There will be a barrage of words and plumes of hot air rising over the Potomac. Other than that, nada.
This generation will learn what it means to have a traitor as president, supported by a traitorous Demonicrat kakostocracy and gutless coward RINOcrats.
Which generation? Biden was born in 1943. Just near the end of the Silent Generation.
ISIS-K is the bad cop in the Taliban’s good cop bad cop shtick.
George W. Bush. How much blame does he bare for this? He wanted to get Saddam for Daddy Bush because he didn’t get to go after Saddam. Daddy went weak kneed and called off the First Gulf War. But, that war should have been handled differently. You cannot make a democracy out of a bunch of 7th Century minded peoples who do not want to come into the current century. They still live back in Moo-hommid’s time frame. To be like ole Moo. Only the ones with the oil money so they can buy their big boats to go cruising around the Med and hit Paris and London on the weekends. They are the only ones who are close to this century. The rest are still in their tents and fighting among their selves as they have for centuries and centuries. We do not need to spill any more blood to invade Afghanistan. Enough already. What did we accomplish? Kill thousands of our finest young soldiers and now we leave and the bad guys are back in charge after 20 years of waiting. They do that well, wait. They are not like us, needing it right freaking now.
We didn’t lose the war. We did defeat Al Qaeda. That’s when we should have left.
Sadly, when lurking around some of the more radical democrat web sites, their people simply want cut and run, bring our boys home, no matter what the future cost. To hell with Americans still there. They are on their own.
My memories of the past is the future cost is always high!
No, he really wouldn’t. Talk to the kids and you’ll see.
Dennis Prager’s father Max enlisted in the Navy in the spring of 1943 and saw combat in the Pacific as a supply officer aboard the USS Bollinger, a troop transport that brought Marines to many island battlegrounds.
Where do I collect on that bet?
I will have to make a donation to FR in lieu of a wager payment!:)
“I’ll bet neither one of these dopes has had a single family member within 15 branches of their family tree serve in the U.S. military.”
Does that make what he said wrong?
Bret Stephens is a propagandist who is paid to peddle an agenda. Quoting him on any matter of substance is like asking your barber if you need a haircut.
Those responsible for this debacle must be held accountable. Joe Biden must resign and all those military and policy advisers who created this mess must be ousted. President Kamala has neither the intellect nor leadership to run this country and we will be adrift as a nation until the 2022 elections. Praying that the GOP sweeps Congress in 2022 and purges itself of the Rinos the business of rebuilding the nation can commence. Impeaching Kamala while tempting should not be a priority. With a veto proof majority the GOP should take charge and turn the country back from the brink of socialism. New GOP leaders should emerge looking to the 2024 presidential race. Trump is too galvanizing and would be the one thing that could unite the Democrats in 2024. New candidates should emerge…maybe de Santos or Noem
The war crime really belongs to Biden. Unless he’s like the guy caught feeding people to alligators who blames the alligators.
What would you suggest had been the appropriate response to the 911 attacks in regard to Afghanistan?
That is a silly personal attack on a powerful thinker who was one of the pioneers of the populist conservatism that became Trumpism. How about just stating that you disagree with him and explaining why. As for the “Irish whiskey”, those paying attention may recall that Pat’s ancestry is barely Irish if at all. He’s mostly of Scottish and German stock, IIRC.
“Pat Buchanan is out of it, as his screed reveals.”
He’s been right about these foreign adventures for over 40 years.
You just don’t agree with him.
” But why can’t we stay there “forever,” if doing so saves a country and tells the world that America sticks to its commitments and protects its allies?”
Because the American people said no.
I am one of them.
“If Afghanistan comes to resemble Cambodia’s killing fields, will you still think it was the right decision? Or, to put it another way: Is there any level of evil, any emboldening of America-hating Islamists, any effect of an American defeat on the world or on America that would make you regret your decision to withdraw?”
No.
We could have had a successful pullout without the humiliation if it had been planned properly. Defeat, I don't think so, if we withdrew on our terms I'd call the mission a success as we haven't had a domestic terror attack from these terrorists in 2 decades.
