“My deal is this decision sucks and not happy about it....”
What would you do? How would you handle ISIS?
Second of all, IF I were a betting person, you could afford that bet; so be thankful; that I don't bet.
Thirdly, there has NEVER been anyone, NOT ANYONE EVER, who has guessed about how many people would die/be killed in ANY war EVER engaged in, in the history of mankind!
You are a child!
I made one statement saying we were not going to kill all of the muzzies over there. You pick a fight... and now you’re crying because this thread is about something you didn’t want it to be. Who’s the snowflake here???
In 2013 Obama as in charge and he thought he new more than the Generals. Plus he was/is a Muslim sympathizer.
Total Eclipse. There’s a plan here people.
I'll take the under.
He was a foreign born muslim!
The IQ has dropped at least 25-40 points, since you and I were n00bs here; sadly.
Or maybe people should just read the transcript of the speech!
This was a very clear and calculated speech!
He looked well, and spoke magnificently!
He stated what his initial gut instinct was, and how he studied this for months. Sitting as president, he now knows more.This was not an easy or rash decision.
He's leaving the military to do their job, the diplomats to do theirs, and he is not giving a timeline. This was a 360 degree decision. He is taking everything, and then some, into account.
No one wants to be in Afghanistan. But, "You don't always get what you want, you get what you need."
Well, as far as the specific matter of how consequences of a “rapid exit” as “both “predictable and catastrophic”; it was as was predicted concerning Iraq. Obama and Maliki made no commitment to SOFA agreement for a major continued U.S. security & support presence, while Maliki invested more in securing military slots for his cronys killing what new professionalism we had built with it, and going out of his way to anger the Sunnis of Iraq in the process - creating the military and political opportunities to resurrect itself from a near zombie state to a force that could over-run major Iraqi cities. A rapid exit and after 2011 Iraq went from a stable internal security situation to large swaths controlled by ISIS. THAT is what Trump was referring to and the reference was accurate.
Go easy on raiderboy. He’s less than a month old:

Since Jul 26, 2017
This.
WHY?
What word did I misspell?
Afghanistan is NOT in the "MIDDLE EAST"; diddums.
Go buy an atlas, an accurate globe, and about 100 factual military history books !
Look at it this way. He promised to pound ISIS in the ground. ISIS is not in Pakistan. He is keeping his word.
>> It’s been turned into something else by a very few posters
Posters that evidently ignored Trump’s remarks. Or perhaps they’re simply Establishment tools.
“I love Trump — but he can’t doing anything right” ... so they say.
Boy oh boy...that stupid statement takes the cake and then some. LOL
Buy a vowel... you need a clue. You haven’t heard that phrase? You don’t get out much... do you.
Bill O’Reilly: The president’s speech on Afghanistan was strong in tone but cloudy on specifics.
yes, Billy ... Let’s just telegraph “specifics” to our enemies - then you’ll gleefully report the American casualties that result for doing so.
Just one more reason why BOR is an bloviating ass.
We are not there to take over Afghanistan or do any nation building. We are there to kill ISIS and other terrorists.
DOn’t think of it as a bet. Think of it as a tithe to a charity. You’re gonna lose for sure.
