Fox News’ Bret Baier teed up a simple question for Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby: “Does the U.S. Military Consider the Taliban an Enemy?”
Kirby boggled it in spectacular fashion.

Kirby dodges the question. pic.twitter.com/D72tRXrsxl
And here comes the internet.
The real enemy is 'time and space'?

The spokesperson for our nation's military stutters, fumbles over words, and acts afraid to upset q group regarded as our enemy for the last 20 years.

Answer: uh, um, the thing we are, uh, um, focused on now is, uh, um, getting American's out. Total malfunction.

Baier asked a follow-up that’s on everyone’s mind:
“If the British can take their paratroopers and get in vehicles and go get their people and get them to the airport, why can’t the U.S. do that…Why is it left to the Americans outside of that ring to get their on their own?”
And Kirby misses another layup.
