    most of the ones we trained will be Taliban soldier before you know it, they don't really care, they don't have the same type of Country loyalty our military has

    Afghanistan is a bunch of separate tribal groups of people that have not really united as one yet

    But that excuse just doesn't fly in a situation like this. In addition to campaigning heavily on his foreign policy 'expertise', Biden has been President for nearly 9 months now and in that time has canceled dozens upon dozens upon dozens of Trump era policies and deals. Very very few people are buying the blame game he is trying to play here, including a long list of allied countries and media defenders.

    sure it does, Trump released 5000 Taliban prisoners last year with his "deal", that is a lot of Taliban, many of which were a part of this take over, and look who is the leader of the Taliban now - it played a huge part in this - on top of that Trump brought home 13000 soldiers, many just days before Biden took office

    Well consider how those 5000 came to be prisoners in the first place. Trump era actions reduced the Taliban from some 210,000+ force size in the Obama era to around 65-75,000. We gave some back, personally I think they should have been killed since they're savage terrorist scum but that's just now how the world worlds (plus liberals would have gone insane). But regardless if everything Trump had done was so bad then why did the Biden Administration take no corrective action these last 9 months? We were told just how brilliant and capable Biden was in matters like this so either that was a massive lie or someone in his ranks wanted this to happen.

    it was a tinder box, Trump left Afghanistan with so few Troops, 2500 I believe, and Trump restocked the Taliban army with an addl 5000 troops with his prisoner release

    it was a gamble, hoping the Taliban wanted us out so bad they would just let us go, heck... maybe help us pack

    still to be seen how bad this gets, let's hope for the best

    China Joe Biden and the Democrats supporting him are a danger to the U.S.A. and the world.

    Biden was not bound by anything. He's been running this since January and we see the results there and in the world stage.

    The UK Parliament passed a measure to hold the President of the United States in contempt yesterday. WOW that really solidifies our relationship.

    Trump already released the 5000 Taliban prisoners, not much Biden could do to reverse that, Trump should have brought our people home before releasing them

    Trump already released the 5000 Taliban fighters, Biden could not undo that sadly

    Which has to do with what to what I posted

    How many did Biden and Obama release if you want to play that game.

    Maybe Biden's legacy will be to end our reign as the World's police force.

    My friend and I went on a 16-hour road trip. I drove the first 8 hours and then he took over. Seven hours later I awoke and discovered that he took the wrong exit. I guess his missing the exit was my fault, right?

    And I remember all of the leftist hacks parroting how the U.S. would once again be respected around the world with Biden in charge. LOL.

    It's possible we'll have to remain engaged in Afghanistan.

    It's like a magnet, with iron filings surrounding that airport.

    If the Taliban wants to let ISIS, Al Qaeda, etc., set up base there, it may be prudent for us to hit them. Of course, once our forces finally get out of there, I'm confident that the Biden Regime would let the Taliban build nukes and wouldn't intervene.

    I would like to see that end. We are far too deep in debt to keep up the role

    Whats embarrassing is the fact our leader armed the taliban and is getting Americans killed who were left behind, as well as our allies. Its REALLY embarrassing.

    Essentially this, the buck stops with the commander in chief. He's supposed to observe situations and make judgment calls and those calls can even be wrong, but here's the key: When they are wrong, owe up to it, make a commitment to fixing the mistakes and plugging the hole ASAP. That's not what he did, that's not even what VP Harris did.

    What they did, was akin to Trump's leadership on the coronavirus issue: They ran away instead of confronting. What we need to do in 2024 is regardless of whose party it comes from, we need to find someone who's willing to confront issues head on, and isn't afraid of taking it on the chin.

    What??? Trump was on it from the get-go, implemented travel safeguards and restrictions at the same time that prominent Democrats were telling everyone to attend parades and street fairs. As well, Fauci himself said that Trump implemented EVERY one of his recommendations. So where do you come up with your conclusion that Trump "ran" from the Covid crisis? Or are you just trying to play both sides of the fence?
