President Biden announced Tuesday afternoon that he will not extend the August 31 military withdrawal deadline. The news comes after numerous lawmakers such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and world leaders like Boris Johnson urged Biden to extend the deadline as thousands of Americans remain trapped in Afghanistan.
The Hill reports:
Biden will accept a recommendation from Pentagon officials that more time is not necessary to evacuate American citizens and civilians from the country. Multiple news outlets reported, however, that Biden has asked for contingency plans should the situation change and more time is needed.
Biden has previously said U.S. forces would remain in Afghanistan into September if needed to bring all Americans home, but he has expressed optimism an extension would not be necessary.
Biden’s choice to keep the hard deadline also comes after Taliban leaders said there would be “consequences” if Americans remained into September or beyond. (per The Hill)
“It’s a red line. President Biden announced that on 31 August they would withdraw all their military forces. So if they extend it that means they are extending occupation while there is no need for that,” Taliban spokesperson Suhail Shaheen told Sky News in Qatar’s capital of Doha.
“If the U.S. or U.K. were to seek additional time to continue evacuations – the answer is no. Or there would be consequences,” Shaheen added. “It will create mistrust between us. If they are intent on continuing the occupation it will provoke a reaction.”
It’s unclear exactly how many Americans remain trapped in Afghanistan but experts speculate the number ranges between 10,000 to 15,000. However, the number of vulnerable Afghans who are in direct threat of Taliban rule reach far beyond those numbers, nearby countries are bracing themselves for a possible refugee crisis.
The New York Times reports:
The Taliban said on Tuesday that they would block Afghans trying to leave the country from traveling to Kabul’s airport and would reject any plans to extend the deadline for American troops to withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of this month.
Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday, Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, noted that chaos at the airport remained a dangerous problem, and said the way to it was being closed to Afghan citizens to prevent people from joining the crowds.
“The road that ends at the Kabul airport has been blocked. Foreigners can go through it, but Afghans are not allowed to take the road,” Mr. Mujahid said, without clarifying how long that policy would be in effect.
He urged the crowds of Afghans thronging the airport in hopes of leaving the country to instead go home, saying that the Taliban would “guarantee their security,” and noted that there was no list of people targeted for reprisals.
I hope he lied to the Taliban like he lies to the American people.
Dementia talking, he doesn’t know what the hell he is doing. Court martial his crooked ass now, remove that socialist puppet immediately, what the hold up
Unfortunately globalist puppet, chester biden does not need to know what the hell he is doing, globalists and globalist puppet $oro$ are doing all for him .
Hit it smack dab on the head. Soreass Obumturd and down the global left deep state list
and impeach Biden, Harris and every DAMN COMMUNIST DEMO IN DC.
Did you know Pelosi was a member of the communist party.
globalists appointed all the correct criminals to the correct positions to protect all their criminals .
No, he doesn’t lie to people he fears.
He is boarding his planes with 10s thousands of taliban terrorists and transporting them here .
That he is because that is their plan – to infiltrate America and destroy her from within. I pray Lord God destroy the enemies of Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
They cannot win even from within.
No he’s truthful to our enemies, china, russia, and now the taliban!!!
Because of Biden and the democrats the Taliban now has 85 billion dollars of US military equipment, 70,000 vehicles, airplanes, including black hawk helicopters, night vision body armor and he knows what else. The Taliban now has more black hawk helicopters then 85% of the rest of the world and what is Joe Bidens answer to that? Lets PRETEND THAT IT ISN’T HAPPENING and get our COMMUNISTS news outlets to report “everything is fine, what are talking to our Taliban brothers and they assure us that they are NOT going out at night and KILLING afghans that helped the US FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS. Bidens answer and his democrats is everything is fine, its COOL……
Biden is noncompis mentis – he doesn’t know what day it is, where he is, or what he is doing. He must be physically removed immediately – the lives of all Americans, here & abroad, are in deep danger.
THEY SHOULD HAVE PUT ALL !!!
OF THAT SHIT THST WAS LEFT THERE
IN A WAREHOUSE & BLOWN IT ALL !!!
UP
SO IT WAS UN USEABLE
& TOTALLY DESTROYED
Several of my buddies who were in Nam when we vacated say that was the normal procedure there.
globalists and their demonrat criminal party and rino criminal party always leave our weapons for alqueda and taliban and isis to use against our troops .
Who in the chain of command gave the order to desert Bagram Air Base?
If there was ever an example of “giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war” this is it!
So who is the traitor gave the order?
