President Joe Biden stated Wednesday that there was no way for the U.S. military to withdraw from Afghanistan easily, an apparent contradiction to what he told Americans to expect ahead of the withdrawal.Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan remains among the lowest points of his first year in office, leading to the deaths of more than a dozen U.S. service members and abandoning more than 100 U.S. citizens under Taliban control alongside tens of thousands of Afghan allies. Prior to the withdrawal, Biden told Americans the operation would be safe and orderly, but

Next year, the House should impeach him for Afghanistan. Then Joe will understand that there were better options.

Sure it was Joe's decision, BUT there was a room of advisors, generals, secretaries that should have seen what was coming. At that point, instead of saying "yes, Mr. President", they should have taken him in custody to removed from office. Those very same people in that room should also be blamed.

I was fascinated by his generous $600 million in advance military equipment to the Ukraine. The Taliban, which Poopy Pants Joe gifted $85 billion in advanced equipment, must be rolling on their cave floors laughing at such a paltry amount. Joe gives to our enemies and is stingy with our allies. Typical Democrat.

If Republicans do not make the Afghanistan debacle one of the most important talking points going forward they are fools. This is an issue easily understood and one that Americans really care about. Biden betrayed everyone with his horrific decisions except our enemies, those he threw a huge bouquet to. A betrayal like this warrants impeachment. If 2022 goes the way it is expected to go, Biden will be long gone before 2023. They will replace him so that will prevent any action by Republicans to hold him responsible. It is an indictment of the media in this country that they have gone totally dark on the horrific situation that Biden left Americans to cope with. He should go to jail for such total incompetence. We all know that will never happen, but it is what he deserves. Each time you watch him try and get through a speech or press conference, remember that he sentenced Americans to death and who knows what else at the hands of our enemies. He doesn’t even have the decency to attempt to rescue the ones left behind. And he stands feebly behind that microphone speaking jibberish while families are giving the loss of their sons and daughters needlessly just because this corrupt old liar stole what he could not win. I could not ever hold anyone in more contempt than I hold Joe Biden.

He ordered Bagram Air Force Base to be abandoned. It was not turned-over to the Afghan military, it was abandoned in the middle of the night without telling allies. Military equipment and weapons were left to the Taliban without being disabled, booby-trapped, removed or destroyed. Biteme and his official spokes-idiots kept saying that there would be not Vietnam-style chaotic evacuation, yet that is exactly what it was. None of this debacle was coordinated with NATO countries that had troops and assets in-country, angering our allies. Biteme claimed that none of his military advisors recommended keeping a few thousand troops stationed in Afghanistan to support the existing government and keep the Taliban under control with the threat of troops surge and resumption of hostilities. His advisors contradicted Biteme's claim. There has been no investigation to see who is lying, and nobody has been fired. This was Biteme's operation and he needs to resign or be removed from office.

Abandoning Bagram Air Base in favor of using Karzai Airport was clearly the better choice and much more defensible, right?

The murdered and tortured people that Joe left behind in Kabul beg to differ. The Army could have pulled every last one out of there and closed Bagram a few weeks later after setting up thermite or white phosphorus traps under all of the military equipment they left. This action was deliberate and the US Military did it knowing that it was a stupid and cowardly thing to do. Hopefully all of these fat phony generals are sent to the Ukrainian front to die as their countrymen did when Putin decides to call Brandon's bluff. FJB

Biden you cheater, you blew it. Pure and simple. Incompetency at its best. Kamalie was the last person in the room with you when you made up your feeble demented mind and sought her very uninformed opinion. The chaotic surrender was classic dim and classic you. And you spent too much time talking to your overweight, wokester, pencil-pushing, butt-kissing generals Millie and McKenzie.
Leaving behind a treasure trove of military hardware, missiles, and munitions to appease the tollybon was an embarrassment to our country and the world. How many Americans are still in hiding in Afghanistan, pal? Any idea how many Afghanis have been beheaded or otherwise killed since you cut and ran?
Little wonder why Putie has no qualms about invading Ukraine. Lucky you that the msm continues to conceal Kamalie's and your many failures. Impeachment and conviction next year? You betchya. Billary, don't be licking your chops as to a possible opening here. You and BJ are going down - so Ghislaine says.

