Two decades of trying to change hearts & minds with bullets & bombs comes to an ignoble end. Anyone surprised?

The Afghan army we spent $80+ billion to train and equip melted away in a matter of days without hardly firing a shot.

Yes, Afghans and Afghani leadership themselves bear the lion’s share of responsibility for not standing up to the Taliban. We gave them a fighting chance, they blew it. Now they’ll have to suffer the consequences.

Not our job to police Afghanistan forever.

LMAO

You mean is anyone surprised that Biden has totally screwed this up? Well now . . . Biden is notorious in Washington D.C. for always screwing up. Conservatives warned the nation about that very fact before the Left rectally inserted Biden into the Oval Office.

Trump actually set the timetable for withdrawal — a deal conservatives cheered at the time — and Biden carried it through.

The Afghan War is a bipartisan, multi-administration failure — always has been. Your attempt to pin it all on Biden is as lame as it is predictable.

Now try for some TRUTH instead. Trump presented a perfectly reasonable plan which Biden typically screwed all to hell during its execution because Biden is a perpetual screw-up . . . something that was well known about Biden before the Left 'arranged' to have Biden inserted into the presidency.

Both Barack Obama and former Decretary of Defense Robert Gates warned the nation in regards to Joe Biden back in 2020 . . . but leftists WANTED to put a mentally feeble dementia patient into the Oval Office anyway. Now THERE's . . . your truth.

Nope. The real truth is this:

The military-industrial complex pulled the wool over the eyes of the American public and four successive Administrations, always overpromising results, overestimating the Afghan government’s capacity, and fundamentally misunderstanding Afghanistan itself.

Over two decades the Afghan War suffered from mission creep and bumbled on as if by inertia since no President or general wanted to be branded as a “loser.” Again, note Trump’s timetable for withdrawal fell the year *after* an election.

Biden has seen it all — he isn’t a neocon, isn’t a pushover, and puts American soldiers first. He drew a line in the sand, told the warmongering generals asking him for yet another indefinite commitment of American blood and treasure without presenting a credible plan to win to take a hike.

—Obama never warned America about his own VP whom he endorsed and voted for. That’s absurd. Obama himself should have taken the chance to pack up and leave Afghanistan after the successful OBL raid, since Al-Qaeda is the group who actually attacked us, not the Taliban. That was the real missed opportunity.

—Trump I’m sure is off in a corner whining about Biden’s decision to follow his own timetable, but his carnival barking can be ignored by reasonable people.

—G.W. Bush and other conservative neo-cons like Liz Cheney are criticizing Biden, but they got America into this mess and again haven’t presented any credible plan to actually win the war.

There’s your truth, as much of it as you can swallow.

All the democucks tring to defend the incompetent idiot in Camp David basement

Notice that they are frantically trying to blame Trump for Joe Biden's screw-up . . . desparately hoping that the average political independent is just as inately stupid as the average Dem Party voter?

Oh sure, pretend yo cafe about Afghanistan when we all know you sycophantically cheered Trump’s “deal” with the Taliban, same as you sycophantically cheered everything else he did.

Multiple Administrations own this catastrophe, but no one owns it more than the Afghans themselves.

I care about all those U.S. lives of military personnel that Joe Biden specifically and embedded leftist incompetence in general just made into a mockery in the eyes of the world. Leftists SHOULD care about that as well . . . but then patriots and patriotism and the military are nothing that leftists have ever really cared about . . . except to spit on them whenever possible.

On the contrary, Biden put our troops first and told the warmongering generals to take a hike.

Veterans’ groups lobbied for this withdrawal. And Biden listened. They have a point. 20 years is a long enough war and the longest in American history. There are U.S. soldiers fighting in Afghanistan who don’t remember 9/11.

Hahaha! Talk about grasping at straws! Let's see how all those 'pro-Biden' veterans -- furious over how he screwed up the Afghanistan turnover -- vote during the mid term elections cycle, shall we?

Veterans are human beings and they have complex feelings about it, I’m sure, like the rest of us. They made the sacrifices. They’re entitled to feel however they want.

That said, more and more Afghanistan War veterans came to firmly oppose the war as it ground on with no end in sight and no clear path to victory, and they realized their superior commanders weren’t exactly being forthright about their chances.
