they saw it coming. and now they re crying for help. so the best case, would be that there is a real airlift. not for the general population, but for more of the people, that could get to kabul, and had connections to the u.s.. four for the general population, i think it s back to the middle ages. the taliban is much better, than it had been 20 years ago, at public relations. and they ve gotten social media on their side. propaganda. beyond with they could have ever done. so they have a certain interest and not having a bloodbath in kabul. they don t want to inherit what we saw in the nineties, would peter saw when he first went in, when he was the first in after 9/11. i was there in 98, and saw the rubble from russia, from that war. they don t want to inherit that kind of city. they would love to benefit from the improvements, but not for half the population. i want to say one other quick thing, that general mccaffrey may or may not disagree. with he is the expert.
