| "We're letting the Taliban run free and wild," he

I thought Joe Biden said: "The buck stops here." Why don't you let him
take responsibility? I don't know what if any experience you had with
the military, but one of the first things they teach you is to not give
the enemy anything that can be used against you. To do nothing to the
equipment when it became apparent that the Taliban was going to take
over the country, is outrageous. I cite the raid to kill Osama Bin
Laden as an example: One of the helicopters was disabled, and they
destroyed it before leaving so as to not help those trying to copy or
use it.

You don't have to be a genius to be president or a leader. You just
need to surround yourself with competent aids rather than political
hacks. Perhaps a little more concentration on military tactics rather
than woke instruction would have led to a better outcome?

So that means you don't care how much republicans lie. Sieves
hold memories longer than you--Pompeo has a good chance at
nomination.

I love how you liberals like to change the subject when responding to a
post. If you have no logical reply, change the subject. The problem
was Joe Biden and the Dems hated Trump so much, they tried to reverse
every decision he had made without considering the results of having
done so. Immediately upon taking office he signed executive orders
affecting immigration and fossil fuels. The result of that??? Crisis
at the southern boarder and recently a plea to OPEC to pump more oil in
order to lower fuel costs. Even after the FUBAR events in Afghanistan,
he laid blame on Trump for the situation.

Everyone will make mistakes during their life. The thing is to learn
from them, not refuse to recognize them. Biden was one of those
mistakes, it is time to flush the toilet!!!

He's taking responsibility, unlike ex-President Donald J. Buckpasser, who denied
responsibility for anything that went wrong during his disastrous term.

Trump's "Abandon Afghanistan Now"
plan was so bizarre even the military
was caught off guard by it.

Military blindsided by Trump�s new Afghan troop withdrawal
October 8, 2020

The Taliban welcomed Trump�s announcements,
which started with a tweet Wednesday saying
"we should have the small remaining number
of our BRAVE Men and Women serving in
Afghanistan home by Christmas." He reinforced
early withdrawal plans Thursday morning, in a
Fox Business Channel interview that understated
the number of troops currently in Afghanistan.

"We�re down to 4,000 troops in Afghanistan.
I�ll have them home by the end of the year.
They�re coming home, you know, as we speak.
Nineteen years is enough. They�re acting as
policemen, OK? They�re not acting as troops,"
Trump said.

America�s exit from Afghanistan after 19 years
was laid out in a February agreement Washington
reached with the Taliban.
