Well, he's doing what would be expected of him, and he has generals to put on the war face. Maybe not Patton's war face, but it's probably just as well.

I guess they can have chapters crop up anywhere. Just like a gang.

When a nation that we have been occupying for decades is abandoned and allowed to fall into chaos and anarchy, these things are bound to happen. And when we can't just snap our fingers and vanish from the scene in an instant, we're bound to be caught up in that chaos until we can get out. Retaliation is irrelevant.

Is it a way for the US to come to a closer relationship with the Taliban by getting rid of part of their enemy, ISIS.
Or is it just Biden talking tough because that is what he thinks people want to hear.

Spam, wonderful spam (bloody vikings!)
I suspect the latter. Comments aimed at the domestic audience as much the international one.

He also may think it will help stop the terrorist attacks.
I urge anyone considering retaliation against the Taliban
to consider reports that ISIS-K (who claimed responsibility
for the attack) opposes both Ameristan and the Taliban.
The Taliban isn't fundamentalist enuf for them, it seems.
This is a situation that bears watching, but not reacting
without due consideration of all possible consequences.
(All IMO.)

It's an old story. These terrorists killed Gaddafi because he had created a wealthy, westernized country in the Mediterranean.
Westernization is treason for them.
Afghanistan, same thing.

Everyone is intimidated by the army the commands.
I don't think Russia or China are.
But I agree that ****hole countries would be.

Good point. North Korea doesn't seem to care either.

Some maybe, but I really don't think the Tailban does.
Ya know, I thought of including them too.
It's like we share one brain!
I think they fear our military.
But I also think they're willing & capable to stand up to it.

Oh, really?:
"More than 70 Afghans, including 28 Taliban members, were counted among ... Kabul bombings: Scores killed in ISIL attacks at Kabul airport ..." -- 13 US military personnel killed in attacks at Kabul airport
