Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has rarely broken publicly with President Donald Trump, but the reports of a planned troop drawdown from Afghanistan and Iraq were enough to lead the Kentucky Republican to speak on the Senate floor lambasting the idea.
“Of course, all wars must end,” he said. “The question is now how they end and whether the terms on which they end are favorable or unfavorable to the security and interests of the United States. And nothing about the circumstances we face today suggest that if we lose resolve, the terrorists will simply leave us alone.”

And there were people on freerepublic who blasted me when I said I despise McConnell.
I think the ghost’s voice in The Amityville Horror said it best.
well it won’t matter in 2 months will it you ####ing fake.
I fell for your act too.
You won so what do you care what happens to Trump?
Things will even get back to normal (meaning tons of graft)
Backstabbing turtle ###.
Kudos to those who saw him as the self serving weasel he always was.
And always will be.
Doing the work the Deep State requires of these traitors.
You won so what do you care what happens to Trump?
C'mon dp0622... Trump WILL prevail.. you can see it coming!
Thanks Mitch, for pushing all those judges through during the pandemic.
But no thanks for what appears to be your nonchalance about Voter Fraud. You’ve gotten your re-election done, so you’re all set. Why should you give a jolly damn about Mr. Trump’s second term? You Mitch, are placing what your Lobbiests want before what the vast majority of Americans say they want.
Mitch had better focus his attention on the two Senate runoffs in Georgia that are about to be stolen — along with his Majority Leader position — the same way the presidency was.
The terrorists are in own own cities.
The question is now how they end and whether the terms on which they end are favorable or unfavorable to the security and interests of the United States.
It's been twenty years, McConnell. Three presidents have overseen the war in Afghanistan. A generation has been born and grown up. And we've seen thousands of Americans killed or maimed in this s***-hole country on the other side of the planet. When exactly will terms be favorable for our withdrawal? 100 years? Five hundred years? Never?
Where was McConnell when King Obamadullah was diddling while ISIS was rampaging across Syria and elsewhere, raping, pillaging and murdering innocent people?
Trump CRUSHED ISIS like a bug and THIS is the thanks he gets?
President Trump is the c-i-c, not you.
I’m sure if he wanted your opinion on the matter, he’d have asked for it.
MYOB, Mc Connell.
Betcha he plans on this being his last term and plans to retire after this.
“Excoriates” is too strong IMO.
Mitch is stating a valid concern that we are allowing China, who will benefit, a cheap price for Afghanistan.
I disagree with Mitch, but concede he has a point.
What should we charge for our efforts there?
I don’t know, but trust President Trump.
>> And there were people on freerepublic who...
LOL, those rascally FReepers...
I wouldn’t get so bent about McConnell’s rhetoric. He’s just placating the DoD supply chain.
Back-stabbing bucket of filth.
“Mitch is stating a valid concern that we are allowing China, who will benefit, a cheap price for Afghanistan.”
They should sell tickets for that fight.
President Trump is the c-i-c, not you.
I am a Vietnam veteran. I wonder where turtle was, when we rather unceremoniously left Vietnam? We can leave that Shiite hole Afghanistan.
Afghans have been selling their “control” to foreigners since Alexander. Or earlier LOL!
China needs Afghanistan for a land route to their European markets... it’s all fascinating.
