Graham Blasts Biden’s Afghanistan Withdrawal — ‘This Decision Was Against Sound Military Advice’
Breitbart ^ | 08/16/2022 | Trent Baker

Posted on 08/16/2022 9:26:20 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) weighed in on the one-year mark of President Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal out of Afghanistan that led to the death of 13 U.S. soldiers.

Graham slammed Biden for going “against sound military advice” with his “political decision.”

“Number one, this decision was against sound military advice,” Graham emphasized. “The military told president Biden we needed a residual force to avoid what happened. Biden became General Biden, and … the rest is history. We can talk about this all day long. It makes me sick to my stomach. I’ve been to Iraq and Afghanistan 50 times since 9/11. It is dishonorable what we did. It’s going to make it hard to get new allies. But here is my takeaway — the likelihood of another attack on American soil and American allies emanating from Afghanistan because of what Biden did is through the roof. We haven’t ended any war at all. We started a new one.”

The decision to jump headfirst into the Ukrainian quagmire was sound military advice according Graham.

Hey Linda, just WHO provided that “sound” military advice that was ignored?

I would bet that the Butt-Boys Milley and Austin provided the “political” advice.

I think getting out of Afghanistan was the right decision but the execution of it was classic Biden - he really screwed the pooch and it turned into a rout.

I blast Graham for supporting Ukraine in the Russia/Ukraine conflict, among a host of other things he has said, done, and even not done or said.
