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.
It is EXACTLY like the end of VietNam.
But frankly I never trust Moslems, so I don’t have too much care for the refugees there.
Thanks and Welcome Home, brother!
What do you want her to do? The whole system is gone.
In the absence of us paying them and backing them up with air strikes they won’t fight at all, at least not against their fellow Afghanis.
The Taliban have owned that country from the start and as long as they let the Afghan Security Forces go back to their villages with their heads there’s no way they’ll fight.
That deal was cut years ago.
Remember this the next time all the neocons on here that voted for the guy talk about how mean Trump wasThe neocons are loving this.
More business for their defense contractor friends and more kickbacks for them.
Life is good!
Thank you for your service to our Country and to all of our Veterans and their families. May God bless and protect our active duty military.
“...since Zoroastrianism was replaced by Islam...”
Yep, I think both indigenous sides in A’Stan support Islam.
Neither support Western Civ too much.
We should had the Northern Alliance capture Kabul and form a new country. Then allow the Pashtuns and rest of Afghanistan join Pakistan.
Fox News is guilty on all counts of remaining silent (to this day) on the election fraud they watched happen in real time, right before their eyes.
The only words they spoke that night was an early call of "Arizona for Biden", before the polls closed, with people in line to vote.
Fox News and all who work there have blood on their hands tonight.
All who work their includes Tucker, Hannity, Laura, Bongino, Geraldo, Juan, (so called) Judge Jeanine, Watters, etc...ALL those pretend patriots stood/stand silent. They should rot in hell for what's happening to this country right now.
I'll bet you thought Trump was Hannity's friend too.
Spitzensparkin1, LaPlata and Mosaic........God bless each of you and all of our VN Vets and your families. I lost a friend there.
I am of that era and recall volunteering to work with a man named Charlie Wiley, who supported our VN service men and women. He organized a parade in NYC to support our military but City would not give permit to walk down 5th Ave. Can’t recall exactly but we did march down a street in NYC. Lost track of Charlie...a good, patriotic man.
The situation in Afghanistan is disgraceful. Praying for fellow Americans, those who helped us ....and, frankly for the Afghan women.
Yes, that would be a good idea.
Put Northern Alliance in charge, in whatever way, and get out ASAP.
The Northern Alliance did most of the dirty job, and right after the win, we basically disbanded them and put them under the Pashtun run government.
Basically, we betrayed them, for our “nation building” ideas.
B is already treasonous for enabling the invasion of the United States (by illegals) rather than protecting the states from this invasion.
I remember when Saigon and Cambodia fell. College students in the US had candle light parades in support of the communists.
Someone I worked with at Farmington NM wondered whom the next war would be with. I thought on it and said...”the moslems”.
I later found that many older people also felt islam would be the next war zone.
I was in the USAF from 1966-1969. Okinawa, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand.
I remember you telling me the story about Farmington. You knew then and now we’re seeing it again.
Me: VN combat vet.
Grew up in Durango and Abiquiu. You know those places.

Thank you very much, 4integrity!
Pashtuns never had their heart in the government of Afghanistan because their allegiance was to the Taliban. So when we left, Pashtuns warmed up to the Taliban with open arms. It’s what they wanted. Other tribes weren’t in favor of their rule. But this time the Taliban have their soldiers up in the region where the Northern Alliance used to rule to prevent them from reemerging.
Yes, after the original win, our only “achievement” in Afghanistan was to dismantle the Norther Alliance. The only local force, which could stand up to the Taliban.
Noooo. The Tollybon would never think of buying tickets to Juarez and walking across the border. Never.
Now harsh words for CNN, MSNBC and the rest?
And the “rumor” still floats that what’s happened since the election has been ALLOWED to happen as a means to demonstrate to the dumb asses among us in both parties that the deep state and its marxist minions are even more evil than Trump told us they were. As Biden and his the deep state cohort continue to drive us to their living hell, they are not just making his point but IMPALING us on it!
If the poles are even close, it seems even some of the dumb asses are figuring it out: The mid-term election may be the Democrat bloodbath we need to put decent people in Congress.
And Trump IS a student of Sun Tzu: “When strong, appear weak, etc.”
Just sayin’.
I think he may just be rubbing our noses in the mud.
