The Taliban in Afghanistan have been taking back territory and attacking U.S. allied forces ever since the U.S. military began a withdrawal. On July 8th Joe Biden was asked if the U.S. embassy in Kabul would be evacuated giving a familiar reference to the U.S. collapse in Vietnam. In July he said no. Biden was leaving 650 military personnel in Kabul to guard the embassy and diplomats.
Two days ago Biden announced sending 3,000 U.S. troops to begin the embassy evacuation. That is correct. Biden is sending 3,000 soldiers back to Afghanistan to help evacuate Americans. Another 3,500 soldiers will be on standby. Biden is sending more soldiers back to Afghanistan than the 2,500 he withdrew to begin with.
Considering that Joe Biden has a documented political history of getting everything exactly wrong; meaning the outcomes are exactly the opposite of every contention he has ever made; it is worth noting what Biden claims will not happen – because this is exactly what is likely to happen. WATCH:
As if on cue from divine or karmic providence, exactly what Joe Biden said in July would not occur, is exactly what is occurring in August…. Afghanistan’s second and third largest cities, Kandahar and Herat, fell to the Taliban on Thursday and Friday.
(CNN) – […] In a statement Friday, the Taliban said they had taken control of the governor’s office, police headquarters, as well as other key operational centers throughout the city of Kandahar. “Hundreds of weapons, vehicles and ammunition were seized,” the Taliban statement said.
Kamin said he and many others had made their way to a military base close to the city’s international airport and were awaiting a flight out. “Many (government) soldiers surrendered and the rest fled,” Kamin said.
Kamin had earlier told CNN that Taliban fighters had been able to break through the city’s frontline and were engaging in sporadic confrontation with government forces.
Kandahar, which lies on the junction of three major highways, is of particular strategic importance and was formerly a major hub for US military operations. Its seizure marks the most significant gain yet for the Taliban.
Elsewhere on Friday, the government lost control of the nearby capital of Urozgan province, Tarin Kot. (read more)
Biden announced the withdrawal of 2,500 troops in April.
In June and July those troops started leaving.
In July Biden swears the embassy in Kabul will not fall.
In August Biden sends 3,000 troops back to Afghanistan.
Watch what happens in Kabul….
We will see helicopters emergency airlifting embassy personnel and rescuing people.
And somehow this is all going to be Trump’s fault.
Speaking of the military, West Point embraces Marxism and is making sure all the cadets are well versed in it.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/west-point-teaching-marxism-military-official-says-left-wing-courses-revealed
West Point should be closed down as a threat to America. They produce only a small fraction of the Army’s Officers and probably the worst ones these days. The Army has too many officers anyway.. They certainly don’t protect our boarders. What are they good for anyway? Except stupid endless wars and the Army-Navy football game? And that was before CRT and Wokeism.
“The likelihood that there’s going to be a Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely,” Joe Biden claimed in July.
Everything that the DemoNazi Party does is a subterfuge.
From the confounded a&& who read every foreign policy issue wrong in the 150 years he has been in “office”.
He’s played them as he has seen them played to his party’s and his personal benefit. Not so much for anyone else, naturally.
You must always apply the 180 rule. Just shift 180 degrees from whatever a leftist says, and there you will usually find the truth.
All warfare is deception – Sun Tzu
Now there’s money well spent!
According to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report published in October 2007, the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could cost taxpayers a total of $2.4 trillion by 2017 including interest.
Im more gutted by the lives spent. It makes me sick.
Never the sons and daughters of the wealthy however ……
My spouse enlisted on his 18th birthday..Abandoned by his mother, bouncing from poor but sympathetic family members..no home of his own..He weighed 115 lbs. when given his physical. The Navy accepted him.
He considered it an honor to serve and served 22 years.
Who cares what the sons and daughters of the wealthy do? Work on acquiring your own wealth.
Saw “13 Hours” and nearly lost my mind. This is TREASON.
Seems like pocket change from what we are spending now.
