"While pundits have compared the evacuation from Afghanistan to that from Saigon in 1975 after North Vietnamese forces took the city, in that case the U.S. rescued about 7000 people in only two days, from April 29 to April 30." Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos were so much worse than Afghanistan... for those confused, listen to Lawrence O'Donnell at MSNBC; replays of last night and others will explain the mendacity of MSM covering this mess... and much more. Lawrence's judgement matches his knowledge... and character... on historical fact and the racist aspect, there is no one better.
One big difference was the Saigon evacuation was in the midst of enemy fire. I believe President Biden decided to go for the withdrawal now because of the agreement with the Taliban not to shoot at Americans as they withdrew.
Here's O'Donnell's interviews. Slide over to 15:00 to see the coverage on Afghanistan. One Interviewee was former Marine Lucas Kunce from Missouri is running for Senate. Somebody to watch?
Lynell, a friend of mine who lives in CA and very tech knowledgeable is helping the Kunce campaign on the tech end. She met him several years ago and is very high on him.

I have already sent him $$
I’ve liked all I’ve seen of him. Including his locked and loaded ad!
Pretty cool ad!
It seems the feed I provided to O'Donnell's 8/23 "The Last Word" on MSNBC has been deleted. Sorry!
Yes, here’s a link to the transcript. Well worth a read. You can scroll down to 22:20:37.

Thank you, Gina! I forgot about the transcript...and I spent 40 years as a court stenographer who had to compete with videos when they came out!
Video has been taken down.
Bummer. It "aired" on 8/23. I didn't know they'd delete it so soon.
