Doha, Qatar — A protest against the Taliban takeover in eastern Afghanistan ended Thursday morning with a report of several people killed after the militants opened fire, sparking a stampede. The Islamic extremists have promised not to seek revenge and to rule over an "inclusive" country, but the public statements come as the group's militants show little tolerance for dissent or disorder, including at the U.S.-held airport vital to all evacuations from the country. CBS News correspondent Roxana Saberi reported that the chaos of the last couple days was continuing outside Kabul's international airport as Afghans try desperately to flee their

"Something is wrong with President Biden, and we are all being asked to pretend we don’t notice."
Jill, have you made the appointment yet?

My son has come up with a horrific scenario. What if the Chinese were to graciously intervene at the Kabul Airport disaster offering security to everyone trapped, as well as free flights, (of course using Chinese passenger planes), to any safe country while the Taliban conveniently (temporarily) melt away. The Chinese would have successfully saved thousands of American and Afghani lives and gained control of the country after making a deal with the Taliban. The optics would be terrible for us because you know they would film everyone being saved thus proving the U.S. is no longer able to take care of their own citizens.

Now the SeeBS bozos up the number to 80,000? Why not fly out everyone in the whole damned hellish mess?
This is ridiculous. If you have US citizenship, perhaps we should try to help. Otherwise.....life is hard, make your own way.

If we had wanted to stop the Taliban, we could have done it days before the disaster began. This chaos was the plan all along. #2, you could have something there. I can't believe the intelligence services and the US Military got it this wrong when every civilian out here with a clear mind saw exactly what was going to happen. Our leadership has gone to the dark side, all of them. Something evil this way comes...

USA stymied in importing people to put on welfare? Truly unprecedented; something must be done to rectify this terrible crisis.

A couple of A-10/gau8 passes would probably clear the roads.

The Taliban TSA decides who gets on the rescue planes. It's not Americans or Afghans who helped the US. It's Muslim men in their teens and twenties. Likely being told by the Taliban to get to Omaha, Nebraska or Cincinnati, Ohio and await further instructions. Insanity.

80 grand? Is that in addition to the seven or eight thousand that have already been lifted out?

Every single one of the Afghans among the "80,000" needs to be resettled in neighboring muslim countries, where the culture is similar. Not in the United States.
Islam is incompatible with Western civilization. Islamites already in the United States do not assimilate.

Actually, #7, that would likely leave burning wreckage blocking the road for days or weeks. And since they are mostly civilians seeking exit, that doesn't seem too useful.

It’s hard to believe that the Tollybon is going to grant a free pass to the Afghans who actually did help the US military for the last twenty years, its more likely that the Tollybon would murder them once they are found. Its more likely that Biden and his crew will end up allowing a big percentage of covert inspired Islamist terrorists to enter the USA, to cover their butts, and to claim that Biden planned the greatest retreat in military history, even eclipsing the retreat from Dunkirk.

Looking at who is actually on some of the “rescue “ planes .the daily mail has some in regal clothing , even a guy all in white on a big chair ,lots of rugs .. all sitting in small groups .. not one midwestern American , or any American among this posh group … reminds me of the crap w the weasel pulled on 9/11getting some special saudi family out of florida right away ! when the entire country was locked down ( a novel idea then .now routine control of us /US) .
