President Biden

[DawgyNWindow]

He says he was bound by the deal that Trump made. You mean the deal which was heavy laden with conditions that the Taliban broke just days after the deal was signed? The deal Trump didn’t even feel tied to when he retaliated against the Taliban for their attack on Afghan forces? Why would he feel bound by a deal that was nullified working 4 days of its signing because of failure to perform by the Taliban? Hhmmm….

Not only that....but our withdrawal was contingent on a deal being struck between the Afghan government and the Taliban. That is why the Afghan government (not the US) let the Taliban prisoners go free. It was an overture of peace before the negotiations that pretty much never went anywhere. I guess they knew Biden would just cut and run, so there was no need to give up anything. Guisslapp's own link gives the details, but he blames Trump.

Also, the left continues to ridicule the the cognitive test Trump took, knowing full well Biden could not pass it. Remember, it was designed to measure cognitive ability, not intelligence. It is made the way it is so that ALL people, regardless of education, can be tested for dementia and other cognitive issues. Now, saying Biden could not pass it is not necessarily a slam on Biden, it just says that he has reached that age where he cannot make decisions based on his own cognitive functioning. Lots of 70+ year olds are in that same boat. Trump was not. And I bet comparing Trump's academic record against Biden's would likely show Trump's ability to learn and retain information were greater than Biden's during his college years as well.

The deal didn’t restrict them from attacking Afghan forces.

You really should read the deal. You are confused.

Perhaps not, but Trump felt it was a violation and he retaliated. Deal was nullified as far as he cared. Did his military advisors feel differently?

[DawgyNWindow]

I have read it.

Oh wait, I am wrong about it all.

There in paragraph 6 it states that we are to abandon our military bases and pull our soldiers out BEFORE destroying or removing equipment and BEFORE evacuating our citizens or those that assisted us. Furthermore, we are to use those Taliban soldiers as our perimeter airport security to protect our citizens, Afghans friendly to the USA, and our service members from attack. If possible, we are to provide the Taliban (those we have been fighting and killing for 20 years) with a listing of SIV applicants and US citizens so they can assist us in helping our people get home. That danged Trump, hiding all this incompetence in that agreement.

Trump Trump Trump. You are so predictable.

I am glad we are leaving, but good heavens Biden is a cluster.

Why would we have destroyed the equipment we gave the Afghan security forces?

[DawgyNWindow]

I just looked again, and I see NOTHING wrong with the agreement that Trump signed with the Taliban. And the agreement was signed with the Taliban because that is who we were fighting...who else would we sign the agreement with?

He was looking out for America and it's citizens. That is apparent. He tried to push the Afghanistan govt we supported to have peace talks with the Taliban before we left, to no avail. He did make it where NO American service personnel lost their lives from the date the agreement was signed forward (until the cluster f&^% in chief took over the evacuation). All Biden had to do was execute an orderly withdrawal from the country, removing citizens first and making sure we didn't leave anything behind that could be used by the enemy, and no Americans needed to perish. Now we are in an indefensible position in a nation controlled by our enemy, putting more lives at risk.

We are now in a position of weakness. Technically, if you accept that the Taliban was in control of the airport security, the fact that we lost 13 service members yesterday pretty much nullifies the agreement. But now we have no options....we are exposed. That's on Biden. If he got that advice from his cabinet and Generals, it's on them too.

[DawgyNWindow]

Why would we have destroyed the equipment we gave the Afghan security forces?

Why would we not prepare for the contingency that it would fall into enemy hands? We can destroy it now.

Biden said there was no chance the Taliban would take over the country.

Not without violating the agreement.

Biden did not say that. You are confused.

[Guisslapp]

The reason you guys get nearly every single fact wrong is because you consume news from liars.

And, Dawg80, that is why Shep left FoxNews. He was sick of all the lying.

[techman05]

So, all the audio directly from Psaki, Biden, and his advisors is wrong or doctored? Cause that’s what I listened to, not the opinions of any propaganda anchor on any network.

[FriscoDog]

Biden did say that they were prepared for any contingency... guess not..

[FriscoDog]

I don’t worship Biden like you guys do Trump. I can point out many things he does that is wrong, but that doesn’t really add to the discussion here. Like I said earlier, I would have mandated that any immigrant eligible for a vaccine must get one.

That's only part of the equation, and I agree BTW.. the other part is turning loose tens of thousands of covid positive people into the US.

How come when you quoted Biden’s remarks you misquote it as reported from right wing sources then?