The way JoeBama said Tal “y” bon reminded me of this…
“Come, Mister Taliban, Taliban be coming, Daylight come and me wan’ go home.”
Remember. Remember this the next time some asshole Uniparty politicians wrap themselves in the flag and send American kids off to die in foreign lands. All for nothing. Enriching the Globalists and killing,maiming,mentally destroying the best of our breeding stock. Never again.
Mike,
Would you reconsider if we knew that there are 535 Taliban that way? I know you can’t see me but I’m pointing in the general direction of DC.
MIKE, COULDN’T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF. OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS, MOTHERS FATHERS, FRIENDS AND FAMILY. THOSE NOT KNOWN AT ALL TO US. MAIMED AND OR DEAD FOR NOTHING AT ALL !
SURE AS HECK WILL NEVER FORGET. I HOPE OUR GUYS NEVER EVER GO BACK TO ANYMORE WARS AFTER THEY HELP THESE LAST SOLDIERS GET THE HECK OUT OF THERE SAFELY. GOD BLESS THEM ALL. MAY THEY ALL COME HOME SAFELY.
WHAT A COLLOSSAL PIECE OF TRASH THIS INSTALLED BIDEN PUPPET JUNTA HAS TURNED OUT TO BE ! MAY THE REAL ONES IN CHARGE OF THIS BRUTALLITY FIND GOD’S JUSTICE SOON.
Absolutely! Well said. Meanwhile GW flies out to a carrier in his pilot attire. The SOB was AWOL. And he had the nerve to do this. Disgrace to the uniform
One of the most important things we can do is to warn our high school graduates to not join the military.
There is no sense in putting yourselves at the mercy of the Uniparty warmongers like Liz Cheney.
And the biggest pusher of WAR is Panty wearing Lyndsey Graham the fruitcake. Just think about that for a minute. A fruitcake sending our treasure to get killed and maimed.
Mittwit Romney is all ready to have someone else’s son or daughter ruck up and head over there.
What’s the matter Romney? Money not flowing from there like it use to during the war?
That’s what we said after Viet Nam.
Haven’t heard Milley on this…
He is busy looking for all those angry white supremacists in the military so he can find out why they are white, and angry….
Funny thing is that whenever I see him: he is WHITE and ANGRY. Funny that.
Someone should buy him a mirror.
Milley who? The Traitor Mark Milley? Who should be court-martialed and kicked out on his behind?
OK, can someone help me here? The Forever War crew just turned and walked away from their 20 year old FW. “They” always have a plan, even if they are stupid plans. I am having trouble figuring out what the heck they are up to here. I can put it together with open borders, flood the country with covid positive illegal aliens to prolong the covid scare, wreck the domestic oil and gas industries, and end a 20 year Forever War with a gobsmacking US defeat.
All I can come up with is they are deliberately setting a match to the world. Anyone have any better idea as to what they are up to?
It will result in a bigger conflict, just like the “good old days”.
Several, TRUTH is bleeding out from everywhere Globally. That’s just one of many.
Hope that helped as I know you already knew that.
Once you look at the results of policies it only makes sense when viewed as enemy action
They will blame it on Trump, and cede all Afghanistan’s riches to the Chinese.
And, indeed, continue setting the world on fire.
Taliban is the Antifa/BLM of their region
We couldn’t have Trumps peace screwing up thing it seems.
Exactly
The CCP is watching. They will devour Taiwan quickly. They see the weak horse and they have decades of blackmail material on the installed occupant. Mr.*. The invasion at the southern border and the fall of Saigon 1975 redux reveals the total fecklessness of Hunter Biden’s sire.
They planned on having the Taliban wreck havoc so we can go back into an endless war. War is what they want. President Trump had it all worked out with them if we would have withdrawn when President trump said he would. China Joe went against that plan and pissed them off big time.
IMHO… China isn’t our main enemy… they’re just the distraction.
Read “The Prince” from Machiavelli about invasions of countries. They infiltrate and settle within our borders. Cheaper than sending armies. Last time I looked, they’re not Chinese. Chinese just gladly worked for money and biological warfare. The illegal settlers are not Chinese.
