It Begins: Americans / 6 Planes Held Hostage, As Terrorists Refuse To Allow Planes To Take Off

That Afghanistan is not now a lake of glass is ample proof that the Xiden regime is morally as well as economically bankrupt.

Great, you are all for nuking innocent people that you hold in contempt for existing...Congrats.

The Kabul airport is only open for domestic flights. Does that mean the Taliban is moving them somewhere else?

Kabul’s airport reopens for domestic flights as Taliban battle resistance fighters in last holdout

KABUL, Afghanistan - The airport has reopened with domestic flights taking off after a team of engineers from Qatar repaired parts of the air traffic control system last week, according to the Taliban commander in charge of airport security. But...

We should have gassed and burned these 15th century idiots while they were in their caves but that was not nice and not PC enough for Democrat cowards .

"should have gassed and burned".......how nice....how American.

 

[Moonglow]

And the dear Senator never did say just exactly what the Taliban wanted..

 

[Pete7469]

And now the hostage situation is starting....

The Taliban reportedly won't let planes leave Afghanistan until 'they get more out of the Americans'

The Taliban is preventing multiple flights from taking off from the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif, CBS News reports.

An NGO in Afghanistan said two planes have been ready to evacuate 600 to 1,200 people, including 19 American citizens and two permanent residents, for the past six days while the U.S. government and Taliban continue to talk.

The White House and State Department have maintained that they hold leverage over the Taliban which will ensure the group cooperates and continues to allow people to leave Afghanistan, but a senior congressional source told CBS News that the Taliban is basically holding the planes "hostage" so they can "get more out of Americans."

Here is what I don't get....

Why do people believe we are governed by other people more intelligent than average? It seems to me that for the most part, the dumbest fucks of all fucks are running the government. Those of average intellect or more seem to be trying to hide in the chaos of a massive shit show, collect as much of a paycheck as they can and escape before they're prosecuted.

Biden Admin is likely to pay a secret ransom, pallets of cash delivered in the dark of night, and we won't hear about it for years due to security classification.

Why is it every time I read something there is a 100:1 Afghan refugee to US citizen ratio?

if Democrats fight wars like they cheat in elections, we would have won in Afghanistan in 1 day!

It should have never been allowed to become a situation in which the world's only superpower is obeying the whims of terrorists. The whole reason this disaster unfolded as it did, was Biden and pals wanted good optics. They wanted this to be a quiet little withdrawal and a good photo op of how great Biden is. We all know how that turned out. American citizens were abandoned because Biden was too weak to bring them home.

I'm sure you or Trump would have done much better. Of course you'd have to get all the Americans out of the entire country with 2,500 troops facing off against 100,000 Taliban.

The US citizens knew that the US would exit Afghanistan in May of 2021 yet they were still there even after Biden delayed the exit until August. How many of these US citizens actually wanted to leave? I'd guess those at NGOs might choose to stay behind.

Instead, they leave our citizens there at the Taliban's mercy, and hand billions of dollars worth of high-tech equipment over to the Taliban (Al Qaeda's allies)....

Hell, Biden even left our Al Qaeda and ISIS prisoners at Bagram, where the Taliban could release them and share the bounty with them !!!

No wonder Bin Laden actually wanted Biden to be President!!!!

Bin Laden warned in 2010 letter that Biden would ‘lead US into crisis’

Osama bin Laden once warned al Qaeda not to target Joe Biden because he believed that his inheriting the presidency if something were to happen to Barack Obama would “lead the US into a crisi…

Then call up the Taliban and ask them if they will take yer check.

The Texas representative added: "We know the reason why is because the Taliban want something in exchange."

[ClaireH]

Who was in charge to decide that the Taliban determine which people
could enter the airport during the evacuations? That decision alone is total evidence of a complete impending disaster. Had US troops been stationed outside and inside those airport gates, things would’ve gone 200% better with less risk of anti-US militant Islamists getting through who might have paid off Taliban guards.
