Glass it...
Can't, at least not at this point. Our agreement with the Taliban is basically they let us leave quickly, and in exchange we don't engage them militarily. So far it's holding. By the way "we" in this situation includes many of our allies, that is a busy airport this weekend. The Taliban are close enough that they could shut down the airport at any point with tube artillery and there would be little we could do to stop them. This is the deal negotiated by Trump, he was at least smart enough or saw enough classified briefings to realize the Afghan government was useless and didn't invite them to the negotiations. The ANA folding this quick apparently was not anticipated by our top flight intel community.
