Thank’s Biden for relying on Taliban for safe passage.

Soldiers and Marines killed. The death toll is likely to rise. Not good optics for the Biden administration. Time to let the troops eat. My strategy would be to push the perimeter out a “klick” or two and I would send teams out to get trapped Americans the fuck out of there. All enemy combatants should be engaged on sight. We own the air and we own the night as one of the Fox News analysts stated. He’s right.
The suicide attacks took place outside the airport. We have the manpower to push the perimeter out right now. The Washington suits just have to give the green light, which is doubtful. Hell, we haven’t even heard from Biden today. I do agree that Bagram should be retaken. The only problem with that us that we stripped Bagram of all its electrical and technology equipment needed to run the air field. Taking it back would be easy, but not without casualties. The 82nd and 75th Rangers could jump in and secure it within hours. Getting the airfield operational is another story.

approval (for attacks directed against Americans).
We owe it to the people there to get them out. I unfortunately think this means re-taking Bagram and establishing a perimeter there. This of course will mean serious re-engagement and casualties
President needs to lead and be honest about what this requires and what we will face in doing so....or he needs to honest and transparent about the downside of whatever alternative path he's choosing.
Taliban should be told that 8/31 date is over...we'll leave on a future date of our choosing known to us and they will be engaged on sight and terminated with extreme prejudice if they impede in any way.
Not getting Americans and assisting Afghanis out will result in months of kidnappings, tortures and beheadings...
We're justified to fight. But being dragged back into war is the last thing we all want. What's the best solution? we need a serious discussion here.
way this has been handled.
I don't want war there. I wanted us out

Last service member in Afghanistan killed was February 2020.
What a cluster **** enabled by Biden’s withdrawal strategy.
Trump should never have even started talks with the Taliban, but Biden took stupid to a whole new level.

I don't think Trump would have put American citizens on a kill list like Biden has done.

"Do I trust the Taliban? No. But I trust the capacity of the Afghan military, who is better trained, better equipped, and more re- — more competent in terms of conducting war."
to deal with this shit show called Afghanistan. Prior admin cut a deal and ran away from it like the pussies they are. But all over the cable news shows wanting credit for TRUSTING the Taliban. Someone had to do it, someone had to take it on the chin.
Whether it was May or December 2020, the same shit would've happened. I'd rather a shit show with competent people trying to help not harm Afghanistan refugees be at the helm.
May the soldiers that lost their life assisting in that effort always be held in esteem high regard!

This is why they cannot remove him. If Kamala becomes President there will be no VP to break the tie in the Senate.
