    What’s weird to me is that I saw on the news here, hours before, that there was hard intel about an imminent threat near Kabul airport, which means they knew something was cooking but still were not able to prevent a catastrophe.

        @bachophile Same-same like 9/11.

        I posted something about it earlier this morning.

          Here's the thing, it very well could have been the Taliban, it could have been the New Al Qaeda. Could have been ISIS. Could have been one of our own Afghan interpreters and loyalists that feels betrayed. Hell, it could have been the French or any other member of NATO...

                  he said it was a sad day, 12 killed, then went on to tout the number of people evacuated and the heroism of the troops. Honestly I'm not sure what they expected him to say, but he should have stuck to the facts of the incident, of which there are few right now. Apparently we are relying on the Taliban to screen people getting to the gates of the airport.

                  So the Taliban is the group preventing suicide bombers from getting to our troops. Let that sink in.

                      If you think about it it means we knew damn good and well they were going to overrun the country. Otherwise we would never have had time to make such arrangements with them.

                        I am just gobsmacked at this point remembering all the times the left - and Biden - screamed that Trump was incompetent, unable and unfit to be president.

                          TDS sufferers are still emoting about Jan 6. You have to give them more time to collect themselves before they emote about anything bad relating to Biden.

                              There's nothing to attack unless we are willing to sustain mass casualties of Afghans.

                              But maybe the Romans had it right.

                                      The whole point of the attack was to get America to talk about it, while there are more important concerns - such as racism - that we should be focused on instead.
