The exit was ugly but it was the right thing to do. If anyone should resign it would be the military officers and intelligence people that have been telling us that Afghans would fight for their country if only we gave them enough money, equipment and training.
Exactly. It's been reported that the reason the Afghan Army didn't resist is because the Taliban had been negotiating deals with many tribal leaders behind the scenes. Don't fight us and in return your tribe will get this or that after we take power. So how did our intelligence miss that?
And notice how he yelled some parts of his speech for emphasis. Guess maybe some of his speech coaches think that if he ACTS strong enough maybe some people will believe that he actually IS strong. (I think that the reason he was late was because of the rehearsals.)
So theres a speech at 345pm and you were already criticizing and whining about it before noon? When people tried this under Trump, it was nothing but constant heartburn from this crowd. At least actually hear it first before going on and on about how much it sucks.
*new episode of a show to premiere at 8pm tonight*
*you at 130 in the afternoon*
"It'll be great to see how they spin this terrible episode to salvage the rest of the season. You can tell they wrote the script a day before. Let's see what new writers can actually do for this show. Lets play a drinking game: everytime the main characters says 'darn tootin', we drink."
No wonder youre not going to enjoy the new episode, youre already whining about it before it comes on.
Biden still doesn't get it. He has no idea what's going on, he's trying to CYA. Why is he turning his back on all those the Afghani supporters and Americans still there?. They aren't safe.
No country will believe America again. We can no longer be trusted. South Korea, Taiwan, Germany, etc. you are all on notice.
Blame Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld. No one said we had to occupy the place
It's equally the fault of Neocons and Neolibs. Both groups are warmongering empire-building a-holes. If the Dems weren't just as bad, we'd have been out of Afghanistan under Obama. Obama kept us there for all 8 years he was in office.
