#1 Worse than reported? I find that very difficult to disbelieve.

#2 Some media reporting 40,000 Americans left behind.

#3 The shelter in place notifications may have caused an unknown number of AmCits to delay fleeing to the airport. They are now effectively hostages in waiting and certainly at risk for retaliation and/or looting and worse. Hard to imagine the TB being benevolent about their disposition going forward.

#6 i suppose its a good thing to get all the Talibunnys in one place, calmed down and complacent with their new roles as "leaders".....

#7 Don't worry, Biden will ask them Pretty Please with Sugar on Top and it will all be ok...

#8 Depending on which Americans have been left behind the removal (official or otherwise) of any ROE restrictions might well be enough to get them out.

#9 There will be no loosening of the ROE. If anything, this administration will tighten them.

#10 /\ The Taliban is now in charge. They will dictate the ROE.

#11 The media will filter and lie to support Biden. If Trump was President breaking news would be 24/7 with all the gore and destruction.

There will be no flag draped coffins on the news that only occurs during non-democrat Presidencies.

Finish your comments as fast as you can, and get the hell out of here, I don't want to catch it.

#15 Exactly who are these “Americans”, and what were they doing there?

#16 Serious enough, but might this be a "small-ish" (comparatively speaking) price to pay for distracting the wrath of a dishonest election?

The penalty for treason is more severe than that for incompetence.

#17 Exactly who are these “Americans”, and what were they doing there?

What I'm picking up, and certainly no insider, is that after 20 years you have your usual spattering of Knaves, Good Wills, Commuters, Treasure Hunters, Adventurers, Translators, Appraisers, and Dumb Asses.

Any worth their weight, or the bollocks (kittens to be inclusive) on them, gone two months ago. Two weeks at the Brazillion shave.
