Nobody believes their numbers. We also have evidence of them leaving Afghans who worked for us out to die. A dead American body in a ditch will look like the Afghan dead bodies in the ditch. We can depend on these asshats to cover it up and give themselves medals for a "job well done". | |||

At one time intelligence operatives understood that protecting one’s sources and staff was a matter of primary importance and their identities shouldn’t be compromised to the enemy. Then again, when the “leadership” decides to strike the colors and run up a white flag with no notice and a draining the swamp project suddenly turns into an alligators up to the ass level situation, sometimes even the obvious gets overlooked. It just gets better and better. I can hardly wait for the next revelations.  ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans ….

Not really. Let's just say that the Taliban Press Secretary, Yusso Totali Fuqqed was really on point at their press conference today. | |||

I guess we have a few more days to find out if this CF is worse than the US Tehran Hostage rescue fiasco. Silly me using the word 'if' in the prior sentence. EU leaders were worried that Trump was shitting on NATO - at least per NGO propaganda reporting. EU leaders have discovered to their horror that Biden has left a giant dinosaur turd all over them. Makes Trump look quite good right now. Guess this is the real wake up call for NATO - as long as they remember to not point their enhanced armed forces at each other again. Humanity is pretty stupid - so the EU's remembering the follies of 1914 and 1939 have me concerned. The mid-terms will be the key. If pro-Trump republicans win BIG, Biden gets 25th amendment. Harris becomes President and Trump becomes VP, since it's the Senate I believe gets to choose to fill the vacancy of VP. Harris will have to resign due to incompetence and Trump fills out the term and gets re-elected in a landslide. OK, I'm just a tad nutty on this one, but when I look back over events of the last 180 days - anything can happen. Current events have exceeded my crystal ball already. Prayers to the troops and civilians in Talli Land. What a CF. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

Aus DFAT Smartraveller update last night: “Do not travel to Kabul airport. If you’re in the area of the airport, move to a safe location and await further advice,” the advice read. “There’s an ongoing and very high threat of terrorist attack.” Aus SkyNews update not more than 3mins ago ... A potential attack by ISIS-K remains the biggest threat. </chris> We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid." ~ Benjamin Franklin.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...k-threat-Isis-K.html Make a run for the border... if you think you can make it': UK tells stranded Afghans NOT to come to the airport as troops begin to pack up and leave thousands behind after Joe Biden's betrayal Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said there were few places left on UK planes, raising fears people will be left Some of those trying to flee the Taliban may be better off heading for the border rather than hoping for a flight out, the Defence Secretary admitted last night. As evacuation efforts entered their final hours, Ben Wallace appeared to signal in a briefing to MPs that there are few places left on British planes. There is also an increased terror risk from jihadists ISIS-K, with US officials last night saying there was a 'very real risk' of an attack by the terror group. Questioned yesterday about what Afghans who have been offered student places or fellowships in the UK should do, Mr Wallace said: ‘If they think they can make it to a third country, that may be a better option.’ Pressed by a Tory backbencher, Mr Wallace added: ‘I recommend that they try and make it to the border … because it is higher profile going to the airport – that is where the Taliban will be focusing their efforts at the moment.’ There was no suggestion however, that Afghans who have been told by western officials to travel to the airport for evacuation should alter that plan. Meanwhile, troubling video today showed thousands of Afghans attempting to flee the country via the Pakistan border. It comes amid reports that desperate Britons and Afghans cleared for evacuation are reportedly paying private security firms more than £5,000 to help them escape the clutches of the Taliban. The firms are reportedly charging $7,500 dollars (approximately £5,500) to give those willing to pay a safe passage past Taliban fighters and to Kabul airport. But most of the money is actually being used to pay off the Taliban anyway, say UK defence sources. A US order that Britain must pull out its 1,000 soldiers and officials before the US begins its withdrawal has reduced the time available to process the final claims. US commanders have also insisted on ‘two to three days’ to conduct a unilateral extraction of their 6,000-strong force, meaning the last UK troops are expected to fly out on Sunday. The order came as the Taliban further tightened its grip on the airport, using checkpoints to block anyone not holding the necessary paperwork and demanding bribes from those who did. much more at link | |||

I believe Biden has made a deal with the Taliban to release some or all of the money frozen in US Financial institutions for a no interference August 31st date certain. | |||

This is the 20th Anniversary of 911. I don't know that the Islamists would trade mammon over a great embarrassment to the Great Satan. I hope I am wrong. It appears the Taliban is holding a Royal Flush. _________________________ "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 world is witnessing what happens when a not very bright 49 year retail politician, with dementia, is running world affairs. There really are not enough words to describe the ineptitude and sociopathic behavior of Joe Biden. As to all those that have propped up and enabled him, this is all on you – congratulations on the international disaster you have created. Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless. | |||

I fear Sunday. As the US troops depart, it would be almost too easy for Taliban/ISIS/Al Queda to allow part of the force out and then take out the runway before the remainder of the group could depart, leaving them totally exposed. I hope this cast of F-ing morons in Washington have considered all such options for this weekend and put lots of resources on high alert and ready to go at a moments notice. I will admit to one surprise. I knew Biden was a complete screw up, but even I couldn't have imagined him screwing up this huge on virtually every front in only seven months. I sincerely hope that record will never be broken by another president. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

Obviously it has its limitations, but keep in mind that there is still U.S. air power on station. Given that it's the Biden administration, I'm hoping that they are authorized to carry live ordnance...but they are there. | |||
