Taliban Taking Over Afghanistan - Does anyone care?

[Septic]

Luther cares how the world views/thinks of us plus many more on the left did & those in the media cared when Trump was President. That's all you heard 24/7 was how the world thinks of us from the left. They cried day & night over the perception of what was happening.

Your deflection is noted.

All of you suddenly caring about Afghanistan (and our how the world perceives us) is laughable.

 

[allvol123]

Spare me.

Ya'll would have cried no matter what... Sure, it's not a great situation and things could have been handled better but this was going to happen no matter what.

Coming anywhere close to not identifying how epic of a f up this is, takes quit the idiocy. Winner, winner!

A broken clock is right twice a day.

She was right for 20 years.

"quit the idiocy" is self help advice you ought to take.

That would mean putting you on ignore. Get back to toting that water.

Laughing at ya'll suddenly getting the vapors over a 20 year Afghan train wreck is enjoyable.

Not sure how you equate that with "toting water", but maybe conflating what I've said with support for Biden helps your feeble intellect reconcile my position.

 

[Hunerwadel]

But..but..what's the problem? These people are Radical Islamist Muslims who want to kill all Americans, initiate Sharia Law, and end our way of life. Seems like I remember a few threads about that.

[headhunter15]

Wow. Obama personnel turning on Biden now.

 

[VolnJC]

Biden Lied People Died

 

[05_never_again]

Yeah, we could have all civilians and most hardware out, pulled troops into the airport under air cover and said see ya!

We then should have waited until the taliban had occupied our embassy and dropped a couple MOABs on it as a parting gift.

So when Afghan civilians massed around those final troops at the airport who are on their way out the door, the air cover is there to presumably drop bombs on them? If you think what happened is bad PR, I can't imagine how that would be received.

If you're leaving without a viable government in place, there is no way to prevent a Saigon-type moment when the very last people leave. There just isn't.

So, DT gets 5,000 Taliban prisoners released and now wants to complain of incompetence. He probably just needs to STFU.

 

[NorthDallas40]

They’re just making it public. They knew he was a clown when he was Barry’s VP and wouldn’t trust him with getting the food order right on a working lunch.

He's needed to STFU for a long time now. But this is Biden's f-up.

I still have trouble understanding the logic of Obama picking him as his running mate to begin with. He didn't help him carry a big swing state. He wasn't popular with the progressive base of the party, where lots of Obama's support came from. Perhaps he was supposed to add some "elder statesman" gravitas because Obama was relatively young and inexperienced at the time? I dunno.

He's always been thought of as something of a dolt in DC circles. A very effective politician, but frequently out of his depth.

Who would he have taken Killary? We would have had the first POTUS in history commit suicide!

But at the time he was viewed as a moderate, a pacifier to the middle part of the electorate. That was his rep in public anyway. I’m sure everyone knew he was a useless idiot which probably also played well since they knew he would just wander around aimlessly

 

[StarRaider]

Blast her all you want, but the Afghan mujahideen became the Taliban.

ok tiger high

 

[Sandman 423]

In what regard?

American's wanted out, we're getting out and suddenly everyone's appalled at the sht show that's being left behind.

Monday morning quarterbacking at it's finest.

Of coarse Americans wanted out, but I don't think that they should have expected the pull out to be executed so poorly. It isn't Monday quarterbacking when the game is still going on.

 

[ClearwaterVol]

You see it differently?

 

[Velo Vol]

Yes.

We are laughing at fools with their "it ain't so bad" or "how else could it have been done" takes.

I get it, it is about as well as you could have seen it going if you were in charge.

 

[Caculator]

What's the word on the thousand-ish Americans that I heard were scattered about the country as Operatives, translators, missionaries, etc?

Convert or die

Convert or die

Nah, joe will have a plan.
