Robert Gates: Biden has been wrong on virtually everything......

[Votto]

As we watch Afghanistan fall to the Taliban at record speed, after Biden tried to convince us that would not happen, I am reminded of Obama's former defense secretary for the Obama administration Robert Gates who said that during his tenure in office, Biden was wrong on pretty much everything.

Gates Stands By Statement That Biden Has Been Wrong On Nearly Every Major Foreign Policy Question

Robert Gates, who served as defense secretary for the Obama administration, paused for a moment and said "I don't know" in an interview Sunday when asked if he thinks former VP Joe Biden would be a good president. CBS's "Face The Nation" host Margaret Brennan asked Gates if he stood by a...

Keep in mind, Biden voted to go to war in Afghanistan. So after decades in a Vietnam like hell, it looks as if Biden was wrong going in AND coming out. "W" went to war in Afghanistan, so it's no wonder "W" also voted for Biden who also voted to go to war there.

It is akin to John Kerry saying that there could be no peace deals with Israel and it's surrounding Islamic neighbors unless Palestine participated. But then Trump signed the Abraham Accord that did just that, showing the world once again what buffoons are in power now.



And while China evades ownership of the Covid Pandemic, along with building the up their military and ramping up their economy, they must laugh behind the back of Kerry every time he goes to China and talks about the need for them to engage in fighting global warming.

Nothing to debate on the OP, well said.

You should go over there and help them.

Gates seemed to think anyone his age could not be President.

He said he could not imagine trying to tackle that job at his age, and can't imagine how Biden could do it.

But the system has become, stick around long enough and be a good soldier and it will be your turn soon.

They system has become only crusty elitists can occupy the job.

 

[harmonica]

...his fk ups are endless

Help them what exactly?

So, I guess you and the other trumpers disagreed with his policy to withdraw on May 1? Trump set this all up to begin with. It would not have mattered what President order the withdrawal this would have happened. Happened with Russia if you can go that far back.

I don't get it when trump was Pres you trumpers were all for this I see not so much now.

I feel sorry for those over there and the ones who have lost their lives in the past 20 years but the government over there has been trained and ample time to take their country back.

Now, let's bring our money back to the U.S. and quit blowing it on endless wars.

Abandoning Afghanistan like this - right as the Taliban were gaining strength is a major scar in America's stature.
2 fucking months ago this fog brained President stood at the podium and said there is NO WAY the Taliban are organized enough to take over.
I have no idea who he was listening to as everyone around him said otherwise - and here we are. Just a few weeks after pulling out the Taliban have basically taken the country.
And his supporters could give exactly two shits.
If Trump was President, they would be screaming their heads off.

Do you remember the shit show the democrats had on stage during their 2020 primaries?
Clyburn basically told democrats to vote for Joe Biden as the compromise candidate.
In 2024 the dems will have another shit show, put a damaged 82-year old Biden up, or an unelectable Kamala Harris.

In 2020 US voters were duped by the biased MSM, criminal FBI, and deep state cabal, demonizing Trump and promoting Biden.
How the next 3.5 years unfold remains to be seen, I'm not optimistic.

 

[Lesh]

Wait ... so Biden should have reversed the Trump policy of pulling out...and Trumpers are pissed that Biden is following that policy?

Interesting. Not real consistent or honest though.

So how long should we have stayed in Afghanistan? Twenty years was apparently not enough.

Maybe we should make it a US territory?

You keep spouting propaganda calling people who do not vote Progressive Socialist Communist.......Trumpers. In 2008 John McCain was forced on Repub voters as an example. Many backed him up. He actually picked an outsider as a running mate who wanted to win but was not nationally worldly wise and was not helped by the party. McCain ran such a bad campaign that Obama had 60 Senators which was also part of cheating and a huge advantage in the House. At this point, there was a growing amount of people who were questioning W. Bush after 9/11.

You, are one dumb fuck and really do not make sense most of the time. Were you the op? Idiot.

1. Trump would have withdrawn during the non-fighting season, with threats of extreme violence if the US was attacked during the withdrawal.
2. Biden totally fucked up the withdrawal by assuming the AFG army was competent, he was wrong, again, and again, and again. You saw the video of Biden saying that the Taliban was no match for the AFG army.
3. We agree on ending all attempts at "nation-building" shithole countries.

 

[pknopp]

Whether right or wrong this is the moron that defended the Benghazi mess and has no business being quoted over anything.

 

[struth]

What's even more alarming is just how caught off complete guard the Xiden Admin was of how fast and strong the Taliban was.

Xiden, and the Dems, just complete failures.

Gates is 100 percent right on Xiden. Xiden has lost Obama's War of Necessity

How many Afghanistan threads do we need?

No, like so many other things, Xiden should have keep the Trump policies and procedures in place. A peaceful withdraw, long term goals...not a rapid withdraw, with out a plan in place, with diplomatic talks with the Taliban.

Sad day, makes our country look weak, but moreover, just the massive amount of our friends over there that will suffer from this, not to mentioned the women and children that will suffer as a result of the Taliban's policies.

Just cruel

I am sure being reminded just how big f up your vote turned out to be hurts....but frankly, you need to be reminded.

So Obama was a "crusty elitist"?

 

[Burgermeister]

Biden has been known, at least since the 88 election and probably before by those who had to be around him, as a lying, plagiarizing dummy.