But then they wouldn’t be able to cause so much terrorism and kill so many people, that is against globalists and their demonrat criminal party plan .
If only they could sprinkle virus bioweapon material all over that equipment before handing it over to talibum forces
It is all by globalists design .
Who in the chain of command gave the order to desert Bagram Air Base?
If there was ever an example of “giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war” this is it!
So who gave the order?
SEND THE TROOPS BACK IN!!! … THEY’RE STRANDED… YOU MORON!!
If you trust the tall boo you are a fool and will get what a fool gets. In this case massive killings. God will hold both the tally boo and uncle joe accountable and my bet is neither will see the pearly gates.
Never mind the pearly gates, we should be more imminently concerned that he’s seeing the inside of the White House — he needs to be GONE!!! 🙁
god allowed globalists and their voter fraud to appoint globalist puppet chester biden . . . .
god continues to bless globalists and their demonrat criminal party and fbi CRIMINAL organisation and globalist media and libby snow flake sheep AND altar boy raping priests .
Well folks, did we expect anything different from this idiot? So these unfortunate Americans left behind on September 1 are at the mercy of the terriorists, you know, the people that love Americans.
Send Joe Biden and Kamel over Afghani and let them have lunch with Obama friends seems how they think such nice folks.
…and make them pack their own chutes.
I’d be more than happy to pack for them if they would leave and never come back!! Please, Lord?
Meanwhile, god continues to bless them as well as he blesses altar boy raping priests .
Satan is Very Powerful
But he is not the ole mighty there is only one and he always wins. Ppl come back to your roots come to your savor and then and only than will he grant thee amen!!!
God is not blessing globalists, he has brought America’s enemies against her to wake his people up. WE allowed these spawns to brainwash and deceive this nation, and lie their way to power.
With no strings
I like this idea. Joe and Commie, I mean, Kammie need to make a personal visit to Kabul to negotiate with Taliban.
globalists and their puppet chester biden are transporting all their obama taliban terrorist friend here so they can have lunch together .
Just tell the Taliban, harm the Americans and our Afghan employees and we will send the B-52s with iron bombs and the C-130s with MOABs to carpet bomb all Taliban strongholds.
A MOAB on their leaders head would get their attention.
EXACTLY!
WHEN will we get this pile of excrement ARRESTED, JUDGED ( NOT by a DEMONICrat judge!!) AND THROWN IN JAIL for the rest of his putrid life, AND THEN, GOD WILL SEND HIM TO BURN IN HELL, WHERE HE DESERVES TO BE!
Does any idiot moron demo, against that?
Have you ever considered the Gospel’s admonition to pray for the repentance and salvation of sinners? If Biden deserves to be in Hell, do you not also deserve to be there except for the mercy of G*d?
A Christian conservative constitutionalist curmudgeon
All of them do
He’s guilty of treason. Firing squad is in order.
globalists and puppet $oro$ and puppet barry soetoro and his husband big MIKE appointed all the correct criminals to the correct positions to protect all their criminals .
IF Suhail Shaheen really wants the Americans out of Afghanistan – then why is he seizing their passports and blocking the exits? He wants the passports for identification and to show who he is holding. He wants the exits blocked because the “Hostages” are leverage.
They may find those passports useful when they want extra cash. Just hit up Mom, Dad, Grandparents, even the children. Don’t bother our present administration. They caused the problem and now want to charge a $1,000 to pay for a flight out.
Really?
Picture it – a multitude of taliban “leaders” bent over with their backsides fully displayed and Groper Joe Bribedem and the Frisco Ho both giving each anal cavity a big wet juicy french kiss. What a disgusting pair of lowlife cowards they are. They are significantly worse than Jimmy Carter and even more spineless than a jellyfish.
….Makes Carter look like Winston Churchill.
He’s brain interrupted and a gutless coward, where is Lee Harvey Oswald when you need him?
Look at the lineup behind him- just as bad
Or worse!
The lineup behind globalist puppet biden also obeys all globalists orders .
So you advocate for assassinations? Are you a leftist Democrat? Since Lincoln most political assassinations and attempts have been committed by leftists, anarchists, communists and Democrats.
Sadly, unless loyal Americans can get things turned around soon from the present course that is being taken, this country will become unrecognizable compared to 20 years ago. Hence, assassinations are likely to become part of the future
I fear you’re right. This country is already unrecognizable from the 70s. We’re no longer a constitutional Republic with a free market economy. I don’t advocate assassinations, but they may well become necessary.
