“I voted against the war before I voted for it after thinking about going without it, I went with it. Kind of.”

This is the kind of crap we expect from our politicians.

Of course she did, she knows how important it is to keep the free flow of HEROIN into the United States is. It’s not like we are just going to Give Back the Poppy Fields to the Brits again.

You Can’t have a WAR ON DRUGS without DRUGS and the CIA needs that Money too.

But we’ve got to keep US troops there so the Taliban can get paid by Russia for killing them! So Russia can reelect Trump, or something.

The link between drugs and crime, including violent crime, would be hard to overstate in Chicago. Eighty-six percent of adult males arrested in Chicago last year tested positive for drug use. Chicago, with a population of 2.7 million, had 506 murders in 2012, the highest per capita among the four most populous U.S. cities.

The scoop is that there were 17 RINOs that voted to stay in Afghanistan, not just Liz Cheney.

In general, I like Liz Cheney. However, on this issue she is just wrong. We’ve spent enough blood and treasure in Afghanistan - and the President campaigned in part on, and in part was elected to, get us out of there. How does a representative of that President’s party come back to constituents with a position that “your views don’t matter” - only mine does?

Let’s also try to remember WHY we went into Shitholeistan in the first place - because of 9/11 and the Taliban connection. Well, the Taliban isn’t in power, and even if they were, so long as we could with a high degree of probability forestall/prevent/disrupt any future attacks that were supported by the Taliban (and, of course, massively retaliate if such an attack actually took place), then the goal would have been achieved. In the 19 years since we went in there, their country has stood still or even regressed in terms of its capabilities, whereas we are not just far more technologically advanced, we’re also on notice to keep alert for attacks of the 9/11 type. Again, mission accomplished - time to go home and not be the world’s policeman (gee, isn’t that a conservative value?).

Trump has almost all of congress against him.. just because he does things different... and that’s why we voted for him. if I were Trump, i’d go on a rampage and name names... being nice doesn’t work with the dems.. and some of the repubs.

I’m just tired of masks... staying home.. stores not open or counting customers... i’m tired of the whole mess!

We need to take every Social Science professor in the US and send them to Afghanistan.

Give them a shelter half and a case of MREs.

Let’s have them use all of their knowledge to fix things in Afghanistan.

And I was having hopes for Stefanik after the Impeachment fiasco and her stand during the whole thing. Yea, a lot like Lindsay Graham fooled me during the Clinton Impeachment.

Liz Cheney votes with Democrats to stop Trump's withdrawal from Afghanistan

What is Liz Cheney's motive to continue US involvement in war(s)? Always follow the money.

OK Mr President, tell the fidiots you request authorization and funding to set 500,000 troops into the country to get it under control for a victory, see how that sits with these commies.
