They need to make a clean and safe exit. Biden can go there and be the Last one from America out. Note; I did not say last American out.

The president started this mess by not evacuating before removing troops. We owe our people and allies the right to get safely out!

President Joe Biden held firm to the Aug. 31 deadline in public remarks Tuesday. He said meeting the deadline will require Taliban cooperation.

If ALL people who want out are out, no, we need to go If we still have US citizens or supporters that want out, we need to make that happen, no question. This is an epic failure of the current administration. Total flustercluck.

The current administration of Iran has proven to be unreliable and is not trustworthy.

Max

Iran has plenty of oil for energy generation.

Fred

No, not as long as the current regime is in power. Theocracies are always bad news ... something we should keep in mind!

Max

That has been going on since the Prophet Muhammad found the Muslim church in 610 AD.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Max

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Max

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.
