And you don't seem to understand the Taliban isn't Al Quaida and they aren't ISIS. The Taliban negotiated peace with us during Trump. Of all the hysteria in the media about the Taliban going to kidnap or kill Americans, we've seen nothing but the exact opposite happening. The Taliban has also been providing security around the airport all week and yesterday they were providing food and water to those waiting in line.

Maybe that's why the Taliban have active Twitter and Facebook accounts but anyone right of center is banned.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

I assume Twitter and Facebook is how all of you know to say the exact same things about Biden, Covid, Ivermectin, etc.

Everything you guys post here is a clone of all the conservative memes on every other website. How much censorship do you think there really is of your views?

He is. This was a desperate act by ISIS, which nothing more than a criminal syndicate, to drag the US into conflict with the Taliban. Or, even if the Taliban subbed out the dirty work to ISIS either as a plea deal for their latter’s brothers in prison or for $ it doesn’t change the facts of Alf’s statement.

Incidentally, 11 US servicemen were killed in Afghanistan in 2020 and 60 were killed during Trump's four years in office. I don't remember anyone blaming Trump.

We should thank our intelligence people who provided enough credible evidence to warrant Biden warning all Americans to stay away from the gates. That act alone likely saved American lives.

That is unfortunate. It is Trump's fault. It is all Trump's fault.

Thank you for your question.

I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised to find out what the Taliban has and hasn't done. After days of media scaring everyone back home by saying the Taliban is forbidding Americans to approach the airport, that was contradicted by the fact that virtually all but roughly 500 Americans successfully arrived to the airport and were transported out. I also saw the Taliban leader say I'm an interview that Afghans are free to leave the country if they so choose, but they wished they'd stay to help rebuild the country.
