‘We were wrong’ — Sen. Mitt Romney rails against U.S. withdrawal in wake of Afghanistan bombings
sltrib ^ | 08/26/2021 | Leia Larsen

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.

Joe Stolen has now also lost Mitt Romney. The end for the Joe Stolen/”Que mala” Harris regime is dangerously close (for them at least).

The end of that regime has to signal a possible new rebirth for America. Not to be counted upon, but every day we continue down the present path, the harder it will be to revive the spirit of freedom and individual liberties we once knew.

If it weren't for false dilemmas politicians like him would have no job.

Dear Mitt, the 12 marines would be alive today if the election was not stolen. You know it, we all know it.

Mitt can go kiss Biden’s butt. He helped get him into office.

“We were wrong, both President [Donald] Trump and President [Joe] Biden, to take our troops out of Afghanistan,” Romney said.

Notice the not-so-subtle jab at Trump.

Goa way, Mitt! You're part of the problem.

So he’s not complaining that pulling the troops out before civilians and abandoning BILLIONS in equipment was wrong.

Mittens just wants to equivocate Biden with Bush and continue endless wars.

Get f’d Romney.

So buy yourself a rifle and a plane ticket, Mittens.

And good riddance.

I’m amazed at his 20/20 vision considering the fact that his head is stuck so far up his a$$.

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

Hey assclown Romney...give us a solution and a way out....or shut up ...you had your chance but you just wanted endless war. Romney probably wanted more poppy field cash.