I can’t help but remember the pallet of cash delivered in the middle of the night.
This is treason and this administration needs to be thrown out and prosecuted accordingly… to the fullest extent of the law. The real law… you know… the ones they ignore.
Wonder if all those illegals who have 5, 6, 7, 10 kids would still be so productive in their homeland.
The Taliban consider themselves to be devoutly religious, Muslims. … The Taliban are on a military Jihad against the Great Satan. [Muslims from around the world will travel to join a military Jihad.]
Many of the ‘Elites’ in ~our country do not understand religious people here in the USA or elsewhere. … The ‘Elites’ think ~all devoutly religious people are just a bunch of Ignorant Hicks. … [There’s a lot of documentation about the Elites’ views on religion and religious people.]
For many Americans, life is about obtaining money, fame and power. There are many influential people in our country that genuflect to the ‘Elites’ of our world. The idea of ~ Duty ~ Honor ~ Country ~ would bring derisive laughter from many Americans. The Elites think self-sacrifice is for the ‘little’ people.
The words of the Apostle Paul are NOT understood by a lot of Americans now days. =
~”I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me.”~ [The Christian Good Book]
Even though the Taliban spread their faith through military Jihad, the Taliban would still understand a peaceable Christian saying, “Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.”
***********
As a political note: President Trump demonstrated, how “useless and endless” wars can be ended and avoided successfully. The ‘Elites’ face the legacy of President Trump. The ‘Elites’ want to destroy All Things Trump.
money War bleeds money and so those who profit on this war want it to continue.
I also don’t think we can rule out the possibility that Joebama may have been paid off to allow this takeover.
I believe it is no accident that he has been on the wrong side of every foreign policy issue over the last 40 years.
He’s paid to be on the wrong side. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, but he’s never right.
correction: he traded some art for it.
How do you spell NincomPoop ?
JOE BIDEN !
True, but NincomPoop is much too kind.
Have you told you legislators to not let Dominion do.the security update??
( That update deletes connection logs for identifying hacking during election).
The evidence is on every machine that has not been updated.
We will be Kandahar if we don’t act fast.
Dominion snuck in on May and June for 2 locations ( colorado and PA)
I agree, by itself the Biden administration, shielded by the press, might have escaped with a minor graze to it’s reputation, but it’s not an isolated incident and that therein is the problem; it follows in a long list of incompetent decisions by this maladministration, which is now in a classic death spiral. Once you cement a reputation for being incompetent it’s over, perception in politics afterall is key. The Democrats knew this and hence threw the kitchen sink at Trump to try to and create a negative reputation, which only motivated their acolytes, hence the election steal. The press’ attempts to try and create a reputation of competence are continually undermined by events, worse, they are cemententing Trump’s competence and setting up a simple comparison for voters to make.
It’s over, what matters now is making sure the transition back to normality does not entail any dubious tactics the Democrats have used, however tempting. As they say, you want your guns on the moral high ground commanding fields of fire below them.
JoBama wants to help the taliban get their pipeline from Turkmenistan.

Anyone else see a Direct Relationship between the Democrat Party
and the Muslim Population’s Desire to Destroy the Entire World ?
I have seen that for some time. Shared enemies and goals.
Modern leftists are mostly anarchists, directly or indirectly. BLM and Antifa are allowed to run wild because destruction is creation. Somehow.
Anger now somehow supplies moral justification. Our most successful black women (Michelle Obama) are angry about something and therefore morally legitimate.
It seems like the negative image of John Galt. What if the builders just stop? The assumption that the oil will still be there if you disrupt the oil industry at every turn is the most silly of leftist conceits.
We now have hyper-inflation because oil prices affect everything. The leftist fantasy that you can have your cake and eat it too is hitting the wall.
Well, it was the Taliban destroying statues many years ago…
The Left has been mimicking the stone-agers here in the USA.
Ding ding ding!!! Give snailmail the prize.
