If every male Afghan
up and left the Stan,
what would be left but dirt,
which wimmin and the pansies
would quickly sweep away
and make a goat the chief squirt.

#14  Besoeker has a good batting average, and it does make a lot of sense for both sides to have a blackout.

Suppose we should look for a leak about how it was Saudi Arabia's fault there overnight on 9/5 to build up outrageous outrage against S.A. leading up to the 20th anniversary of 9/11, then the tribute to end all tributes can focus on victims and blame, and skirt any Afghanistan coverage?

#11  /\ We won't see it. The TB will block the news. Biden administration will declare successful rescue. No mention of anyone left behind.

#9  -Operative sets bag of cash on table-

We would like to consider an extension to our previously agreed closing date.

No. In fact, now we close down the airport access for your Afghans.


"Bid him endure until the day," a lagging answer came;
"The night is short, and he can pray and learn to bless my name."
Before the dawn three times he spoke, and on the day once more:
"Creature of God, deliver me, and bless the King therefor!"

#8  The Biden Administration has Certain Parts Of Its Anatomy(TM) caught in a wringer

but he can still function

Mentally ill British man who chopped his penis off in failed suicide attempt gets it reattached nearly 24 hours later... and he can still get erections

#7  Defiant Taliban REFUSES to extend evacuation deadline despite secret talks with CIA boss: Regime issues chilling warning to westerners just minutes before G7 leaders plead with Biden to stay beyond August 31 - or leave refugees just 24 hours to get out

#6  Last chance to get out of Kabul: Joe Biden rejects pleas from G7 leaders to extend Afghan evacuation beyond Aug31st after Taliban insists there can be no extensions - despite secret meeting with CIA - and BANS Afghans from leaving

#5  ...The Biden Administration has Certain Parts Of Its Anatomy(TM) caught in a wringer here, and the only way I can see this ending with even a chance of getting the Americans out will be a deal where the Taliban (or worse, a 'Multinational' force)secures the outer perimeter of the airport as the last US military evacuates by 31 August and whatever Americans can get to Kabul by then will get pulled out by civilian or UN/Third Country operated aircraft.

I hope like hell there's another way out but I ain't seeing it.

#4  The vast majority of those "American citizens" voted for Bidet. They deserve what is ahead for them.

#3  Just in. Biden capitulates to Taliban demands. Will haul ass out of Kabul Aug 1 even if American citizens must be left stranded behind Taliban lines.

#2  Any person with dual US/Afucgan citizenship should be left behind.

#1  Yes. Taliban doesn't want a brain / finance drain and they want to settle a lot of scores with prejudice too. I personally don't want come one come all for self identified "endangered" Afghanis.
