DC and all the agencies, branches, think tanks, strap hangers form a cozy club - do nothings that talk. They are coddled and made to look important like an oversized and overstuffed royal court. We've never demanded real accountability, so they are free to live it up and make juvenile mistakes. This is simply a step up from bull sessions in college dorm rooms that evolved from the day's classes in stuff like political science and other social studies. At best it is mid level intellect deciding poor policy. These people are "thinkers" not doers; they've never worked and accomplished; they've largely ridden academic achievement and personal ties.

These think tanks and institutes are nothing other than soothsayers as well. When I see a Woodrow Wilson Institute of "scholars" I cannot but shake my head. Nothing but opinion based on group think.
The gall..the man was a freakin failure.

Might wing a Chinese ambassador, so we'll have to refrain to show we are diplomatic and not barbarians. Now if we had people who just might take that course of action, reasonable people might consider not putting their people in harms way - the Chinese have plenty of spares though.

So what..even Clinton did it in Kosovo

I doubt that very seriously. Hell, you have a few that are mad at Bush for going there in the first place.

Given Afghan history and a quest for revenge having failed security 101 (with help from previous administrations), Bush's course of action was stupid.

We peaked as a country some time ago. How would putting people who learned everything they know on the downslide help make things better?

All I know is that we need a president with better cognitive and decision making capabilities than Trump or Biden.

It amazes me how much damage Biden has already done and we aren't even a year in.

Dems have targeted republican presidents, so why not just go whole hog and cripple both parties equally? For now (and perhaps always) impeachment is a political device, and not one that is limited to punishing illegal activities. Dem politicians in particular never learned "As you sow so shall you reap".

The impeachment talk now is so obviously just revenge for Trump. Just a ridiculous comparison.

Revenge?? Biden just isn't fit to carry out his Oath of Office. He has no brain to function with.
His decisions are terrible for the USA. Everything he touches goes to chit. It's plain as day. He's been doing what others tell him to do & Democrats have done a terrible disservice to America.

Well there is actually a very public video record of Biden’s failings and corroboration by his own Intel and DoD that he has lied on the events of the Afghan debacle. Then you throw on the judge ruling that is overturning of Trumps Remain in Mexico policy is not legal for good measure and it’s at least worth talking about. Remind again how many charges Mueller recommended?

Trump and Biden got the same bad advice and made the same decision based on it. Trying to turn it into anything more than that is weaksauce.
