>>>CNN 1206 EST today There have been at least two explosions near a gate at Kabul's airport that "resulted in a number of US & civilian casualties," the Pentagon says.
>>>UK Defense Ministry says no UK military or government casualties were reported following blasts

>>I would of been nice if they evacuated the people BEFORE withdrawing all the troops - so this was a blunder -- and we seem to have endless blunders. Trump abandoned Syria and evacuated zero of our Kurdish allies and handed over our military bases to Russia. We seem to have poor track record sense hmmmmm WW2?

>The Allies were never in charge of policing in Kabul or the other cities. The Afghan government had that control.

>The prediction from the Pentagon was that the Afghan army would be around for a minimum of a year. No on, on either side of the aisle, said that was B.S., which it turned out to be.

>So what would have been nice, keeping our 2,500 of so troops in Afghanistan, would have made no difference.

I wasn't saying we should stay there -- I was saying that we should of done the evacuations of Americans and refugees and such BEFORE our our troops left instead of what is happening now. Now people can't get the airport because there is no security to get them there -- that is stupid.
