The White House repeatedly refused to address the Taliban's August 31 deadline to get US troops out of Afghanistan on Monday, dodging questions on the subject and snapping at reporters who asked how the government planned to save the remaining Americans stuck in Kabul. The Taliban's spokesman issued the sternest threat yet to Biden on Monday morning, saying there will be 'consequences' if US troops - who are holed up at the airport in Kabul evacuating tens of thousands of people and fending off an increasingly desperate crowd - don't leave in the next eight days. Biden and his administration have no idea how many Americans remain trapped in Afghanistan,
If any Americans remaining after the deadline are killed by the Taliban, Isis, or Al Quida, who is ultimately responsible for the murder?

My, my, Jen. Sure is a lot of snapping going on. A little too much work pressure right now? Why might that be, honey? How was your vacation from the Afghanistan disaster last week?

Just read the Taliba$tards just murdered an Afghan Comedian. With that track record, every single Xiden appointee will be next, only they ain't funny.

How about one of these, Jen! Discarded, ditched, dumped, flung, jettisoned, junked, scrapped, shed, shucked (off), threw away, gave up, handed over, relinquished, surrendered, retreated (from), vacated, abjured, disowned, abandoned, deserted, forsook, left, renounced, repudiated,
sacrificed.

And how many times have you seen me ask this question on this forum - - - -
If you don't know how many Americans are there - - then how will you know when they've all been extracted?
Gee - - I wish one of these "journalists" would ask that question.

Hey Jen, let’s try an experiment. You fly to Afganistan and get dropped off 5 miles from the Kabul airport and see how you make out getting back. If it’s all wonderful as you say, then you should have no problem.

#1 - Trump, of course. He set in motion a chain of events that the succeeding Chief Statesman and Commander in Chief was absolutely powerless to reverse. /s
#5 asks a great question. Beyond knowing how many, though - where are they? 4.5 million people just in the city of Kabul, let alone the remaining provinces. Fox folks keep suggesting sending the troops out to secure safe routes for Americans to traverse to the airport. Really? As someone pointed out, there are no good options left.

By giving the Taliban the August 31 date in the first place, Biden was setting up the US troops on Kabul Airport for big trouble, as he told the Taliban and others exactly when they could claim that Biden broke his agreement with them by not leaving before or on that date, resulting in the Taliban and others firing artillery and tactical rockets into the airport from the heavily populated urban areas within range of the airport.
