So after 20 years of warfare, the United States of America is reduced to begging the Taliban to spare our humble embassy so as to save America the humiliation of having a desperate, Saigon 1975–style rooftop evacuation as the communists close in.
Monica Showalter "Joe Biden is begging the Taliban to spare the U.S. embassy when they knock down the Afghan capital of Kabul and overrun the country. And with the fall of Kandahar, Herat, and all the other big Afghan cities, that could be any day now.
"Here's the lovely story from the New York Times:
. . .
"The Taliban is out doing victory dances like this. They're hanging collaborators like this. They've fired up the kidnap/sex-slave rackets and are hunting down local journalists. They've already been issued stern warnings from the U.S. embassy in Kabul about this to no effect, and $2 trillion's worth of warfare from the U.S. over 20 years has had no effect, either.
"Think they'll take to Joe Biden's call to spare our embassy to ensure no hurt feelings and public relations problems?"

CODE RED: Afghanistan Is Lost. Don't Leave Our Allies Behind
"There are hundreds of interpreters who aided us and need our help before that failed state falls back into barbarism. We were never going to turn Afghanistan into a democracy. I fear what we are seeing is a replay of Saigon 1975 with us leaving our friends and allies to find their own way out of hell.
"Before we see people hanging from the slicks of Hueys, as helicopters depart from the roof of another US embassy, I hope Biden opens up our doors and welcomes the people who fought for America.
"We cannot save Afghanistan. We can save the people who helped us." . . .
