...the country was leaving.
"No Americans left behind."

families and children out as well.”
This is the problem. You need to go when you are told to go. That was last April. You don’t leave on your own schedule without assuming the risk.

might have asked her to stay. I don't...and neither do you.
Secondly, Biden assured that the Afghan government would hang in for a significant time. Should people have relied on him? No, he quite obviously doesn't know shit..
Should he have said it if he had no fucking idea?
Again, ending the war was necessary. How he and his people handled it was an utter abomination...
Yeah it was an abomination. No feckin shit.
But since we are hypothesizing, it wouldn’t have been any less of one if Biden wasn’t in charge. Same military. Same no plan for an immediate collapse.
neither do you...but thanks for restating it.
Since we're hypothesizing, Biden is a complete incompetent and at this point and we have no idea how it would go with someone of minimal competence in charge...and never will.
Please. Bash Biden all you want but pretending this would have been different but for him is a joke.
His sin was to be just like the original hightailer in chief.
The current malarkey from the right is that but for Biden we would have had a staged, honorable, orderly withdrawal. I call complete bullshit. It doesn’t excuse him but that’s the reality. We were turning the keys over to a govt that we knew would lose which was getting its ass whipped in the field while we were taking zero casualties. And the same people sobbing for those left behind supported someone who who calls them terrorists and wanted to leave them all there. Just a little honesty and a lot less hypocrisy from the right would be helpful.
Biden has handled this situation as poorly as can be imagined. It has been a shit show right through. Every prediction: wrong. Every promise: broken. He is clearly lost at sea, and the plan is to try to brazen it out by pretending that this is some kind of model for a future withdrawals? Absolutely fucking ridiculous.
Just because Trump said something or did something does not fucking matter. Biden is in charge, unfortunately.
There are plenty of people who believe both Trump and Biden are morons. There are plenty of people who believe that the right thing to do was protect our afghan allies. Just cause Trump is a dick about it doesn’t absolve Biden of the stain and shame of leaving these people behind - in extreme danger. Also the 200 US citizens who he promised (LAST FUCKING WEEK!) to stay until they were safe. He is a loathsome piece of shit.
Defending him? I’m blaming him for being just like what came before him. Or stick your head in the ground and continue to believe this clusterfuck, all started around 1/20. I don’t remember anyone here shedding a single tear when we entered into the Doha agreement that essentially left these people to their fate. Without their involvement in what we negotiated. And yeah Biden followed through on it. No fecking shit. But don’t pretend it would have been better but for him. That’s BS. The crocodile tears also get annoying.
It couldn’t be Trump. Biden is the fucking President. And he sucks donkey balls.
November? Anyone warn Americans to get out then like we did in April? Yeah it would have been big, beautiful and manly. Give me a break.
I don't give a fuck what Trump's plan was. I give a fuck about the actual reality of Biden's monolithic incompetence. The guy is a fucking menace to our nation.
Frank spent over four years and 50,000 posts believe leftist TDS crap, he is nuttier than a fruitcake. Absolutely zero redeeming qualities.
And yer sudden concern for the”fucking menace” to the nation is also humorous.
was too difficult to interpret, I wonder?

"from gate to gate," following State Department instructions and getting past Taliban checkpoints in their efforts to secure safe passage out." was too difficult for you to understand?
Now, I suspect she wanted to get the Afghan allies out as well and did not want to leave them behind...unlike Biden
Then when you point it out he lies, changes the subject with a random music post (or better yet some dumb ass shit about a fly) or self bans himself until the thread drops off. A man of true honesty intellect and substance.
By the way who was responsible for doing that vetting?

be told to go.
You are a heartless moron when your politics call you to be. The liberal Dem cause is your highest priority - above morality.
Will be interesting if he still maintains this stance when the next police shooting occurs. Somehow I don't think it'll happen....
Basically you’re an ordinary bullshit artist.
You're an A to B thinker and you cannot expand your thought process beyond your bubble logic. I'll stop short of calling you dumb, but you're a very simple thinker.
And you have other issues - anger, inferiority complex, self imagined oppression and daddy issues. But your posts about flies landing on you are super riveting. So good job there Jim. Bravo!
Selfishly chasing a lucrative interpreter job in Afghanistan has its costs.
On the plus side, we left behind 50 military dogs to keep her and the others company, assuming the Taliban haven't barbecued them with the jet engines from U.S. planes.

If she's a US citizen she'll get out. I admire her bravery for sacrificing for the remaining Afghanistan people.
I thought libs were supposed to be compassionate.
Again very noble of her but the mission is bigger than just a few. She should’ve left and let the diplomatic refuge process occur.

schedules? Look most Americans left there have family or business commitments that make it hard to leave. They had plenty of notice and warning to clear out. I feel for them and we should do everything to get them out. I don’t think we had to wait for them though.
