“I have some doubts about the decision to strike anybody at this time. With so many hostages still in Kabul and elsewhere is it really wise to conduct retaliatory strikes now?”
Bingo. We have a winner. I was thinking the exact same thing.
Only a fool retaliates with drones during the tail end of a military withdrawal. There will be plenty of time for counting when the dealing is done.
All I can see are bad choices to make now thanks to the idiocy of this “withdrawal.”
If we are forced to fight due to an all out attack on the airport and our troops ... lots of dead civilians.
All types. From our fire.
If they start killing hostages after the last plane has left ... lots of dead civilians.
All types. From our fire.
Retaliating now is just inviting an all out attack and/or the killing of hostages.
Like 0bama, Biden is leading from his behind. He put us on defense.