Brought to you by the same people who funded and empowered ISIS.
Oh, and let’s stop talking about Biden. Old Joe doesn’t know what year it is or where is most of the time. This is all Obama and his crew, his third term.
Sometimes I wonder if that is true, even Columbo acted like a forgetful and ignorant detective.
Just sayin’
Very true, but “Biden” is short and easy to write. But I guess we could use O’crew, which wouldn’t require any additional key strokes.
Has Biteme made any kind of comment yet? Can’t decide whether he’ll talk tough and draw a red line in the sand or blame Trump.
Maybe he can challenge the Taliban leader to a push up contest.
Not much different than the Communist politicians, corporations, media, judicial, law enforcement destroying the Constitution, law and order, squashing our freedoms, burning down the country, and putting their jackboots on our necks.
Biden vowed “our embassy will not fall.”
Technically correct, perhaps. It may remain standing, but with the Taliban banner raised above it.
From the Endless War in Afcrapistan to the Endless War Against Covid19.
In both cases we are told it is necessary and we are being un-patriotic and endangering our countrymen if we don’t do it. Some people always fall for it. And over and over again.
And the Democrats plan to milk it at least as long as the 20 years the War Mongers milked Afghanistan.
What started as our military helping Afghanis take back their country was rapidly meddled (multi country diplomatic effort) into Nation Building and a useless occupation to protect this artificially constructed Nation.
In short, it is all Bushes fault and the political statesmen. After Bush effin’ up big time, it degenerated into a game of hot potato. Who will take the blame for it falling apart?
Idiot military thought they could threaten each President with blame to keep their eternal war going. They also rebelled against Trump. If they hadn’t, they could have made Trump take the blame.
But in reality the military leadership is next in line for blame. They squandered lives and money but never fixed anything.
After incompetent Bush, meddling political statesmen and the murderous military leadership, the next most blame is Obama. Obama wanted out, but chickened out under military threat. Then he installed his puppet and pulled us out with his puppet in charge.
But since Biden will dodge blame and dems always blame R’s for what they do, they will blame Trump. It doesn’t help them any to blame a has been like Bush.
But since nobody is willing to do what it takes to win, we should have never occupied them in the first place. Blame Bush. Bastard didn’t even try to make Afghanistan right before lusting for Saddam’s scalp and creating yet another forever war with needless occupation.
And the military leaders were lusting right along with Bush.
Does anybody else see parallels between this fiasco and the way Obama pulled out of Iraq and allowed the rise of ISIS?
Sudden, chaotic withdrawal, abandoning bases and leaving equipment and weapons behind to fall into the hands of Islamic extremists.
Seems to me that it’s almost exactly the same.
Will we soon be hearing about Afghanistan being the new “Caliphate”?
Joe’s JV squad.
Why are we getting spokespeople.. Where is Joe, The Secretary of Defense. General Millie.
shouldn;t one of them be telling us what is going on. Heck send out Harris. might be good practise
for her.. The pentagon spokesguy seems to get frustrated and mad at certain questions..
3:00pm is pudding time for Joe.
Would it matter? They all lie. Our entire government is mirage-like theater.
Which world powers have been priming the Taliban to burst open like this and take over every population center in Afghanistan? It defies belief.
Their advance is going slicker than the race to Berlin 1945 or Saigon in 1975.
I do have a question, though, and this is why they wouldn’t let President Trump withdraw the troops. If President Trump had withdrawn the troops as he had intended, would the same thing have happened?
No, it is not President Trump’s fault because Joe Biden is the one who decided to go ahead and do it. These actions are all on his watch.
I was thinking that thought. I think the difference would have been other countries Trump was getting on good terms with may have picked up the slack in the neighborhood knowing we had their back in a way. Now they will be looking out for themselves knowing they have no friend in the white house and won’t care about Afghanistan.
This is the only video link I could find. It’s not with a pro Trump view but you’ll see and hear President Trump in his own words regarding his negotiations with the Taliban.
