https://www.nytimes.com/2021/0...airport-flights.html The Pentagon said Monday that at this time there were no flights coming or going, military or civilian, into Hamid Karzai International Airport. John F. Kirby, the chief Pentagon spokesman, said that a security breach on the civilian side of the airport led the American Marines there — 2,500 as of Monday morning — to shut down flights until troops have secured the airport. He said that by Tuesday morning the military expects around 3,000 Marines would be on the ground at the airport to aid the evacuation effort. Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III is sending an additional 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne to Kabul, instead of to Kuwait, to help secure the area. Altogether by later this week there will be 6,000 American troops conducting security at the airport and helping the evacuation. Mr. Kirby also said that there was a preliminary report that one American soldier had been injured. “All the images coming out are of concern and troubling,” Mr. Kirby said, in reference to a video of an American transport plane taking off from Kabul’s airport with desperate Afghans hanging onto the wings. Those people were later seen falling from the airborne plane. He said that all Americans and Afghan allies should continue to “shelter in place until security can be re-established at the airport.” He said that the Turkish troops at the airport were helping the Marines to secure it. xxxxxxxxxxx remember kirby when he was spokesman for obama state dept?

President Biden Orders 7,000 US Troops To Protect Kabul Airport After Horrific Scenes https://www.zerohedge.com/geop...ing-departing-planes update(1200ET): With President Biden scrambling back to the White House to contain the unmitigated disaster that is the American pullout from Afghanistan, the Administration has decided to pull a complete 180, and send thousands of troops back to Afghanistan. Fox News' Pentagon correspondent Lucas Tomlinson reported that Biden (commander-in-chief of the American military) has ordered another 1,000 paratroopers fro the 82nd Airborne to Kabul. That will bring the total number of ground troops to 7,000. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

The order has his name on it and that's his only involvement. I think it's nap time for Joe. Biden couldn't order a Happy Meal at Mickey D's without fucking it up. I get it. We just need the right kind of psychopaths to work with. | |||

My prayers for those who BTDT, those who are there now, all those who are 1 degree separated for whatever reason, and for all who have a connection and are affected by this shit show. That's the best I can do. I simply start out as Bruce Banner, when I try to reply, but then I just get angry. It ain't easy being green. Yeah, this shit opens the shirt.

Milquetoast Blinken and the equally pathetic National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan are the top names of this fuck-up. Both of these clowns have the ear of Biden, all they need from him to nod or, shake his approval. These shit-heads are the principal idiots for this evolving shit-show. Anybody heard from SECDEF Austin? | |||

Kamala Harris: “This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage,” she said, regarding the decision. “He is someone, who I have seen over and over again, make decisions based on what he truly believes ... is the right thing to do.” Harris said that Biden “is acutely aware that it may not be politically popular, or advantageous for him personally; it’s really something to see.” “I have seen him over and over again make decisions based exactly on what he believes is right,” she noted. xxxxxxxxxx problem is - biden is never right | |||

Respects women and "doesn't harbor terrorists."? "Disrespecting" women and harboring terrorists is who they are and who they always have been. The so called gov't "experts" running this administration are some of the dumbest people on the planet. I hope they send in some experts to explain to the Taliban all about the patriarchy, Pride Month and CRT. That should turn things around. ---------------------------------- "These things you say we will have, we already have." "That's true. I ain't promising you nothing extra." | |||

Biden blames Trump for putting him in this situation, and then goes on and on that it is the right thing to do. | |||

Biden read his remarks to the nation from the White House. Turned around and walked out of the room refusing to take any questions _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." Mark Twain | |||
