President Trump had the exit date scheduled for May 1st...the date agreed to by the Taliban.

In other words...Biden had nothing to do with the agreement and pushing the date to 9-11 2021 will become a photo op. Biden is a doofus.

Yes, but someone must still DO the withdrawl. Setting dates and laying the ground work are important. Trump certainly deserves credit for it. But Trump should have done this during his presidency. It would have been a great talking point when he was up for re-election.

And you can tell that it is the absolute best thing for the U.S. because people like Inhofe, McConnell, and Graham are opposing it.

and the Taliban are pissed and have threatened to attack our troops if we do not abide by our May 1st agreement.

Biden is going to escalate the conflict again to take credit for Trump’s achievement. The Taliban has not attacked US troops in nearly a year. Biden will fix that.

“mission accomplished”. The propagandist media sure hammered Bush on that phrase...now it is a good thing?

No one in the government was going to let Trump do anything. They probably even contested what he could eat for breakfast each morning.

Biden’s freeing up more troops to put into Syria. It’s a never ending cycle.

While I’m glad we’re getting out of Afghanistan, why would Biden schedule it on 9/11? This just blows my mind. The Muslims will forever treat this as The Great Satan’s surrender on one of the most auspicious dates in their history. Is this Biden “taking a knee” towards Mecca?

So does this mean we have won the hearts and minds of the Afghan people?

If after 20 years you haven’t won yet, it’s a good bet you will never win.

The military will be directed elsewhere.

Biden is a doofus.

True, but all decisions being touted as "presidential" are actually coming from someone else. Biden is suffering from cognitive decline. No way he can process what's going on.

But, Xi? O'Bummer? Jeb Bush?

Somebody behind the scenes is telling Hapless Joe to sign on the dotted line.

Author counting chickens before they even hatched?
I mean, gee, maybe we ought to wait till 9/11 to see if in fact BidenIdiot removes the troops from Afghanistan before even remotely asserting ‘farewell to a forever war’? You think!?

The lion's share of 9/11 hijackers were Saudi. None were Iraqi or Afghan.

Something to keep in mind as fingers point at the Taliban and elsewhere.

My non PC Afghanistan peace plan.

1. Withdraw from the sh!thole.
2. Let them fight until they get strong leaders.
3. Bomb the leaders while stirring up in fighting.
4. Repeat as necessary.

Both SloJo and Pat don’t seem to realize that wars don’t end when you stop fighting. They end when the enemy stops fighting.

Just about every news article ignores Trump’s role in this. They only talk about Biden ending America’s longest war on 9/11/21.

It is all for show and the nation is duped once again.
