Three Democratic chairs of Senate committees have pledged to get a full accounting of “what went wrong” as the Taliban seizes control of the country.

 

no problem. but the past administration will also have to be called to testify.

What the hell is wrong with our military leadership?  This was a perfect opportunity to take out the leadership of the Taliban with one drone strike.:dodgy:

while americans & allies are still in kabul? brilliant idea. let's keep working on getting out as many people as possible. there will be plenty of chances to get these guy if that is going to happen.

I don' know who ridge runner is, but I've been on camcaps for a while now.  This is my first time really posting in the political forum section of it though.

O_U812 it's obvious to me you're a lefty who will follow President Pee-Pants all the way off the cliff without even hestitating once.   Whatever, guy.. you do you.

But in case there's any question about how Trump would have handled things differently... Pence is saying the SAME THING that every single Trump cabinet member said about his plans to withdraw from Afghanistan........ that they actually had a plan, unlike Biden who just said... DURR GET US OUT NAOW!
 

NYPOST.COM

Former Vice President Mike Pence claimed Tuesday that President Joe Biden reneged on the cease-fire deal his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, agreed with the Taliban in February 2020.

BTW, there's now a memoire floating around from a deceased Obama official that shows that Biden actually and frankly said: Fuck the Afghans! ...when Obama was talking about pulling out during his run as President.

But don't let facts hurt your hatred.

what a crock of shit. trump's plan (the 1 that he didn't have) would have left everyone including americans there.

Critics are slamming former President Barack Obama and his birthday bash last weekend...

74 scumbags got covid-19 at obama's birthday party & the evil 😈 wicked 😈 democrats won't let people go to church or a funeral.

maybe you should have read the whole thing.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

A health official for the Martha’s Vineyard town of Tisbury, however, said that officials are not aware of the cases being connected to the party. 

"At this time we're not aware of any cases connected to the Obama party," Tisbury health agent and boards of health spokesperson Maura Valley told the Daily Mail. "It's a little too early and the only way we're going to know is through comprehensive contact tracing."

Biden to Americans Stuck in Afghanistan: You Are On Your Own
mail?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.daybreakinsid


From the State Department note to those trying to evacuate: “Thank you for registering your request to be evacuated from Afghanistan….Please make your way to Hamid Karzai International Airport at this time,” the note reads. “ PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE UNITED STATES CANNOT GUARANTEE YOUR SECURITY AS YOU MAKE THIS TRIP” (Yahoo). From Andrew McCarthy: Given this shocking notification, it is worth remembering what President Biden represented to the nation just a day ago. Twice, he assured us that his administration had planned for “every contingency,” expressly “including the rapid collapse we’re seeing now” — i.e., the collapse of the U.S.-backed regime in Kabul and takeover of the country by the Taliban. One glaringly obvious and imperative contingency, of course, was the safe evacuation of American civilians (National Review). From Seth Mandel: Hopefully someone can get word to the stranded Americans in Kabul trying to make their way to the airport through Taliban checkpoints that we’re making progress on the infrastructure bill (Twitter). The Biden administration later said they are relying on the Taliban to be kind and let people enter the airport (Fox News). This, after a number of stories and videos of the Taliban beating people outside the airport (RedState). From journalist Frud Bezhan: Taliban have put up checkpoints at entrance to #Kabul airport, residents tell me. That’s preventing thousands of Afghans who have travel docs from leaving. As @WSJ reports, some evacuation flights leaving nearly empty. Window of opportunity closing for Afghans to escape (Twitter). From Noah Rothman: I never thought I’d read these words. The world’s only nation capable of sustained global power projection won’t help its citizens stranded in a country in which it’s operated for 20 years for fear of running afoul of a militia. We’re choosing decline (Twitter). From Guy Benson: … it’s also darkly laughable for Biden to claim his administration planned for every contingency. Apparently the reality contingency didn’t make the cut, despite senior military officials warning against this course of action, and advocates for America’s loyal Afghan allies outright begging for an orderly plan to deliver them to safety before the Taliban seized control and came knocking (Townhall). Video from outside the Kabul airport, where thousands still hope for rescue as gunfire is all around them (Twitter). From another story: McConnell told “Special Report” that he never would have left Afghanistan, especially not the way the Biden administration has. The Kentucky lawmaker said only 1% of the Pentagon’s budget was being directed toward Afghan operations, which were successfully “keep[ing] the lid on in Afghanistan” (Fox News).
