Don't know your fact checker lady, Sherman..

But I get your message. Seems a question of proper priorities. Biden moved the US armed troops out from a bunch of military bases, a couple dozen throughout Afghanistan. He left behind the unarmed US civilians, and the western-friendly Afghanie folks like interpretors, etc. Then acts surprised those unarmed US & Afganies are being hunted down, with door to door searches, likely ending in executions. Obviously flawed planning and he deserves blame. Blood on his hands. With the armed troops gone, civilians are left undefended. Atrocious error in thinking & planning

Now he's offering to fly US citizens home, but they can't get to the airport, without risk of being executed by the Taliban. And with 6,000 troops going back , there's been no mention of any plans for assisting those Americans safe passage home.

Safety of Afghan women can wait until those more immediate threats are resolved. Or rely on local Afghan armed forces & police.

Recall two Wizard of OZ messages-- if [Joe] only had a brain -- if [Joe] only had a heart.

Sources I mentioned here, in earlier messages, had sent Biden better plans, but now we're hearing how such measures were ignored. Results were dire effects & deadly consequences, apparent to all. Casualties from their poor planning.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:
Thank you. What we need in spades these days: Opinions are just that and should never be interpreted as personal affronts.

Did you see the female DOS flack-catcher (Sherman) today? She was out there for about 30 minutes; twenty-five were spent bemoaning the situation Afghan women and girls find themselves in (anyway it seemed that long).

It was a remarkable performance. The feckless and incompetent morons at State should take a hint from Defense: They are "laser-focused' on the 'mission' of securing the airport. (sarc)

Sherman's 'mission' should be 'laser-focused' on delivering our people from Hell on Earth. The treatment of Afghan women and girls is an issue the planet's governments should address; not ours alone. This is what Harris had to say on the issue, paraphrasing of course, " ."

In closing, eventually the MSM will catch up to the story of all the world leaders being deluged with inquiries from citizens demanding the government do something, anything, to get their loved ones out of there. And we wonder why it took him three days to make contact with fellow heads of state?
