    It appears to me you are confuzzled, how did you get this way? Links?
    Biden broke the "treaty" made by the previous administration and that's why things are very bad right now in Afghanistan.
    Biden is absolutely incompetent.

    By setting the date he made it unconditional? How does that make sense? Or......I think you're throwing in the towel on your claim.

    No, I did dispute it because you can't provide anything from anyone to back your position. You're simply making things up and claiming they are true while I have already posted articles that have military people saying we can still support air cover until the 8/31 deadline date.
    Any fallacy is on you.

    Nope the Joint Chief of Staff and Sect of Defense said biden was given 3 options and in April he decided on this option and it's contingencies. He chose this route even said he owned it. He had options and choose to get the military out before thousands of our citizens and embassy staff was evacuated. God at least Joe owns it unlike the progs on this board.

    It would have taken less time on your part to just say "I don't know".

    Oh, so now the MSM isn't fake news.
    Are the Afghans begging to get on the planes the ones that helped us or just ones wanting to get out of town.
    I'm sorry but are there or are there not planes leaving as we speak with people aboard. Talk about not seeing the light.

    No, I was very clear and precise in my post. What do you need a link to that a simple google search can't help you with.

    Biden has a lot of success with his own policies….

    I’ve read it, reread it, tried to comprehend it and hurt myself :wall:

    The one that comes to mind is when Biden told Central Americans not to come.

    Any other successful Biden policies that you can name?

    Make up your mind. Did he tell them not to come or did he say we have open borders. Get your act straight.

    Do you think you can prove Biden didn't break the treaty Trump made with the Taliban in 2/2020 with Google?

    Google is on the downslide. I remember when they were crap, then around 2006 they got good.
    Then they bought up a bunch of servers the internet runs through (That should NEVER have been allowed)
    And they have been on the decline since around 2007.

    That's possible...I don't see the contradiction. Joe was certainly responsible for the actual withdrawals at the end. I believe there were 2500 troops left when Joe became President and he has increased that to around 4-5K to cover the withdrawal. Did the Trump administration have an actual withdrawal plan? I don't know. Pompeo could tell us.

    Snip…


    The Biden State Department moved in June to cancel a program overseeing the protection and evacuation of American citizens stationed overseas in the case of an emergency, just as the Taliban was taking over Afghanistan, according to an internal State Department memo obtained by the Washington Free Beacon and multiple sources familiar with the matter.


    The Biden State Department moved to dissolve the Trump-era crisis response program, according to an internal State Department memo and sources familiar with the matter. That memo, which was marked sensitive but unclassified and was signed by Deputy Secretary Brian McKeon, approved the "discontinuation of the establishment, and termination of, the Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau (CCR)," a new State Department entity created during the Trump administration to coordinate emergency response services overseas.

    European officials dismayed by Biden's decision to follow Trump's lead on Afghanistan

    BARCELONA — Thanks to the chaotic, U.S.-led withdrawal of NATO troops from Afghanistan that has ushered in the swift return of the Taliban to power, many Europeans are blasting President Biden as no less misguided and clueless than they believed his predecessor to be.

    “In the big picture, Europeans are as angry as Americans about the tremendous loss of money and lives spent on the NATO mission in Afghanistan over the past two decades that now seems very difficult to justify,” Dave Keating, a Brussels-based journalist and senior fellow with the Atlantic Council, told Yahoo News.

    They’re also angry, he said, “that they weren’t consulted about the withdrawal plan and were treated as an afterthought even though this was supposed to be a NATO joint endeavor.”

    Meh, the UK is sending out patrols to pick up UK citizens but Biden can’t be bothered.

    Read some of my other posts. I don't want to be redundant.

    Or you could try to use Google.
