Check the Cheney’s Bank Accounts.
I think he blames Congress because they fund everything and hold the purse strings.
Biden was a senator for seven years and the VP for eight during this war. He can take some blame.
As for the withdrawal, he owns it 100%.
Sorry, Dr. Paul, but I’m BLAMING BIDEN. Yeah, there’s lots of blame to go around, but let’s blame Biden. He’s a failed President at this point. It’s all Biden’s fault.
I agree, but I also blame Biden for how he created the tragic fiasco we’re witnessing.
Ron Paul predicted almost chapter and verse what would happen when America invaded Iraq and expanded the limited mission in Afghanistan. Sadly he was ignored at the time. Ron Paul is an American Cassandra.
It is particularly annoying to listen to Lynn Cheney try to blame Trump for this fiasco. Her father Dick Cheney was the prime mover of Bush’s neo con flawed foreign policy. His policies resulted in America becoming debilitated in two quagmires and the coming to power of the vile Obama and is cabal.
Good point.
I blame Bush.
From day 1 Afghanistan should have been a punitive expedition.
We go in, kill everybody remotely related to Al Qaeda that we can get our hands on, along with anyone who gets in our way, stack their heads in the public square in Kandahar, then leave.
But, no, we had to nation-build - with tribal savages no less.
It’s hard to disagree with Paul’s main points, but I’m still going to blame Biden for being a dementia-addled moron who had no idea in hell what was coming.
I respect Ron Paul and agree with much of what he says about the entire Afghanistan debacle (starting with GW Bush), but I’ll go ahead and blame Biden. It was possible to draw down forces in Afghanistan without turning it into a rout and turning the country over to the Taliban. Biden chose not to make that happen. He deserves every ounce of the blame for the lives that will be lost and for the consequences of making America look like a weak betrayer of its friends.
President Trump let the Taliban know if they so much as touched a US person or US affiliate in the wrong way, they would pay with hell fire raining down on them. The Taliban knew he meant business so they stood down. They weren’t going to mess with Afghanistan while Trump was President.
In 2020, there was not one, NOT ONE, firefight involving Taliban in Afghanistan.
And that is entirely to the credit of President Trump.
In a brave show of solidarity with the people in Kabul, Joe Biden is getting on a helicopter and running off to Camp David.
People on our side are quick to give the Leftist establishment cover. Paul will get to see his name in the news now, as the media shouts “See, there is a Republican that supports Biden!”
Somebody had to get us out of this mess, sounds familiar; but Joe, of course, was the wrong guy to run the operation. I get it, Rand, we had no business being there etc., etc. and so on...But, unfortunately Joe was the guy who was tasked with draining the Afghan swamp; and he blew it. No use, while we are up to our ears in crocs, in pontificating . I agree that Rand sometimes has a poor sense of timing; just ask his neighbors.,

Ron, not Rand.

Full Blown Idiot.
The Swamp Motto is - don’t blame Biden.
Mighty convenient.

Talking about the war with Afghanistan without talking about the "death to America" cult is like talking about the war in Japan without talking about Pearl Harbor.
