It
is Monday morning, August 30, as I type this out. We are supposed to
be gone tomorrow. Senile Joe has promised we will be gone tomorrow. I
do not know anybody, with the possible exception of Senile Joe, who
actually thinks we can accomplish what we said we wanted to accomplish
in that time frame. So, what will happen?
Possibility
one. We will in fact get everybody out who wants to get out in that
time frame. I think that is about as likely as Howie being the next
Pope, but you never know.
Possibility
two. We got almost all of our own people out, pretend we got out all
of the natives who want to get out, and let the rest get killed.
Possibility
three. We acknowledge we still have people in-country but leave anyway
and keep saying that we think the Taliban will protect them and get
them out because it is in their best interest to do so. It is barely
possible that will happen. It is also barely possible I will be elected
the next Archbishop of Canterbury. I think the two things are about
equally likely.
Possibility
four. Our people will become hostages. The locals who worked for us
will become dead. I suspect this is most likely, but I could be wrong.
I have been wrong before. I put $15 on Sonny Liston against Cassius
Clay in 1963.
Possibility five. The goat fuckers will do something really public and really nasty and we will go back in.
Damned if I know how it is going to turn out. The only thing I am pretty sure of is it will make us look like idiots.

WEll, it happened. We are out of there, leaving several hundred American citizens and tens of thousands of US employed locals to be chew toys for the Taliban.
