The Taliban on Tuesday eliminated any ambiguity surrounding the United States’ withdrawal deadline, saying the American military must be out of Afghanistan by the Biden administration’s August 31 departure date.
Amid rumors that President Biden is deliberating pushing out the expiration date to evacuate the thousands of American nationals and refugees still stuck in Afghanistan’s interior, a Taliban spokesman announced that “no extensions” will be granted, the Associated Press confirmed.
At a press conference Tuesday, Taliban representative Zabihullah Mujahid said it would be a “violation” of the Trump-era arrangement to allow foreign nationals to exit the country beyond August 31st.

Well, sure. If you or I were the Tallyban and dealing with these incompetents from Sleepy Creepy Crooked President Uncle Joe to the woke generals in the Pentagon, I'd play tough, too. Sooner or later, Uncle Joe will capitulate -- ie, pay ransom, release Gitmo detainees, whatever.
Maybe they can send Hunter Biden over there. Doubt if he'd get anybody out, but he would walk away with a nice honorarium for his valuable services.

Biden has painted himself into a corner now. What will he do? He's made no effort to rescue US citizens that are being blocked from getting to the airport like the UK and France have done. Isn't there anybody who knows what there doing available or have they all been purged ala General Flynn?

Time to put on your big boy pants (or big boy Depends) Joe, and tell the Taliban that we will not be dictated to.

Now THEY are dictating "Redlines", because Biden gave them every indication that HE/we could be dictated to. a "Real" president/CIC would have said .."We want to leave, you want us to go, fine. We are going, but ANY interference to our withdrawal, ANY security threats of ANY kind will result in massive response, if we have to bring 50,000 troops, 2000 aircraft and thousands of TONS of bombs into play to do it, if we have to flatten everything within 10 miles to create a safe extraction area we will do so. We HAVE done this before we have the capabilities to do so again"... Instead Biden sent out all of his staff to say "There is nothing we can do, we don't have the capability to do anything". Clearly false, weak, dishonest...IF he had said, "we have the forces to do whatever we want but I choose NOT to risk the cost and the casualties to do it" at least that would have been True.(and likely supported by many more people)
Mao said "Advance until you feel their steel, then stop, when their steel wavers? Advance another step." Democrats operate under that philosophy politically everyday and in every way...but NOT Militarily. For them War is mere politics, Politics though is Total War.

We will suffer as much humiliation as is in the taliban’s best interest or pleasure.
Schmoe is not familiar with the concept of consequences or responsibility. In his world you simply vote the way those who pay you want you to vote. And then wallow in the payola (after huncher delivers it).
I wonder if the talliban is woke? I wonder if they will wake schmoe up. Even if they do he will never have awareness of it.

Airport runways bombed preventing flights in or out. Thousands of American hostages. Mass rape and murder of Americans in the streets, video streamed live for the world. Biden in his basement taking a nap after an early kid. Kamala cackling.

We must obey their commands - - otherwise they might be mean to us.
But it won't help them - - because the international community will never invite them to Davos or Aspen.

This is very simple but costly.
We need immediately start ramp up again and start the bombing. Pull out the civilians, then destroy whats left and leave.
If Biden were Presidential and do that people may castigate him initially , but history would acknowledge he fixed his problem. It's not like he is running fr re-election. Just do the right thing.

That's exactly why, #9, Xiden is going to do as he was told, slink away with his tail between his legs on the 31st, and declare victory to the Western press. He will not escalate this in any way - if he was going to do that he already would have. He will pull out the rest of the troops, and when isolated news of atrocities against those stranded emerges later, lie about it case by case.

By their own actions, the left sees Trump and conservatives as more of an enemy than the Taliban. Besides, the Americans who were willing to serve in Afghanistan, whether as a fed or as a contractor, are not of the ruling class, so the left sees them as expendable. John Kerry tipped that hand over a decade ago in a speech to students in California, only at that time he warned they might "get stuck in Iraq" if they did not comport with his idea of an education.

Our spineless president cowering to the threats of a bunch of towel headed, goat skin sandaled, cave dwellers riding in a bunch of 53 chevy pickups. When you look at how this fiasco unfolded, how we deserted the airport and military base, left behind millions of dollars in new Humvees, helicopters, night vision glasses, bullet proof vests, rifles and ammunition, one can only conclude this was a complete setup. This was nothing less than aiding and abetting the enemy. Think about it, we weren't driven out, we left in a controlled and calculated withdrawal. Remember what happened when the Navy Seals went in to kill Bin Laden, one of our helicopters crashed. What did they do, they burned and destroyed it before they left so it would be of no use to the enemy. Something is very wrong with this picture....

Hey posterior wipe, my 'extension' is on an armed Naval missile frigate or a B52 circling your crap hole country, already targeting your military hardware 'stolen' from us via the demented Slo Jo the Paedo. Sooner or later you kick the giant and it kicks back (after Slo Jo goes somewhere...and our castrated military leaders retire)

Put a Hellfire into the car of the top Taliban guy and then TELL them that they are not going to set deadlines.
