The US military is advising President Joe Biden that he must decide by Tuesday whether to extend the evacuation in Afghanistan beyond August 31, according to a defense official directly familiar with the discussions. Military advisers have told the White House that the decision must be made by Tuesday in order to have enough time to withdraw the 5,800 troops currently on the ground, as well as their equipment and weapons. If the President agrees, the military anticipates "a few more days" of trying to evacuate as many people as possible before the drawdown of US forces begins, possibly at

How dare the military make comments like THAT during Matlock. He hasn't decided on sprinkles or not on his ice cream and they want him to make another decision? After he called a lid?

Maybe #BugOutBiden can call #CacklesWithHeelsUp for advice.

Does Joe cower to the Taliban's threats of "actions", complete the US humiliation in Afghanistan, and condemn thousands of allies who assisted us (who were promised protection/evacuation) to death? Or, does he grow a set and challenge the Taliban's threats and do what he should have done from the beginning andstep up rescues of those that he put in peril due to his poor decisions and lack of planning? The buck stops with you Joe. No matter what he chooses, it won't be pretty and he has nobody to blame but himself!

So Milley, now you and Austie are considering a second panic bugout? So far, the images we see show maybe 6 or 7 US soldiers doing crowd control. What are the other 5,793 doing? This decision should be right up biden the cheater's alley to screw up. Make sure you give Cackles the low down before you give it to biden the cheater. Make sure he isn't sundowning when you tell him. Mornings are best after 10am but before the 11am lid.

If he can extend unemployment enhanced benefits AGAIN, you'd think he could handle this decision. Oh, wait. He really isn't making the decisions. Well, who ever is needs to figure out quickly what the hell are they going to do now? Idiots. And if they think we will not remember this they are insane.

So if BiteMe decides to stick w/August 31, can the U.S. military still leave U.S. citizens behind?

The military should just go ahead and do it and tell Xiden what to do with his permission. And while they’re at it, they should destroy all of the equipment we left behind and every single terrorist thug they can set their sights on.

Nothing a little ice cream can’t solve!!
Can’t we just bribe schmoe’s equivalent?
What the hell are they talking about, extending evacuations? If they don’t extend does that mean they just leave the Americans that are there there to find their own way home?
Cmon schmoe decide? Which optics will be best for you?

Well, Lunch Bucket? The military has got to know because it takes time to get everything ready to go. Do you leave as ordered by the Tollybon, or pit the 6000 troops in a shooting war where they start surrounded without air cover?
You are the CinC. Let's hear what you are going to do.
Arsehole.

I have never seen our military leadership in a cut and run behaviour as with the present command structure in the p'gon.- are they trying to decide to save the minority personnel first, in keeping with the current racial etiquette? - Holy Jesus, please save us from these nitwits and traitors.

Looks like the White House staff's going to be up late tonight. Not so the president.

I don't see how we could possibly be out of there in 7 more days. But Old Joe will drag his heels on making a decision. The Tolliebahn will not be amused.