The libby snow flake sheep says; “baa, baa, baa”.
Yes, it seems the Democrat snowflakes don’t care if assassinations occur. But we conservative constitutionalists should. It should only be as a last means when we need to dust off the Declaration and water the Tree of Liberty.
globalists only used lee harvey oswald because JFK was not a good globalist puppet and refused many of their orders, globalist puppet chester biden obeys all globalist orders .
This has turned into such a dangerous situation and a complete disaster and embarrassment for our country. Honestly, I don’t believe anyone in this EVIL administration gives a rat’s behind.
Notice how they keep saying, anyone who wants to leave. Who in the heck wants to stay behind? Even the Afghan people would leave if they could.
Only God can help us now! Pray if you believe.
Praying fervently with you on a daily basis!
You obviously pray to the wrong person . . . . .
I agree. Praying daily.
What is nevertheless needed, as we are instructed in the Bible. “If this people will humble themselves and turn to Me…” He will bless our land. We are all poor sinners, struggling with our concupiscence, and fall daily. I have no doubt if we sufficiently fasted, prayed, did penance, in reparation for our own failures as well as the transgenderism, pedophilia, lust, impurities, adultery, fornication, sodomy, satanism, and tried loving our very unlovable neighbors, in sufficient numbers, we would see help from the Almighty. But, alas, we are so weak. Praying for Mercy.
god is too busy blessing globalists and all their criminals and altar boy raping priests .
Perhaps you can show me from Scripture where that’s true. Could it be we’re reaping what we sowed?
A Fast And Furious operation and it worked again.
Also please keep in mind a Fast and Furious operation is what led to treason by Obama, Panetta, and Clinton in Benghazi. It was what was used by Obama in an attempt to undermine 2nd Amendment rights. And it was meant to arm Mexican drug cartels in an effort to destabilize the Mexican government in my opinion.
It seems the Obama/Harris/Biden regime is up to it’s old tricks.
Contingency plans?
How many pallets of cash does that work out to?
OOOUCH!
Looks like the Taliban is leading our Imbecile-In-Chief around by the nose. We’ll see terrified civilians racing for the next plane out. And we’ll see Afghans masquerading as whatever will see them to safety. I believe the Taliban already has a knockout blow planned for the allies and hopefully, we’ll have a counter punch cocked and ready.
BIDEN BEHAVIOR BUNGLES, FOX news is right. the family especially his wife, had to know his mind was slipping, shows how power hungry they are, to allow a unfit mentally person run for President. It’s not called the Biden crime family for nothing, Where are the doctors report’s to sign off ?, that this person is mentally fit to serve? The left will pay a big price for election tampering and allowing this person to continue in office. The Country is already paying a big price, look at our southern invasion of drug lords and virus infected illegals. now look at our allies and what they are saying, kooks what’s happening with stranded American citizens. Biden’s poor judgement, Biden miss judgements continue, We don’t see Joe Biden, jumping on a plane to see our troops, negotiate better withdrawal terms with the people he thinks are so honorable and highly of, in his mind. Biden caused this mess and now acts like it’s no big deal, just like the mess he caused at the border. Goes on TV and says his job only is to make judgements that no one else can make, Is this clown for real ?, what an idiot, who is he really working for??? not the American citizen.
Everybody knew Bidens mind was slipping. It didn’t just start. The Democrats voted for him anyway. And they are still backing this idiot, so Biden is not the only one with aslipping mind problem.
You’re right, James — it was very obvious during the primaries that something was amiss. Like a functioning brain perhaps??
globalist puppet, chester biden did not receive enough libby snow flake sheep votes and dead libby snow flake sheep votes and illegal criminal invader votes so globalists had to use their voter fraud to appoint their puppet .
He is the trojan horse.
biden folds to the empty suit of ochimpys, he’s a folder. Has no balls whatsoever
He does when it comes to breaking the law and / or destroying our nation.
libby snow flake female sheep have more balls than globalists and their puppet chester biden .
I give you a thumbs down not because you’re quite right about Biden being likely controlled by Obama, but because I believe you’re a KKK style racist. That doesn’t help the conservative cause.
Our Imbecile-In-Chief implies to our Afghan friends, trust the Taliban. Go home. They’ve never harmed anyone in the past. They’ve always been truthful in the past…
The Taliban are Muslims…Obama bowed to Muslims all over the Middle East…Obama via Valarie Jarret and Susan Rice and the DNC direct EVERYTHING Biden is doing…so why would anybody be suprised that we are allowing Muslim terrorist to make us look like fools.
