In the very near future, 5 days or 10 days it doesn't matter, but everyone that "we" care about will be out of Afghanistan. If the Taliban and Isis is smart they would hope there will no retribution owed them by us.
And the ones WE care about will be dead thanks to YOUR president.
Of course. The Leftist elitists and Biden don't care about what Americans want anyways, so what makes you think Biden needed to ask Americans for their approval on this topic? Furthermore, Biden has taken Trump's America First and shot steroids into it with the way he has disregarded our allies and partners.
The majority of Americans wanted out.....period. Biden would have had to expend political capitol for a surge in Afghanistan.....something he could not afford given the closely divided congress and his agenda. I am not arguing that he botched it....he did. But this is what the situation looked like. There were some warnings but nobody thought the Afghan Govt would collapse in 11 days. They were wrong, and that includes Biden.
Most Americans say the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were not worth fighting
The public is more concerned about the threat caused by domestic extremist groups than those from outside the country.
And the ones WE care about will be dead thanks to YOUR president.
I remember when Trump was inaugurated people said how terrible he was going to be. His supporters ask them to wait and see how he does and give him a chance. Perhaps some of that indulgence can be used to give our president till the 30th of August. I have a feeling that the fun will over for quite a few on here. The rest of us Americans will take a drink to the end of a war. The two politicians who traveled to Afghanistan to pile on might wind up political cassualties. I would ask them how many people did they bring back?
Alot of the Trump people are disavowing there own plan....they all screwed this up including Biden
Trump officials back away from 2020 Taliban peace deal after withdrawal chaos
Nonsense!! Sure there will be no shortage of Leftist Propaganda rags desperately trying to spin this thing. And sure, the Military Industrial Complex wanted to stay forever. A lot of generals aligned with the Military Industrial Complex wanted to stay forever. War hawks throughout the US government were relentlessly pushing back on Trump trying to keep us in Afghanistan forever. They even lied to the Commander and Chief of our military on several occasions so they could keep troops where Trump wanted to get out of. But the American people wanted out forever ago and we're all sick of having our troops in Afghanistan, the graveyard of empires. Trump did what the American people asked and setup the withdrawal. Biden FUBAR'd it.
Logical progression:
Tell the Taliban, "We're leaving. If you f-ck with us while we're leaving, we'll come for you with everything we've got."
Get US citizens out.
Get Afghani allies out.
Gradually pull back military, bombing the crap out of anything the Taliban might find useful.
Once everything else is out, pull out air support and military last.
Biden did that in reverse order while completely skipping item 1. Trump gets credit for getting the ball rolling. Once he announced we were leaving, it would have been a huge electoral poison pill for Biden to stay indefinitely. Biden gets all credit and blame for how the withdrawal went.
PS: I'm not a "Trump person" but I'm also not blinded by partisan stupidity. It would have gone a lot better under Trump because the Taliban knew better than to f-ck with that guy.

A sweet sentiment. The action on the ground will tell a far different tale and the slaying of civilians good people true to the USA will leave a crater in which flowers may never bloom again.

That is Biden.
Perhaps I will get a chance to "quote and gloat" after this thing is over.
In a briefing to congressional staff, the State Department said that 4100 American citizens are still actively seeking to get out of Afghanistan, a Senate aide tells me. Not all the Americans are located in/around Kabul. The US has evacuated approx. 4,400 Americans already.

I pray I'm wrong.
