But yes, I agree our military needs to step it up and get our people out of there.

How exactly did you all imagine this was going to turn out?

Did you think the State Dept., which had been gutted during the previous administration, was going to rise to the task of processing thousands upon thousands of Afghan applications? And exactly how many Afghan immigrants would you like coming to the U.S?

Once we pressured Pakistan to release Taliban founder Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, and negotiated a withdrawal agreement without the Afghan government's involvement, the handwriting was on the wall.

I always find it funny that the leftists applauded when Biden reversed every Trump's domestic and foreign policy, except for the Afghan deal. Now they are blaming Trump? LMAO

These leftists have no shame. I would love leftists and DNC use this "Trump's Afghanistan fiasco" for their political ads in 2022 and 2024. It will blow back in their faces.

So please answer your own question.
You think they post it on social media or in the press?

Actually that wouldn't surprise me one bit from this administration...

It's like you just post random sentences, unrelated to the topic then claim other people are failing in logic.

This is exactly how most thought it would turn out. That's the issue. That's why this scenario was the point of all press questions to Biden's crew before the event. It was only Biden that pretended it wouldn't be like this, and now that it is a cluster, is trying to pass the buck.

So called "smart people" like to stick to professions where they don't keep score because they don't like being held accountable for when they end up wrong. Its why they often end up as consultants, politicians, or in the media. Many of these so called experts never even practiced hands on in the field....they were hired because of their piece of paper from Harvard or wherever.

Don't forget to add to that list "teachers and college professors".

I have a feeling that I am going to be mostly absent from C-D for a while. I can only take so much madness. First, COVID and now THIS.
