Another 1,000 soldiers from the Army's 82nd Airborne have been ordered to head directly to Afghanistan's capital instead of Kuwait to assist in the evacuation of U.S. personnel and Afghans who assisted the U.S. mission, a U.S. official told ABC News. That brings the total number of U.S. troops being sent back to Afghanistan to 6,000. The increase of service members to Kabul follows Gen. Frank McKenzie, the commander of U.S. Central Command, meeting with representatives of the Taliban earlier Sunday in Doha, Qatar, to inform them not to interfere with the U.S. mission at the airport, according to a

Biden's puppet masters are out of control. Panic at the WH will cause additional troop casualties. This is beginning to look like the Iranian Hostage crisis. What a mess!

I have one thing to say, considering the situation: Are they TRYING to get our people killed?

So he pulled out the 3000 that were there, but sends back 6000 to do what? Roll out the red carpet for the Taliban?

Lie-berals are incapable of comprehending logic, reason, or facts. They make decisions based solely on "feelings". Not-my-president Lyin' Joe biden's handlers "felt" like Afghanistan would be just hunky dory if we left, regardless of how logic, reason, and facts screamed otherwise. Any conservative could have told him exactly what was going to happen, but he would have ignored the logic, reason, and facts being presented. Now all that is left is finding someone to blame!!!
That is how disasters like this happen every time the Demon-Rats are in charge!!!

News reports from Kabul today say on-site embassy personnel “not responding to messages.” Shades of Iran?

Where will they be landing. It won't be Bagram, the Taliban has that.
What they should be doing is sending over A-10's and hosing down everything till they run out of ammunitionj, then loading up and hitting them again 24/7

Have all these possible white supremacist troops completed their mandated crt indoctrination and vaccine injections? Are they all fully integrated with the requisite DEI personnel? If not, let's call the whole thing off until these demands are met.

The US Government should not be telling the world about troop movements to Afghanistan as there are more than the Taliban watching and waiting to see if they can do harm to the troops and America.
It looks like the big mucky muck Afghans have had a plan with the Taliban for the future Afghanistan that the Americans and NATO did not have a clue about. So much for the US intelligence community.

The troops are being reployed to Afghanistan. It is not an embassy rescue operation. It is a Biden's rear end rescue mission.

Another 1000 thrown on the altar of sacrifice? Will someone please step in as the adult here? It's time for the 25th Amendment for this stupid sock puppet. While you are cleaning house, its time for Austin's, Milley's and Blinken's heads as well. They own this.
They are pouring troops in to this debacle. The more they send, the harder it will be to extract them. They are throwing their lives away on this bullsht.

Too little, too late. Biden obviously doesn't know what he is doing. And neither, apparently, do his "handlers."

I hope that before our troops pull out again that they "spike their cannons." It's seems to be obvious that the
Afghan army did not do so with the ordnance our troops left behind.

He needs to be removed. He is compromised. The idiot Harvard junta has no experience. That is who is running this operation. Next they need to remove white rage Miley and the whole joint chiefs. They stole all the money they used to train and equip the so called Afghan army. Then they left behind all the equipment and ammunition. Disgraceful. Next we will see Taiwan fall. The Chinese smell weakness and know inexperienced morons are running the US.

The Reps of the taliban obviously will be very afraid of another 1k troops arriving and they 'won't interfere'!!! I an convinced the trashy taliban is shaking in their boots. Hey, general what moron school did you come from??? Oh, you are acting on behalf of the basement prez who is having a nap and ordering or signing anything put in front of his nose during a few waking minutes. General are you aware they have tons of American helicopters, weapons, ammunition etc., so when our guys leave later will they be just blown out of the sky???

What are the rules of engagement for the 82nd airborne guys? Even my evil big sister sees the problem with sending more troops.

One hopes that we are sending military air traffic controllers as well as system technicians for the radars. Will also need aircraft maintenance personnel, refueling teams with sufficient jet fuel. Kabul’s one airport will be incredibly busy with incoming troops, supplies and tents, hundreds of tents for military
personnel, civilians, medical teams and tens of thousands of fleeing Afghans.

Let's hope that they brought lots of thermite grenades. They'll need them to demil lots and lots of very expensive equipment that we should have shipped home long ago.

If you look at the videos of the masses of disorganized people all over the Kabul Airport including on the runway, I don’t believe for one minute that Biden is going to be able to land 6,000 combat troops at that airport that no doubt will be surrounded by the Taliban shortly if not already. If Biden does land those troops at that airport it will only because the Biden crew bribed the Taliban leaders by handing them a huge amount of dollars. Once landed as the situation appears to stand now, the Taliban after getting the money, could break the agreement putting those troops in extreme danger. Anyway 6,000 troops would need a lot of logistical support and who knows if the Taliban can control the Afghans, Taliban or not, who have started firing weapons into that airport. Remember that liberal Democrat politicians like Biden believe that anytime they have a problem, the thing to do is throw big money at the problem, not caring if a percentage is raked off through corruption, hoping that the money will make the problem go away.

"Sir, all the troops have been pulled out!"
"What about the equipment, armaments, and civilians?"
"Oops!"
