Taliban does promise that Islamic rule will be implemented gradually. For now, only forced marriage and sex slavery. They will wait to implement public floggings and summary execution of gays at a later time.

That would have happened even if we had spent another ten years. Most people agreed President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw, but thought the way it was done was slapdash and unprofessional.
The way fundamental Islam beliefs effect women are not the fault of any President.

Don't wait up for the Taliban to offer maternity flight suits or gender reassignment surgery free for their military...
Even the captain of the Titanic wasn't this incompetent
and at least he let women and children off first
unlike Biden
You are grasping at straws to attract a decent person who has to make a decision that will save lives and billions of dollars in the United States of America.
Roger...
I get it. The beating and sexual exploitation of women comes easier to some of you than it would for some of us. Liberalism is okay with sex slavery and forced marriage as long as there is a political narrative to save.
Sorry Roger.
Defend sex slavery and execution of gays all you want. I won't agree that it is right.

Remember that I don't always agree with what I post
But he is getting criticized by both sides .
A swift Taliban takeover of Afghanistan — faster, Biden said, than he had expected — forced the country's president, Ashraf Ghani, to flee Kabul. Thousands of U.S. troops are now headed back to Afghanistan to provide security for U.S. citizens and allies who are desperate to get out. And much of the world watched in horror as people tried to cling to a departing U.S. military jet at Kabul's international airport.
"It's not that we left Afghanistan," former President Donald Trump said in a statement after Biden's remarks. "It's the grossly incompetent way we left!"
Biden framed his options as binary: either the current situation — spurred by Trump's May 1 deadline for a withdrawal — or a forever war.
"The choice I had to make as your president was either to follow through on that agreement or be prepared to go back and fight the Taliban," Biden said. "I will not pass this responsibility on to a fifth president."
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, the 2012 Republican nominee for president, slammed Biden, saying he had presented a false choice.
"Contrary to his claims, our choice was not between a hasty and ill-prepared retreat or staying forever," Romney said. "The decision to place a higher priority on a political promise than on the lives of innocent men, women and children is a stain on America's reputation and undermines our credibility around the world."
Biden may be right that history will judge his overall decision as prudent. But even some of his fellow Democrats have been highly critical of the operation. Some Democrats see a tragic failure to plan for the aftermath.
Before Biden spoke, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., said he would demand to know "why we weren't better prepared for a worst-case scenario involving such a swift and total collapse of the Afghan government and security forces."
Democratic strategist Chris Kofinis, who visited Afghanistan as a Senate aide in 2011, said Biden should clean house.
"President Biden's team failed him across the board," Kofinis said. "Not only should his national security adviser and his secretary of state be fired immediately, but anyone who let this national disgrace happen should be fired. ... Biden either makes immediate changes or he may not have much of a presidency left after this."
White House officials, aware of frustration among Democrats, circulated talking points to members of Congress before Biden's speech. Lawmakers, who will face voters before the next presidential election, keep a close eye on polls. And there are some indications that once-overwhelming support for a withdrawal among the public has dissipated.
A Politico/Morning Consult poll conducted Friday through Monday found that backing for a withdrawal had fallen from 69 percent to 49 percent among registered voters since April, with only 25 percent saying the removal of U.S. forces is going well.
Even as he said he took responsibility for the decision, Biden blamed the outcome of the Taliban takeover on political leaders in Afghanistan and its military.
"Afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves," he said, arguing that the U.S. shouldn't sacrifice any more lives in their defense.
Such an America-first approach has proved popular with voters in recent elections, but Biden's execution of the withdrawal has left him open to criticism of the competence he campaigned on. And not just from the usual suspects.
But a year from now the images will fade away.
Both look at Biden's blunder only in terms of 2022 election.
James and Roger are heartless hacks.
Washington Post publisher Fred Ryan pleaded with the Biden administration Monday to help evacuate journalists and their families from Afghanistan as the Taliban took control of the capital, Kabul.
Ryan emailed national security adviser Jake Sullivan with the subject line "Urgent re safety of US Journalists."
"Jake, Urgent request on behalf of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post is to have our 204 journalists, support staff and families transported by US Military from the civilian side of the Kabul airport to the military side of the airport where they can be safe as they await evacuation flights," Ryan said in the email seen by NBC News.
Journalists at the three papers are "currently in danger" and "need the US government to get them to safety," he said. "Please advise as to how best to proceed."

