| The sad part is a 10 year old could have come up with a better plan. You can't tell me that the rest of the Dem's didn't know this was a c*** plan. I think it's thier way to use the 25th amendment to get rid of joe and get harass in. Who cares how many American's or Afgan's get killed or held hostage as long as the Dem's hold power, Congratulation Joe you just made the Taliban the 5th largest army in the world with a air force. Great job Uncle Joe but at least you don't tweet. TIME TO BUY MORE AMMO |

I am guessing they took the equipment from Partner Forces when the Taliban lodged their offensive to regain Afghanistan. The Taliban had been gaining ground since March of 2020 when the United States quit offensive missions. In my opinion that was the right move because enough of our men had died for the Afghans. However we were keeping a footprint in Afghanistan to ensure America would not be attacked again. I do not know how much of a footprint but Trump did also want to bring all our troops home. But Trump ( unlike Biden) actually listened to his advisors and let them call the shots ( General Scott Miller) Biden was warned and he should of known and he had been listening to the guys on the ground he would of known.. Maybe he did know...and didn't care? Who can tell since the man is barely coherent. Not trying to be disrespectful but it is true. |

Biden cant commit to the rescuing of the Afghan translators that help and saved soliders lives, these men were promised a safe life and now they have been throw under the bus. And now they cant even guarantee the safety of the Americans that were left behind. I hope that all the people that wanted this man in office realize what a BIG MISTAKE he was to the American people, he left us weak and now put us all in a path for another terrorist attack. Prayers for all our soldiers going in on this rescuse mission doing what they can to keep people safe and the Americans that were left behind, for all the Afghans, they need all the help they can get.                |

Years ago he said the Afghanistan issue was not our problem & we should've never even been there to start with. Actually said "f*** that" about it. So it's no surprise he just abandoned it now |

He won't take a single question from a journalist. Just cuts and runs. |

Every time I see any news about Afghanistan its always so hot and dry looking there and never see any live stock, no grass, but yept goats can live on just about anything, so that would be a good sorce of food and milk, I didnt think about that, thanks Flint..  |

I did see one journalist standing in a field and you could see lots of livestock in the background. They were too far in the distance to see them very well but looked like cattle. |

I googled Alfghanistan and some really pretty places did come up, so there is nice places that you can raise meat animals on and grow crops. I gress they are just showing the bad side and very populated areas and desert looking places. All the miltary pictures that I have seen look like they are in a desert, we have friends that were serving over there and the pictures backgrounds looked the same nothing but desert and super dry looking. But since the Taliban took it all over and all the people are being killed I wonder how the food situation will be in a few months, and I wonder with all the Afghan people that are on the run and hiding what are they eating, food has got to be getting scarce for them. |

I dont believe much that come out of these two mouths ( Austin, Milley), they seem really lost when questions are being asked of them, I see them looking at each other (or who ever is there with them at the time) like what do I say now, they seem really lost for words and dont have a clue what to say, they just fish for words. I say shame on Biden, we should have been the first military group to be getting out the Americans, Hell the French and British DID NOT WAST any time getting their people out along with the Afghans as soon as they got to Afghanistan, as soon as they hit the Afghan air waves they were already getting their people out while the United States was sitting there twiddling their thumps not wanting to hurt the Talibans feelings by just going in and getting our people out of there, they where wanting to ask the Taliban for permission it seems!!! Shame Shame!!!!! |
