Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chief’s Chairman Mark Milley held a Pentagon press briefing today about the unfolding crisis in Afghanistan. [Full Presser Here] As the Taliban has taken full control over the country and capital, the U.S. presence in Kabul has been reduced to securing the airport as a temporary fortress, and telling U.S. citizens to try and get there.
When asked about the Taliban surrounding the airport, constructing checkpoints and the inability of Americans to reach safety for evacuation, Defense Secretary Austin said the military “don’t have the capability to…extend operations.” The follow-up question was then about the U.S. essentially having to negotiate safe-passage with the Taliban… and rather than say, “Yes, that is accurate“, the question left Secretary Austin speechless. WATCH:
.
Ooof… THAT, my friends, is exactly what FUBAR looks like!
Court martial time!
The military mission is to fly people from the airport. The Taliban is not interfering with the military mission.
The military mission cannot be extended but Taiwan thinks we haver their back!
We don’t. Cause that would be a real war.
Sure they do.
Phone lines from Taiwan’s Pentagon to Japan’s Pentagon are burning up.
I’d say AnZac too, but they’ve gone all VidZombie Apocalypse.
More like State Department cleanout time which dumped this on them with no evacuation plan by abolishing the Crisis and Contingency Response Bureau:
Biden State Dept Moved to Abolish Crisis Response Bureau Months Before Taliban Takeover of Afghanistan
August 18, 2021
https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/biden-state-dept-moved-to-abolish-crisis-response-bureau-months-before-taliban-takeover-of-afghanistan/
The Biden State Department moved in June to cancel a program overseeing the protection and evacuation of American citizens stationed overseas in the case of an emergency, just as the Taliban was taking over Afghanistan, according to an internal State Department memo obtained by the Washington Free Beacon and multiple sources familiar with the matter.
The Biden State Department moved to dissolve the Trump-era crisis response program, according to an internal State Department memo and sources familiar with the matter. That memo, which was marked sensitive but unclassified and was signed by Deputy Secretary Brian McKeon, approved the “discontinuation of the establishment, and termination of, the Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau (CCR),” a new State Department entity created during the Trump administration to coordinate emergency response services overseas.
Internal memo says Biden officials canceled Trump-era emergency operations bureau
Yea…..that too!!! For sure!
Sure,
Who’s gonna do it, Raytheon’s Board of Directors?
Not a popular question. It forces thinking ?
US!!! We the people! Bound to be some patriots out there somewhere. God help us!
“Uh, Jen . . . . . . (Silence).”
He looked like his boss staring off into space, struggling for an answer.
The thought that our national defense is in the hands of these two buffoons is scary.
I think they made a movie about this called “A Biden too Far”.
It’s the face of someone realizing they have been duped by China, and that they are the useful idiots
You give them too much credit.
What is more frightening is who is really in charge of our “national defense”
China via Mz Valerie Jarrett the Persian Princess and Emperor BO
I think it goes higher
We currently have none
Frightening
Oh…….my…………G.
Marxist diversity in real time.
But DIVERSITY is our STRENGTH!/s.
Diversity = Division = Death
There’s no diversity. You won’t find a single Conservative MAGA patriot amongst them.
Diversity = national suicide.
Schmucks !
Never forget Benghazi.
~>Never.
This may well make Benghazi look like a child’s tea party.
Hillery will be proud.
Does her speaking with Trudeau violate The Logan Act? Yeah, I know, who’s going to enforce that…
AT THIS POINT WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE.
And in a few months we’ll hear the famous, “what difference, at this point, does it make”.
Heck, Cuomo even used something very similar for his deaths in nursing homes comments about COVID.
Dems are heartless, soulless jerks. (self-editing what I’m screaming inside)
… well… after Bengazi, I know what to expect from Dems… it’s just that now, it’s into the thousands… but hey! … at this point, what difference does it make?!
These 2 clowns are inviting hostility, potential adversaries must see their ineptness. I think it is worse, they just are not playing for the Untied States of America.
Correct. Walking and talking is into a decade or generation of vulnerability-induced threats.
So this is what a stunning and brave SecDef looks like.
