"There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. "The war we fight is not against powers and principalities; it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain." - JMS

Biden/Harris Afghan Hostage Crisis Day 10
On the ground, it appears the Taliban and ISIS have a command of all the territory surrounding the 'military side' of Kabul Airport.
There is by now likely substantial light AAA and mortars sufficient to stop many aircraft from getting airborne - or, at least successfully getting away from the airport area.
And the likelihood of another suicide attack - or many - is very high.
Into this disaster by design a number of very brave folks on the ground in Kabul, and talented and dedicated folks across the world, have managed an incredible effort to get the people our execrable President (*) promised to save actually to safety.

God Bless our troops and the American and allied irregulars, on the Ground in Kabul and at the laptops and terminals around the world, who are doing Gods work.
On a sadly humorous note, the deep state brass is scrambling to cover their, and OBidens ass. This note from the Director of Naval Intelligences office showing how desperate they've become ...
Not intimidating at all really, deep State compromised any such case in the coup against President (no asterisk) Trump.

Biden/Harris Afghan Hostage Crisis Day 9
Hopeful evacuees cued up at Kabul Airport gates with no credible alternatives and well aware of the, all too clear, terror threat.
One, two, how many deserving Afghan allies and their families wheels up and out of danger for a new life?
How long before the next, inevitable, awful carnage - brought to the internet and airwaves by the seventh century death cult called Islam?
Elections have consequences - especially when stolen.

Fair warning
Lefty MSM stories on moslem terror in the US emphasize that moslem immigrants are not a ,,, ahhh major source of the terror.
“Foreign-born terrorism is a hazard,” Nowrasteh argues, “but it is manageable given the huge economic benefits of immigration and the small costs of terrorism.”
Small cost (presumably number of Americans killed and maimed) huge benefits ... (unquantified).
https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2017/01/trump-immigration-ban-terrorism/514361/
(Six Iranians, six Sudanese, two Somalis, two Iraqis, and one Yemeni have been convicted of attempting or executing terrorist attacks on U.S. soil during that time period, according to Nowrasteh’s research.)
Simultaneously, conservative journals report a different view ,,,,
"Muslims make up only about 2% of the population of America. If they are killing half the victims of terrorism, that means that a Muslim perpetrator is 25 times more likely to kill someone in a terrorist attack than a non-Muslim."
Hows that work?
It's not the immigrant necessarily - but his son, if raised moslem, is highly suspect.
"MI5, whose behavioural science unit performed in-depth case studies on “several hundred individuals known to be involved in, or closely associated with, violent extremist activity,” including jihadist fundraisers and would-be suicide bombers. The conclusion is that Muslim terrorists in the West “are a diverse collection of individuals, fitting no single demographic profile, nor do they all follow a typical pathway to violent extremism.” As in other countries, they tend to be either converts or second-generation, native-born children of legal immigrants."

If we are to admit thousands of moslem immigrants from a country that so strongly supports the more severe theocratical approach to the seventh century death cult known as islam, we might well pursue their proper acculturation into our democratic republic.
Biden/Harris Afghan Hostage Crisis Day 8
As for the day, God help the families of our fallen...
No one is this consistently wrong innocently. Abandon Bagram, accept a stupid deadline, give details on US citizens at risk to Taliban.
"One is an event. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action."
As for Austin and Milley, they are the unfortunate product of a Deep State (dot mil division) long drunk on participating in partisan politics and advancing the exactly WRONG guys.
Worried if their politics may effect our real military competence? Meh, not so much.

Biden/Harris Afghan Hostage Crisis day 7
Scene on ground from Vlad TV.
According to folks working to ID and assist Afghan's who deserve our help to get onto airport things are worse now than before Biden's announcement he will bow to Taliban dictated 31 Aug deadline.
One item to notice - - - Taliban carrying rifles with finger straight along and above trigger guard were obviously US trained. The Afghan Army didn't 'disappear', they just changed jerseys.
Too bad they missed their gender microaggression training.
