Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), now an NBC News contributor, said Monday on MSNBC ‘s “Deadline” that the speed at which the Taliban took over Afghanistan once President Joe Biden withdrew the U.S. military validated his decision to leave the country.
McCaskill said, “I think it’s hard to draw away from the heartbreaking chaos we’ve witnessed and the tragic deaths of our men and women that were on the front lines trying to evacuate people friendly to America and others who wanted to get out. If you back up and really look at this with a cold eye, and I think that’s what President Biden did, for the last ten years, our mission has primarily been to build an army in Afghanistan and to build security forces that could respect the rule of law. As someone who sat on the Armed Services Committee for 12 years during this period of time, as someone who did oversight and saw the rampant waste of money and corruption that was so endemic in our involvement in Afghanistan, what you really need to realize is the speed with which the Taliban took over validates Joe Biden’s decision because our mission had failed.”

She’s an Islamist, Jim.
My leg seems wet — is it raining?
I seem to recall that President Trump wanted to pull troops out of Afghanistan and Congress stopped him, with the backing of both parties and the media.
Hypocrites gonna Hypocrite!
FORMER……
Non Veteran female spouts her “military genius” knowledge.
McCaskill who wont leave her daughters alone with Bill
That McCaskill?
People like her make me sick!!!!!!!!!!!
Once again a Democrat is conflating the need to withdraw from Afghanistan with the way the withdrawal was handled. They cannot be allowed, under any circumstance, to have that narrative.
Her utter stupidity knows no bounds.
lipstick on pig.
“Speed with Which the Taliban Took over Validates Joe Biden’s Decision”
Huhhhh...??
She must have flunked “LOGIC 101” in college.
Thank God she’s not a brain surgeon…
So. You did "oversight" and saw rampant waste of money and corruption, yet...you did nothing. Nothing at all.
No shame. No apology. She talks about that as if it is someone else's business, and not hers.
As if she had absolutely nothing at all to do with it. And she oversees it.
I'll bet she continued to collect that paycheck though.
Hard to believe a siting US Senator could be so stupid. Claire McCaskill, meet Maizzy Hirono.
The beauty of being a Dem with a complicit media and a stupid base. Say virtually anything, just give it some minor hint of coherency even if it’s totally wrong. The media will present it as wisdom, and the public is incapable of seeing the flaws.
I wonder what it’s like to be an integrity-free ideological hack and heartless intellectual whore
Claire, can you really be this stoopid?
Let’s look at the big picture Claire... the Talibunnies are our sworn enemy. ISIS-Kamala Variant are our sworn enemies. They all want to kill us. When you start a war with your enemies you kill them first before they can kill you. When you get perfumed princes fighting your wars you end up losing. All we had to do was start at one end of AssGhanistan and work our way to the other side with the war machine we have. We didn’t have the stomach to kill our enemy with collateral damage taking place. Shut up Claire!
Boy, she is a special kind of stupid, huh?