Woke is Weak.
This is what affirmative action looks like.
Is this our Dunkirk? Do we as Americans organize and get on planes and rescue our fellow Americans and others?
Is there even a way?
Where there is a will, there is a way. So….is there a ‘will’?
I hope our military remembers how much the average Patriotic American supported the “no one left behind” doctrine.
It is time for turn around if at all possible.
Trump is the only way.
NO ONE else has the stature, credibility, and wisdom to do what needs done.
Yep, if PDJT replaced Old Joe tomorrow, the situation would be resolved by middle of next week.
Only after President Trump is able to fire and replace every top brass a-hole who tests positive for wokeness.
Horrifying to imagine. God be with them. Biden won’t be.
Paging Jeff Bezos.
How about using your air fleet?
I’ve wondered whether Pelosi and Shumer could force the admin to put a general in charge of the evac who can get the job done. They have to know that a disaster now will hurt them in the 2022 election.
Do we have one, please raise your hand
What must be remembered is that the thousands of Americans abandoned behind taliban lines are listening/watching on their cell phones or getting reports from their families. of what these buffoons are saying
The biden rant about masks was deliberate. To what end I have no idea. His arrogance is unbelievable.
The answer is….to make his removal easier.
He has dementia. You expecting someone who rational?
Asking for a friend.
how are they even able to know wth is going on . . . if their phones even work
This SecDef is what happens when “affirmative action” is deemed more important than an actual good record.
The “most diverse” group of government officials in history brought this military disaster.
Diversity-Inclusion-Equity = D.I.E.
Pathetic. Go home, all of you. You’re in way over your head.
God help us all.
Since when do Aristocraps go home at the request of the peasantry?
You want an Aristo gone the first step is a bonfire.
Weak Ass Fool.
All of them.
This is what completely-over-your-head incompetence looks like.
to the thousands of abandoned Americans and their families:
Pressed on whether the U.S.’s exit from Afghanistan could have been handled better, Pres. Biden tells @GStephanopoulos, “The idea that somehow, there’s a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing—I don’t know how that happens.”
https://abcn.ws/3gdCgXh
https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/bidens-state-dept-halted-trump-era-crisis-response-plan/
FTA “The “Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau” – which was designed to handle medical, diplomatic, and logistical support concerning Americans overseas was paused by Anthony Blinken’s State Department earlier this year. Notification was officially signed just months before the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan.
“SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED,” an official State Department document from the Biden State Department begins, before outlining the following move the quash the Trump-era funding for the new bureau.
The document is from the desk of Deputy Secretary of State Brian P. McKeon, confirmed in March by the United States Senate.
The document reveals the recommendations were approved on June 11th 2021. ”
This is how it happened George! Anyone here surprised?? Someone tell ChiCom Joe obviously he doesn’t know!
Woah!
This is what that Intel dude was talking about, when he called into Bongino’s radio show yesterday. Someone posted Bongino’s tweet this morning with the caller.
Thanks for posting.
Tweeter has a lot of good clips.
Biden Should have listened to Trump.
“I don’t know how that happens.”
WE KNOW JOE!
Nixon had the gravitas to resign, and for a far less compelling reason.
FUBAR is being kind.
We have gone from being a super power to being incompetent sitting ducks in a very short time.
Kabul may end up as when Spock said 400 Vulcans on the Intrepid were killed. Kirk and McCoy ask how he can possibly know this. To paraphrase Spock, , “I just know it; as though thousandss of voices cried out, and were suddenly silenced.”
Dear Sundance,
You say that “Ooof… THAT, my friends, is exactly what FUBAR looks like!”
It is more than that. It is an ÜberFUBAR . . .
Resign or be court martialed.
resign AND be court martialed
This is how small, weak countries navigate these international crises.
The Presidential candidate who advocated for huge cuts to defence spending, and shifting that money to the welfare state would receive huge support. And no such person will emerge. Supporters of AOC are not capable of grasping this.
Americans in general would be hugely in favor of abandoning the policeman for the world role. Run that canard past Liz Cheney.