Who in the chain of command gave the order to desert Bagram Air Base?
If there was ever an example of “giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war” this is it!
So who is the traitor who gave the order?
I’m glad you mentioned Valerie Jarret and Susan Rice. I believe they’re in the thick of it. They were and are apologists for the extreme Islamists.
globalist puppet, chester biden will fold to everyone globalists and globalist puppet $oro$ order him to fold to .
I find it hard to believe that the worlds strongest nation allows a bunch of terrorist to tell the US on how there are going to proceed. If bumming biden can get out of bed, he should form up a force of 200,000-300.000 troops and head over to Afgan. and kick ass on any and all terrorist. End of story. Oh, and recover all our military equipment and blow up any building we built with the 1 Trillion investment.
As we have long seen, strength is not just in military equipment and troops, but in moral strength and the willingness to use our strength when needed.
Biden, Obama, Pelosi, and the other seditionist socialists have never understood that. Nor have many Elite/globalist Republicans.
Let’s call it what it is. This is nothing short of treason on a grand scale. We’re in an undeclared war with China, & they are winning hands down.
Oh how I miss the days when we had a beast of a leader in the Oval Office. That “orange dude, what’s his name again? Who gave us a great economy. Who took no nonsense from terrorist regimes. Who told it like it is. And who is suppose in the WH instead of that senile child-sniffing freak.
Please watch this movie to better understand what the poor people in Afghanistan are going through. Movie The 13 hours:The secret soldiers of Benghazi
Who in the chain of command gave the order to desert Bagram Air Base?
If there was ever an example of “giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war” this is it!
So who gave the order?
It could also be cowardice in the face of the enemy. In either case, it was an unmitigated disaster that should be punished.
What a disgraceful, empty headed, lying deceitful, CATASTROPHIC FAILURE the bid en/har ris COMMUNIST REGIME IS, THE ENTIRE REGIME !!! AMERICA IS GĢ
AMERICA IS DYING RAPIDLY, THANKS TO PUDDING BRAIN bid en!!! He talks about china virus, and then walks away, answering NOTHING!!! THIS JERK COULDN’T HANDLE A CROSSING GUARD JOB LET ALONE STEALING THE PRESIDENCY!!! HOW MUCH LONGER WILL AMERICA HAVE TO SUFFER???
Folds like a cheap suit.
Biden is WEAK and NOT A LEADER
The whole Biden administration should be executed.
This Idiot Sitting in the White House as President is a Coward and Does Not Care About American Citizens or The United States of America and What We As A People And Free Nation Represent to the World or now Use To Represent to the World and Freedom. We Do Not Leave Americans or Our Allies Behind to fend For Themselves.
Let’s cut out the “CRAP’, CHEATER Joe Biden is a “COWARD”, pure and simple!!!!!
Impeach Joe Biden now
White Hose lying about Wuhan labs, impeach Joe Biden now
Here’s a fact for you, Biden will abandoned American citizens and the Taliban will kill or enslave them. The women in Afghanistan would be better off dead than left to non-existent mercy of these animals
For what it is worth this Englishman believes your military should target hundreds if not thousands of Taliban targets with its precision weaponry. When Trump warned the Taliban last year that he would rain unimaginable destruction on them if they hurt a single American it resulted in a complete cease-fire for 18 months.
The military knows who these people are and where they are likely to be. They must ignore Biden to the extent of keeping this secret from him. If any Americans are hurt the dogs of war must be unleashed while the world looks on in horrified fascination, particularly China, Russia and Iran, using all the MOABs and MOPs in their arsenal if necessary.

Again he proves he has no functioning brain snd no backbone. He is a quivering coward content to live in his saferoom with a Barbie doll to smell her hair. He has simply surrendered our Afghan helpers, 86 billion dollars of hightech armaments, equipment, Blackhawk helicopters, and 200 gunships to make the terrorist Taliban better equipped than almost every country in the world. In essence the came out of his bunker waving the white flag, A total disgrace to his office and the country with his tail dragging under his sorry ass.
globalist puppet, chester biden falls to everyone globalists order him to fall to .
Does anyone actually believe anything coming from the media or the government? If you do you are a complete idiot
Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord, Psalm 33:12. People will find out how a Godless nation lives See how freedoms are taken away from nations who have abandoned the God of Creation. Lord, Savior, and Deliverer. When you wonder if there is anyone you can trust, remember that God is completely consistent and never lies.