I can’t imagine the Biden Committee president doing anything like that nor would they have been believed.
President Trump would have been.

Just watched Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg verify this account on Grant Stinchfield’s show on Newsmax.
“The last gate we put in place was that there would be intra-Afghan talks between the Taliban and the Ghani government and until that happened we would maintain 2,500 troops in place. That was a number that was agreed to by Gina Haspel, Director of the CIA and Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs that we could hold what we had in Afghanistan with sufficient air power as we went forward.
That agreement was assured to happen when in the Oval Office, and I was there when it happened, President Trump picked up the phone and called the leader of the Taliban, the head negotiator….. and told him in only a Trumpian terms that you can, that if he violated his terms, we knew where he lived and we would come after him. In fact, he was told that on at least two occasions when I was present. And then he picked up the phone and told Ghani the very same thing.”
Sorry if there are typos and misspellings, I was typing as he was speaking.
Trump would provide air support and strafe any Taliban attempts to terrorize the country.
Thanks for your input, everyone!
Maybe not, but believe our former President oh hell so what. Lost my son to Iraq killing suicide and incompetence at local VA. Course Hunter won’t be deployed so no problem. Nuke um. Better yet give them free Covid vaccine with all variants.
I’m so sorry about your son.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m a military daughter and ex wife, so I know the cost on our families. I grieve with you and share your contempt. May our God bless you and come quickly to avenge!!!
The skinny jeans are on point.
I think you have to click on the tweet to get it to show up.
Good one!
The Taliban controlling Afghanistan was inevitable. I was opposed to boots on the ground, considering the rugged terrain and fighting on the Taliban’s terms. There has never been any central government control. It’s tribal. What I was in favor of was pounding them with MOABS and surgical missle strikes, closing off their airspace, and targeting key figures with special forces
A few updates on this latest clusterf***:

You can’t project western society on tribes people. They had 300,000 trained troops (by Western nations!) and there’s only less than 60,000 taliban. Guess what: not every person on the planet is the same.
Maybe should have included a copy of “Sun-Tsu Art of War” with that training eh? Duh.
It’s not the training. The taliban are only taking over Afghanistan because the government allows it.
I wouldnt be suprised if large part of those Western trained troops now fight on the Taliban side.
“You can’t project western society on tribes people.”
Pretty ironic since that’s the same problem we have in the US and why we’re losing our country too.
Good point
Maybe Milley Vanilli should have been reading that book rather than one on CRT or white rage.
I don’t know, when the recording cuts all I see is fear.
I pray for our country, the people, & now the soldiers & military being sent back to Afghanistan, Kuwait & other countries— we should not be doing this again! I am beyond mad & disgusted at the puppet & team in the WH. It took from Jan 20 to now for the current evil administration to destroy almost everything good our great President Trump put in place. May God help us all.
Sounds a lot like Arab Spring II to me….but with Obama pulling the strings again is this really a surprise?
Seriously, we pulled out in June/July and now it’s August and Taliban controls every major city but one?
That’s some organization! They couldn’t have gotten help from someone could they? Intel?
They made a mess of America so fast that they had PLENTY of BANDWIDTH to F’up other countries.
It is the JO’bama way.
What did we expect from woke, purple haired Generals?
Yeah, yeah, yeah…I don’t have any surprise/outrage at this. Zero. Nada. Zip.
Because I know exactly were I was when they pushed choppers off of flattops in the South China Sea. Full of ARVN. They just didn’t name this generational clusterf*ck the Paris Peace Accords.
Yep.
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
Bongino says the US is leaving all kinds of weaponry for the taliban. Including drones.
Well, I sure didn’t see that coming. /s
I keep wondering what is it Joe does in Delaware. I suppose he can indeed host bad guys with whom he’s in league and in this way, keep them off WH logs, but I suspect he gets medical treatment and it can be done in a clandestine fashion in his DE home.
I was “just supposin'” that maybe they put him in a hyperbaric chamber for treatment of what ails him. It would be hard to hide one of those in the WH. I think he’s been showing signs of Parkinson’s disease for a few years now.
