If only we had sent Veep Throat to suck...er...address the "root causes" of Talib intransigence earlier!

No doubt in my mind she could have been part of the dumbest decision ever made by a President.

The decision to pull out was the right one. The decision to do so like this was insane.

What would you have done differently?

The decision to pull out was the right one. The decision to do so like this was insane.

The Trump administration handed him a plan and like all other plans handed to him in regard to a number of issues, Joe tossed them all out. You see, it's Joe's destiny to fail and he didn't want to disappoint Robert Gates.

What would you have done differently?

Waited for Winter when the fighting season was over.

 

[Bud_Spencer]

What would you have done differently?

Made withdrawal event-based, not time-based. Pull civilians first, then material as possible, finally troops, covering that with air power.

Waited for Winter when the fighting season was over.

Except trump specified the timeline in his contract with the taliban terrorists.

Not a bad plan. Wonder why the military folk didn’t think of it.

 

[pecksniff]

Everyone did expect the Taliban to win before too long.

 

[Rightguide]

Except trump specified the timeline in his contract with the taliban terrorists.

He didn't ask what Trump would have done differently. Trump did accept a plan to leave a significant residual force in place to facilitate the transition. Biden pulled them all.

 

[YDB95]

The Trump administration handed him a plan

A plan that consisted of lifting all sanctions on the Taliban and releasing 5,000 prisoners, some of whom are now among the leaders of the forces taking over Kabul - and, oh yes, which called for removing all troops by May, not to mention inviting the Taliban to Camp David. That's not a plan, that's Trump once again fawning over anyone who kowtows to him in any way no matter how repulsive they are.

 

[Rightguide]

Everyone did expect the Taliban to win before too long.

Everyone except Joe Biden, his NSC, General Milley, The Intel community, the national command authority at the DOD, The UNited States Congress, the national pro Biden media, et al.

The above is a lie.

They may have, but Biden overruled them.

 

[Rightguide]

They may have, but Biden overruled them.

They did, just like Obama overruled the generals in Iraq to create a massive debacle requiring a new surge of troops. Remember Obama put Joe in charge of managing the Iraq situation on the ground. He probably advised Obama to do the very same thing he just did.

Could be, but doesn’t make sense. Feel free to link me up.

 

[bellisarius]

Birds of a feather.

CBS's "Face The Nation" host Margaret Brennan asked Gates if he stood by a statement from his memoir that Biden has "been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."

He stood by the statement.

Because it's you, fuck you. Look it up yourself, it's current news.

In other words, you got nothing to back up your bullshit. Surprise, surprise. Sleep tight!

Nope, that's exactly what Trump did and it is all perfectly in character for him.

Yep.

The traitor in chief fucked up international foreign policy at every turn.

The Iran Nuclear Deal.

Provoking the escalation in tension between the Palestinians and Israel that led to the missile attacks and air strikes.

The Paris Climate Accords.

Relations with NATO allies.

The demoralization of America's diplomatic corp.

And of course, the deal with the Taliban.

It's also very likely that the traitor in chief's tiny ham handed approach to foreign policy left blind spots to the Covid pandemic.

SAD!!!

Giving audience to Kim Jong-Un and standing by while North Korea upped their nukes.

 

[YDB95]

Giving audience to Kim Jong-Un and standing by while North Korea upped their nukes.

And nearly giving them free rein for a nuclear attack out of a personal pique. (This was one of several disasters we avoided only because someone took a document off his desk and guessed correctly that he'd forget all about it!)
