Aug. 19 is Afghan Independence Day (from Britain in 1919). Some are saying the Talibs hope to have this War over by a Thursday in time to declare independence.

Mazar has fallen to the Taliban.

I'm sitting here thinking how? A force of 18,000 can't fight back?
Give me 18,000 and I would to be the next Attila the Hun in the hood.

Eric Prince was just on Fox News saying all these think tank people should resign. He also said the Jail at Bagram was broken into and the prisoners released.

This Eric Prince needs to be gunned down for the mass murdering he's done that vampire.
But you have these Begharat Sheikhs funneling money to him.

The Taliban also captured Faryab province.

Incompetence and cowardice. The Generals don't have any faith in their men, the men have no faith in their leadership. This is what happens when you promote goatherders to Generals.

Very true bhai. This in my opinion is a much worse failure than Vietnam.

That beaver face needs to be eliminated. Pak should take this opportunity to eliminate these bastards.

Damn, they are fast, I thought it would take them September at least. The US president would be giving a speech on 9/11 of victory and meantime Afghan Taliban would be celebrating their victory in Afghanistan. But I guess, Taliban don't care about dates and their significance, they want the capital before Ashura.

I think Afghan soldiers dont want to fight for the Afghan Government anymore because they think its pointless to fight for a foreign imposed Government.

Tomorrow when the Islamic Emirates is in power, the same soldiers maybe recruited into the Afghan military... and paid their salaries accordingly which at the moment they're probably not getting.

Even the cartoonist agrees.

Total wreck, just yesterday Dostum was inspecting forward positions in Balkh, Ata was steadfast in defending Mizar and now they with their sizeable forces fleeing to Uzbekistan & Shaheen force was supposed to be some kind of elite force
