President Biden to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11

[struth]

Should have been done ten years ago

That's when Obama and Xiden were saying it was a war of necessity and increasing troop presence. It's possible we could have pulled more troops out and helped continued efforts to establish the democratic govt...but...the foreign policy blunders of the Obama/Xiden regime were in full force

Twenty years fighting an unwinnable war is enough.

What a bone head. This is clearly all for optics but is completely idiotic given what is going on with Russia and Chinese aggression. This will prove to make be a disastrous decision. Our enemies LOVE this guy.

Biden’s handlers are trying to destroy the country quickly and they just need to continue to payoff the useful idiots that voted for him to sit back and watch it happen.

Biden wants to withdraw all 2,500 US troops from Afghanistan by 9/11: senior defense official

Looks like Islamic attacks will begin to ramp up in the US now.

It had been slow under the Trump years.

Then again, do they really want to destroy a government that is destroying the country faster than they could?

I hope this happens but I have my doubts.

Xiden seems to be following the same failed model that his former boss did with Iraq. We saw what happened after that bonehead move....ISIS, terror, and a woke and empowered Iran.

I will say though....this move by Xiden has done what he promised....and got bipartisanship moving in Congress...bipartisanship against Xiden's move.

Bush had already signed the SOFA and installed Maliki.

Do you understand that Maliki was a Shia and lived in Iran? Iraq has a Sunni majority? That's the reason that ISIS came to be .

Whether the popular President can succeed in extracting the U.S. from the bloody quagmire remains to be seen.

Dubya's hapless three-trillion dollar pratfall into Afghanistan has persisted for 20 years.

The Former Guy on Afghanistan:

As a private citizen and a presidential candidate, Trump waged war on the idea of any major expansion or extended involvement in the Afghanistan conflict, blaming "very stupid leaders" for prolonging the battle.​

​

Between 2011 and 2015, he tweeted nearly 30 times about the Afghanistan war, calling for a swift end to a conflict he deemed a lost cause.​

​

"Let's get out of Afghanistan. Our troops are being killed by the Afghanis we train and we waste billions there. Nonsense! Rebuild the USA," he tweeted in January 2013, using the wrong demonym for Afghans. The same month, he called for a "speedy withdrawal."​

​

​

Do not allow our very stupid leaders to sign a deal that keeps us in Afghanistan through 2024-with all costs by U.S.A. MAKE AMERICA GREAT!​

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 21, 2013​

We have wasted an enormous amount of blood and treasure in Afghanistan. Their government has zero appreciation. Let's get out!​

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 21, 2013​

In November of that year, Trump tweeted: "Do not allow our very stupid leaders to sign a deal that keeps us in Afghanistan through 2024-with all costs by U.S.A. MAKE AMERICA GREAT!" He added hours later: "We have wasted an enormous amount of blood and treasure in Afghanistan. Their government has zero appreciation. Let's get out!"​

​

President Trump has been calling for an Afghanistan war withdrawal for years — and might contradict himself now

Trump’s most consequential decision so far as President could become one of his biggest self-contradictions.

In October 1963, when Harold Macmillan was handing over the prime ministership to Alec Douglas-Home, he is supposed to have passed on some advice. "My dear boy, as long as you do not invade Afghanistan you will be absolutely fine," he said.

Is Afghanistan really impossible to conquer?

So pathetic to use 9/11 as the date. Just get them the fuck out.

Democrats are political when they take a shit.

 

[basquebromance]

as we leave, we've left behind a bigger mess than when we went in

but enough about Hunter Biden's love life!

 

[Dana7360]

Here is something I can totally agree with.

Ending the 20 years of war in Afghanistan.

That war never should have been started or fought. The bush boy should have treated bin laden and his band of terrorists as the criminals they are like Clinton did with the Twin Towers bomber.

If he had handled it properly, hunt down the terrorist and either kill them or put them on trial then in prison, so many people would still be alive and our nation would be much better off.

Hopefully the republicans won't get in the way of ending this totally unnecessary war.

Biden to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by 9/11

All forces will be withdrawn by September 11, 2021, the 20-year anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

America never cared about what i call the X factor in this war: the feelings of the Afghan people!

 

[Moonglow]

The Trumpet peaceniks should be happy.

 

[odanny]

The Trumpet peaceniks should be happy.

They would be, if Trump was the one issuing this order, but since it's Biden, expect considerable caterwauling.

 

[Mac-7]

The Trumpet peaceniks should be happy.

I am

 

[Moonglow]

The Trumpet peaceniks should be happy.

I am

I am too we should have never gone just like Iraq a waste of blood and gold.

 

[Blackrook]

I don't believe Biden will really withdraw the troops. He will lie and say he's withdrawn the troops, and the media will repeat his lie, but I believe he will actually keep troops in Afghanistan.

Another Barry Hussein failure, huh?

Yep. Pure political theater. How would you like to be the family of the guy who gets blown up on 9/10 so Pedo Joe has his photo op on 9/11?

 

[basquebromance]

if young, fit JFK couldn't win Vietnam, how will old senile Joe win in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, and the other 98 countries we have wars in?

I doubt it. Most people left or right believe this war has gone on way to long, even if they were for it at the beginning.
