I just got off White House briefing for Congress concerning Afghanistan.
Joe Biden is a FOOL!
* The military equipment and arms were left on purpose for the Afghan military to supposedly defend themselves. But they have handed it all over with no resistance.
* 5,000 prisoners have been released from the base. Known terrorists.
* Our border is wide open and out of control. These terrorists can easily make their way to the US.
* The Taliban is in full control and ISIS is there as well.
* Trump defeated ISIS and Biden is to blame for their imminent rise.
* Turkey and Pakistan are going to soon move in to “stabilize” Afghanistan.
* Over $1 trillion in spending, over 2,000 Americans lives lost, and over 20,000 injured and maimed over the last 18 years for absolutely nothing.
My love and support goes out to all of our military members and veterans of Afghanistan, and also especially to any family who lost a loved one. God Bless our Gold Star families.
Like I mentioned before, we are actually in worse position than in 2001.
Then we had the Northern Alliance, ready to fight and controlling significant part of Afghanistan.
They were all incorporated into the Afghan military and neutralized. So now we have nobody!
She’s telling you straight up! Deal with it!
Yes we do. The horror of watching people hanging of of the skids of our helicopters is ringing my brain. The word got out about an hour ago that the Airport was under attack and Americans who remain should take cover in place. In other words, put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye. (Before they lop it off).
Someone should have asked, "Whose side will those 300,000 Afghans fight on?".
Afghanistan has been unworthy of attempts to make something of it since Zoroastrianism was replaced by Islam.
If only we were smart enough to have voted for PeeWee Herman!
Biden’s malfeasance and Biden’s incompetence are both at fault for the cluster he makes of everything.
What help is available elsewhere? What were you expecting?
At least MTG is actively trying to save America, and she has a pulpit to get out the word.
Of course, it’s easier to sit back and do nothing but criticize.
No way Taliban supports atheist communists. However, they want to continue Afgn’s development and will support whomever assists them.
Well, everything Marjorie says is true, but look at the bright side.
At least there are no more mean Tweets.
Remember this the next time all the neocons on here that voted for the guy talk about how mean Trump was
Pelosi would compare the takeover of Kabul to the 1/6 MAGA protest, and Schiff would start impeachment proceedings on Trump.
I don’t think China gives a chunk of week old tofu for Taliban preferences either.

Semper Fi La Plata, at least our new generation of Vet’s aren’t spit on and called baby killers when they returned, but yeah they know now how we felt then.

This isn’t all Biden’s fault, but I’m sure he is culpable for allowing this known pull-out to occur.
We have suffered since WWII by not declaring war and being too concerned about “hurting innocents” and “nation-building”. Neither should matter.
We should’ve bombed to hell all of the Arab world and then left them to fester for themselves. Deal with the damage done. No helping. Especially with Moslems. They will never change based on their religion.
