I suspect that Biden's supporters in the WH are doing their best Afghan Army impressions and either running for the hills, or switching sides.
Biden is trapped: if he doesn't give a public address, he looks weak and out of touch. If he does, he's going try and blame Trump which no one will believe and may very well harden the population against him. One of the things I keep hammering is that Biden has no core constituency. The closest he has are the upper-middle-class white progressives who comprise the managerial class and the bureaucracy's upper levels. They believed that Biden would "restore America's reputation" by which we mean their popularity with the rest of the globalist class. Instead, this disaster is a public humiliation of them as well. People will endure a lot of things, but public humiliation is one of the least. Posted by: Colorado Alex in Exile at August 16, 2021 12:14 PM (jOcSX) 96

Report from Kabul.
Taliban fighters on Monday reportedly began collecting weapons from civilians in Kabul as the insurgent group cements its swift takeover of Afghanistan "we understand people kept weapons for personal safety. They can now feel safe. We are not here to harm innocent civilians," a Taliban official told Reuters. *** David Chipman is practically semi-soft right now.

I went back into the Army in 2001 after having been out for 9 years because I thought it was important to remind the world that when you come and kill Americans, we're going to respond and we're going to put a hurt on you. I never went to Afghanistan, but made four back-to-back tours to Iraq, including the initial invasion. Thankfully, I came home each time and despite a few boneheaded situations mostly of my own making. The Iraqis were never so corrupt, so perfidious, so disgustingly incompetent as is our own Federal Government. Going to Iraq was about helping to punish and deter our enemies, not flag waving or chanting "USA" on command. The fight for Freedom, for the ability to continue to live under the protections afforded to a just and moral people under the Constitution is here, and it is now. We have never faced an enemy so determined to have their way, their own misguided and dangerous way, as we do know, even if we take into consideration the traitorous actions of Jefferson Davis and the Slavocracy of the old South.

I though to read somewhere that the military intelligence knew what was happening and that what has transpired was totally foreseeable and preventable.
So Unelected President Hiden Biden straight up lied to everyone. And his senior advisors lied with and for him too. We have no leadership and our enemies are going to now take advantage and harm him this country in every way. Posted by: Czech Chick Yes. Apparently there were solid intelligence reports that the Afghan "army", was collapsing all over the country, and were being bribed to leave their posts.

What in God's name did Biden ever do for the last 40 years to give you confidence that he could perform in a crisis? Name one thing that he did that was a true accomplishment not shrouded in lies, deceit, demagoguery and bullshit? Name one thing. They will never be able to and as a matter of fact, he has been wrong about every foreign policy event his entire career. But he will still blame Trump.

FACT CHECK: Did President Biden Say Afghanistan Wouldn't End with Rooftop Helicopter Evacuations, When It Really Did?
We rate this claim as completely false. First, while Biden did make the alleged statement, he was only relaying a message developed by his press and State Department team, so they weren't really his words. Additionally, just as the mentally ill aren't liable for crimes they commit, Biden's reduced mental faculties absolve him of the responsibility of what he says. Second, photos from Afghanistan which make it appear a helicopter landed on the roof are misleading and lacking appropriate context. The helicopter was much too big to land on the roof of the US Embassy, and instead landed in the ground within the embassy compound. Completely false!

Let's face it, the reason Biden hasn't said anything is due to the fact he's had a mental relapse and the junta is trying to set up something carefully stage managed so as to hide Biden's mental decline as much as possible.

Yes. Apparently there were solid intelligence reports that the Afghan "army", was collapsing all over the country, and were being bribed to leave their posts.