Globalism is the elephant in the room. Globalism is the enormous trope that world standards of decency and justice can be the same. Countries, states, counties, districts exist for a reason. We are not all the same, and we long to be left in peace.
Yep, global corporations purchasing congress and controlling election machines/software/clouds etc… is how we end up with fools like this…
Get your booster shot, as our drones and missles gets reverse engineered by China and Russia via Taliban delivery.
9/11 is going to be a nightmare.
They’ll pick another day, because no one will be expecting that.
but … I thought ‘diversity is our strength’. Certainly we’re more diverse than the Taliban.
Wow, just….wow
Biden looks at time differently than most normal people
Near?
I am beginning to think that Biden is a person with zero empathy for others and a brain that doesn’t think logically (psychopath). His targeting and behavior around children is consistent with that as well.
Add pathological liar, plagiarist and grifter and we’ve nailed down some attributes.
Some of us are way beyond beginning.
The Democrat party could improve themselves if they started thinking like a “MEGA Mom”.
Biden and his son, Hunter, both have none moral standards.
They are into every know deviant sexual behavior.
And not only them nearly all who are associated with the Biden family, Clinton’s and the Obama’s, they’re all wicked as the day is long.
Anyone paying even slightest attention should be able to detect their deviant mannerisms.
Also, the sociopaths he’s raised as his sons, offer proof galore of his problem.
If the airport was surrounded by non-vaccinated , Trump supporting, 2A amendment loving , belief in equality and freedom for all citizens type of Americans, there wouldn’t be any issue. It would be bombs away! Those are the terrorists in his eyes. He is too busy looking to destroy them then to deal with this.
That begs the question. If they can not get Americans to the airport, who exactly is being allowed access and boarding our planes.
Anyone know who these thousands of Americans are?
Mark Geist was just on Newsmax. He said many of them are contractors, like the people who were abandoned at Benghazi.
Thank you
You need 10 bucks to get out of Canada
Obama’s friends are let through.
All the Anti-American, Christian haters probably allowing on board with their personal hatchets and swords.
I hope the rank and file in the military are paying attention. These idiots don’t care about them!
Military vaccination mandate was prior to this event ( that could wake some up to resisting)
Syria didn’t fall the first time Obama armed Isis. Let’s see is Round 2 ( hand delivering a military base and equipment to the Taliban) works for that EU pipeline.
Massive mutiny – how are the likes of Austin, Milley and others not amillion times worse than a Captain Bligh?
NO breadfruit
Someone tell the guy he’s surrounded by Jan 6 insurrectionists. He’d be carpet bombing H bombs.
How many BLM events has Lloyd attended ?
He has taken the degradation directions of America from someone other the Osama.
Incompetent one and two, have no plan, no options, nothing. Might as well not have either one of them in leadership positions. Both are better suited, to pouring refreshments to the fake journalists.
WTF! If you can’t do the job, get out of the way!!!
https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/bidens-state-dept-halted-trump-era-crisis-response-plan/
Incompetence or something else?
Hate for Trump.
This is something I mentioned yesterday. We wouldn’t have known everyone was home until the last person was back home
Treason
PJT : My Administration prioritized keeping Americans safe, Biden leaves them behind. Canceling this successful Trump Administration program before the withdrawal that would have helped tens of thousands Americans reach home is beyond disgraceful. Our withdrawal was conditions-based and perfect, it would have been flawlessly executed and nobody would have even known we left. The Biden execution and withdrawal is perhaps the greatest embarrassment to our Country in History, both as a military and humanitarian operation.”
Just remember, America is back. /s
Worse than Obama, still using worthless platitudes.
Can someone explain how this has build back better? Btw, that’s a rhetorical question to illustrate my point.
Hey..maybe we could exchange safe passage for some of the hum vees, Blackhawks and ar15s we have over there…DOH. Taliban already took them. The puppet and his crew are traitors or just really really stupid
A plague on all your family congressman
To be fair, you have to have a tremendous amount of faith in a criminally elected administration to be anywhere near Afghanistan of your own accord at this point. It is kind of on them, as sad as that is to say.
