Withdrawal from Afghanistan "panic" is a Nothingburger

[BoyNextDoor]

Apart from a few panicked Afghanis trying to ride a C-17 up to 40,000 feet when their President ran away with $160M in cash, getting out of Afghanistan is just another day.

No big deal. Except for the American war machine that owns the networks trying to make a big deal out of it and instill fear and the usual suspects and braying jackasses who would hate on Biden if he built a wall on the southern border.

Good job President Biden!

 

[Champakian]

Can you prove he has that cash,
or is that just one of those things
that everyone knows (based on Taliban sources)?

By no account, other than the most blindly partisan, has President Biden done a good job.

Since July he has been preparing us for the eventuality of an orderly handover...

Thousands of Americans stranded, women murdered in the street for lack of a burqa, American military hardware being sent to Pakistan, China and Iran intel agencies, people hunted down like dogs and shot for collaboration with the US...

So what would a total fuck-up look like to you?

If anyone anywhere thinks that an orderly non-chaotic withdrawal was truly possible, I've got some beach front property in Kansas for y'all. Bring cash.


The honest reality is that majority of the bitching is the usual partisan bullshit that brought us Buttery Males and a dozen plus investigations of Benghazi that led to the emails. It's just noise - hypocritical bullshit noise.

AKA the usual.

Your guy lost. Get over it.

The transfer of power in Afghanistan went better than it did in the US last election.

As expected, Lit’s armchair generals and Monday morning quarterbacks could have done a better job of withdrawing tens of thousands of people from a volatile and unfriendly war zone. And as usual, they never actually explain their better alternative.

(Meanwhile, not one American has been injured.)

 

[Bud_Spencer]

The US military knows how to make an orderly retreat. This wasn't it. This was a frenzied bug-out forced by a senile, incompetent goon's arbitrary deadline. A shit-show that even has the Dem poodle in the media saying it's a total fuck-up.

But Dementia Joe says the thousands of Americans stranded, the executions in the street, the billions in high-tech materiel left behind were all "part of the plan." If so, then we need new planners.

There are at least 10,000 potential hostages sitting in Kabul right now, waiting for the Talibs to snatch them up.

Why would he do that? The DNC's future is coming across the border by the millions, just as Joe wants.

What I find hilarious is the assertion is that Trump would have done it any better - and at least not worst. The trade war, the vaccine rollout, the deficit... the man can't administrate his way out of a paper bag, but he was somehow going to do it better?

They shouldn't have been in a war zone to begin with. Their choice.

Trump's plan was an event-based withdrawal, not time-based. Things only happened when the desired conditions were met. That's an orderly withdrawal. Joe's was time-based, where people just did shit at a given time no matter what. As any sane person can tell you, that's a recipe for disaster, which we now see.

We need a wall...right where the Mason Dixon Line is. Big beautiful wall. And we will pay for it because who wants Fascist traitors in their country?

And they had since April to leave

Our last Presidential election...

It was only "fucked up" because your guy did not win.

He got whupped in the popular vote by a margin of seven million votes.

How is that a "fuck up"?

Tell us.

Yeah that's great but the problem is that Trump's execution always sucked. Seriously. You can say what you think he might have done and what his intentions were, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Trump doesn't know how to administrate. No amount of words anyone spews will change that reality.

Nothing in your post refutes a word of what I said or shows that an event-based withdrawal would not have been superior.

Fail.

Dude... seriously?

Trump wouldn't know how to do it even if he had wanted to.

You should know by now, the DNC certainly does, that they can't count on the Latino vote.

If people didn't hire illegals...they wouldn't be here. But I get it....they work circles around white trash Republicans for half the price

Yeah, a mere 66% of the nationwide vote in 2020.
