U.S. officials provided Taliban with names of Americans, Afghan allies to evacuate

The news comes just hours after two Islamic State terrorist attacks rocked the area just outside the airport, killing at least four U.S. Marines and wounding dozens more. A number of Afghans were also killed in the bombings.
I mean, my God.
I'm serious about this: What could possibly be the rationale here? Why was this seen as a good idea?

How many levels had to clear this? It’s not just the Presidency. This is ludicrous…

That's what I'm saying. A fuckup this huge involves an assload of people. There was some mad rationale that a ton of people signed off on. I want to know what that is.

Biden in his remarks 'blamed' the fact that no American had been killed since February 2020 on the fact that Trump made a deal with the Taliban not to attack Americans. As if that was somehow a fault that he was stuck with when he took office.
Hell, he overturned every Trump action he could find the first day. Now he fucked that up.

Well it was in the context of a zinger question by the Fox reporter and honestly Biden owned him. The Fox reporter converted a mediocre performance into a plausible own. That was my take.

Mr. Biden rehearsed that act for hours.
Then when the time came he obviously forgot the reporter's name.
Mr. Biden is demented.
And he didn't own anyone.

I think basically because the Taliban are now the only bouncers outside the club, and we have to rely on them to get people into the club (airport). We are now forced to rely on them….or we’ll send our military back in (which I’m expecting to happen, btw)