Those assholes have been dragging their feet on the evac this whole time, advising that carnage and death would occur if things didn't happen on their timeline and with their blessing. They probably refused to put together a plan in furtherance of this foot dragging. They're probably all pointing fingers at the IC and at Biden himself and saying all this is their fault and they warned everyone. Posted by: bonhomme at August 16, 2021 12:38 PM (UW2ZS) 368

>>we were on board with Trump leaving. Setting aside the way the media would be crucifying HIM right now, what would be different?
FWIW, Afghanistan was different 10 mos. ago: https://tinyurl.com/tprvfcn9 But longer term, Mike Flyn was making a big deal an=bout the situation on Afghanistan being much different/worse than what the general were saying -- the entire Afghanistan Papers project started when General Michael Flynn filed an IG report that the Pentagon was lying about the war . . . and then he got ensnared by Deep State (so he wouldn't serve under Trump). That's another significant way in which Trump was hobbld/unable to act in Afghanistan. Posted by: Lizzy at August 16, 2021 12:39 PM (bDqIh) 375

I think Harris was a concession for Obama, and whatever they had planned as far as replacing the turnip in chief went into the shitter around May. I mean really, does anybody seem to be in charge at the moment? Hopefully they find them all dead in Camp David or Martha's Vineyard. I think Obama's B-Day bash was cover for an emergency meeting of the elites knowing the feces were about to collide with the air circulator.
Posted by: clutch cargo - processed in a facility that may contain lead at August 16, 2021 12:44 PM (wAnMi) Nah, I think Obama was partying because he could. Nothing more than that. It's a giant "fuck you" to the rest of us. Jill is fighting back and Harris is so unlikeable that they don't dare put her into the Oval Office until absolutely necessary. The problem is that even if they invoke the 25th, "Biden" can just submit a letter to Congress that he's feeling better and then Congress has 21 days to vote on the matter. But Congress would need 2/3s majorities to uphold Harris as Acting President. Posted by: Colorado Alex in Exile at August 16, 2021 12:48 PM (jOcSX) 487

Biden, Psaki, and Harris are running away from this because the American people don't care, right?
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, nihilism is all fun and games with a Carpenter leading the way at August 16, 2021 12:05 PM (LvTSG) The American people, in general, don't care. To paraphrase Chamberlain, it's a quarrel in a far-off country between people about whom we know nothing. The families of our military care, those who served time in that shithole care, but no-one else. Biden, Psaki and Harris are running away to get time to find the right way to blame this on Trump, and the GOP will be - led by the usual suspects - all too eager to join in the condemnation. Mid-terms are over a year away. Once this fades from the headlines and some bread-and-circus school shootings or St George of Floyd riots, leavened with Dominion vote-counting and nobody will give a shit anymore.

486 Jill is fighting back and Harris is so unlikeable that they don't dare put her into the Oval Office until absolutely necessary. The problem is that even if they invoke the 25th, "Biden" can just submit a letter to Congress that he's feeling better and then Congress has 21 days to vote on the matter. But Congress would need 2/3s majorities to uphold Harris as Acting President.
=============== Heh, those bought and paid for stooges of the Uniparty and CCP?

FWIW, Afghanistan was different 10 mos. ago: https://tinyurl.com/tprvfcn9 But longer term, Mike Flyn was making a big deal an=bout the situation on Afghanistan being much different/worse than what the general were saying -- the entire Afghanistan Papers project started when General Michael Flynn filed an IG report that the Pentagon was lying about the war . . . and then he got ensnared by Deep State (so he wouldn't serve under Trump). That's another significant way in which Trump was hobbld/unable to act in Afghanistan. Posted by: Lizzy ___________ Yep, Trump's hands were tied in more ways than one. He couldn't get good intelligence about what the situation on the ground in Afghanistan really was, and he couldn't get his traitorous generals to obey his orders. But he was still able to keep it under relative control there for four years, which is a lot more than Biden could accomplish. Posted by: TrivialPursuer at August 16, 2021 12:56 PM (k4dH2) 562

There actually is a non-ridiculous argument over the effects and wisdom of the "peace process" Trump's team undertook that led to an agreement in February 2020.
But if one steps back and keeps the overall picture in mind, I find the claims by some that the demoralization of the Afghan regime/forces which is allegedly a byproduct of that process/deal was the key to this rapid collapse ..... unpersuasive. Even, for analysis, granting the premise that any deal with the Taliban would have huge corrosive effect on the regime's ability to operate and resist - which is itself quite reasonable - what was the alternative? We're not talking about pulling the Colts out of Baltimore in the dead of night here. It is difficult to imagine a disengagement process that could be kept secret, and that wouldn't have the same effect on Afghan regime morale and calculations, *regardless of the details, style, or timing*.

