President Biden has defended the American troop withdrawal from Afghanistan even as the Taliban take over whole swathes of the country - and has blamed predecessor Donald Trump for a deal that left the warlords 'in the strongest position militarily since 2001'.He also announced that he was increasing the number of US troops being deployed to protect the withdrawal from the US embassy to 5,000.The US Embassy in Afghanistan will be evacuated in 72 hours under the protection of the military, and some staffers have already arrived at the Kabul international airport, according to reports.

He threw out everything else Trump did on his first day. But this one thing he kept? So that makes it Trump's fault?
Ooookaaaaayyyy.... he could just as easily thrown out Trump's withdrawal plan and did anything he wanted.
Biden chose to withdraw and chose this method. Own it.

A little over a month ago.......
Joe "Dementia" Biden
"“The likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely,” Biden said.
His handlers are probably giving him a new set of index cards to read.

Joey killed the XL Pipeline in his 1st hour on the job.....gasoline is up over 50% in price and now joey is begging opec to increase production to help lower price of oil.
Joey also terminated construction of the southern border Wall on his 1st day in office...now we have a crisis on the southern border with hundreds of thousands of illegals coming across with covid 19 being dispersed all across the country...notice the spikes in covid cases---that's where they relocated.
and inflation is the next event to rise up and bite joey in his rear end.
what's the guy to do?? Resign or just Die??.....................

We have special devices that will make large areas into green glass, in a flash, so to speak.

Afghanistan is a major defeat and financial disaster for the U.S. We spent trillions there, and got nothing but debts. Before 1970, we were still a creditor nation, and had not lost any wars. After that, we are hugely in debt, and have lost in Vietnam and Afghanistan. Our government is no longer checks and balances, but an executive tyranny, headed by an illegitimate president, and supported by a criminal Democrat Party, and acquiesced to by RINO Republicans. The U.S. multiculturalism and diversity has failed. We are no longer a nation, no longer have borders, no longer have citizens, or rights. We cannot trust our government, our military, or our police. Our standard of living is going to drop 25%. The ignorant will not notice it, but you will.

I wonder if the last thought that goes through an Afghan interpreter's head as he is about to get beheaded is whether he should blame George Bush or Cut and Run Biden?

Was there any valid reason to be in that country in the first place?

The picture of troops in the airplane being deployed does not look very diverse. Should be at least 40% non-white by latest count.

trump also stated very clearly that the type of action we see now by the tallywackers would be met swiftly by air strikes. Not by taking a vacation.

When have we ever had a Coward in Chief in cognitive decline run this great nation before? The Blame rests on Every Democrat who knows that the 2020 election was stolen and went along with the phony narrative. The Blame also rests on the Biden family members who used him to enhance their station in life. The Blame rests on the tiny little bit of cogent brain that Joe has left. I can go on, but we all get the picture and it's pretty grim.

So, now it’s 5,000. Who will be the last American to die in that shitehole due to Obiden’s stupidity? How about if Senile Joe takes AF 1 with the entire communist congressional delegation over there and help evacuate. They can put loyal Americans on the plane in place of their traitorous asses.

Trump's fault? Where's Bush? Mighty quiet these days, probably busy doing his paint-by-numbers.

He’s just taking after his former (and currently secret) boss in blaming his predecessor for everything that goes wrong. SSDD

Biden extended our withdrawal date. I believe that was a big factor in this fiasco because the Taliban had thought they would have this summer to gain control before winter made it much harder to campaign.
So, when Biden rescheduled our departure to late August the Taliban chose to attack before we were gone.
We all have to guess. Exactly what prompted the Taliban to strike before we had completely withdrawn?

What is going on in Afghanistan is not Trump’s withdrawal plan, it is Biden’s withdrawal plan. Trump has not been President for eight months. Neither Trump or Biden had any obligation to withdraw from Afghanistan in accordance with any negotiations that took place during the Trump era with the Taliban, because the Taliban never carried out their part of the bargain that they agreed to. Biden is trying to create a deflection from the debacle now ongoing in Afghanistan by bringing up an old media report that Trump invited the Taliban to Camp David to negotiate with him, so what, as the Taliban never came to Camp David. The war in Afghanistan was lost from the start because the USA was too weak and politically correct to use total war strategies and tactics designed to annihilate the brutal and primitive Islamist based Taliban. Instead the USA used incompetent limited war strategies, tactics, and rules of engagement that allowed the Taliban to survive fighting the USA for twenty years. Throughout most of those years the USA spent almost a trillion dollars and suffered a lot of casualties trying to transform Islamic Afghanistan into another Vermont that as we can see was a very expensive fool’s errant. All that is going on now in Afghanistan is reminiscent of the end of the Vietnam War.

It will be a miracle if we don’t have Americans dragged through the street like in Mogadishu.
