Biden Is Desperate to Regain Bases, Intel, Allies He Threw Away in Afghanistan

LOLOL Had NOTHING to do with the Muslim Brotherhood. The tribes hated Gaddafi for 40 years. His military, police and body guards were all foreign mercenaries because Gaddafi was terrified of them.

You really need to get an education. Your lack of knowledge of current events and recent history is just astounding.

Called it. Can’t dispute the story so whine about the source. Neither one of those two articles about passports being confiscated is from National Review. Way to show you didn’t even look. Keep digging...

No matter how you twist the facts, you still can't get it right, Surada.
We have citizens over there right now and can't. That's a fact.

People like Surada will still be parsing reality when we begin to see Americans beheaded on video. They are being sought out actively and the actions of this regime in DC - paying to satisfy their enemies - won't be enough to stop the videos being released. Watch him and others make excuses for it.

There’s an ironic statement. Total lack of self awareness here.

Ironic you might think but factual nonetheless.

Incompetence piled on top of incompetence is the game of the dipshit's [mal]admonistration.

And why Milley is still ChairJCOS is amazing.

​

Presidentish [sic] Joe Biden is desperate to get back what he gave away in his badly bungled bugout from Afghanistan, as revealed in a new AP report.​

​

The AP puts the best spin on the story it can, only briefly mentioning in the lead what it politely calls “the backdrop of the troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.” But as it turns out, the Joint Chiefs chair and China hack Gen. Mark Milley “is meeting in Greece with NATO counterparts this weekend, hoping to forge more basing, intelligence sharing and other agreements to prevent terrorist groups from regrouping.”​

​

The missing context: We already had all of those things prior to Biden’s petulant decision to fully pull out of Bagram Air Base.​

​

In recent years when I wrote that it was time to give up nation-building and other feel-good efforts in Afghanistan, I never dreamed anyone would order every last American and NATO troop out of Bagram.​

​

Reduced footprint? Sure. More burden-sharing with our ae force3d to give thesellies? If at all possible, of course.​

​

Keeping a token force at Bagram meant being able to keep an eye on the local bad guys with global ambitions. That’s without much risk (we had one combat fatality in Afghanistan in all of 2020) or expense. And without relying on a mostly mythical “over the horizon” strike capability.​

​

A few guards, some service troops, some drones, and their supplies.​

​

That’s all we needed in Afghanistan to make sure al-Qaeda or ISIS couldn’t metastasize there yet again.​

​

Now we need to negotiate with countries that no longer trust us to regain the things Biden was in such a rush to throw away.​

​

So Biden is desperate enough to try and start from scratch because these negotiations make it clear that this “over the horizon” capability requires a lot of intel and assets much closer than that:​

pjmedia is hardly a reliable source. We were forced to give them up because Trump drew down troops rapidly and against the advice of our military. Trump was going to completely withdraw yet you criticize Biden for doing the same thing.
