'We are on the cusp of the biggest mass hostage crisis this country has ever seen'

[Counselor706]

“I had one guy who was such a fighter — we called him ‘little Spartacus.’ Spartacus was on the waiting list for the SIV program. He was found at a Taliban checkpoint with American documentation on him,” Waltz said. “You know what they did? They took him back to his village, beheaded his brothers and his cousins in front of him, and then him, to send a message.”

“That's what thousands of American citizens — and let me use this word — stranded in Afghanistan right now are facing,” Waltz said. “We are on the cusp of the biggest mass hostage crisis this country has ever seen.”

Reports and images of the Taliban beating civilians and conducting revenge executions on Afghans have trickled out of the country since the Afghan government collapsed.

Indiana Republican Rep. Jim Banks warned, “The blood is on Joe Biden's hands if any American is harmed or injured or killed and not safely evacuated out of Afghanistan or if any of these weapons or this military equipment is used to harm, injure, or kill an American now or at any time in the future.”

The amount of hyperbolic drama you Trumpies have added to this is amazing.

It's almost like you believe your own bullshit

"Almost" like?

The State Department warned all the Americans it knew of in Afghanistan to get out months ago, and offered financial assistance to those who needed it. (There was no requirement to register with the US embassy there, so people who wanted to go incognito got exactly what they wanted.) Anyone who stayed this long was asking for trouble.

I just heard on the radio that the number of Americans still needing to get out of Afghanistan is about 1500.

Not much.

You sound like the very Trumpies you criticize with your rationalizations of the current administration.

And you've always posted like a Russian propagandist.

When you push the failed establishment policies of the last 50 years, you can't stand on your record. All you can do is argue that any alternative is being a traitor. You reek, just like rotting corpse of the boomer establishment that you still try to prop up.

Your agenda is a pile of crap. Who do you think you're fooling here? Your Russian-inspired agenda is to just be divisive about everything.