I took a shot and asked a net search if hyperbaric chambers are ever used for PD patients. Yes, they have been and are, for some.
I also found this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5851727/
From experience with dementia people, the more time spent in surroundings they are familiar with the less angry outbursts they have; at least, that is how it was for my relatives that had Alzheimer’s; when they were in strange surroundings for any length of time the aggravation factor went up several notches. I believe this is why we are seeing him spend increasingly longer periods of time at his home in Delaware.
Then again, one of the issues with long term PD patients is delusions, illusions and hallucinations and that could explain his mental, verbal ramblings too.
An unknown truth. By December 1973 some 95% or more of all American troops were out of south Viet Nam. The north vietnamese had made the agreement that if America pulled out their troops they would not attack south Viet Nam. No rational person believed them so our ACE in the hole was we maintained Carrier operations in the gulf as air support for the South Viet Nam army in the event the North attacked. During the calendar year 1974 for the first time in many years South Viet Nam had relative peace. By the end of 1974 certain Democrats in DC decided that the North had proven they would not attack the South so very early in 1975 Carrier operations in the gulf were stopped and the Carriers left for the first time in 10 years or so. That left the South Viet Nam army defenseless from the over all power of the north. Without our air support it was a foregone conclusion. Then in April 1975 the North Viet Nam army came storming into the South and without our air support the slaughter was on. America won the war in South Viet Nam but certain politicians gave it all back to the communists in the North. American dead about 57,000. North Vietnamese dead about ONE MILLION PLUS. Traitors in high places.
The people who have been in charge were not worthy of the responsibilities and power they have held.
And in the end American stupor, unwillingness to look at what is going on, matches this.
God, help us all
This is by design and this is Obama at work. I remember being sick to my stomach when Obama let ISIS just drive their caravans from city to city and didn’t call in airstrikes. It was intentional to let them do what they did. Obama is acting as a shadow president and this is exactly what he wants to happen. They will run rampant and start toppling surrounding countries just like they were allowed to do when he was president.
Commies always leave death and destruction in their wake.
Afghan Army – 186,000 (does not include Afghan Police). Both trained by US Military for almost 20 years.
Taliban “fighters” – 60,000 (estimate by US Army. had been 20,000 a few years ago). Very little training. Very lightly armed – AK47’s RPG’s.
Estimated Al Qaeda in Afghanistan seems to be almost zero.
Result: Afghan Army folds like a cheap suit in a matter of days.
Lesson?
One would have to be stone blind to miss it.
Frankly Scarlet I don’t give a da… Unless Biden and the uniparty decide they need to get more American service people killed, it matters not to me. Perhaps that country needs to join another country that can protect them. How much money did we spend to train them and how’s that working out?
Except like ISIS, this is deliberate. And it will be here also
As I just commented its all for the money to continue. Those who have profited from this war evidently hasn’t had enough. More money and forget about the lives of Americans. So many years of blood for Afgan should be more than enough but no. Ask yourself do they want us to leave? Again I say money.
Yup
I care, because this U.S. military had to have seen this coming and now not only is our military humiliated on an international scale – but we have now armed these Taliban with caches and caches of arms and munitions, helicopters, drones, who knows how many surface-to-air missals too (?) to the point of setting up these Taliban as the next generation of arms merchants and people have to know that Russia, China, Iran are going to be inspecting the mechanisms of all these tools of war with a fine toothed comb to discover ways to defeat our best when the real wars begin.
So yes, I do care. Every member of the Pentagon brass should have resigned in disgrace by now for the damage their stupidity has set in motion. White anger? I think that’s going to be the least of Mr. Milley’s problems. Forever in history he will be held in greater shame and disgust than Benedict Arnold could have ever hoped to achieve.
for example of why I care:
here is another pictorial representation of what our Pentagon brass have gifted to the Taliban:
One quality about being a Leftist is that they do not believe in individual responsibility. It’s always someone else’s fault.