No one is complaining that it was hard. People are complaining because it was done by a bunch of amateurs without much, if any contingency planning. It was a train wreck like everything else this administration has executed. The loss of life should have been minimized, the loss of military hardware should not have occurred at all and in the end, the US looked like a bunch of weaklings running for the exit. It did not have to end this way.

Response # 12‘s comment “they are fools” says the whole truth. Not only fools, but dysloyal or traitorous fools, with few exceptions. They haven’t supported the most able man we could have had as leader. Now look at the mess we are in. Bizarro world.

Just like Obola claiming he didn't have a 'magic wand'. Incompetent!
But President Trump managed to fix the employment/treaty/trade issues and had things set in motion to get out of Ickystan without leaving Americans and $84B+ worth of military gear behind.

There was no choice but to leave Afghanistan without giving the Taliban a modern air force, billions of dollars worth of military material to equip its army, and leaving tens of thousands of Americans and Afghan allies while bringing back a hundred thousand unknowns and potential terrorists? Mr. Biden is truly unqualified to be President of the United States.

Anyone who followed the humiliating and incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan has those images burned into their brains for life. Even if Biden did apologize for his blatant stupidity it will not bring back the 13 brave souls who lost their lives because of him. He would be better off keeping his mouth shut. His pathetic excuses are lame and offensive.

Let's not forget the upper echelons of the military who blindly went along. I recall reading that that guards were posted at the airfield to prevent our people and cooperating afghanis from boarding the planes.
When I was in, only 'lawful' orders needed to be obeyed, although repercussions could be serious.

Yesterday, Joe Biden tried again to blame Donald Trump for his own unforgivable decision to pull out of Afghanistan by August 31. That date was conditional, and because the Taliban had not held up their end of the bargain, a delay would have been appropriate, and life saving. A delay would have provided the US with enough time to evacuate all American and Afghan translators and their families, and transport billions of dollars worth of military equipment out of the country. But that was asking too much of Team BIden, and his military advisors.
President Trump would NEVER have gifted the Taliban with $60 billion in advanced US military equipment, on August 31, or any other date. Nor would he have abandoned our own citizens and their Afghan translators and families to be hunted down by the Taliban. The fallout from Biden's "election" continues, with Afghans on the edge of starvation. What a legacy!

Millay allowed the enemy Taliban to control the perimeter, and to decide which Afghans could go through the checkpoints. One would think a general would know something about the importance of perimeters.
We may be faced with internal filthy islamofascist terrorist pig attacks for decades to come. And we did it to ourselves, by allowing the Taliban to make those decisions..

When 0'Biden abandoned Americans and those loyal to the USA's goal of Liberty in Afghanistan, he set his course of destruction for America the Beautiful. He even exposed that dem pol agenda when he chose to ignore existing Immigration Law by enticing illegal aliens to overwhelm American's sovereign borders and then even distributing them wherever the dems want throughout the country in stealth. Also, the dems thought their plan to steal America was full proof at the polls but in their haste they have run into a roadblock: the American citizens who cherish the USA and our love for Life and Liberty.

On Afghanistan, Obama got it right. Never under estimate Biden's ability to (foul) things up. This explains all he accomplished this last year.
The destruction of energy independence and a spike in fuel price when he canceled the XL pipeline and drilling leases,
The surge in drugs, illegals, criminals and human trafficking when he opened our boarder with Mexico.
The inflation resulting in Trillion dollar pork spending in the infrastructure bill.
The botched pullout from Afghanistan.
The constant slanderous attacks on anybody that doesn't agree with him.
The imperial draconian mandates.
No other President in our history has created so many disasters in so short a time. This is not an accomplishment to be bragging about.
