As Sen. Mitt Romney touted his federal infrastructure bill Thursday, he also took a moment to recognize the deaths of U.S. military members in suicide bombings in Afghanistan, saying it was “wrong” to withdraw troops from the country.
“We were wrong, both President [Donald] Trump and President [Joe] Biden, to take our troops out of Afghanistan,” Romney said. “... A tragedy occurred today. I hope there are no more.”
The Utah Republican’s remarks came shortly after Biden gave a speech vowing to retaliate for the attack. ISIS-K, an offshoot of the Islamic State group, has been blamed for the bombing. The president also said he would work to evacuate Americans ahead of an Aug. 31 deadline as the Taliban seizes control.
The Afghanistan war has become increasingly unpopular among Americans in years since it began after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Ok Mr Warmonger. What is your plan besides complaining?

Someone tell Mitt that you can oppose something without endorsing its opposite. No, really, it’s possible.

He can’t help himself. He can’t just say a Democrat screwed the pooch without throwing in a dig “but Republican bad too”.
Sheesh, what a tool.

Stay forever, Pierre? There was a correct way to do this. President Trump was on that path.

Romney’s STILL eaten up with jealousy. Trump has more class in his little finger than Romney can even dream about.

“We were wrong, both President [Donald] Trump and President [Joe] Biden, to take our troops out of Afghanistan,” Romney said. Do not be fooled by Romney's statement. He is clearly trying to assist his good buddy, dementia Joe. Romney is making, as the Biden administration has, that there is an exact equivalence to what Biden did to what Trump was going to do. Nothing could be further from the truth and Romney is simply trying to throw a false "bipartisan" life raft to Biden.
Trump would have never surrendered Bagram. Trump demonstrated he found it a very personal burden to rescue Americans caught in Iran, North Korea, wherever. Trump never would have abandoned Americans to the Taliban and then given the Taliban the hit list names of Americans.
Romney is working in the service of Satan by trying to lash Trump to Biden's abject failure.
