We were pulling our troops no matter who was President. Biden screwed up the exfil, royally, but our troops were coming home. Trump negotiated the original deal. Chances are high that the Taliban was retaking control no matter what. The only thing that could have prevented it was maintaining a military presence, and most of us don't want to keep sending soldiers over there to get killed. When the mission became one of nation building, it was always going to fail."
"People do need to realize that, you know, as opposed to yelling at each other on social media – there's an enemy out there that wants to kill all of us. And it doesn't matter, really doesn't matter, what you look like – it's your ideology," he said. "You don't believe what they think you should believe and they’re going to kill you."
"One of their sayings is, 'The Americans have the clock, but we have the time,'" he added, warning against the threat of a future attack. "They're going to adapt." "
It took 20 years but they got someone to hand them back everything and more!
Thanks Joe

You linked a non viewable story. Did your friends at the State Department give it to you? Are they still barbecuing at the Kabul airport with the other US citizens who are free to come and go as they please? Keep up the good work Don Quixote!
You can't make statements like this that advocate murdering millions and then claim to worry about 8 random deaths.
So you want to murder millions of innocents to satisfy your bloodlust? That's insanityI said 20 years ago. I could give two poos about the 8. I care about the ones jumping out of two towers 20 years ago.
If you can find my post worrying about those 8 random deaths, you are free to quote it for me. Wont be the first time I woke up and posted something I don't remember.
Since you care, yes, our last two guys got out on the last flight.
And as per usual, while this was a major F’up, it simply isnt as bad as the drama the press makes it out to be. The equipment was all non-functioning or outdated.
I swear, the lefties peddling the drama in the COVID thread and the righties rolling their eyes have flipped scripts in this one.
I am sure they did and I also have no doubt the Taliban is fully cooperating with allowing all individuals who seek extradition to the US
