American's Trapped in Afghanistan; if Hostages Taken Will This Have Same Consequence for Biden as it did Carter?

Will media cover a hostage crisis with Biden administration like it did the Carter administration or will they continue to protect Biden as they have since he took office? Will Biden be mentally up to the task? Hostage crisis in 1979-80 pushed Carter to his limits mentally and physically by Carter's own admission. If hostages taken or Americans murdered in cold blood how much of an impact would that have on Biden re-election chances in 2024?

Wow, hoping Americans get killed so you can further your agenda.

Here's the reality. The Taliban are going to let us take out our citizens and even the quislings who supported us for the last 20 years. They'll do so for no other reason that they know it will generate international good will.
 
Having watched the 1985 classic Commando featuring Arnold, I thought it was possible to jump from a jet near take off and walk away. Anyone see the carnage of the idiot Faghanistan savages shows that does not quite work on the tarmac in reality.

They are not in control of hinterlands and nobody is hoping Americans get killed. You socialist only hear what you want to hear and see what you want to see. The Taliban don't give a shit about international good will. They want to be a hermit kingdom for Islamic fundamentalist.

the current admin in the WH should have gotten US citizens out before he pulled the troops out .... please explain the historical evidence that allows the Taliban to be trusted .

With the completion of Port Gwadar Afghanistan finally has access to markets for their natural resources. That's a game changer.

Do you have any idea what I'm talking about?

No one wants to see American civilians killed in this total fuck up of Biden’s making.

There is no reason to believe that the Taliban can be trusted to do what they promised…And Biden can’t be trusted to protect them all until they are safely out.

This blunder is going to hang around Democrat necks for decades.

Afghanistan has the potential to be an economic powerhouse and move rapidly back into modernity.

This isn't 2001. Now there are railroads and Port Gwadar and fledgling mining operations because of the Chinese.

The previous administration drew down from 15,000 troops to 2,500. And even at 15,000, the Afghan government forces were losing ground.

Snip

But the Afghan government and its supporters, including many of the people now seeking to leave, made a passionate case that we should not conduct a mass evacuation lest we trigger a loss of confidence in the government. Now, our signaling support for the government obviously did not save the government, but this was a considered judgment.

Actually, they've been a lot more savvy this time than they were in the 1990's, already making diplomatic overtures to the Arab world, China, India, Russia and Europe.

The fact they have no real interest in holding Americans and a lot of good reasons to just let us leave.

yes, it would have been nice if the War Profiteers like Haliburton and KBR got all their people out instead of trying to pick the last few bits of meat from the bones of the Ghani Regime...
 
Nobody is taking any hostages. The Taliban have won, the last thing they need is an excuse for the Americans to come in and have a last hurrah, or worst yet, stay longer.
That is why everything has progressed, in an orderly, peaceful manner. The Americans were given a date to have their people out, and the Taliban will honor that.
these people disagree with your trust of the Taliban ...

You think the Taliban give two shits about that right now?
And how irresponsible is that to hand over assets to this regime?
all of it should have been destroyed.

Your admiration of the Taliban is noted

How do you destroy amazing natural resources and access to foreign markets?

You're very stupid.
 
The Pentagon estimates there are as many as 10000 Americans still in Afghanistan; in and around Kabul, where the airport is. There have been no Americans kidnapped or killed. They are leaving Afghanistan. Your desire for American blood is noted and rejected.
This is the kind of thinking that got us into this mess. Unrealistic wishful thinking versus reality.

They're probably having trouble getting a Koobeed test for permission go board a plane to the great Satan and there may be a mask shortage