Sorry Roger...
When it comes to executing gays, selling women off to sex slavery, and cutting the hands off of criminals... you are defending it if you defend policy that allow for it.
You cannot have it both ways.
You obviously believed Slow Jow when he demanded that the Taliban would not take over the entire country. He said that the Taliban taking over Kabul would never happen. It's one thing when there are people (even women) who go along with Islamic rule. It's one thing when there are places to flee to. Safe harbors so to speak. But that doesn't exist anymore.
Because you believe everything Slow Joe tells you.
You and the Reverend are part of the handful of holdouts who will never admit that Biden and his administration ever fucked up about anything. You will always defend it because you have no other thought process.
Taliban does promise that Islamic rule will be implemented gradually. For now, only forced marriage and sex slavery. They will wait to implement public floggings and summary execution of gays at a later time.
I'm sure that's a timeline our woke left here in the US can support.
Their response to the first couple of gays getting tossed off of tall buildings will probably require several reviews by the NYT/AP style guide though.
The messaging will "evolve."
Maybe the gay kid with the pointy fingernails can be the spokesman for it. I heard that Jen Psucky chose him/her/it personally, so there's that.

Heckuva job, 0linsky -
When President Barack Obama released five Taliban commanders from the Guantanamo Bay prison in exchange for an American deserter in 2014, he assured a wary public that the dangerous enemy combatants would be transferred to Qatar and kept from causing any trouble in Afghanistan.
In fact, they were left free to engineer Sunday’s sacking of Kabul.
Soon after gaining their freedom, some of the notorious Taliban Five pledged to return to fight Americans in Afghanistan and made contacts with active Taliban militants there. But the Obama-Biden administration turned a blind eye to the disturbing intelligence reports, and it wasn’t long before the freed detainees used Qatar as a base to form a regime in exile.

We traded these scumbags for a fucking traitor.
Brilliant.
Scott you are ignoring one fact.
No matter how much longer that we had stayed, it wouldn't have stopped the Taliban militants from taking power again and again and.
Look at the historical context.
They have been fighting that war since Islam began.
It's not political, it's a religious war.
He hasn't fucked up everything!

I get it, says Ch.
What I get is that the Taliban are at least PROMISING that they are revising their treatment of women to be more inclusive. Whether that promise can be trusted or not, how much or how little, we shall see.
The Taliban are trying to present themselves as liberators from an oppressive regime who are offering amnesty to their former opponents.
I do not trust that, but wish it could be so.
Time will tell. Tragically, or otherwise.

Is that what you call demanding that all single women and widows over 15 and under 40 marry a Taliban soldier? A promise to revise their treatment of women?
Good grief!
It’s the Taliban’s Military Now
August 17, 2021 at 8:40 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 163 Comments
Associated Press:
“Built and trained at a two-decade cost of $83 billion, Afghan security forces collapsed so quickly and completely — in some cases without a shot fired — that the ultimate beneficiary of the American investment turned out to be the Taliban. They grabbed not only political power but also U.S.-supplied firepower — guns, ammunition, helicopters and more.”
_________
That's how quickly the Afghan security forces -collapsed and surrendered.
We are here talking about the "security forces" that Trump had four years to build into a genuine ally and genuine fighting force before, as he proclaimed, he would withdraw even sooner than Biden did.
Suddenly it would seem that many liberals are now trusting and friendly to the Taliban. Apparently they must not be that bad anymore. Politics certainly does make strange bedfellows.
Glad I can still be openly critical of Islamic law and groups like the Taliban who want to spread it. It seems that liberals and Democrats have less problem with Islamic law, sexual slavery, and summary execution of gays, than they do with Christianity being peacefully practiced in the United States.
Sorry Reverend...
This isn't about Trump.
Not even your left wing media is buying that load of crap. Perhaps the truly far gone (like your hero Goddard) are still sucking Biden's nutsack on this. But even the liberal media is being honest about this one.
I wonder if you can ever be?
I do not trust the Taliban, but observers on the ground are saying that thus far they are behaving in a suprisingly friendly manner.
Again, I do not trust them.
There have been atrocities and there will probably be more.
Ch, as I have pointed out, Taegan Goddard presents articles that reflect many viewpoints, incuding those critical of Biden -- unlike the rabbidly rightwing anti democratic propaganda you constantly spew out.
Since the Reverend continues to lie about Trump.
Let's read what Trump actually has stated!
Can anyone even imagine taking out our Military before evacuating civilians and others who have been good to our Country and who should be allowed to seek refuge? In addition, these people left topflight and highly sophisticated equipment. Who can believe such incompetence? Under my Administration, all civilians and equipment would have been removed.
Now obviously not "all" civilians that didn't want to live under Taliban rule could have been evacuated. But there were many who were directly involved in Afghan government that could have and should have been evacuated. But we also had other options available to us that had been part of the original plan. We had the ability to continue to provide air cover and such for the Afghan forces (which at one time had been promised). We obviously could have secured our own equipment. We had even talked about still leaving some limited force behind for tactical reasons.
Instead we ran like rats fleeing a sinking ship. There was no actual rush or hurry here? Why the impulsive move to get it all done yesterday?

