great reason we shouldn't have just left all that equipment with the Tailban... :

The DNC faithful hope they can continue to baffle the general electorate with BS and they'll continue to buy it...
This one is too big to simply fade away..., and it will come back to bite us... You can't create and equip a Terrorist Super State without having to eventually reap the whirlwind... It doesn't take a Nostradamus level seer to predict that...
You actually find this humorous? You've truly become the poster caricature of a left wing moron...
one terrible decision after another.
Notice they finally release this info on Friday afternoon...typical DC tactic. Gets the least attention and hopefully something else happens over the weekend to pull it out of the news cycle by Monday evening. Meanwhile this was first reported by BBC almost 2 weeks ago.
Rand Paul told Blinken this bungled drone strike probably created another thousand terrorists who now hate the USA...(because they view us as the terrorists...and this event sure adds credence to their claim).
Anyone want to bet a dozen donuts Racheal doesn't touch this topic tonight??

But I thought the Tally were the sworn enemies of ISIS K? Why free the bomber when you take over Bagram?
If true, it's interesting, because the prisoners held there and released by the Taliban were said to be Taliban & al Qaeda. ISIS-k was said to be their enemy. Maybe that guy was released in the confusion.....who knows?
My question as well, as you can see above. Maybe a double agent? Maybe the Taliban was complicit in the bombing? If they know who he is, they know whether he's on the loose or has been caught. I wonder why the Congressman didn't say one way or the other?
Is this the way citizens are to informed of news? Isn't this a matter of public interest that the executive branch should be announcing? Did the Congressman act unethically or illegally in revealing this? If not, why hasn't it come from the chief executive?

If I remember correctly, under President Trump (& that 2019? congress), we were supposed to get totally out by the end of 2021? Biden upped the withdrawal date a few months. Problem is both had US leaving zero troops there, to cover our retreat/withdrawal, by year's end, even though our top military commanders recommended we leave a force of 2, 500 troops to help in the withdrawal/cover our retreat.I have no idea if Trump's exit plan would have better but I am pretty sure it could not have been worse than the mess Biden has us in. But Trump put him in this position, so he bears blame as well.
I am no expert AT ALL in Afghan foreign policy but giving back the country to the Taliban cannot be a good thing.
Good opinion article here.

A disastrous Taliban takeover wasn’t inevitable.www.nytimes.com
If we had left those 2, 500 troops our top military commanders recommended, we might have 13 more lively Americans, saved millions of dollars & not been totally caught with our tail between our legs.
Both sides screwed up
But Biden & (D)s more

It is nice to see the Taliban moderating in the way the admin said they would.
Why doesn't this surprise me... 😣😡:
State Dept trying to steal credit for rescue of 4 Americans from Afghanistan, organizer says: 'Total lie'
The organizer of a private mission to rescue an American mom and her three children from Afghanistan says the U.S. State Department is now trying to insert itself into the story of her evacuation, despite playing little to no role for much of the rescue effort.
Postal Service
The Taliban are sending fighters to the Nanghar region to fight ISIS. When they capture ISIS troops, they string them up in public view to dissuade others. There is much to hate about the Taliban, but if they want to fight a brutal war against ISIS, that is ok by me. A political blog I read compared it to Hitler and Stalin, both murderous dictators that hated each other more than anyone else.
