Taliban Taking Over Afghanistan - Does anyone care?

[Franklin Pierce]

Biden’s Disgrace

President Biden’s Afghanistan exit ended with another national humiliation, with perhaps yet more on the way.

After promising less than two weeks ago to stay until every American had been evacuated, Biden left with roughly 200 American citizens still in Afghanistan, according to the administration’s own accounting.

We will learn more in the days ahead about the number and who these Americans are. Secretary of State Antony Blinken portrayed them as largely dual citizens conflicted about whether to leave, whereas Clarissa Ward of CNN reported, for instance, on a Texas family that was blocked by the Taliban from getting to the airport over the last two weeks.

After disastrously underestimating the gathering Taliban offensive and drawing down troops before getting out civilians and diplomats, the administration allowed itself to get bottled up at the Kabul airport, dependent on the Taliban for security. Rather than acting to restore our leverage, by retaking Bagram Air Base or another airfield, the White House rushed to bug out by the August 31 deadline that the Taliban insisted on.

Couldn't you replace Florida with any other state in the U.S. and that statistic would remain true? Nice attempt at fear mongering though.

My point was more to shed light on the faux outrage.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

Wow these people are sick!

 

[KB5252]

As a dog owner and professional misanthrope, I understand the outrage. Dogs are awesome and humans, for the most part, suck.

I do as well, I trust animals much more then people, they are so much easier to understand.

WTF ever you’re all hypocrites. Suck it up snowflakes, Your hero isn’t coming back anytime soon

Ironic you call others hypocrite when you're unwilling to call out Biden's epic screw up. Trump is no longer President, yet you keep trying to shift focus back to him. Biden is President. He screwed this up royally. Own it and stop being a devoted fan boy. You sound like the "Trumpers" you're bitching about.

Sit this one out Ted.

There is nothing faux about the outrage.

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

Did he also talk about how Hunter banged his dead brothers wife too? He never seems to bring that part up. Classy family.

Well, in Hunter’s defense ... he was/is a crackhead and well ... you can’t realistically expect a crackhead to keep it in his pants at every family function now can you ?

 

[CagleMtnVol]

Remember Joe Biden told Obama not to authorize the OP to kill/capture Bin Laden.

He's weak! Doesn't like to face challenges.

That’s the smartest guy the vegetable in chief knows I’ll have you know!

We've had troops dying needlessly in Afghanistan for the last 20 years. 13 more died and everyone is suddenly outraged at Biden. Good riddance to this dumb war.

Those people are choosing to stay there, but that doesn't fit your narrative.

There hadn't been a combat casualty in Afghanistan in over a year. If not for the complete incompetence of Biden and his team we could have left without any.

1 year. Out of 20.

Not sure how in the hell this is even being defended. My outrage is very much real.

1 year. Out of 20.

Yeah, 1 year could have turned into forever had it not been for complete incompetence.

Minus 2019 Biden has had more KIAs in Afghanistan than any year since 2014.

so Trump has more KIAs in Afghanistan than Biden. Oh the outrage.

 

[hog88]

Your water bucket is leaking.

 

[Weezer]

so Trump has more KIAs in Afghanistan than Biden. Oh the outrage.

Why are you guys being so purposely obtuse? In 2019, we were still fully engaged in a war. Fast forward to now when the whole purpose was to withdraw troops, citizens, and allies. All of this could have been avoided with better planning. Biden **** the bed on that. He stupidly pulled all the troops first, leaving everyone else vulnerable. It was an idiotic backwards way of doing it. How in the hell can you continue to defend that with "but Trump"? Trump isn't the President. Biden is. Why in the hell would Trump matter at this point?

Yep, big whoop, what's another 13 right?

the 13 dead isn't the reason for the outrage - it's a small bit of icing on the outrage cake. He and his team F'd this thing up royally. If you don't see it then it's not worth rehashing but suffice it to say the reason to have lost all faith in Biden isn't just because of these tragic deaths.

Yeah, but a plagiarist knows an abundance of high intellects. It’s a moving target you know.
