President Biden on Saturday again defended the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, arguing that the vast majority of Americans wanted to get out -- and asking "How else could you get out?"
Biden was speaking to reporters in Shanksville, Pa., on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and was asked about whether the withdrawal of the U.S. forces at the end of August marks a new phase for the country.
"If you had told anybody that we were going to spend $300 million a day for 20 years to try to unite the country after we got [Usama] bin Laden, after al Qaeda was wiped out there," he said. "Can al Qaeda come back? Yeh but guess what? It's already back in other places."
"What's the strategy? Every place where al Qaeda is, we're going to invade and have troops there? Come on," he said.

What were we gonna do? Follow Trump’s more careful plan??? C’mon, man!
1) get all the american citizens and people who helped us out first
2) get out all the military equipment
3) get out all the military personal
that should be about it. I guess threaten ISIS or whatever to not even think of doing anything until we leave.
Not that way, numbnuts.
I knew there was a word for it…
‘How else could you get out?’
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
With HONOR, you traitorous windbag. You SURRENDERED. You got more of our Marines killed. There may be no “justice” on this earth, but you will reap the whirlwind sooner rather than later, you demented old baby killing monster.
Coming from the same guy who thinks a dog that bites 8 times shouldn’t be put down, when everywhere else in America a second bite is the last bite.
How come the Russians were able to leave in an orderly manner? They even had a parade.
And at the rear of the parade, the General was the last man leaving, behind all the rest of his troops.
Where were our Generals? Browning nosing in Washington, with all their woke pronouncements.
Laugh out loud funny, and a spot on analysis.
Thanks 😊
Anyone with two brain cells to rub together could figure that one out.
Sheesh.....
1. Bomb the stuff out of the Taliban/ISIS whenever they put tone little pinky out of place...
Reminds me of the young lady who recounted how her boyfriend said he wanted to make love to her in the worst way. And then he did.
Democrats come from the side ideology where competence is racist. That’s why they can’t handle real world operation except vote frauds, least of all, military operation like Benghazi and Afghanistan withdrawal. I’m not history buff. I don’t recall any democrat who was good on ground
The Afganiscrap debacle is the result of Trump Derangement Syndrome - that simple. Not only has Biteme reversed every good that Pres.Trump did, he broke the deal that Trump negotiated with the leader of the Taliban face to face.
Trump clearly stipulated to the now president of the IEA in no uncertain terms that if they break the deal, they would experience retribution like know country has seen, to paraphrase Pompeo who was there. Biteme moved the final pullout deadline to August 31 from Trump's May 1st which broke the deal. The Taliban had their opening to blitzkrieg against a pathetic army while their president ran.
IIRC, Trump's plan included evacuating all American citizens and loyal Afghanis first; a methodical withdraw of military; remove or destroy all US hardware and software; the Taliban would begin negotiations with neighboring countries. I believe even with everyone one out of A-crap, Trump said break the nation-to-nation negotiations off and here comes hell from the sky, or words to that effect.
Biteme had only to follow through on that deal and he would have been a hero instead of the dipshit who caused the Krash of Kabul. Of course, I include his handlers.
I'm believe I'm missing some points about Trump's deal.
That was only half a word!
Yup. Most of that or all was in Trump’s plan, witnessed by Pompeo who was at the sit-down meet with the Taliban lead general. See my post above.
If it was going to be done at all - the way Trump planned it - conditional withdrawal, keeping Bagram Airforce base instead of turning it over the CCP, not giving weapons to the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11, etc. That’s how, Joe - not simply reset the clock to 9/10/2001.
Right - everything was done haphazardly and abruptly with ZERO transition phase. I don’t know if the Afghan army could have handled it in the end, but they had zero chance by just pulling the rug out from under them. We could have left air support in place for at least a short while. And again, Bagram was never going to be abandoned - it was a good strategic location for the US to have a military base. Biden just up and left it for foreign adversaries to use.
C’mon, man, I could have and would have done an infinitely better job than you. Resign!
“He’s nasty, ...and dumb as a post.”
We’ve had cedar posts smarter than he that have held barbed wire for decades, yet they still stand strong, keeping the animals at bay. Better yet, they remain silent!
He might be a post, but at the moment a post in search of a
turtle.
Proof of his sheer incompetence and the incompetence of our generals who agreed with him.
