president biden announced the 31st of august would withdraw all the military forces. so if they extended, that means they are extending it. it will provoke reaction. joe biden, there are a terrorist organization and you better assume they mean it and it better get as many u.s. troops into the country immediately to escort and evacuate every american and every ally at risk because tonight, there are so many of our own people now trapped in afghanistan right now, a full evacuation by august 31st seems almost impossible, even adam schiff just warned biden that the urgent task at hand seems actually unlikely. look at this. i think it s possible, but very unlikely given the number of americans who still need to be evacuated, the number of others who are members of the afghan press will society leaders, it s hard for me to imagine all that can be accomplished between now and the end of the month. sean: joe biden, you ve been warned by the intel community, people on the ....
