I Sincere Hope We Aren’t Sending Our Troops Back In To Ahghanistan

[Bobbisox1]

Why aren’t countries like Saudi,Kuwait and a lot more Arab states just sitting back and watching it all unfold again, that’s unless they want to see Sharia Law and brutal beatings carried out in football stadia ?

Boris will not recall Parliament, until wednesday!,,,, Why the delay Boris ?
It will all be over by then.

[douglas9401]

Another worst since Suez, thoughts and prayers are with the people moment signifying a washing of hands and a moving on.

Recall parliament to give the media their dog and pony show then we can get back to the day-to-day rubbish on COVID and the lies and ineptitude surrounding that.

These beat up Toyotas and mopeds will be easy enough to spot when they're close enough to be worth bothering about and dealt with in jig time.

Gulliver // Why the delay//
Do you think that all MP's live in London?.Wednesday is appropriate so that MP's can make arrangements to travel bsack to Westminster.

[Khandro]

Wednesday = Prime Minister's Questions

[dannyk13]

Khandro.I doubt that there will be a PMQ's next Wednesday.The recall is to a Cobra meeting.

er - not saying it was wrong to withdraw but shouldn't all the likely outcomes & responses have been pre-planned in great detail?

[gulliver1]

15 .27 Spot on , anyone with an ounce of intelligence would have evacuated Embassy staff and civilians first ,and troops last but, This is Boris who does most things back to front.

From Dominic Raab just now

A rather weak response here, he surely can’t think the Taliban will adhere to this?
And as for the Lords getting recalled on Wednesday too, all they’re good for is turning up, partaking in subsidies such as food and drink, making a few grunts then falling asleep for £305 a day !!!

[Jackdaw33]

Pathetic in my view. As if the Taliban give a gnat's chuff about what the international community thinks.

[Bobbisox1]

Exactly JD

[ichkeria]

"As if the Taliban give a gnat's chuff about what the international community thinks. "

Well, they might do, because the last time they over-stepped the mark they were invaded and removed from power.
Not saying they will, but they might ...

[Jackdaw33]

And who's going to invade them next time? Not the US or UK, that's for sure.

[ichkeria]

They might, if it is thought necessary.
That would be some way down the line though.

There is nothing that anyone can do to stop the Taliban completing their takeover, so for now, there probably is no point rushing into hasty reactions and debates.

[Bobbisox1]

The Afghan President has fled his country now

[teacake44]

I wish Boris would go with him.

[gulliver1]

16.13 You tell em Dom , Bet the Talis are quaking in their boots.

[gulliver1]

16,40 Now Now Teacake , stop upsetting the dyed in the wool radicalised Boris supporters.

[naomi24]

Jackdaw is right. Extremist Islam couldn’t give a hoot what anyone thinks. It’s not out to make friends.

[Stickybottle]

Yes it is ironic that 24 hours ago the president was saying he would deploy forces to protect Kabul and now he jumps ship
What a fine example to his citizens
Even more ironic is the lefties who were cheering when Trump was replaced and are now in shock that Biden has done the sensible thing

[teacake44]

Wait until Boris make his speech in the HC he will scare the Taliban to death. :0)
