The strikes are the first known since U.S. Army Gen. Scott Miller, America’s last four-star commander to serve on the ground in Afghanistan, stepped down from his role last week.

Wow so the first since last week.

The Taliban, so very unexpectedly, are sweeping through the country and gobbling up territory.

We're sending B-52 bombers, AC-130 gunships, and fighter jets to stop them. That should work just fine.

I expect many civilian deaths. You can't bomb these guys.

We need to destroy the country in order to make it safe for democracy.

Taliban take 10th Afghan provincial capital in blitz

Afghanistan is going to tell Saigon to hold my beer.  

Man, I'd hate to be an Afghan that helped the US.  

This is what asylum should be used for.  Not for domestic violence and gangs of those trying to get in the US illegally.

Yep

The only thing we should have done there was launch a few “surgical strikes” to kill Osama and his henchman but Bush and his MIC couldn’t waste a good opportunity to throw away billions on the United States’ longest war EVER. IDGAF about Afghanistan or anyone living there. It will always be a complete shithole no matter what we do.

It’s fascinating to me how big of pussies the army that we trained is.  Are they just dropping their weapons and running away?

Probably

They are claiming they are trying to get the interpreters out but I'm guessing at this point most of them are going to be killed.

I agree it's what it should be used for.

But do you think the same people Reeeing over the Mexican immigrants are going to be in any way supportive of granting asylum to "Muslimz"? 

And yes, I'm aware that immigrants and those seeking asylum are different things. The people who would be pissed at this, are not.

Lol. We probably trained half the Taliban.

Only half?

The Taliban are going to have so many nice shiny MRAPs. I'm jealous.

[Lhalo]

Not much longer until they have control of the whole country.

You are likely correct. I reeeee!! over illegals doing what they are doing but would fully support granting asylum to any Afghans that supported the US troops when we were over there.

Biden is asking the Taliban to spare our embassy when they finally sack Kabul.

I'm sure they will, Joe.
