Cowboys claim Will Grier off waivers in latest quarterback reshuffling
Taliban fighters are feeling angry and betrayed Wednesday after discovering that Afghan National Army helicopters abandoned at Kabuls airport have been rendered inoperable by departing U.S. troops, according to a report.
An Al Jazeera reporter who toured a hanger on the military side of the airport said in a video that the terrorist group "expected the Americans to leave helicopters like this in one piece for their use."
"When I said to them, why do you think that the Americans would have left everything operational for you? They said because we believe it is a national asset and we are the government now and this could have come to great use for us," she continued.

Then didn't. I'm sure that could have been arranged. This was better.