The Delta variant of the Covid-19 virus appears to be breaking through the protection vaccines provide at a higher rate than previous strains, a Wall Street Journal analysis found, though infections among the fully inoculated remain a tiny fraction of overall cases, and symptoms tend to be milder.
U.S. states counted at least 193,204 so-called breakthrough cases among vaccinated people between Jan. 1 and early August, according to data that health departments in 44 states and Washington, D.C., provided to the Journal. The figure represents 0.1% of the more than 136 million fully vaccinated people in those states and the capital.
The total number of breakthrough cases is likely higher, public-health experts said, because fully vaccinated people with asymptomatic infections likely aren’t getting tested for Covid-19. Additionally, several states said the data were unavailable, while others track only breakthrough cases that result in hospitalizations or death.
Only a dishonest hack thinks Goddard presents a balanced viewpoint.
Or that his blog posts fit in every thread
even the same one in multiple threads
Trump had out troops down to 2,500 along with 5,000 NATO troops and had a stable environment with milestones when Biden took over.
Biden delayed the withdrawal, set no new milestones and let the Taliban (probably with help from China) plan and prepare for when the US left to do a coordinated takeover.
I bet even the Taliban were surprised when the US military left leaving behind women and children along with thousands more
A complete and utter failure of leadership
as Biden has consistently showed.
but Afghanistan may be in better condition than our southern border.
So Roger...
The Trump Warp Speed vaccines are working?
Is that what you are saying?

JAMES SAYS:
Thay is the same Trump who earlier was praising Biden for withdrawing but criticizing him for not doing it far sooner.
Trump had four years to shape up the Afghan security forces for the eventual extraction of our troops which he too advocated.
Biden had only six months to reverse twenty years of ineptitude on that front. An impossible task, as it has turned out.
That is the same

And what I just said is not "lying about Trump."
I repeat:

Biden had only six months to reverse twenty years of ineptitude on that front. An impossible task, as it has turned out.
Slow Joe had 8 fucking years as 0linsky's impeachment insurance. He knew EXACTLY what the fuck was going on in Shithole-istan.
That 'only 6 months' bullshit is just that - BULLSHIT.
Biden had only six months to reverse twenty years of ineptitude on that front. An impossible task, as it has turned out.
Nope... Biden had all the time in the world to "get it right". We had been there for 20 years, we had zero casualties since March of 2020 in Afghanistan and less than 100 since 2014. We have more casualties in some American military bases than that.
There was actually zero reason for this to be done without even feigning that they were thinking it through.
There is no reason you can provide that Biden was under some timeline to make sure everyone was out before evacuations, or gathering of intelligence and equipment.
Let's be clear. Biden has reversed every single Trump decision (generally to negative consequences) so it would have been par for the course to ignore whatever Trump had negotiated or agreed upon in Afghanistan. Even a Sept 11th timeline was artificial.
Here is where the Reverend will post some Covid numbers from a Democratic state run by a Democratic Governor, all under a Democratic President...
and pretend that it somehow the fault of the GOP.
Even a Sept 11th timeline was artificial.
And all done purely for political optics.
If anything, since the original 9/11 the American left has given our enemies the inspiration to attack us on the anniversary.
Imbeciles.

Yep, he was looking for a 9-11 victory lap .
