Seth Moulton said "We learn that a tremendous amount of the success of this operation is in the hands of the Taliban right now, that we`re counting on the Taliban to allow us to get people safely to the airport, that we`re counting on the Taliban to allow us to continue this operation and not massacre people long enough for it to be complete, that we`re counting on the Taliban not to attack our forces on the ground. It`s extraordinary that we`ve put ourselves in this position." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
