Biden Deserves Credit, Not Blame, for Afghanistan

[colfax_m]

you mean that same military we knew would fail??

you wouldnt happen to have a link to that would you??

dont worry I will wait,,

Well, yeah. We knew they would fail. Doesn’t mean we make sure they fail by disarming them which is what it would take to prevent that equipment from getting into the hands of the Taliban.

About 1300 Items of U.S. Military Equipment Destroyed in Afghan Withdrawal

The Western official familiar with the packing up process said U.S. forces face a dilemma: Hand off largely defunct but intact equipment and risk having it fall into the hands of enemy forces, or trash them and anger Afghans.

lets not forget joe left them a fully intact military airbase,, complete with planes and blackhawks,,

 

[colfax_m]

What makes you say they failed?

If you haven’t been paying attention, we’ve been arming and equipping the Afghan military for twenty years. Their equipment is what we gave them. What do you think we were going to do?

You act cocky but you haven’t mAde a counter argument.

Whose airbase did we leave? Whose planes? Whose helicopters?

Yet again, they belonged to the Afghan military. I see you ignore this point.

Still missing the point I see. Weak.

My argument says instead of credit, Biden deserves a trial for treason and malfeasance of duty.

Nothing you typed was accurate. You knew that but typed it anyway. Wonder why?

It is spot on accurate. How does it feel to support the death and destruction caused by Biden's inept and self-centered delusion that because Americans wanted an end to war that they'd be A-Ok with him SURRENDERING! He left 89 billion dollars in weapons that are being used to intimidate and kill others. He gave the Taliban a list of the people that helped Americans so that they can hunt them down and kill them. He left our people. He even left our military service dogs. This is 100% Joe Biden's disaster and those that make excuses for it should share that guilt.

do you realize how pathetic you sound trying to deflect your guilt??

Seven months of Biden proves we were correct.

A calamity

A 20 year disaster in the making, and recent calamity on Biden's watch, that he and Military, managed to turn around and get 120,000 evacuated. They did extraordinary good.

And the military mission has finally ended...which 3/4s of Americans wanted.

Let's hope the diplomatic effort to get the 250 Afghani Americans out, that were not able to get out, goes well.

This from the Atlantic guy gets it:

America’s longest war has been by any measure a costly failure, and the errors in managing the conflict deserve scrutiny in the years to come. But Joe Biden doesn’t “own” the mayhem on the ground right now. What we’re seeing is the culmination of 20 years of bad decisions by U.S. political and military leaders. If anything, Americans should feel proud of what the U.S. government and military have accomplished in these past two weeks. President Biden deserves credit, not blame.

Unlike his three immediate predecessors in the Oval Office, all of whom also came to see the futility of the Afghan operation, Biden alone had the political courage to fully end America’s involvement. Although Donald Trump made a plan to end the war, he set a departure datethat fell after the end of his first term and created conditions that made the situation Biden inherited more precarious. And despite significant pressure and obstacles, Biden has overseen a military and government that have managed, since the announcement of America’s withdrawal, one of the most extraordinary logistical feats in their recent history. By the time the last American plane lifts off from Hamid Karzai International Airport on August 31, the total number of Americans and Afghan allies extricated from the country may exceed 120,000.

Biden deserves credit as surely as Trump is literally Hitler.

Do I sound pathetic to you or something with a scrap of honesty and credibility?

You merely ignore anything you don’t want to believe. You are a child.

Yes

I don’t think they realize that most of the Americans they’re talking about are the people they’re been trying for decades to keep out of the country, Afghan refugees and other immigrants.

 

[colfax_m]

Yes

I was about to say the same about you idiots who can’t even respond with anything coherent to legitimate points.

You just run away like pathetic little cowards.
