Iranians fleeced BHO
Ain't that how BHO settled things with the Iranians?

"until they get more our of the americans"
I guess the Taliban were taking notes when the Iranians fleeced BHO. Time to start packing gold and cold hard cash onto the C130s. It looks like Deja Vu all over again. Maybe some of the enlightened more progressive folks on this forum can explain what "getting more out of the Americans" is suppose to mean? I'm sure I know.
Will the Taliban demand interest on that cash?
"To the victor goes the spoils" TLD - what are you implying, that yes, we lost the war and the Taliban not only defeated the Afghanis but also defeated the US?

If true how is that possible and will Bidens people admit to doing it? Biden started out with a good idea and his administration has gone out of its way to turn the operation to full tilt FUBAR. Did Biden listen to anybody giving him advice? Was there ever a plan? How could any plan have included abandoning Bagram AFB before all our friends and American citizens were evacuated? My personal 64 thousand dollar question.. who was the dumb f**k in Bidentown that made that call? Will whoever the dumbf**k that made the decision be held accountable? Will we ever know who the idiot was that authorized abandoning such a vital strategic position knowing it would soon be needed. Maybe Jen Sake can clear it up for America?

Why do you think I didn't waste my time looking for it dumbass?Kismet wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 2:57 pmMaybe the reason you cannot provide a credible link is because the story is fantasy.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 2:36 pm I don't have a valid link but allegedly the US State Dept is preventing rescue flights out of Afghanistan.
