I’m sure that will be a great comfort to our allies.

Trump's plan was to be out by May not to take time to get out.

The Afghan Govt and heads of military ran out of their own country.

We could do no more.

He made a huge mistake, and he is being universally condemned for it.
Don't discount the possibility that these are paid posters.

There is plenty of mineral wealth to attract invaders too. Quite frankly China can never be a superpower unless it flexes its muscles. Only making and building economic relationships is not becoming of a superpower.

But I am ok with this speech. Let's see if it's just hot air.
Agree - good speech. Trump could have made it and likely would have.

We've been there far too long and spent far too much blood and treasure. Totally unrealistic for anyone to think this could have ended with everything hunky-dory and smileys in every direction.

Now....we have to be smart and close our borders at every port of entry - not the least of which is our airports. Should have been the first thing we did post-911....instead we humiliated grannies from Sioux City with intimate searches to show how PC we were.

Tragically, we know that closing our borders is the last thing we'd ever expect from this President.

Kamala is still being hidden due to her mismanagement of the illegal alien crisis on the southern border. She can't afford being tainted with this mess.

Obama gave fantastic speeches and yet he gave us 8 years of nothing. Biden shouldn't even have had to made this speech had he done it the right way. The bottom line is Trump had a better plan in place. To start SLOWLY removing troops in May of this year and slowly dwindle down the amount of troops needed. We also weren't going to be so chatty about final dates.


Then along comes Biden, who like with everything else, had to scrap a solid plan because he hates the color orange, and needed to do it his way. So he pushes the date back yet announces it to the entire world giving the Taliban MONTHS to prepare for this. Then both Biden and our wonderful Generals like that clown Milley, just allowed our troops to leave all sorts of military equipment behind in multiple cities, allowing the Taliban to strengthen their army. Then comes the icing on the cake: Biden reassuring all of us that a takeover wouldn't happen.


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it did!!!! Now a Taliban leader is Afghanistan's president, innocent people are being slaughtered, and 20 years of war and restoration was all for nothing. Gone, in a matter of days. This should've never happened, and your "wonderful President" allowed it to happen.


Sorry, but Biden is failure, and this moment definitely solidified that even more.
"he bottom line is Trump had a better plan in place." LOL Trump plan: Peace Deal in feb 2020->release 5000 taliban prisoners-> Talbian attack kundaz in march 2020. Ya buddy good plan.

Interesting…. The Biden Afghanistan debacle the gift that keeps on giving

TALIBAN THREAT General Milley warns of terror threats to US homeland after Afghanistan falls to Taliban & US ambassador flees Kabul


JOINT Chiefs of Staff chair Mark Milley warned of an increased threat of terror attacks on US soil after Afghanistan fell to the Taliban on Sunday, according to a new report.

Milley told a bipartisan group of Senators on a call earlier today that the Islamist outfit captured the country far quicker than President Joe Biden and other top military leaders had anticipated, Axios reported.
