Secretary of State Antony Blinken didn't deny on Sunday that the U.S. has to ask the Taliban for permission to get Americans out of Afghanistan as the developing situation in Kabul continues to present obstacles for evacuations.'Someone in our audience might listen to you, Mr. Secretary, and say, 'Oh, so we have to ask the Taliban for permission for American citizens to leave.' True or not true?' CBS News' Face the Nation fill in host Major Garrett asked Blinken of the 'agreement' between the Islamic militant group and Washington.'They are in control of Kabul. That is the reality,' Blinken responded

They are only in control because you gave that control to them.

If he has a shred of honor, dignity (he doesn't). He would resign.

Mommie, can I have an ice creme cone, maybe with Whipped Creme, if I promise to think about cleaning up my room sometime next week? Otherwise, I'm going to murder the cat.

Are Biden's Buffoons redefining what it means to be a hostage? The people in Afghanistan aren't hostages! They just haven't been given permission to leave the country! Disgusting.

Look how easy it is to defeat the US government. That's the glaring message here as we depart the global stage in favor of communist China.

Follow-up questions: 1. Is that for every individual, or blanket permission? 2. Has permission ever been delayed or denied? 3. If so, what were the circumstances? 4. What about permission for Afghans? (Same questions as above.)

There was a book written many years ago about the NY Mets first year in baseball. Casey Stengel was the manager and the book was called "Can't Anybody Here Play This Game?" Well the people that Biden has put together seem to be having problems playing the political game. They have botched everything that needed to be done to protect Americans working in Afghanistan. They left military hardwear and weapons and planes and ammo. Taliban must think they've hit the mother load, because they have. And china has moved in to make a deal to mine all the rare earth elements that Afghanistan has to offer. Good work Joe. Nice of you to help out your Chinese friends.

Six months into his reign and senile Biden already has created a crisis worse than the evacuation of Vietnam and Carter's Iran hostage mess put together.

Other than Biden I don’t know who’s the biggest moron cabinet member of the Sleepy Regime. Defense, State, Homeland Security, AG etc. I’m going with State because Blinken not only has a punchable face but as my grandma used to say the boy ain’t too smart.

This is a repeat of Obama. Remember when ISIS convoyed across Iraq. It was a perfect opportunity to wipe these devils off the face of the earth. They were lined up outside the population and all that was required was the okay from the military to eliminate them. Obama, of course, did not. Fast forward a few years and we have a very similar situation. Biden could have ordered the military to eliminate the Taliban as they gathered on the road to Kabul and done the world a great service. Yet, he did not. Clearly, Obama and Biden saw what was coming and neither took any steps to prevent it. These two situations were not a coincident. It’s pretty evident neither of them are playing for team America. Who is pulling their strings?

Blinken's greatest accomplishment, to him, was being able to fly the gay pride flag on our embassies. That's how much of a big thinker he is.

Can anyone picture Trump asking these animals for ‘permission’ to do anything? They would be begging him for mercy.

Umm - - Mr. Secretary - - if the taliban granted us their permission to reopen our embassy - - would you still fly the gay pride flag over it?

It is something in life when you recognized incompetent fools but how do democrat governments find all these dumb idiots to put into one place? Biden sure hit the jackpot surrounding himself with bozo clowns. At this point if it wasn't so serious I would like to see the transgender guy in the news as a spokesperson for Biden. I could use a good laugh if this wasn't so tragic.
Let's just look at the Taliban as the landlords who just booted out the tenant in order to take back their property.
This Blinken person is a real piece of work that needs his face punched in.

If you wanted to empower the Taliban, and humiliate the United States, step one would be pull out the US military, leaving behind tens of thousands of hostages.
That is what Team Biden did, arguing there is no “good time” to leave.
But Team Biden knew the BEST time to leave…from the perspective of the Taliban…was while the hostages were trapped and billions of dollars in advanced weaponry were unsecured. And that’s what they did.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out who benefits.

How sad that Winken Blinken has had to admit that the US is now a 3rd rate power who has to ask permission of terrorist groups before rescuing their own citizens

I'm reminded of the phrase I used to read to my children and grandchildren...about blinken..winken...and nod...the pentagon blinked and winked to the Taliban and nodded approval of the take over...biden/obama/soros all sold out America... but...WHY...that question needs answering...there was no excuse for what happened...except they wanted it so...

I am a US Military veteran. I am well past my prime, with many physical disabilities. That said, I am ready to join with my brothers to go get our citizens out of Afghanistan. Yes, a lot of us won't come home alive, but we have the training and experience to succeed. There will be no rules of engagement. If you see a Taliban with rifle, you shoot him. We create a pathway for our citizens and our supporters to get to the airport. It would help if the government deployed a few dozen A-10 Warthogs and a few dozen attack helicopters to add some firepower.

As a retired USAF MSgt, I find the responses from Pentagon brass and the so-called spokespersons in this clown car of an administration nothing short of them committing treason.
How do I see these fools’ committing treason; one, by knowingly leaving Americans in harm’s way; two, knowingly leaving Afghanis that helped our military, only to watch their wives being raped and dismembered and fed to packs of dogs; their daughters carried away as child brides or sex slaves, and when they are no longer useful, murdered. Good going traitors!
The outright disgust I have for Biden, that thing called his VP, and all of the rejects from the far left with persons involved with life and death decisions that affect the lives of our servicemen and women and the safety and security of our once great country.
Just how in the God's green earth are a bunch of 7th century terrorist leading the USA around by the nose? That jackass that is the Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs is an obama general, not one that has seen combat. Just knee pads in which to beg the Taliban, "Oh please Mr. terrorist, please let my people leave your garbage dump of a country.”
Just when did America have to get on our knees to beg a sub human group of fighters from the depth of Hell permission to rescue our citizens? Oh yea, I forgot, Byteme was installed in a coupe to take America to its knees and destroy all that is good in our country with the full help and permission from the democrat communist party.
MSgt USAF (ret)
