Biden says Afghanistan evacuation deadline may go past August 31President Biden said Sunday that the U.S. was considering extending evacuation efforts beyond his August 31 deadline to leave Afghanistan as evacuations in Kabul continue. The Morning Joe panel discusses. Many Americans made the FATAL mistake of NOT registering with the US Embassy in Afghanistan when they first moved there. Thus, how many American's do we know that the Taliban is SECRETLY holding hostage to use as negotiation-ponds to hold back the US from bombing that area later? LA, Chicago, Indy, Houston, NYC, etc., are facing a flood of gun crimes which are tied to the economic siege of racism against African Americans. Democrats default to 'guns,' purposely ignoring this economic catastrophe. I think this is wise given reports countries can't meet the deadline.

The peace agreement was signed 18 months ago. There's no excuse for this. The end of all occupation and colonization Even Dunkirk was held militarily till evacuation was over. The British didn't have to plead with the Nazis to spare them. Sheer craven cowardice by Biden. An analysis from the author of ‘Operation al-Nagrib’, a gripping spy thriller. Order your copy from:

Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden: How four presidents created today's Afghanistan messHow America spent 20 years in Afghanistan, only to have the Taliban resume control again as its troops withdrew, will be a topic for historians to ponder for decades. Here's how four presidents have approached what became America's longest war. How about the part where they built a 300,000 troop military who quit... Because none of them addressed the religious and cultural issue in the region. And no matter how much money you spend or how much 'democracy' you brought to them, they still live in the 632AD after the death of the Prophet. Not really. Historians, political scientists, and basically all types of scholars of the region criticized the Afghan operation as doomed to fail once it became clear the Bush administration was just using it as a pretext to invade Iraq. This one is pretty cut and dry.
