Worked out all right.
LOL! How quickly you forget about 2020 when Republicans flipped 15 seats in the House! It was the 'Blue Wave that Wasn't!" LOL!
Also, how quickly you forget about the Census! The Census Bureau announced that 7 House seats will shift as a result of the 2020 Census, many moving to Republican-leaning states and exiting states that tend to vote Democrat.
Omertà
There's been some statements made by a couple of liberals on this site about Afghanistan that I find incredibly naïve.
a.) If the USA would only stop picking on Afghanistan then maybe they would play nice.
Response: copier addict got it right. These are religious extremists and they've been this way for more than century. They hate anyone that doesn't follow their strict teaching of the Quran and they want to kill them. They stone their women death. They kill gays and anyone else that steps out of line.
To say that the USA is the problem is akin to picking up a snake and being surprised when it bites you.
b.) Eventually the Taliban will come around and be excellent trading partners like Vietnam.
Response: See response #1. These are religious extremists and the 2 countries have NOTHING in common.

(CNN)The US military negotiated a secret arrangement with the Taliban that resulted in Taliban members escorting groups of Americans to the gates of the Kabul airport as they sought to escape Afghanistan, according to two defense officials.
One of the officials also revealed that US special operations forces set up a "secret gate" at the airport and established "call centers" to guide Americans through the evacuation process.
The officials said Americans were notified to gather at pre-set "muster points" close to the airport where the Taliban would gather the Americans, check their credentials and take them a short distance to a gate manned by American forces who were standing by to let them inside amid huge crowds of Afghans seeking to flee.
These are the facts:
13 dead Marines killed under Biden
Hundreds of Americans left stranded in Afghanistan.
If this is success, I'd hate to see failure.
