In Harm's Way
We have thousands of American soldiers that Commander And Chief Biden has ordered into Afghanistan in the past few days.
These soldiers are now stationed in Kabul at the airport. The only airport that is still operative in Afghanistan. Many of these soldiers are trapped at this airport and encircled by the Taliban fighters. Taliban fighters that could use our own weapons on these soldiers. The media has skirted this issue. These troops have been put in a situation actually with little weaponry to defend themselves.
Why did Biden choose to close our main military airport in Afganastan before ensuring our troops would no longer have a purpose for that military airport?
In my view, the blood of these soldiers that are now pretty much trapped at the Kabul airport is on Biden's hands... In reality, these troops are sitting ducks. And Biden's threats and his Redline hold no strength. The US would never bomb largely populated cities where the Taliban would certainly hide.
Its another case of evacuations vs those left behind.
"It is deeply troubling that there is no concrete plan in place to evacuate allies who are clearly in harm's way," said Krish O'Mara Vignarajah, president of the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service resettlement organization.
"It is baffling why the administration has been taking so long in order to secure these agreements," she said.

utter stupidity?
what ELSE?
Never have I witnessed this kind of stupidity. Never have I seen a President disrespected our troops so thoroughly. Biden needs to be impeached immediately.
he and his vice presidient, both ... and then we will have the QUEEN!
WE are in deep U NO WHAT.
We, (most of the nation, apparently,) wanted a nice, non-tweeting president.
This is very funny, abwilliams. Lol-worthy, it is.
Yes, and he does not come right out and tell the truth either. And he does not really care about America or its people. But, he is not Trump... Oh well, this is what I expected all along ...chaos
None of this is funny in the least, laughing to keep from crying is all.

With the news that a further 8 UK service personnel have died in Afghanistan in the last 24 hours it means that deaths in this war now exceed those due to the Iraq conflict. As a result calls are increasing for the troops to be pulled out. What are your views on the matter?

Most of you know I am very critical of Obama but it looks like he is going to send about 20,000 to 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan which is what needs to be done. At least, that is the rumor on the street.For all of you who support Obama, I'm assuming you will be against this...
