House hearing on Biden's failures withdrawing from Afghanistan

[Hollie]

You got more Splain’n to do

How is 13 Americans killed in a terrorist attack under Biden worse than any other terror attack that killed Americans?

The only splainin' needed is from Sloppy Joe and his thoroughly idiotic decision to withdraw the military before ensuring US citizens were safely evacuated.

Washington, D.C. – Today, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul questioned hearing witnesses to recount their experiences during the disastrous evacuation from Afghanistan and examine the Biden administration’s stunning failure of leadership.

“And then you said we made everyone aware on the ground, operations had halted, started again plain and simple – ‘we were ignored. Our expertise was disregarded and then lastly, no one was accountable for our safety that day,'” said Chairman McCaul.
“That is correct, chairman,” replied Sgt. Vargas-Andrews.
“No one was held accountable?” asked McCaul.
“No one was and no one to this day,” said Sgt. Vargas-Andrews.


Sloppy Joe created a disaster. It's what he does.

There weren't enough troops to secure the highway from Kabul to Bagram AFB...

All the more reason not to wait till the Taliban controled 90% of the country

The US has no jurisdiction over Americans abroad if they are civilians. Can't force them to leave. How stupid.

 

[Hollie]

What was Biden supposed to do to stop a terrorist attack?

Republicans gave Bush a pass for 3000 killed by terrorists on 9-11. Why do you condemn Biden for 13 deaths?

Typical, cowardly, "... but... but... but... but what about".

Sloppy Joe's disaster in Afghanistan has nothing to do with 9-11

Taliban were already in control.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

The Taliban wanted us out. They were not going to give the US an excuse to stay.

Correct, but since we broke the agreement, they started taking over the country with us still there. Had we left in May they would have been no where near Kabul

The attack that killed 13 soldiers and many civilians was done by ISIS
The same ISIS Trump bragged about eliminating

Correct, and it was made easier by the chaos a the airport which was a direct result of the Taliban controlling it and the whole city.

Had we left when the US agreed to, none of that would have been the case

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Taliban were already in control.

Of about 5% of the country. I have already given you the maps.

 

[surada]

Lol. Anyone can produce a map. The Taliban had already squashed the Afghan government and the military. They were the majority players.

Sloppy Joe's disastrous decision to pull the military before securing US citizens was inexcusable.

Lol How do you secure Americans who won't leave? You obviously don't know anything about expats or the law.

I am so embarrassed for you. There was a time when you were a legit, serious poster on here.

Somehow you have now been broken and have becomes the left's version of a Trumper.

The Taliban are Pashtun Deobandi. Neither the warlords nor the Afghan government or military have power over them.

There were no US troops to protect US citizens trying to get to the airport. Sloppy Joe left the Taliban in charge of security at Baghram.

No one told you the Taliban were Dark age throwbacks?

That's right. Trump pulled most US troops out by September 2020. The Taliban number 250,000. We had 1400 troops left in country. Damn, you're dense.

Revisionist history/Monday morning Quarterbacking.

The reality was that the Taliban was waiting and the Afghan forces were unwilling to fight regardless of when we pulled out.

Terrorists look for targets of opportunity. Our troops would not have stopped them.
