    A peacehawk, LOL, that wants to occupy a country in perpetuity. 20 yrs in Afghanistan and nothing will have changed. Nor will it ever over there.

    Yes, I do think you made it up. The taliban occupied most of the rural areas for the last 20 yrs. And much of the border.

    So, the thrust of your argument is that Biden moved the date so that broke the "treaty". All you have proved is Biden moved the date. The rest of your argument is fiction.

    In your mind perhaps.

    I assessed all the info and formed an informed opinion.
    You still haven't assessed all the info. Doubtful you ever will.

    "The Taliban has threatened to harm U.S. troops if there is a break from the May 1 deadline."

    They even waited 2 months before starting to take territory.

    Face reality: The Taliban own Afghanistan.
    Biden screwed up the withdrawal royally. Probably should step down in shame as the best course of action.
    We need to extract our citizens from there. That could lead to firefights and bloodshed.

    And? They did not control the bustling urban centers where most people lived nd in twenty years trying including since 2014 when the Advanced forces have been the frontline forces have not been able to advance and in fact been beaten back.

    Why is this better?

    Peace through strength, when have we had it without it. How long have we had troops in Europe, SK, Japan, Africa, SA and all over the world? Where is your demand we bring all of them home starting solely based on who has been there the longest?

    The Democrats running the Biden Administration did this.

    https://freebeacon.com/biden-admini...onths-before-taliban-takeover-of-afghanistan/

    Internal memo says Biden officials canceled Trump-era emergency operations bureau

    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.


    Welcome to worse.... much much worse.

    Our allies are not to sure that we should be trusted anymore.



    The Democrats have done more to hurt us on the international stage than anything in the last century. This is worse than Vietnam.

    Ok, so now you're saying that we should have been out by May 1 because of what Trump negotiated with terrorists and that somehow in a time frame of sooner things would have gone better AND you're ok with putting more soldiers in harm's way. Brilliant
    Right now things are being taken care of, I'll admit not the best, but Americans aren't dying which is what I care about.

    Again.....Biden cancelled something that had not existed yet. It's right there in your own post or do you not know the meaning of "establishment"

    Trump was clearly about protecting our people. Biden is about having the Taliban take care of it for us.

    You're welcome.

    There is nothing to take over? WTF are you babbling about now?

    What GB said is that they need to work closer with France, Japan, Germany, etc. and quit relying on the U.S.A. as they cannot be trusted.

    Again... you're welcome.

    That stems from the deal that Trump made. He released their leader from prison in 2018.

    More RW BS that has Already Debunked 1000x over...
    Behind the curve, much...?:bored:

    Did you even READ that link before you posted it?

    NOTHING was "Disbanded"...

    The Bureau was only PROPOSED (pending approval and funding).

    And, it would NOT have been functional until 12 to 18 months (at the earliest).

    THUS:

    How could it have helped the current situation in Afghanistan?

    Please do a better job of vetting RW BS, and Get Real.:flagus:

    You can thank me again after I correct you......again.
    You put a video of a GB vet complaining about the US withdrawal and how he feels "betrayed" yet his own country left long before we did. He never said he didn't trust the US.
    I honestly don't think you watch or read what you post because you don't get the point.......a lot.

    You didn't watch it, or English is your second language and you didn't understand it.

    I did watch it. It was a very good speech well delivered. It doesn't say what you think it says.
