No MSM journalists have the balls to try and report on Afghanistan. To be fair, it's a very risky endeavor.

But reporters from other countries do.

CNN's reporter was awesome throughout the withdrawal.

I get conservatives issues w/ CNN - it is a liberal network. But she was totally old school - fantastic reporting.

And you understand that circumstances changed dramatically in the past year, and that it can be tougher to get out of an unstable country once that decision is made?

I wonder if you parsed & picked apart Republican military ventures like this.

Bagram was a AFB and was very defensible. And we have a very capable Air Force. And things went downhill the last several months because of Biden's bungling

That's Fox talking. Not the military.

It was a military decision. Bagram's location is bad for evac - 40 miles outside of Kabul, on a single highway. Protecting evacuees would have been impossible to guarantee.

Oh, that's the point.

I voted for Obama in 2008, but not in 2012. I thought his foreign policy was terrible.

I don't pick & choose which military ventures to support or not support based on the party of the President. Literally the only action I supported in my life was getting into Afghanistan, under Bush, which I now regret.

I don't have the partisan take on this stuff. Apparently, you do.

If you hadn't put him in office in 2008 we would not have had to deal with his messes 2008-2016. you just aren't very good at selecting Presidents.

Oh, I thought he was a GREAT domestic President. So I don't regret that vote, which brought our economy back.

So, you voted for Bush, right?

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki went viral on Monday after she rejected the notion that Americans who have yet to be evacuated from Afghanistan are "stranded."

Critics were quick to push back on Psaki’s claim and pointed out several headlines declaring Americans were "stranded" including ABC News, Axios, The Washington Post, The Daily Beast, and NBC News, which used the term as recently as Sunday.

An American mother trapped in Afghanistan made an emotional plea to Joe Biden on Tuesday, urging the president to help her get back to her children in the United States as the Taliban becomes increasingly violent.

"We are in danger. We are in danger Mr. President, please help us," the woman said during an appearance on "Fox & Friends First."

The woman said that she had made multiple attempts to reach the Kabul airport, but people were quickly beaten, whipped, and turned away in fear for their lives.

The woman, who goes by the pseudonym "Fatima" for her own safety, has two children back in America. She said her daughter calls her, asking if the Taliban will behead her and why.

To ease her daughter’s mind, she says that the Taliban have brought kittens for people to play with.

"I can’t talk to my kids and see them anymore because I don’t know, it makes my fear worse."

She said that family members of U.S. citizens have contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the United States, only hearing back that the government would likely "escalate" the situation on the ground.

"Our lives are in extreme danger and I don’t know how long it’s going to continue. They are going to people’s homes at night and they are just taking them away."

This needs to get better and this needs to get better faster because we are running out of time," she added.

Fatima added that she was thankful to be the "voice" of those stranded in Afghanistan.

"And yes, we are stranded," Fatima said

I’m sorry some people did not get themselves out, but I am so thankful it’s over.

I understand you are distraught that no Americans were beheaded, after you prayed so fervently for it.

Take your meds you are hallucinating again.


Even Republicans know the Afghanistan withdrawal was not the epic clusterfuck for the ages you had hoped for. It is not a huge campaign issue for them, they are having to conjure up critical race theory and Communist vax mandates.

So you think it was a foreign policy success? Maybe you should double up on those meds.
