    The ex President could not have prevented any different outcome. It was actually the ex President who set the current events in motion by recklessly drawing down troops too fast and ignoring all of the warning signs.

    This war was never going to end well. As of this date, there have been no US casualties and minimal loss of life.


    Let's deal in facts. This is what Joe said before he created the shitstorm.







    I'm tired of your excuses. I'm tired of Biden's broken promises.

        ... President Biden made his July decision on the best US Intelligence reports available. None of those reports indicated a high likelihood that after 20 years of support, the Afghan army would collapse so fast.

        Again to-date, no US casualties vs stay and fight and incur US casualties.

        President Biden is doing what he promised and what the last four US Presidents failed to do. President Biden is withdrawing the US from its longest never ending war.

          You're wasting your breath. These are the same people who would be whining if the troops had stayed and started getting killed again.

            I know that you love team Democrat but your refusal to place any blame whatsoever on Biden is boarding on insanity, IMHO. The entire world is criticizing Biden while you cheer him on. It's nuts.

                Exactly! Truly insane to stand behind this guy.

                Not sure about you, but I am witnessing a surge in "biden supporters" who are now expressing DEEP regrets about voting for him. Friends and Family included!
                Not just because of Afghanistan, but many have said that this is the "straw that broke the camels back".

                The entire world is either Condemning him or LAUGHING at him.
                He has made America look weaker than it ever has (which was never), and has forced world leaders to re-assess whether America will be helpful to any cause.

                    Let's hold Joe to his own standard:




                    Biden 3/20/2006



                    "We have to hold people accountable for our failures. Rest of world looks at us & when we don't hold our own people accountable they wonder why they should follow us, our judgment. Everybody says Biden why did you call for Rumsfeld resignation..

                        ... if you work in the copier business long enough you quickly realize that often things do not go according to plan.

                        The same goes when you are talking about Afghanistan.

                        The real measure of an effective leader is how that person reacts to unexpected events.

                        You need to stop whining and recognize that the Biden Administration has quickly organized and executed the largest military airlift in history.

                          That's similar to when Exxon creates a big oil spill out in the Gulf and then organizes the biggest clean up in history. Pay no attention to the oil spill and pat Exxon on the back for the clean up.

                              ... there will be plenty of time for Armchair Quarterbacks to analyze what went wrong in Afghanistan.

                              The reality is that most polls show that most Americans do not really care that much about Afghanistan anymore and want their troops to come home.

                              The other reality is that President Biden put together a very effective evacuation on very short notice under very difficult and unexpected circumstances.

                                Biden's job ratings decline amid Covid surge, Afghanistan withdrawal in NBC News poll

                                "Summer of discontent": Biden’s overall job approval falls below 50 percent for the first time in the NBC News poll, while just 25 percent approve of his handling of Afghanistan.
