In no particular order he blames:
1) Members of Congress - Both sides.
2) Liars in government, particularly generals and those in the intelligence services.
3) The military industrial complex who fleeced the taxpayer for 20 years.
4) The MSM parroting the propaganda, many connected to defense companies. He says the corruption runs deep.
5) American citizens for accepting it and not rising up.
Agree or not?

We could have gotten the same results if we had left in 2002 or 2005. Or 2011, after Bin Laden was dead. Most effective if we had left in 2002, after scorching and salting the poppy fields.

I blame Biden for how it ended.
To: RandFan
Like Biden, he’s confusing the issue. It’s not a question of whether or not we should leave; it’s a question of HOW it was done. And the blame falls squarely on Joe Biden and those who committed fraud to give him the presidency.

The US war on Afghanistan was not lost yesterday in Kabul. It was lost the moment it shifted from a limited mission to apprehend those who planned the attack on 9/11 to an exercise in regime change and nation-building. He's probably right. The odds of turning Afghanistan into a decent country have always been slim.

It absolutely Biden's fault and the Paultards for pushing to get us out without assurances the Taliban would overrun the country.
Paultards are isolationists that want to bring back Bill Clinton's foreign policy and that was as big as disaster as the neo-con foreign policy.

RON PAUL SAID “9/11 BOMBINGS” DURING HIS FAREWELL SPEECH 10 YEARS AGO.

The reason the US lost is because it allowed/protected the practice of Bacha bazi (Male-to-male pedophilia, yes folks our own government, Bush administration all the way through Trump the Biden).
Even God has vengeance for the poor victims that our government looked away from. Guess what, the Taliban hates that practice too. Once Bush admin captured provinces of Afghan the powers that be reinstituted that "practice" as a means of appeasement. Taliban hated that. Clown World, our US culture is f'up more that certain aspects of the Taliban it seems..

“In no particular order he blames”
So far, everybody but himself...
there’s a lot of wisdom in George Washington’s farewell address where he stated that we should not become entangled with foreign governments or interests.
There’s a reason he said that. We have completely disregarded that advice time and time again. Perhaps in today’s modern & complex society it is really no longer a factor that could even be considered, but I’m not buying it because we never tried to follow that advice from George Washington.