Hence, they never apologize for the chaos and destruction they commit. It’s all someone else’s fault.
The important point is that we lost our own country recently. The Afghanis have to fight for themselves; we have work to do here.
Who wants to bet that CNN will get Gen. Mattis on by tomorrow to blame Trump.
Here’s a great rundown on the happenings in Afghanistan
https://thesaker.is/a-saigon-moment-looms-in-kabul/
“Even the current Kabul arrangement is based on Islamic law and seeks advice from an Ulema council. Very few in the West know that Sharia law is the predominant trend in the current Afghan constitution.
Closing the circle, ultimately all members of the Kabul government, the military, as well as a great deal of civil society come from the same conservative tribal framework that gave birth to the Taliban.
Apart from the military onslaught, the Taliban seem to be winning the domestic PR battle because of a simple equation: they portray Ghani as a NATO and US puppet, the lackey of foreign invaders.
And to make that distinction in the graveyard of empires has always been a winning proposition.”
In other words, the Islamic Taliban have won the hearts-and-minds of the Islamic populous, not the Infidel (/Christian) US Army. Why would anyone have ever thought otherwise?
Joe ……… well let’s not stop there …….. Democrats f-up everything they touch.
I’m sorry for the loss of life for the people of Afghanistan and also American life. We have a Traitor in the WH that sold America down the drain for money. This is what happens to a country especially America when we get away from our roots which is God.
“And somehow this is all going to be Trump’s fault.”
A nitwit former Ambassador has already said it’s Trump’s fault for forcing the Taliban to the peace table.
…And clowns in the EU are back that up.
We all know none of this would be happening if they had just let us have the President we elected. The political class has caused this and all of them have to go.
Yes, the “Useful Idiots” and half wits will believe it is Trump’s fault. But so what? People continue to think it is important the idiots see it our way before anything positive can be done. This is simply not true. Ignore them and press on with what YOU believe to be true.
When a Libtard tells me the price of gas going up is Trump’s fault, I simply ask how is it so? Whatever they answer I simply say “I don’t believe it” and leave it at that. What you don’t do is try and convince them or argue of something else.
Precisely. Never accept the premise of their argument.
I often chuckle and say in a humorous way “ that’s funny” and walk away.
Cheers
I need to start doing that…I get angry at people for peddling BS. More so when they try to back their opinions with false information. I get so angry.
To my ENORMOUS astonishment, this evening my very liberal sister gave President Trump due credit for wanting to withdraw in an organized fashion. She then faulted Biden for the current scr*(-up.
She and her husband are former military. She is furious that our troops (3000 plus another 3500?) have been sent back there in harm’s way to potentially clean up Biden’s mess. “They should have done it Trump’s way.”
Wow.
Now if I can just get her off the vaccine passport soapbox…
The Forever War was initially intended as a punitive expedition against the Taliban, utilizing the Northern Alliance as a proxy to hold ground won by Air Force bombardment.
After that initial success, it would only have been necessary to partition Afghanistan north to south along the geographical boundaries of the Hindu Kush.
But Dubya got big-headed and decided to double down with the GWOT.
More, he was going to defeat Islamic jihad while making nice with “moderate” Muslims, of which there are few to none.
So moderate Muslims moderated the Rules of Engagement to the detriment of our troops.
The outcome was a predetermined loss.
Bush 41 and 43 did more damage to our economy and society than any hostile power since WW II. I sincerely hope the Kennedy Curse falls on their entire posterity.
I am on record as supporting the pull out- under Trump’s version. And if I had any children- I would’ve advised them to NOT sign up for this forever war. Not one ounce of our blood and treasure is worth it. The middle east does not value our sacrifice.
And, we should of at least blown up the weapons cache and Humvees in Afghanistan!
Right on logboom – I have always said that no stupid war or situation in the middle east is worth even ONE of our soldier’s lives.
Among the damage the Bush family left us the out-of-control “Intelligence Community.”
Bush 41 was a CIA director and should never have been allowed to be President. Or more realistically, if he had any principals he should have never sought the office.
