President Biden

[FriscoDawg]

If you wait long enough, you will see everything! Well, here's a time when I agree with Goosey and Biden. Trump was right too as he has always said he wants US troops out of these hopeless situations which have dissolved into, or always were, civil wars. This is not a support for isolationism, which is extremely dangerous. The US has to remain actively involved in world affairs, to practice hegemony because we are the world's best hope. But, we must be more selective where we intervene.

That said....PLEASE do not abandon our good friends and allies the Kurds in Syria and Iraq. Unlike the crappy, wimpy Afghans, the Kurds will fight to protect themselves, they have demonstrably shown that. We have only to support them.

The main point here is timing. Weather-wise, August and September is as good as it gets for conditions under which to mount an offensive. And that is exactly what the Taliban used along with the Afghan military (hard to call it that) conceding when they saw they had no backing whatsoever.

No issue with getting out. But this way was the horribly wrong way.

The calls for 25th Amendment and/or impeachment are ramping up. On BOTH sides of the aisle.

Trump’s agreement was to be out by May. Would that have made a difference?

His agreement had terms. It was not a typical liberal give-a-way.

Terms which would not have been met under the circumstances that played out.

Suspect those circumstances would have been very different with the rightful commander-in-chief still in office.

He HAS to be just playing dumb. I refuse to believe he could get a degree from Tech and be that dense.

What terms were violated?

[PawDawg]

The adult and his band of idiots are inept.

Lol. You watch too much FoxNews.

What term of Trump’s deal did they violate so far?

I've seen and read a few commentaries on the timing. There may be some merit to the argument, but the Afghan army could have used the good weather to fight too...if only they would have.

I'd say the murder of Americans and American assets would be a "violation", but your cowardly bunch is too stupid to make a plan BEFORE they begin to move out.

Try again.

Sounds like you aren’t happy with the deal Trump negotiated.

[FriscoDawg]

The "not ready for primetime" president recited (barely) an ineptly-written speech.

[PawDawg]

Right. You know full well Trump and Trump's team would NEVER have allowed those rag heads to kill Americans.

Much easier to defend than advance in the adverse weather times of year than now.
