#2 Hopefully the Taliban and Pakistan’s ISI don’t read the conservative press.

#3 Biden hates the American people. They did not vote him in democratically. Only 10 people ever showed up at his rallies. He just hates them.

#4 Given the previous posture of our government, I'm a bit skeptical of this story. Unless there is some unspecified reason for fetching these particular people...

#5 Biden is not in charge in AFG, or much of anything else. The CIA (shadow gov't) has always been in charge of this conflict. The Department of Defense, the historical nemesis of the CIA, played a clearing and support role. The Agency was instrumental in convincing the Russians to leave. They were the first people back in. They will be the last people out.

While certainly encouraged to see it happen, I am hesitant to attribute the rescue of Americans outside the wire to CIA altruism.

This could be part of it:

Dozens of California students, parents stranded in Afghanistan after summer trip abroad

#6 Unless there is some unspecified reason for fetching these particular people...

Asset recovery.

#7 Look for the joint chiefs to investigate this insubordination and punish these folks

#8 I kind of question how much of an American these people really are. I mean are they 'American' in the sense that Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are 'Americans', forever with an allegiance to a foreign power?
There's got to be a reason that they were in Afghanistan to begin with. Notwithstanding the imbecilic school that sent students there for a summer trip.

#10 Chaldean Central

Iraqi Christians? Were they going as missionaries or set up schools and health clinics?

#11 #9...That is correct Frank.

#12 I have read news snippets all over the net from various US citizen Afghans who were visiting relatives in Afghanistan 15 August. Apparently they thought their visits were safe.

#13 they should learn to read the news.
