Oh, right, that isn't same experimental therapy treatment Trump's Team is so proud of now. Maybe you're thinking of the bleach/clorox therapy he touted.

As this administration works through its plan to divert blame for the withdrawal disaster to Trump, remember that the Taliban broke the ceasefire only after Biden pushed out the May deadline, which was explicitly intended to make the withdrawal “his own” in order to claim credit.

The very fact that he moved the date of our withdrawal to September 11 illustrates the cheap political motive behind the change, which the Taliban used as its excuse to resume hostilities.

It’s true the country would eventually return to Taliban hands, but don’t kid yourselves. Trump’s withdrawal plan was condition-based, and the Taliban had an incentive to meet those conditions when we had a President who would MOAB them.

This administration owns this disaster.

Everything must come from the US, especially oil.


Now that the US is out of Afghanistan, you would think they would be ecstatic and clamoring for the US to do the same in every other "s**t hole country" around the world.


Conservatives should be kissing Biden, thanking him for continuing Trump's policies.
We got out of every deal that was taking advantage of us. We don’t like isolationism. We just aren’t going to be the worlds suckers anymore thanks to a president who had the balls to call them out on the crooks they are were. Now our president is owned by many of them snd he has THEIR best interest at heart.

A great, straightforward, honest speech, delivered without fanfare or frill, and quite honestly the best thing he has done since taking office.

I was impressed and relieved, which ain't easy because I am a Libertarian Conservative.

He never said that seriously. It’s as phony as saying that Palen said she could see Russia from her doorstep. Never happened. The left loves making things up.

But we need to withdraw in an orderly manner, not leave behind valuable military equipment to our enemies, and we need to evacuate those who have helped us to protect them. No one in the next military conflict will be willing to help us. We have no credibility now. I have little doubt Afghanistan will again be a threat to world peace and our own national interests via terrorists basing themselves there in the future. Armed with our own equipment at that.

Not at all. Trump got us the vaccine. Unlike the stepford wives Dems, we don’t do everything our leader tells us to. While Trump suggests we get HIS vaccine, he also understands there is a freedom of choice to decide if we want it or not. He believes in our freedoms and liberties unlike crooked Joe.

I never cared, but I will always feel sympathy for people who suffer.
Just glad it ain't us.

The liberal media is now claiming Americans will forget about this very soon.

How the hell do you forget about people dropping from planes, 6,000 deployed troops, millions of refugees during a pandemic, and a new Islamic emirate being propped up by Russia, China, and Pakistan?

This will have lasting effects globally.

Stop worrying about what is said and look at what is being done! I can’t believe we still have people falling for the old “politician gave a good speech” routine. We have abandoned American journalists behind enemy lines. People will be tortured and die because Biden choked.
