Yeah, it sure was nice to have a President that put the fear of God in those terrorists. With Biden they just sit around and laugh.

Yes I hope this will give the republicans a call to impeach his whole bunch aka administration . He is a clown , a clown and a senile old pedofile . He has the blood on his hands . Boy do we need a real President now today with brass ones and a spine . One who is not afraid to defend his country and his people .

Amen! I didn't like President Trump that much, but he was spot on with how to deal with terrorists.

No one put any fear in the Taliban you don't understand these people they have no value for life their heads are full of religious extremism they have no fear of death. Why do you think they are able to put suicide vest on and blow themselves up.

A crisis that he created. He chose the date. He decided to ignore or dismiss intelligence and military advice, unless you want to argue he forgot it. He decided the most crucial consideration for the pullout was making sure he could get his 9/11 talking points. He decided to continue ignoring advice and let let the Taliban give us a freaking “line in the sand”.

He shouldn’t be our president. I didn’t like Trump but I would rather have a million mean tweets than have this. And, where were you when it came to supporting our president in 2020 during our pandemic “time of crisis”?

I'm happy we aren't in a war right now.

I'm happy this didn't happen under Trump's presidency. It was a falsehood that he "wiped them out". They were biding their time, waiting for a more stable president in the US, and now we have this. But we don't have a world war.

They feared a nuke from President Trump. Now they're telling President Biden what he'll do. BIG DIFFERENCE!!!

Yeah, you're right. Biden is better skilled in foreign relations than Trump could ever hope to be.
