President Biden has decided to adhere to his initial August 31 deadline for withdrawing American forces from Afghanistan, multiple outlets reported on Tuesday.
Biden has requested contingency plans should the U.S. need to keep troops in Afghanistan until a later date, a senior administration official told CNN. A Taliban spokesman said on Tuesday that the U.S. must withdraw all its forces from the country by August 31, with “no exceptions.”
In response to the Taliban threat, Senator Ben Sasse (R., Neb.) urged Biden to ignore the withdrawal deadline.
“Damn the deadline. The American people are not going to surrender our fellow citizens to the Taliban.

Xiden saluted and said, 'Yessir, Mr. Neckbeard...don't worry about those American suckers we are leaving behind...my press toadies will smooth it all over. Go ahead and kill them after we leave. Now, can I get you all some soft serve?'

The taliban made him a-scared. You'd be a-scared too - - if the taliban wanted to make you a-scared.
Oooooh! The taliban!

In other words, if you're still in-country you're already too late in leaving. I cannot believe what is happening. No ball bearings or strawberries for our lunatic Commander in Chief - just chocolate-chip ice cream.

First Biden announced the death sentence for those who helped us during the war in Afghanistan by the premature, poorly planned withdrawl of US forces. Now, he has also acted as Executioner by announcing the date that public executions will start. He has also saved the Taliban the trouble of having to take US citizens as hostages. He has literally handed those stranded by the sudden withdrawl and inability to get out of the country over to the Taliban. Now the Taliban just needs to find them all. How will the Biden administration and his media accomplices spin the upcoming American hostage crisis and slaughter of our former Afghan allies?

I used to comment with tongue-in-cheek regarding the administration of the Sock Monkey president. He's setting up Americans to be butchered through his idiotic decisions. Of course, they will say that those who will be slaughtered, "chose" to remain. But, by God, choosing not to be inoculated is tantamount to insurrection against the all-knowing government and they have every right to restrict your liberties...tell me which government is the Taliban.

If the Taliban wants to talk numbers, the numbers I suggest the US send are: "1," standing for First Marine Division; "7," for Seventh Fleet; "10," for Tenth Special Forces Group, "56," for the 56th Fighter Wing, and last but not least, "82," for the 82nd Airborne Division. You're in a high-stakes poker game, Joe, and when you show that winning hand, you can sit back and watch them fold.

Biden is trying to look decisive. But don't buy it. Anyone who has common sense--and that excludes Xiden, Pelosi, Milley, Austin, and others--knows that true decisiveness means comprehending what evil is and being committed to containing it. This regime has no clue about evil. In fact, to them, evil is good, and good is evil.
We are in serious trouble.

Joe didn't make that decision. I heard this morning that the Taliban said NO to extending the time limit. And as others have said, WHY do we have a time limit. Tell them what #11 suggested! Trump would have done it in a Heartbeat!

I hope the Never Trumpers at National Review are happy. Sure, he has completely surrendered to a bunch of terrorists and armed them with the finest weaponry on the planet. Sure, he has allowed them to take thousands of Americans hostage. Sure he has totally undermined any trust any of our allies had in the US. But at least he doesn't put out mean tweets. That's a fair trade, isn't it?

For all those Americans and our Afghan helpers who are in great danger now - behind enemy lines, so to speak - this pompous fool, Joe Biden, has declared himself their 'judge, jury and executioner'. There are many American and other patriots - who are not in Biden's circle - doing their very best to rescue those who are pleading for help and desperately want (and deserve) to get out of Afghanistan.

It was not a “decision” any more than than he decided to fall upstairs was a decision.
He’s an insect, the griddle gets hot he shrivels. There’s some sugar he wallows in it and tries to carry it back to Delaware.

At the moment Biden has to say that all US troops will leave on or before August 31, as the Taliban have him by the short hairs, in that the Taliban could fire artillery shells and tactical artillery rockets into Kabul Airport at any time stopping all evacuation efforts and potentially killing or wounding a number of the US and NATO troops there.
The Taliban know that, and in keeping with the traditions of that part of the world will probably try to negotiate a deal with Biden that will in reality be a huge bribe, camouflaged to the American people as Biden giving the suddenly good guy Taliban, who have killed and wounded thousands of American and NATO troops over the years, US foreign aid and other assistance.
Notice that the vast majority of the people that the USA has evacuated are native Afghans some of who assisted US and NATO forces and a lot who did not, only a minority of the evacuated people are US citizens, the USA is thus stripping Afghanistan of its educated classes of people and also an undefined multitude of certain “vulnerable” special interest Afghans who are deemed politically useful to the US Democrats such as claimed members of the Afghan LGBTQ “community”. I would say watch the British forces, as if they leave in the next few days, the Americans will be out by August 31, if not the British will not leave. One thing is for sure the longer the USA stays in Afghanistan the larger the number of really really unidentified Afghan “refugees” who will be brought to the USA for the liberal Democrat aligned refugee resettlement organizations (NGO’s) to care for and resettle in the USA at taxpayers expense will grow exponentially.

Pure BS. Biden has struck down everything that Donald Trump has done for us out of spite. This deadline is simply his excuse for him and Barack to help a group of terrorists do what they do best, kill. This country developed a healthy hatred for muslim terrorists on September 11, 2001 and we should have followed through on our first impulse. Instead they are now part of the golden calf class that we are supposed to cater to.
News you can use, Joe and all of the muslim America haters who are pulling your strings, the day of reckoning is coming and it won't be pretty. You are just wily enough to realize that you must take our freedoms and our weapons away in order to beat us but you are not smart enough or strong enough to actually do it.

What's really frightening is that no one in this administration has resigned. Sounds like national humiliation and surrender to China are part of the plan.

#25, demonrats never resign. Example #1 - not a single member of Clinton’s staff or cabinet resigned when he was caught diddling Monica in the OO. Instead, they held a pep rally when he was impeached.

This puts enormous pressure on the remaining staff and troops. Military matériel will have to be crated-up and loaded onto planes while the personnel are still on the ground. They'll be drawing straws to see who gets on that last plane.

It's difficult to accept that a country and a military that chased Hitler all over Europe and saved dozens of overrun countries while simultaneously exterminating the Imperial Japanese all over the Pacific Ocean is backing down from a bunch of unwashed goat humpers whose heads are in the sixth century and their women are considered one step below dogs. Our leaders are obviously insane and we had better remove them before they do something really stupid. We need to let our fathers and grandfathers know that they didn't raise a bunch of pathetic losers.

#10 nails it. As soon as we heard the comment about getting everybody out who chooses to leave Mrs Clinger and immediately read that to establish the excuse for abandoning our people to be slaughtered.
Biden "decides" to stick to 31 August? Who do you think you are fooling?

Biden has failed to uphold his Oath of Office. This is grounds for impeachment. Real grounds. Not the BS that Pelosi used against Trump.

Biden has no leverage. If he does not agree, Americans will suffer. That being said, he created this mess.
