Afghanistan will go down in American history as a failure of a similar magnitude as Vietnam. Where this differs is in its legacy. We don’t know yet what new threats might rise from Afghanistan, what new 9/11s will be planned there.

The world is less safe today, President Biden. That’s on you.

9/11 was also planned out of Florida and Germany. That is the nature of terrorism. The jihad of migration has already taken over America and will continue to sweep thru.

“I personally had discussions with top Taliban leaders whereby they understood what they are doing now would not have been acceptable,” he said, noting that if he was still president, he would have focused on a “conditions-based” withdrawal.”

PDJT knew what he was doing, and how to do it.

The stolen election of 2020 has been an unmitigated disaster for America.

What did we hope to do there? Turn it into a Western democracy complete with I am Jazz and Desmond is Amazing? Launch an invasion into Iran from there to bring about The Rapture sooner? Kill Osama bin Laden? What was the goal? Was there ever a clear one? Maybe Liz Cheney or Kevin McCarthy can educate us on what the plan ever was. I guess John McCain no longer can. Did this thing ever make any sense after the first few months?

(George Bush) betrayed this country! He played on our fears. He took America on an ill-conceived foreign adventure dangerous to our troops, an adventure preordained and planned before 9/11 ever took place!

If this century has taught America anything, it’s that Democracy cannot be imposed on others.

Ours started as a republic. People call it a democracy nowadays but I think it's becoming an anarcho-tyranny state.

At least no one can say we didn’t leave it exactly like we found it, except for all the weapons and improved infrastructure I guess.

I think if I controlled the taliban I would probably blow up the US embassy on the 20th anniversary of 9/11.

Maybe the Taliban will destroy the poppy fields, like they originally intended.

I guess it might depend on what China and/or Russia want to do with them. They might want to keep afghan heroin pumping into Europe and Canada.

What difference does it make? She never answers a substantive question anyway, and her press conferences are pretty much ‘window dressing’