Continuing a convo we were having a month or two ago, some of us were thinking we've got 2 factions fighting for control behind the curtains. Jill I think is in the group that's wrested control from the (IMHO) Obama sect. I think Harris was a concession for Obama, and whatever they had planned as far as replacing the turnip in chief went into the shitter around May. I mean really, does anybody seem to be in charge at the moment? Hopefully they find them all dead in Camp David or Martha's Vineyard. I think Obama's B-Day bash was cover for an emergency meeting of the elites knowing the feces were about to collide with the air circulator.

I stand corrected. There is a chance he takes full responsibility without further comment.
That would be the best possible approach to take, and its the kind of move Bill Clinton would make. "I messed up, but I'll work harder than anyone else has to make this right" It would shut down all criticism, it would give the press plausible reason to say "story's over, move on" and it would look mature and humble. Which is why they will never do that. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at August 16, 2021 01:02 PM (KZzsI) 624

Then, when you consider we have opened our borders to a million people through June.... The poor are getting hammered hard in the Biden economy.
____________ The million who came in the first six months are only the number who were stopped and officially counted by ICE. The real numbers are much, much higher, because ICE only encounters about 10% of illegal border crossers. So as bad as it is to think that a million illegal aliens, most of them poor and unskilled and uneducated, many of them diseased (over 80% of current COVID patients in McAllen TX hospitals are illegal aliens, being treated on the U.S. taxpayers' dime), many of them criminals, have flooded across our southern border in just the past six months, the reality is much, much worse.

589 The bad news just keeps coming. The number of low wage jobs has never recovered to pre-pandemic shutdown levels and the government announced today they are still down 22% in number. Then, when you consider we have opened our borders to a million people through June.... The poor are getting hammered hard in the Biden economy.
------- It's all going to the Leftards' plan to wreck the economy and stir the populace into rage or apathy. Then they can hit the Great Reset button. Dunno if that's going to work out as intended.

Kamala would install a new vice-president-in-waiting regardless of what Congress would or wouldn't do in terms of confirmation.
The Senate would proceed to do their best impression of a monkey fucking a football until after the mid-terms; everyone in the media would simultaneously pretend that such delays were terribly unjust, unconstitutional, but unavoidable, and necessary.

> Bidet changed with the withdrawal date and everyone in Afghanistan realized they could never trust Bidet to keep any deal or promise. So Kabul and the Afghan Army cut deals with the Taliban to live.
I don't think we'll ever know the entirety of what happened. I think the Chinese and the Iranians have been planning all this for at least the last decade. There's also all the Tolly-bon Generals Obastard released from Gitmo. There's the fact that Afghanistan is controlled by about 40 different warlords who are easily manipulated by offering to settle scores for them. There's also the fact that a lot of the Afghani military were there for a paycheck and some fun. As soon as it stopped being fun and a paycheck, they were out. Plenty of trainers have stories about entire groups of Afghani trainees getting frustrated or angry and quitting on the spot during training. The trainees also mostly couldn't read, write, drive a vehicle, and were uncoordinated imbeciles. Posted by: bonhomme at August 16, 2021 01:13 PM (UW2ZS) 714

Some evidence Taliban providing perimeter security at airport. As I thought was likely. We may never know the price, but looking at how they are handling lots of other issues, I think they have decided there's not much gain for them from interfering with evacuation.
