‘We were wrong’ — Sen. Mitt Romney rails against U.S. withdrawal in wake of Afghanistan bombings

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.

Even when he has an easy slam dunk he can’t help himself.

Biden made a disaster no doubt… you aren’t going to win the argument that the US should have stayed indefinitely.

This is on you Mittens and all your never Trump traitorous RINO brethren. As Pompey stated, their poiicy was to maintaIn deterrence, which is the only alternative to endless war - the neocon choice - or endless surrender, the loser RINO choice. This was recognized by Kennan and by Schiller but escapes dull doltish louts lie yourself.

Moron

That's kind an insult to IQ-challenged individuals. After all, a moron can be a fairly decent, if unintelligent, person.

Romney, on the other hand, is a self-serving evil piece of trash.

These are the Assistant Democrats that enabled the latest assault on the USA

Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT)

They knew when they were voting for the $1.2 trillion they were enabling the bigger, worse one.

Not Mitt Romney nor any of his five adult sons has served in the military.

Typical neo-con elitist.
