Stick with the of kabul is imminent. Speak of imminent fall of kabul. The fall of kabul. The taliban has entered the city. The fall of kabul as the taliban completes its takeover of afghanistan. Broadcasting live from inside the president ial palace. Greg i blame those pesky whites and pharmacists. You would figure we would have a plan for this but this is the most botched pullout since hunter knocked out that stripper. 20 years, doing 2 and no plan. Or maybe we had a plan but joe left it at the mens room. This crowd is quiet. Oh, now you are laughing. Wake up, people. I know its monday but [bleep] if we knew this would happen the moment we left, what gives. Im not here to see i told you so because i never did. I was like most Everyone Else, spending the last decade forgetting afghanistan existed and watching the bachelor which is either a testament to the effect of effectiveness out of our military are my very short attention span.
