I would still like to know why the Taliban hasn't been exterminated over the last twenty years

Because it's an ideology, not an entity. You'd have to wipe out the entire belief system. Taliban is just the latest name.

We'd have to eliminate Pakistan in order to do that. The US is so afraid of creating instability in a nuclear armed Pakistan that we have now created instability in a nuclear armed Pakistan. Watch as Taliban and AQ now start agitating for control of Pakistan. Think the Chinese won't help ? You know they will. China has ongoing problems on its border with India...........Pakistan's enemy.

Bet the Chinese and Russians are going to be happy with all their new toys.

We as American citizens can’t have any of the things that our government just gladly gave to our sworn enemies.

If the moron resident isn’t tried for treason, than there is no hope for this country.

you you think they polled all the ones they are bringing here and left the ones behind that weren't going to vote donkey.

Maybe China will let their future collaborators/refugees attend summer camp with the Uighurs

Yawn......

Typical of a Muslim country that practices sharia law.
Women are left at home because their husband told them so. They watch the children. The old men watch the females to guard against any shame possibly brought onto the family.

Male centric society. This is why the Taliban want to keep it that way.

Meanwhile the males flee the country leaving their family , but somehow there is no shame in being a coward and letting your family get massacred by the religious extremists.

Here is the speech

Moron.

Yip he needs serious help

Russia has been close with the Taliban for a good 10 years and there were plenty of meetings between thebTaliban and Lavrov on Russian soil. Russia still views China as a opponent. This has been very strategic on their part.

China's one road one belt initiative will hardly be effected by this since they are mote concentrating on the Indian Ocean.

Thanks for posting that, Adam.

What a fiasco! And Biden makes it all sound planned and under control. The one good thing I can say about Biden is that he's not trying to shift the blame to his predecessor or advisors, but takes it on himself. Trump would never have done that.

I also noticed that the NBC news commentators that follow the speech are very critical of the president's handling of the withdrawal.

I will say I was shocked by the questions the MSM were asking. It was almost as if they were talking to Trump.

Such a unique occurrence even you take notice of it. That leopard won't change its spots.

So explain to me exactly what Trump should have done. You think he should have went to war against Turkey who was attacking the Kurds? Turkey who is in the NATO Alliance with us? Should we have went to war with NATO? I see the leader of the Taliban is one of the prisoners I had the displeasure of baby sitting at GTMO. Hmm who let him go? Oh yeah it was Obama and Biden who traded him and four as bad as him off for a deserter...

Posco, what isn't new or unique is your inability to reply to me without an insult. Yawn. Go bite someone else's ankles.

Jim

Insult? Nothing more than an accurate observation.

I guess they teach you how to make accurate observations in church. Good thing you've got your Christian recharge coming on Sunday.

Jim

Even the lib media is not covering this up….Iam shocked !
