Top Dem: Biden plans to stay in Afghanistan past May 1 deadline
Responsible Statecraft ^ | March 24 | Matthew Petti

The Biden administration is planning to keep U.S. forces in Afghanistan past an agreed-upon May 1 deadline to withdraw, the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee said Wednesday to a panel hosted by Foreign Policy.

“It’s a general feeling that May 1 is too soon, just logistically,” Rep. Adam Smith (D–Wash.) claimed, citing conversations with administration officials. “You cannot pull out ten thousand plus troops in any sort of reasonable way in just six weeks.”

Under the terms of the Doha Agreement signed with the Taliban in February 2020, the United States is obligated to pull its forces out of Afghanistan by May 1 this year.

“You cannot pull out ten thousand plus troops in any sort of reasonable way in just six weeks.”

Hey Dipshit, Jan 20 to May 1 is a lot more than 6 weeks.

“You cannot pull out ten thousand plus troops in any sort of reasonable way in just six weeks.” Nonsense. The British pulled out over 300,000 in eight days from France.

Bidet needs to get on a plane and go to Afghanistan before he can stay there.

Biden couldn’t survive the trip TO Afghanistan let alone stay there.

But that’s not a bad place to park him.

How else are you going to steal money from them if the troops aren’t there?

Because the Taliban reacts well when they are lied to.

Tell the guys at the logistical command that they can’t do it in six weeks. Tell Gen. Semonite that he can’t do it.

The hostile JoeBama regime always keeps American troops spread out all over hell and gone so that:
1) they can’t protect Americans and the US borders
2) to prevent them from organizing and rising up against the unconstitutional, illegal regime occupying the Whitehut.
They DON’T CARE how many troops die in foreign countries OR how many Americans die from bio weapons they paid the CCP to develop and release. They didn’t care about Benghazi either and they LIE about everything!
