First question is irrelevant to the withdrawal disaster. Second question is a strawman.

The vast majority of people, according to all polls, supported an end to US troops on the ground. There was no bravery in making the call to follow on with the goals that Trump set in play.

We will never know the full truth of what happened over the last few weeks until the week long Ken Burns documentary comes out on PBS in 15 years.

Guess Biden could have deployed thousands more troops to fight both the Taliban and ISIS and settled in for another decade. Or maybe just bomb the entire country, killing everyone. Yeah, that’s a plan.
stop "blaming the victim" tactics. It makes the leftist dolts look so heartless. Anyway, why should anyone want to leave when you have this? The vote of confidence from the POTUS

There is no way he only lefts 10%. The rumour has it that there were only ~5500 Americans out of Afgh. SO, it means that he lefts ~500 Americans who want to leave and at least 4K of Americans in afgh do not want to get out. It makes no sense at all.

yep, keep in mind it was Biden that said he only left 10% behind

That would be the same Biden that had said he would leave no one behind.

That’s straight from Joe’s mouth. He said that on MSM tonight.

He also left K9s and Afghan western workers.

Good job Biden.

To the two Biden apologists on this thread.

This is not about any previous President. This is not 'war is hell.' This is not about any of your lame deflection tactics. Just STOP it.

What this is about is the utter IDIOCY of this administrations tactics in leaving Afghanistan.

We have 13 dead soldiers whose death is DIRECTLY tied to Joe Biden or whoever is pulling his strings.

These 13 brave Americans would be and SHOULD be alive if only the clown show in Washington had not botched this.

They DID botch this. Joe botched this. Americans are dead.....because of Joe.

You can deflect until your typing fingers are bloody nubs and NOTHING will change this fact.
