I don’t disagree. Biden does own this dumpster fire of a withdrawal. It is on his watch, he is responsible. That does not mean I disagree with the withdrawal of forces. There were only two choices stay or leave. Biden made the choice to leave. The decision was his. The chaos that is ensuing would have occurred whether we left now or 20 years from now, but it is on his watch. He owns it.
The Afghans, for the most part, never gave a crap about democracy or the western way of life. The Afghan government was corrupt to the core. The question is whether it would have been better to have stayed and fought for a people that wanted nothing to do with us. Well, I don‘t think so, but that will be debated for years to come.
Stupid and ridiculous to say that chaos was a requisite for withdrawal from afghanistan.
All that was required to avoid chaos was 1. Biden not announcing a un-conditional withdrawal...for those a tad slow on the uptake--a un-conditional withdrawal meant no matter what the taliban did we were leaving.
Thus this stupidity of announcing a un-conditional withdrawal gave the taliban a green light to launch their offensive.
This is not rocket science folks yet I am sure several of the dumbasses on here --still will not get it.
2. He should have not set a deadline...because he had no clue as to how long it would take to get everyone out.
At worst he should have told the taliban we will move as expeditiously as possible to get every one out.
3. He should have left the military there until all the civilians were safely out--and then and only then withdraw the military.
Now, politics aside does anyone think the above is not just good common sense. You do not have to have a high i.q. to understand it...just average intelligence is enough.
Yet biden did not have the common sense to do the above.
That speaks volumes about biden's incompetence.
Now it is possible that joe relied on General Miley's advice or some other woke general who does not have a clue.
I hope not; I really hope our top military leaders are not that stupid.
I prefer to believe biden ignored advice from our military leaders and our intelligence agencies.
However, no matter who is responsible for the chaos the responsibility for it is owned by biden and no one else.
He even acknowledged that but stupidly still tried to blame Trump.