I was ‘in the room’ on 9/11, considering we have memorials to things that didn’t happen and ‘never forget’ things that are blatantly made up. I have a hard time believing Dubya wasn’t in on the whole thing from start to finish.
How did a plane, forced to land by the passengers, taxied into a hangar where the Feds were in a stand off w/the terrorists for hours on end managed to crash in Pennsylvania? The answer is, it didn’t…
I was a brand new Airman, caught in headquarters because we went into Delta. I was given a simple job, babysit the fax machine and determine if the contents were prudent or pertinent to current events. Did you know, the military has more faith in fax machines than e-mail?
If the information was pertinent, I called attention to it, then read it out load to the room. So, I was the single most informed person on station during the attacks on 9/11 and it frustrates me to this day what people outside of that room believe happened because of the news.
An F-16 shot down a small high speed craft over PA, meanwhile we received multiple faxes, play by play over the course of hours as this saga unfolded between the Feds and hi-jackers in a hangar after the passengers forced the plane to land. At the end of the day, we received a message to disregard previous messages and shred everything. Damn me for being so obedient because I was ultimately part of their coverup…
Lies.

You are madder than a March hare.
You are delusional ??
Goingincircles is right. This was a planned operation and Bozo Bush was in on it. There are some very well done videos on youtube providing all the proof you need. At first, I didn’t believe it either but the proof was overwhelming – and makes total sense when you see it. Our government has been evil for a long time.
You shouldn’t believe media muppets …

Wait, …. I thought drinking “3 Cups of Tea” with every villager, big and small, old and young, was the entire key to unlocking Afghanistan’s kumbaya utopiastan potential? Or was it flying little kites? Something like that..
Why do you think Milley and his Pentagon pals wanted Trump gone? He was bad for business. Now Milley gets to send more troops back to Afghanistan. But here’s something to think about….the people that helped us there are being butchered. Apparently we ve helped some our if there but many more will die. Tell me how helpful they and others like them will be next time? Bidens latest blunder will cost us in the future. This is a man who’s been in office for 5 decades and has been wrong about everything. This is the the same cretin that said dont take out bin laden.
This isn’t Biden. The drooler-in-Chief doesn’t know what day it is, much less anything about the Middle East.
THIS IS OBAMA FINISHING WHAT HE STARTED.
Why do you think our border is wide open? The door mat reads;
“Welcome Muslim Brotherhood “. Obammy placed it there via Jerky Joey and “heels up” Kamala. We’ve already got a kazillion Muslim Brothers here anyway.
And why has the military swept Joey and Jilly off to Camp David? They were supposed to be in Delaware for the month. Oops..change of plans.
Wasn’t it JoeBama who said…
”You need F-15’s and Nuclear Weopons” to take down a government.
The Cavemen seem to still be doing just fine after all these years.
To take over a country, all you need is crooked voting machines and an army of scumbags willing to steal an election.
Agreed, but JoeBama said the Vietcong in essence were more powerful than these Cave Dwellers who for 20 years should prove to everyone that when a group commits, there is no stopping them. 20 years! I blame the whole of Congress for this crap although I’m not surprised, history itself is cyclical. 1000’s of years history is provided.
Money it seems is never enough!
The basic Problem in the USA is We have Not Comitted Ourselves to the principles of the Founders.
We have failed to pledge our lives, our fortune, and the sacred honor is gone.
The Taliban win because they fight against overwhelming odds and win in their country. We have abandoned our country.
Maybe, but war is also really profitable to many pieces of human trash in the military contractor world
Congress only knows what the Pentagram tells them.
The link between the general class and defense contractors MUST BE BROKEN!!!
Nailed it!
We went to war with people living in mud huts.
Biden is a fool!!!! He has the blood of every Patriot that fought and died there on his hands. That poor country, those poor civilians, and LIBERALS RUIN EVERYTHING THEY TOUCH. It is impossible to have one iota of respect for any of their ilk. #nocoexist
