Although I love a good opportunity to point out Joe Biden's failures because of what he's done to this country, and to me personally with his failed pull-out of Afghanistan... this isn't one of his failures.
Delta Force members are not under cover assignments. They do not have pseudonyms who's names / faces need to be protected. They are simply an elite team under the AFSOC branch of JSOC of SOCOM... but their identities aren't unknown. Additionally, we are allies with Israel, but we are not "allies" in the same sense that we are with UK, AU, NZ, and CA. They're not part of the English-speaking group, they're third-party partners. Why I say that is because we know that there would be Mossad in the room, and it would be well-understood that everyone entering that room would have their identities captured, recorded, and well-known from here-on out.
The only breach of protocol here is the fact that they were there at all, which makes it an OpSec concern... and I suspect they were likely asked to be present with Biden by his administrators for the political optics back home. Democrats today seem intimately concerned with political optics. It's been this way since the Obama administration... and wasn't really something that Bill Clinton was overly concerned about. The President of course has every right to ask them to be there, and has every right to release whatever information to the public he deems... he is the ultimate authority. The silliness is that in the Democrats constant-concern of political optics, they actually made it worse by removing that post and then following it up with a nonsense response. They didn't actually do anything wrong, but now everyone thinks they did. LOL![This message has been edited by 82-T/A [At Work] (edited 10-20-2023).]

I suspect the room they are in there is no expectation of privacy.
If they are currently on a mission then they shouldn't have been in the room.
If troop movements were compromised it would be the responsibility of leadership in that room that invited them in for a photo opp.

the pull out was on the RUMP'S SCHEDULED & PLANED PROGRAM
JOE'S PEOPLE FOLLOWED A RUMP PLAN
WHY NEVER NOTE THE RUMP'S PLAN ?

Once again, no accountability for Joe's failures... he can do no wrong.
Let's forget that almost 9 months had gone by from the point that Biden was inagurated to the time that we pulled out of Afghanistan. A lot can change in 9 months, and with the fact that the world knew that Biden would be feckless (as indicative by the fact that Russia began amassing troops as SOON as Biden was seated), the Taliban knew they could run roughshod all over Biden and the Afghan withdrawal.
Let's totally ignore the fact that Biden had the opportunity to obliterate 3/4ths of the Taliban that were sitting outside Kandahar waiting to take it over, but didn't.
Let's totally ignore that Trump directly stated that he would personally see to it that the Taliban leader was killed if he reneged on his promise... literally said on a recorded line that he would send a drone to kill him and his entire family. This is literally what Trump said.
What did Biden do? He ABANDONED Bagram... didn't even tell the ANSF that we were leaving, literally abandoned the gate overnight where it was immediately overrun by civilians. We left thousands of military vehicles that were never intended to be left behind. We left dozens of planes that were NEVER intended to be left behind, including C17s and C130s on the tarmac of HKIA... with all the equipment on board, which has far reaching consequences than you'll ever know.
Ray, you are so completely ignorant of anything to do with this... the reason why I never bring up the "rump's" plan for withdrawl is because BIDEN was President, and had been president for almost 9 months. And even though Biden did absolutely everything he could to completely UNDO every single thing that Trump did... JUST BECAUSE, you're telling me that instead, one of the most important battles we've fought in the past three decades, that for this ONE thing, Joe Biden followed it to a "T" and completely trusted everything Trump wanted and didn't change it one bit?
Nonsense. I was involved in the withdrawal plan for my agency, and I can tell you that absolutely none of it was followed except for the "break glass" scenario... which means that Biden ****ed up big time and didn't know what to do.
Stop repeating retarded Democrat talking points...[This message has been edited by 82-T/A [At Work] (edited 10-20-2023).]

I wonder why the Taliban leader didn't think twice about reneging on his promise... whatever "promise" is supposed to be part of this narrative?
Maybe because he'd been following the news reports about the four-year dumpster fire at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue that history now encapsulates as the "Trump administration"..?[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 10-20-2023).]

... because universally, Democrats are viewed as weak and feckless. This isn't my opinion, it's been stated by many geopolitical strategists. The Taliban leader knew that Biden would capitulate and give him exactly what he wanted.
I am curious why you keep forgetting these things. I remember almost everything you say on this forum, not for any reason that I would be obsessed... maybe I just have better recall I suppose. But I've already told you about this, so either you're intentionally pretending like you don't remember, or you're hoping I won't put in the effort (for the win/lose argument scenario I guess).
Here is the first article that came up:
https://www.washingtonexami...hreat-obliterate-him
And another time when he threatened to wipe out the Taliban negotiator's whole village if they reneged on their promise:
https://www.businessinsider...an-book-2021-12?op=1
... to which of course, Democrats were screaming that it was a war crime.
And yet, here we are again, the two apologists for the Democrat party are here to defend *every* action of Joe Biden, even though he has a 37% approval rating, and more than 70% of his own party does not want him to run for reelection. I'm starting to think then that perhaps maybe the two of you are radical leftists. You certainly aren't middle of the road Democrats if you think Joe Biden is doing a good job, and are unable to admit otherwise.

rinse doesn't play dumb.....he doesn't have to do that.
Some things just come naturally to some people.
I have a Sun Conure.
Beautiful bird.
People always ask if it can talk, as it looks like a parrot.
I tell them, 'No, but it can mimic sounds that it hears repeatedly'.
Do you hear what I'm sayin'?

I can't give the Biden administration an enthusiastic "thumbs up" for the very tragic final chapter of the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan.
I haven't even tried.
I see 82-T/A's narratives on this topic for what they are. They are cherry-picked and over-simplified, and deliberately framed to make Trump look good and Biden look bad.
Just the assertion that the Biden administration had a full 9 months to work on getting it right—the final pullout from Afghanistan—sweeps aside many other relevant issues and problems. You can get a sense of it by scrolling through this article that I found.
"Taliban have learned to use some US helicopters, planes left in Afghanistan, watchdog says"
Doug G. Ware for Stars and Stripes; February 28x, 2023.
https://www.stripes.com/the...n-sigar-9287001.html
One sentence from this article in Stars and Stripes:
| quote | | [The Pentagon] had a horrible system in place to keep track of weapons and where they were [in Afghanistan] and how they were maintained.” |
