In fact I don't drink much at all.  So far this entire weekend I have consumed exactly 2 beers.  

Scotch is much better in coffee anyway.

Probably, it seems like military equipment only has a five-year life.

It's beginning to look like the drone strike on the alleged suicide bomber near the airport earlier today was on information provided by the Taliban.  It struck an interpreters house and killed almost his entire family.   

Just curious..... 

How did the Taliban know the location of the interpreters house??? 

------> 

 

So going on the talibans word they just had us kill an entire family including 6 kids. Geez.

Drone strike on a suicide bomber.  A SUICIDE bomber...and we are supposed to take anything you say seriously.  I guess the suicide bomber survived the blast...heh?

I'm pretty sure I read earlier that this was a would-be bomber as in this guy allegedly was going to carry out an attack. Maybe that's what was meant by that? I await your response of anger and fury.

I'm sorry, what now?  You can review my posts from the entire night, they're public...can you show me anger and fury?  And I'd also appreciate if you linked what you read.  K, thanks.

Well I'm just talking about your general demeanor toward me. I'm not going to go searching for that. Not trying to prove anything just thought maybe there was a mix up and a possible reason why.

Honestly the comments about a Drone Strike on a Suicide Bomber, were Cookie Monsters crazy comments there is really something wrong with that Bird. A Drone strike on a Suicide Bomber is as crazy as it gets!

After Biden's little "won't forget, won't forgive... " rant, the internet was rife with the "right back at ya... " sentiment.

Is that so surprising?  Would you like a roster of who is manning the gates and a schedule of arriving and departing flights too?  

First we get people out alive, and say only what needs to be said.  In another two weeks we can give it the Benghazi treatment.   Biden is an old guy.  He may be healthy but he can't run fast.  Plenty of time for it to catch up to him after the evacuation is complete.

Tate I agree with you completely and once the end comes and the dust settles old guy or not he must answer for this disaster and honestly at this point I don't think he fit to be our President!

Equipment: 162,043 radios, 16,035 night vision googles.

Other: 176 artillery pieces, unknown millions of rounds of ammunition, unknown number of grenades and mines, unknown number of .50 calibre rifles and ammo, unknown number of rocket launchers and ammo.

Biden has left them with an army. Not that good in the air, but capable on the land. The link also tells us that as reported on New York post, the Taliban have now started using the lists of Americans provided by Biden as kill lists.

A Biden Press Conference.

Journalist: Mr President, how many Americans have been evacuated so far and how many will be left behind after 31st?

Biden: C`mon man, I`m not answering any questions on Afghanistan today.

Journalist: Isn`t it true that 15,000 haven`t been able to get to Kabul airport and have gone into hiding?

Biden: Look, the evacuation is going well, all Americans who want to leave will be able to do so, (Biden starts to get confused), I met with the general earlier and after speaking I can confirm that, as with last month, and then our military, and everything that has happened with my car going on, and then went on, and so I have a meeting with FEMA later.

Journalist: (Looking confused): You are at the FEMA meeting Mr President.

Biden: President? Who is that? Where is FEMA?

Journalist: You`re the president sir. you`re at the FEMA meeting.

Biden: (More incoherent rambling) so I walked out with my chain, and I walked up to my car, remember we used to bang the rusty razer blades on the curb then put them in a rain barrel and get them rusty. This is my daughter by the way and I`m Joes wife.

Hahahaha

It sounds like you are defending it because he’s to old to “run fast”? It’s good to cut your grandpa some slack because he’s slowing down. However, perhaps being to old to keep up is a problem for someone expected to fulfill the duties of the POTUS?

 The U.S. military will continue evacuating people from Kabul airport until an Aug. 31 deadline if needed, but will prioritize the removal of U.S. troops and military equipment on the last couple of days, the Pentagon said on Wednesday.

Huh, why would they do that? It makes so much more $ense to just leave all the equipment?
