Screaming match between British and U.S. commanders. The British are closely watching Americans in case they bug out without forewarning.

What the hell…

Update: The Australians are out collecting their people too.

It seems that the hands of our military are tied.

Quote:At a press briefing, Fox News' Jennifer Griffin said: "General Taylor, British paratroopers are leaving the airport, going into Kabul to rescue and evacuate some of their citizens who are trapped [and] can't get to the airport because of the Taliban."

"Why isn't the U.S. doing that?" she asked.

Maj. Gen. Hank Taylor, who serves as deputy director of the Joint Staff Regional Operations, replied that the U.S.' focus was on securing Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA).

"At this time, our main mission continues to be to secure HKIA, to allow those American citizens and other SIVs to come in and be processed at the airfield."

This whole thing disgusts me to no end.

This current administration DNC controlled regime has to go starting from the top on down.

Our current "President" who is supposedly the "leader of the free world" is afraid to face the press and answer questions.  The current "Vice President" is running away from the mess that they created.

It's not just the mess in Afghanistan, but also the mess at the southern border, the mess of our economy, etc. etc..

Just a few short months ago the appointed military "leaders" were more focused on the stupid "woke agenda" of the democrat party rather than focus on what their real job(s) are.

I never thought that I would see the day where our country became this weak.

You liberals don't have to put up with President Trump's "mean tweets" anymore and instead have all of this.  Good luck as we descend into third world country status.
