CBS: Taliban surround major Afghan cities, ready for a showdown when U.S. troops are gone
Kabul — President Biden was to speak on Thursday about the situation in Afghanistan as America's involvement in its longest-ever war draws to an end.
Mr. Biden is expected to say that the U.S. withdrawal is complete, but a force of around 1,000 troops will remain in country to provide security at the U.S. Embassy and Kabul International Airport.
But the Taliban militants the U.S. has spent two decades battling are now pushing toward provincial cities, bringing their battle with Afghan security forces ever closer to regional capitals.
Afghan commando units were back on patrol Thursday in the capital of Badghis Province, in western Afghanistan — just a day after they beat back Taliban militants who tried to storm the city.

WNU Editor: The above CBS report says the Taliban will launch their major offensive when US troops are gone.
Says who?
I would not be surprised if the Taliban launch their major offensive before the last US soldiers leave just to make the point that they are now in charge, and they have driven the US out of the country.

That country has a huge American embassy staffed with 1400 Americans. For the Taliban "Let's get em" has to be ringing in their heads.
President Biden Says US Military Mission In Afghanistan Will End August 31. Not September 11 As Originally Announced
Labor Day weekend starts 3 day (2.5 days actually) later. Joe is going to have very nice holiday weekend talking happy thoughts. He will need a lot of ice cream as comfort food.
"Caroline Kennedy went up to kiss the ring and get the blessing of Al Sharpton and made the big, fatal mistake of being photographed eating. One thing a politician is never supposed to do is you’re never supposed to allow cameras when you’re actually eating. You can sit in front of your plate. You can be toying around with the food or whatever it is on the plate with your knife and fork.
But you are never supposed to open your mouth, put the food in it, and start chewing while the cameras are running because nobody looks good doing that. And, boy, she didn’t. She chewed with her mouth open. You can imagine the smacking lips sound that were accompanying this. Meanwhile, the Reverend Sharpton was just looking at her. He was not eating anything"
Did You See Kasich Eating?
I will never understand why the press ooohs and aaaaahs whenever Biden opens his pie hole to gulp ice cream.
1) Is it the 2 sets of rules?
2) Is it if he is filmed gnoshing on ice cream, you can avoid running news items in inflation or other bad news?
3) Maybe the news people have a geriatric fetish?
Labor Day weekend will be hot, it will be violent, and there will be no fireworks for distraction.
it was for many a storm-filled weekend. guess what: even some in gop now believe in climate change.
mock on about Biden but he still has better numbers in less than one year than Trump had in FOUR years and that is why Trump lost lost lost
