    So the Biden administration claims there are five thousand Americans who don't want to leave Afghanistan. Does anyone believe that?

    Are you aware the Taliban, Isis and all of them want to control the world?

    I think 13 Americans were killed in a suicide bombing today and an undetermined number of Afghans, i.e., I have seen different numbers reported for the Afghan injuries and deaths. Biden says he will respond at a time of our choosing....

    Right and just like his buddy B. Obama, a red line in the sand doesn’t mean a thing. The only thing Joe Biden knows how to do is to retreat.

    The only way Joe Biden can root out those who had anything to do with the bombing and other attacks is to get out of the way and tell someone like Gen. Mattis that he has Carte Blanche authority and can do whatever he feels necessary to complete such a mission.

    As it turns out, our brain-addled president gave a kill list of Americans and Afghans who cooperated with us to the Taliban, apparently believing that they would ensure their safe passage to the airport if only they knew who they were and where they could be found. This is similar to his giving Putin a list of our vulnerabilities.

    Heck, they have just about everything except the football so why doesn’t Biden hand that over too?

    Again, during a presser yesterday we have Biden blaming D. Trump for this disastrous evacuation plan.

    Now get this. EVERY initiative that Donald Trump signed into action by Executive Order was negated by Joe Biden upon getting into the Oval Office. Everything, including the Contingency and Crisis Response bureau (CCR) which was mysteriously disbanded last month with concurrent knowledge that we were pulling out of Afghanistan!
    Note: The CCR was developed with the explicit purpose of pulling Americans out of other countries in a time of crisis.
    Note 2: And yes, Joe Biden or whomever is pulling the strings also changed the method and conditions by which we were to pull out but yet, he still blames Donald Trump.

    I’m already imagining Nancy Pelosi starting an investigative committee to nail Trump for planning the bombing at the Kabul airport.

    The question I already know the answer to is this: Will Biden EVER OWN what he is doing or will he continue to blame everyone else especially Donald Trump for bringing this nation to its knees in just a short 8 months?

    Besides the fact your words are not an answer to my question....I would like to know -in your opinion- if USA needs to wait for the death of thousands Americans before retaliation begins.

    As a belief system, those who practice Islam would wish that everyone be Muslim. Some lead that direction in peace and some by any means necessary to achieve that goal.

    Now, as you should know, those in the Taliban and ISIS are Islamic but they, like the individual tribes that make up the Islamic culture, do not get along with each other.
    One of the main drives that the United States was interested in is to bring the tribes together and show them that they could indeed co-exist.

    ISIS and the Taliban are two completely different facets with two different goals and neither one is out to “control” the world. If anything, ISIS wants to complete it’s mission of installing the Caliphate thereby ushering in the return of Mohammed which, according to their belief, will change the world as we know it to be. If that’s what is meant by controlling the world, okay, we’ll run with that.

    On the other hand, the Taliban, a once powerful force against the rule of Russia, became the ruling party and wants to regain the power it once had and rule Afghanistan again.
    It is when the Taliban hid Bin Laden that the United States marched in and dethroned the Taliban which at the same time gave the Afghans some freedoms they’d never enjoyed before.

    Now to the dreaded question.
    In my way of thinking, there is no way that ISIS members could have done the damage they did without the cooperation of the Taliban.
    Whilst they do not have the same basic interests they both want Americans out of the country and to bring Sharia Law back into full force.
    Now, should we go back in to retaliate against those who were responsible for the bombing?

    Who actually did it? Is there some Bin Laden like individual who we can kill or what? We do not know and if someone does they’re not spilling the beans.
    The leaders of the Taliban were already in one place and we could have sent in a cruise missile to take them all out at once but we didn’t.
    We already know that members of ISIS get a major portion of their money from the poppy fields so we could have and still could wait until the poppy harvest season when most of the members are in and at the fields and nuke them out of existence.
    Note: Of course, China would love that because if Afghanistan couldn’t produce the basics for the medical opioid industry then they would have a better market for theirs.

    So now. Who do we retaliate against? The whole city of Kabul with a population of millions? Okay, let’s do that and see how much better the world will look at us then.

    It appears that large numbers of Afghanis will be killed, but the fate of the Americans left behind is up for question. Americans are being mugged and their IDs stolen by the Taliban so that they will find it difficult or impossible to leave, and it now appears that a large number of Americans and Europeans will be held as hostages in perhaps the largest hostage incident in history. Ironically, China is trying to get into the good graces of the Muslims there, but is having some trouble due to the large number of Muslims held in slave labor camps in China. That leaves Russia as the biggest player, with China and Iran vying for influence. I don't think Biden will do anything, and it appeared that he was close to tears at his latest public statement when he said he had been instructed to call on certain reporters in a given order by his handlers.

    Lets not forget also that Obama fired 197 top brass his first 5 years in office. Now we see who he replaced them with.He basically purged our military with his personal coup.
