More like when, not if. I would expect they will rub our noses in our mess on 9/11 as well, thanks to Biden.

We will have many fold the 2,500 in Afghanistan for many years to come thanks to Biden's lack of planning.

Unlike the last 18 months, some US troops will die.

So I think Biden got this right on. You guys are latching on to this because it's pretty much the only thing you can legit attack him, but in a couple months I don't think most of America will care provided all Americans make it back safety, which I think they will.

.
Alrighty then. You are a chipper and cheery one ain't you just. Soooo. you believe the Taliban, perhaps the one terrorist organization that hates us the most out of all of them, will allow the opportunity to humiliate and hurt us more than any other enemy in our history has humiliated and hurt us, to just fly away into the sunset without so much as a nasty thought? ALL Americans are going to make it back safely because Biden says so?

Well, I must admire your optimism in the face of adversity. The Taliban see those American particularly the women trapped and at there mercy as the most offensive thing to their worm ridden vermin infested Prophet who commands them through the Koran to wipe all infidels from the Earth by whatever means necessary and you believe ALL Americans are going to make it safely home? You'll have to forgive me if I don't share your faith in Joe Biden and his entourage.

And this current debacle is the "only thing we can legit attack him"(sic). Well that's an interesting analyzation of things. The Mexican border, cost of living going into orbit, violent criminals running rampant our position in the world lowered to a point no seen since the nations founding all in 8 months but Afghanistan is the only "legit" thing he can be attacked on? No, not the only thing but perhaps the last thing.

That is all I have to say...

Do you really think he is making these decisions?

Someone is but I doubt it is him.

I'm still trying to figure out how he is able to keep the southern border wide open when we have Covid spreading. And why keep the borders open when right now we should be worrying about terrorism? Does Biden not want us safe from the virus and terroism? Sounds like he couldn't care less about us. All he cares about is power and people want to worship and support this idiot? Anyone and everyone that wants in our country can walk on in terrorist and all.... I'll never understand it and why this is allowed.

I want this guy to step down or be impeached. I dont' think Kamalalal can handle it either so we'll impeach her 2022. Get rid of both of them. Then whomever is president then can't do much of anything because republicans will have house and senate and we'll block all their crap.

All due to his incompetence.....and knee jerk reaction...ignorance of what was even going on

...and he thinks that's logical, rational, and right

dementia makes you myopic

This is what Biden promised last April > ""We will not conduct a hasty rush to the exit. We'll do it responsibly, deliberately, and safely. And we will do it in full coordination with our allies and partners..."

Biden now trying to cover his a$$......"The president also claimed the exit from Afghanistan would always be chaotic, despite promising in April that it would be “responsibly, deliberately, and safely” and not “hasty.”
“Let me be clear, the evacuation of thousands of people from Kabul is going to be hard and painful no matter when we started; when we began,” he said."

....People saying Americans knew to get out..didn't...and it's their own fault

need to look no further than the president they elected....he's the one that guaranteed their safety...Biden's the one that set all this up
That is a big problem. Biden is so far detached from reality that he really doesn't think he did anything wrong.

Biden is very, very dangerous if he really believes that.

They need to take the nuclear codes away from him.

Except, of course, the ones who are captured and killed by the Taliban while waiting on a rescue that shouldn't be needed. Not to mention the Afghani people who assisted our troops and are now being executed for it.

Sure, the Taliban have never and would never attack the United States. Especially after we left them enough military equipment to slaughter pretty much any opposition in the area.

I wonder if you'll feel the same when the Taliban sends a cell through our southern border (or sends them along with the Afghan refugees that we're flying over) and attack us on our own ground again.

The only legit thing? Not by a long shot. The open southern border, the trainwreck of an economy, the push toward authoritarianism that was supposedly happening under Trump but actually is happening under Biden. All are legit reasons for attacking Biden, and we're only 7 months into his presidency. He's guaranteed to screw up more. It's his modus operandi.

Truth is, Biden screwed the pooch. He left our allies hanging and armed a terrorist organization because he wasn't capable of planning for the worst case scenario. That doesn't surprise those of us who actually researched Biden before the election, because he has a long history of failure. For those of you that believed the bs coming from the media that Biden was capable and competent to be the president, though, I guess you better get used to running cover for the nitwit in office. It's gonna be a long 3+ years of lying and circumlocution to cover his blunders for y'all.

Joe.......for the umpteenth time. We all agree it was time to get out of Afghanistan.

It was not what you did, but how you did it.

Aside from a few of the more ignorant and immature members of the left on this site, you will see a significant absence in regards to participation backing up Biden (crickets have been chirping already for a week now actually). They know he screwed the pooch in a horrible way. They won't condemn him though, because that requires them to take the high road. Most will just stay silent and plug their ears.
