Wait until they end up firing on a plane....god forbid. 

 

Some lady on CBS just said that they are welding up the gates to the airport and telling Americans to stay away.

Sources told mc Biden’s got this don’t worry 

For the life of me, I cannot understand why they didn't get all the civilians out while they still had soldiers there to 'hold the fort', then pull the soldiers out. Seems like a lousy strategy to me.

Many American contractors are under contract long into 2022. These agreements were signed by both the trump and Biden administration. Many have every intention on staying and working with the new government. That is unless the plug gets pulled on funding.

That fine, if someone wants to stay, no problem, they can stay. I'm talking about the people who want to leave. Seems like this shitshow at the airport could have been avoided. Clear a path, put a ring around the airport, and its 'all ashore that going ashore'. Only then do you pull the defenses. 

At least 10 U.S. Marines and soldiers have been killed in the suicide bombing outside Kabul airport Thursday, U.S. officials tell Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson.

Simple that's common sense, as for the Biden, he thinks with common dollars as you can tell by his spending.

Here is a possible future problem.   Terror attack on our soil in the next 2-3 years that is "traced" back to Afg and we are stupid enough to go right back in.  

$50 we are going back in last week.

Or hostage situations with US citizens, I seriously hope Biden gets everyone out without casualties by the 31st and we never go back, but already have casualties and now our people cant get to the airport..Not a good situation at all..
