The mistake was that this current regime has no clue what its doing.

The mistake is that we allowed an illigitimate regime to take power.

Pulling out was long overdue but how do you not evacuate your own people before doing it???

Biden and Co. need to have a very good response to why they did what they did because it’s hard not to squint and not see how they purposely tied this withdrawal to the 20 year anniversary of 9/11. Trying to be symbolic is going to have a direct cost of hundreds if not thousands of lives.

I don’t resent Biden as much as others but he’s had a really brutal last 2 months.

They didn't even know the Taliban was communicating with the Afghan army via WhatsApp showing them how to surrender and 'save themselves'.

We have the most worthless collection of senior military officials this country has seen in quite some time.

That is what happens when you worry about vaccinations, masks and white rage.

This will forever be one of the darkest times in our nations history and its because we have utter incompetence at the top.
 
Reports now that intelligence services told the Biden regime this would happen and he ignored their warnings.

There is a lot that is yet to unfold which will show how incompetent this illigitimate regime truly is.
 
Reports now that the Taliban have seized our biometric databases.

Now they know everyone that worked for the US and are using it at checkpoints.

It gets better and better.

When do the impeachment proceedings start?

Pretty good op-ed by Michael Gerson on credibly accused creepy joe's ****up.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/08/16/trump-afghanistan-withdrawal-biden-catastrophe/

money quote:

The United States’ war in Afghanistan formally ended in 2014. The maintenance of a few thousand troops to support the Afghan military and conduct counterterrorist operations had a cost. But that cost was minimal compared with the price of the Taliban’s complete triumph in Afghanistan — the humanitarian disaster, the harm to American credibility, the destabilizing flow of refugees, the morale boost for Islamism and the likely incubation of new terrorist threats.

Keeping our commitment in Afghanistan — a small commitment for a superpower — would not have been “kicking the can” down the road. It would have been the wise, sustainable, realistic use of U.S. resources to avoid disaster. The United States has many foreign policy and military commitments that are useful but not ideal or final.

He makes a good point about maintaining the status quo. I'm afraid the pull out has just installed a re-emboldened Taliban and that Afghanistan will once again become a breeding ground for terrorism.

Hopefully there is no upsurge in terrorist activity. We'll see.
 
If you secured your borders you wouldn't have to worry about that. But I understand this is the argument because the global aristocracy wants us to stay in quagmires like Afghanistan in perpetuity.

Along with operational Blackhawks, drones, and munitions. They're already meeting with the Chinese, I'm sure copies of each will be on the way to Beijing within days.

A failure of epic proportions. CCP will annex Taiwan next.

This is why stolen elections matter.
 
Lets think about how much of a boon this is for the CCP and then marry that to the fact we have documented proof that they funneled millions of dollars to the Bidens.

This is a national disgrace.
 
You can now see the rats are leaving the ship.

Stories from all MSM showing how much the Biden regime ****ed this up. Its malpractice and makes you question where Bidens loyalties are.
 
Its the blame game on everyone possible other than this feckless regime.

There is plenty of blame to go around but we all know who is primarily responsible.
 
BTW - The myth of the moderate Muslim that will stand up against the more radical elements was thrown out the window.
 
Hey Biden - you know who warned us about the missteps in Afghanistan?

The same guy you framed from the oval office.
 
Its embarrassing that we have a 'President' that can't take a single question.

What a ****ing joke.
 
It was a disingenuous speech. We had many options. But none of them would tie everything up in a neat bow. Life aint that tidy. You choose from messy somewhat unsatisfactory options.
