War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength, Troop Withdrawal is Troop Surge
After extending the Trump 1 May 2021 deadline to pull out of Afghanistan to 11 September, they’re now pushing the idea of a “troop surge.”
Afghanistan withdrawal plan could involve small troop surge
In what world would a “surge” be considered “small”? That’s like being a little bit pregnant.
The Pentagon is pulling out its old Afghanistan drawdown plans and reworking them for a Sept. 11 deadline, per President Joe Biden’s announcement of the end of Operation Resolute Support on Wednesday.
The 2,500 troops deployed to that country may see some back-up arriving to help with removing equipment, shutting down operations centers and maintaining security as the Taliban seeks to take advantage of their focus on closing up shop.
“I can’t speak with great specificity right now … but it is not out of the realm of the possible that for a short period of time, there will have to be some additional enabling capabilities added to Afghanistan to, again, help effect a safe, orderly and deliberately planned drawdown of everybody by the president’s deadline,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters Friday.
More specific tasking will be coming out closer to the end of the month, he added, but he could not specify a deadline for the withdrawal plan, which will be set into motion on May 1.

Kind of makes sense though. Someone’s got to watch the backs of our troops as we load up and GTFO. Our erstwhile “allies” certainly aren’t going to have any great motivation to do so.
Just leave….

We could have the extras over there in two days and still be out by May 1st.
Meanwhile we’re ignoring the Chicoms who’re laughing their asses off at us…
The purpose of the delay/surge is to goad the other side into some sort of casualty-producing action that would “invalidate” any agreement and excuse remaining indefinitely.
Grift-prep, in other words.
This just kills me. Why do it on May 1st as planned eh?
I know, let’s wait till the 20th anniversary of our worst disaster. This gives the goat fuckers an opportunity to kill several hundred or a couple thousand of our men. Then we can have a REAL war.
Biden is a two-hole licking dick sucker.
If it’s bolted down, un-bolt it. If it rolls, roll it. If it flies, fly it. If it can be loaded in any possible way onto flatbeds, vans, or sling loads, remove it. Bring it ALL home.
Whatever cannot be brought back, burn it, blow it up, or bulldoze it to less than scrap.
Leave NOTHING behind.

Might actually improve Asskcrackistan…
Messkit,don’t be disingenuous.
All those big screen TVs in the chowhall at Taji and Balad ended up in the houses of well-to-do Iraqis.
You know perfectly well the goatlickers will inherit all our possessions deemed unprofitable to move back to the states.

Anyone besides ol’ Poe struck by the irony of Operation RESOLUTE Support?
“Operation Ironic Name” must not have been available.
I know, let’s go for “Operation Uh, You know, The Thing”.
Operation Come On Man
As a civilian, and a taxpayer interested in military matters, I am so happy to see our troops in Afghanistan finally coming home.
Endless wars do not benefit the people or the interests of the United States.
DJT was a disruptor who tried to pull the troops out of Syria, and made the timetable for the Afghan withdrawl.
I have little hope that a swamp creature like Biden will go against the military industrial complex and leave Syria, Iraq or Africa.
Plus, you have to consider that Gropey Joe is a meat puppet who is not making the decisions he endorses and publicizes. He is controlled by the D-rats behind the curtain.
As I recall, my only comment about Afghanistan was “Nice place– where do you flush it?”