Do you remember Pannetta making the excuse “We don’t send our Troops into Unknown Situations” when asked why we didn’t send support to Benghazi? I was appalled that he was ignorant of the Mission of our Military. Democrats F-UP the Military everytime they’re in Control. Nothing Changes.
I think the time has come to ask the French to help us get our people out.
Yes, THE FRENCH.
Because there is no way the US Federal Gov under the American Fascists can do better than the French.
What we need here, is for all of these fools to resign.
Wait. I thought two days ago we were told that the US military had prepared for every contingency. Isn’t evacuation of U.S. personnel and citizens a contingency that should have been considered? How can any you. S. Citizen have any faith that the US military can protect and defend this once great country?
More outrageous treasonous lies
…..sounded good at the time
Extreme cold anger
After experiencing the humiliation of Jimmy Carter’s Desert One debacle where he personally injected himself into the tactical decision making loop, I don’t feel personally embarrassed by this latest disaster. My main reaction is disgust towards the senior military establishment both civilian and uniformed in relapsing back into the mode of mindless stooges of Deep State. Worse still, the military personnel bureaucracy is most likely as badly corrupted by Woke social justice warriors as any fortune 500 corporation so the rot extends all the way down to junior officers.
That’s what really scares the White House – the sight of some ghoulish imam holding up the charred foot of an American special forces again. IIRC, the Red Cross eventually managed to get the remains returned.
BHO “cleansed” the upper ranks during his regime.
The guy is like some of the woke Olympic athletes, he comes in 8th and takes a knee.
Exactly. Quitting is the new winning
These are the imbeciles that undermined PT every step of the way! ?
Treepers can make lists too
The entire list of treasonous fascists
This guy is a woke disgrace. He needs to be court-marshaled ASAP.

STUNNING: Woke General Milley Claims Taliban Is Not Interfering at Kabul Airport as White House Lashes Out at Taliban for Interfering at Airport
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/08/stunning-woke-general-milley-claims-taliban-not-interfering-kabul-airport-white-house-lashes-taliban-interfering-airport/?utm_source=Gab&utm_campaign=websitesharingbuttons
Intentional FUBAR. All is going according to Obama’s plan to completely transform America.
Our military is now a joke.
Increase capacity, maybe? Send in the Marines, the special forces? According to a RedState post, the British Paras (special forces) are leaving their base at Kabul airport and going around the city to pick up Brits, Irish, and any foreign national they encounter, and taking them back to the airport. The Taliban have not stopped them (yet). The US troops might like to do the same, but Central Command will not let them leave the airport.
Both of these Washington Generals are out of uniform. They don’t have their clown noses on.
We basically have no government.
Great!
That is great,now we can form a new one.
How in the hell did people like this ever rise to command the greatest military in the world?
Obama did it.
Precisely.
No different than any other profession…kissing arse, doing the dirty work for the boss, and ratting out or framing good guys.
Affirmative Action.
They swore to destroy the greatest military in the world.
Idi Amin (DOD Sec Austin) has a great white shirt, neat knot for tie, black custom suit, great haircut, smart glasses, wonderful American flag pin. Damn guy dresses well!
Oops, I think his shoes are covered with doo doo…
I was listening to the Buck Sexton/Clay Travis show on my car radio earlier today and they had a Navy Seal on and he said we had the capability to go in and save all the Americans…he said you send in the Marines and they will kill anyone who who stands in their way; that’s what they do and they could do it.
Welcome to the club, Scott.

After watching Milley and Austin this morning I believe NOTHING this government tells me.
No way all this take down of the USA hasn’t been deliberate.
These people are not on our side.
Each one is a committed Marxist posing as loyal American.
It’s the job of the Pentagon under Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and “Thoroughly Marxist Milley” to MAKE SURE w e have the assets in place to get the job done and they F’d up.
What’s even more disturbing, is that one is an active duty general, the other a retired general. How did either attain the rank. To say they are incompetent, would be an understatement. They are frauds as well. I’ve known sergeants that would embarrass these two imbeciles.
I’ve known sergeants that would embarrass these two
The difference is the sergeants were on America’s side.
