Biden denies F'ing up the Afgan evacuation

The withdrawal from AG is Trump's mess. If the suicide bomber didn't get through there would be nothing for the talking heads at Fox to complain about. Trying to get another extension could have lead to more war and more casualties on our side. Biden did well to not ask for another leave date. Originally Posted by adav8s28

I'm getting the impression based on the past couple of months that more AND MORE responsible people are recognizing they fucked up this past election and the local response in the ground level elections and local government meetings reveals a general lack of patience to allow the current fiasco in D.C. to continue.

My primary concern is that replacements for the current clowns will hesitate to start pulling the plug fast and thoroughly on the EO authorizations and lameass Socialist legislation that will plague the country for another 2 to 6 years. They have to comprehend that change in D.C. is to get changes on the ground.

Another Trump (or TrumpLike) term with an effective Congress and initiatives will solidify the principles and establish a framework for the country to continue on a positive, collective agenda that will last at least for another couple of decades. When the Canadians and the Mexicans modify their respective leadership to thwart the directions of the current administrations it will form a hardened North America to continue working together for a long time for our mutual benefits. The French in the North and the cartels in the South have always been "anti-U.S." and created havoc.

Nobody expected the Afgan government to fold so quicky.adav8s28 is spot on. Without the suicide bomber this was the best we could hope for. Trump negotiated a withdrawal with the Taliban without any input from the Afgan government.

But you and LexusLover can sit on the sidelines like weekend warriors

The relief pitcher who finished the game would be credited with the save. The save situation rules would apply. Here is one of them. Enter the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitch at least one inning.

What's the problem JD you didn't play little league? Sounds like you don't follow baseball that closely.

no. Obama played a part in the withdrawal. He did this by freeing the 5 taliban leadership from prison in exchange for that deserter.

so, both trump and obama were responsible for that fiasco.

the withdrawal would not have been an issue if not for the 5 terrorists were still in prison.

the reason it folded quickly was because biden cut off military support which was why the taliban were able to advance so quickly.
