We were continuing to reduce our risk and our footprint there. I hope that they continued down that path...

My guess is that the incoming administration saw what Trump was doing and knee-jerk reversed course, just like they did to so many other things Trump was doing (Keystone, border wall, etc.)

Without thinking or asking what possible effects it could have. Petty, shortsighted fools.

Biden is trying to lay this off on other Presidents.

Biden was part of one of the Leaders that is responsible for Afghanistan. His eight years and eight months. It was Obama/ Biden that called Afghanistan The Good War and pumped tons of money into it.

When Trump said he would bring American forces to the Mullah’s house, the Taliban leaders knew he meant it.

He had already unapologetically wiped al-Rimi and al-Baghdadi from the map.

Trump plowed over and got his way with Nato, the UN, Kim Jung-Un, most countries in South America, Mexico, Canada, Saudi Arabia, China, thumbed his nose at the middle east by moving the Israeli embassy, and threatened to blow various countries off the map.

Trump has more testosterone in his little finger than the past two Presidents had in their whole bodies...combined.

How much you want to bet some of those cretins packed up and moved once they left the negotiating table?

God, I miss Trump.

President Trump is awake more than 6 hours a day. He is also very intelligent.

Biden, not so much.

Yep, every day for the “Biden” administration has been Seinfeldesque “opposite day” — whatever the Trump administration had been doing with regard to any issue had to be wrong/bad/inept/racist/sexist/homophobic, so the new administration would reverse course. And hasn’t that strategy been a smashing success across the board??

Would you want Biden to be awake more than 6 hours a day?

The first we heard from Biden was that this was HIS idea. He made the anniversary of 9-11 the ending of the withdrawal.

Someone must have wised him up to the love of Anniversaries for staging events by these Muzzies, Benghazi being the best example, and he changed the date.

It seems he forgot about maybe talking to the Taliban and warning them of consequences if they did not honor the agreement. I suppose just to do the opposite of what President Trump did....because that how Biden's mind works.

Remember, the only reason that Biden was chosen as VP was because of his international experience, something that Obama had “0” knowledge.

We were very clear about the things we were prepared to do to protect American lives.

Kind of like what happened in Lebanon after western people were being kidnapped or worse. I think the KGB sent that message about Ruskies and the result, after the first one was killed, ended the problem for them.

So juvenile.

I’m a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall Michael - if he is to be shot in the head by a police officer, or be found hung dead in a jail cell... or if he should be struck by a bolt of lightning - then I’m going to blame some of the people in this room; and then I do not forgive. But with that said, I pledge - on the souls of my grandchildren - that I will not be the one to break the peace that we have made today.
