Kinzinger: Trump was naive on Afghanistan, Biden acted without a plan
The Hill ^ | 08/19/2021 | OLAFIMIHAN OSHIN

Posted on 08/19/2021 10:54:29 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) on Sunday called out President Biden and former President Trump over the fall of Afghanistan, saying the actions and policies of each leader contributed to the government's collapse.

In a statement on Sunday, Kinzinger criticized the “shortsighted, weak, and utter failure" on both administrations for letting the Taliban take full control of the country.

“The naïve Trump Administration legitimized the Taliban by having ‘talks’ with them about peace and openly negotiating with terrorists, while the Biden Administration tried to fulfill a campaign promise without any semblance of a plan or forethought into how this would play out,” Kinzinger said.

Hmmm, I remember the Legitimate Government of Afghanistan in 2019 ORDERING the US Troops to leave the country. This resulted in the negotiated plan by Trump in February 2020 that would be completed in 14 months, or May 2021. Seems to me that ONLY Corrupt Senile Joe is the one that couldn’t follow a plan.

Me: Kinzinger thinks he’s Pelosi’s BFF, but he’ll soon learn the meaning of the term “useful idiot”.

This guy wouldn’t be on the news unless he criticized Trump. He is too stupid to figure it out.

No, Biden had a plan to give red carpet treatment to the Taleban in terms of PR in public humiliation payback against America ...

Remember when Hillary was not applauding the Bush speech after 911? Or when democrats were angry at Trump for taking the pull out initiative? There, that was the “orange man bad” payback.

Biden made zero effort to make the Taleban think not to behabe otherwise... just like the girl next door leaving her door open “by mistake”.

kinzinger is just one of those libtards groomed to pretend to be conservative and run with an ‘R’ after his name. But votes the ‘right way’ when the chips are down. Can we play Cowboys and Marxists yet?

PDJT: “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.

Or:

Kinzinger doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, but won't miss a shot at Trump.

Trump had conditions, and would’ve held the Taliban responsible if the conditions were not met. Biden had nothing.

Kinzinger is not an expert on these matters, he’s a loud mouth attention getter who hates Trump.
