QUOTE: "If you look at the document and what we said, the idea was we're not gonna have a permanent presence in Afghanistan with thousands of troops. But, it was based on coalition government. . . . not a unilateral withdrawal within days with our tail between our legs."
Biden trusted mudslimes.
A Muslim lied? Say it isn’t so!
Another angle where it’s not Biden’s fault. Ever.
That angle doesn’t work.
Taliban smelled weakness with Libtards in charge, they were correct.
I think “America” has broke quite few agreements with the American people?
“Taliban broke agreement with America by overthrowing Afghan government”
Yeah, that’s sarcasm.
What I really and truly cannot believe is that there are people with college educations, who have worked for our government for years, who are often married, have kids, deal with used car salesmen, watch Congressmen lie to everyone’s face pretty much constantly - and despite all of that, they’re so naive that they believe that a bunch of murderous 7th Century savages who deeply believe in a “holy” book that TELLS THEM TO LIE TO THE INFIDEL TO GAIN AN ADVANTAGE are actually credible negotiation partners. The stupid, it BURNS! Didn’t anyone learn from the completely moronic stupidity of Jimmy Carter and Cyrus Vance during the Iranian hostage crisis? Didn’t ANYONE teach freaking NEGOTIATORS about game theory, deception, etc.?
I could have sent a 3rd grader to negotiate and he or she would have done a better job.
Oh Dear! What will we ever, ever do?
If only we had a leader that could be relied upon for wisdom strength and guidance during these troubling times.
“Wouldn’t It Be Nice?” as the Beach Boys used to sing.
Surprise surprise surprise.
The Rats broke an agreement with America by overthrowing the 2020 POTUS election.
WHAT Afghan government?
As the left would ask, “Is/was there any evidence of there having been an Afghan government”?
Were there elections?
Representatives?
Whatzis name fleeing the country with helicopters or cars full of cash?
Only a Democrat would take the (insert American enemy’s name here) word for anything.
Prime example prior to this instance... Obama - Kerry with Iran.
Yep. Instead biden gave them one way tickets to Texas and a bunch of weapons to use against us.
I don’t understand, either, why no real government was put in place there for 20 years.
Politicians complaining that others used their power to do whatever they wanted while lying about their intentions in order to succeed.
I don’t know why anyone would believe the Taliban about anything.
But, this guy (who negotiated for Trump) sounds like he understood what he was dealing with.
For example, he also said a group like the Taliban only responds to “force.”
Then he said:
QUOTE: “When I was negotiating and discussing with them, they knew that I had the full force of the U.S. Army behind me.”
When he was asked about the difference between Trump’s agreement and Biden’s withdrawal, he said:
QUOTE: “The difference here is execution. And there’s a difference between leading and exiting on your terms, and exiting with your tail between your legs.”
Yep
I think the reason is because, outside of maps and the fever dreams of “nation building” fools like GWB, Afghanistan doesn’t exist.
Biden broke the agreement by not leaving by the negotiated withdrawal date.
Why would the Taliban be expected to keep and agreement Biden broke?
(Not I would trust the Taliban, but Biden has no moral high ground here.)
