If Biden had kept Bagram until after the exit, American lives would not be at risk....................

Would have been orderly US controlled exit - exactly as T planned ... and much less war materials for Talis  ... possibly Afghan forces may have had a good chance  to keep control



Giving up Bagram was the stupidest move in military history



Yet, in general Biden is getting away with it all .. the press will see to that

That is a good point. Do we give food, blankets and medicine to the Taliban and trust that they will disperse it among the masses. Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau trust the Taliban, but no thinking person does.

Pragmatists are results oriented. Pragmatists would reverse course immediately . Biden heads an ideological regime. Ideologues double down on stupid.

Bumbling Biden is exactly what the ideologues wanted. He presents an image of moderation. Meanwhile the lunatic fringe is pulling the strings on the dotard to quote North Korea's media.

Right. Sleepy Jo is the opening for the ideologues to take control of all agenda

The aid goes to the Taliban or the people... Both options are bad.



The regime would be far less popular if they cant even keep the people fed.

Letting people starve or freeze or die of thirst can't be a serious option.

Incompetence personified.



As Taliban holds Americans 'hostage,' Biden admin says there's little it can do: 'We do not control the airspace'

At least 58 people have been shot in Chicago during Labor Day weekend, including eight children, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Five people have been killed in shootings since Friday evening, including a 4-year-old boy who was shot in the head.



What's the background?

News surfaced on Sunday that as many as six planes holding American citizens have been stranded at the Mazar-i-Sharif international airport for days as Taliban leaders seek to extract concessions from the U.S. government before allowing them to leave.



In a document sent to members of Congress over the weekend, the State Department said the flights have been cleared to depart for Doha, Qatar, and will do so "if and when the Taliban agrees to takeoff."



What else?

The administration's apparent inaction contradicts the message it relayed to the American people following the conclusion of its incomplete evacuation in late August.



At the time, Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie acknowledged, "We did not get out everybody we wanted to get out," but insisted that "our Department of State is going to work very hard to allow any American citizens that are left" to obtain passage out of the country.

Clearly they put themselves in a position where they will never get many out



Heck, they can't even get to many of them if they are alive let alone get them out



Their initial moves alone destroyed any ability to get many of the right ones out ... As bad or worse, most of those they got out should never have been taken out .. what they call vetting is impossible to do now and utter BS ... the final price for this debacle has not come close to having  been run through the till
