    Amazing that is not how the media presented Trumps comments.

    This is a mistake. This is about 22 Afghan Commando's executed by the Taliban.

    no, it is not a mistake. I am sorry that you cannot follow the flow of a thread on an internet forum but the discussion had moved to the agreement signed in 2020.

    oh, and there is nothing in that agreement to keep them from killing the 22 Afghan Commandos

    So when you start a topic, you will approve me moving the goal posts to my topic?

    I am sorry you refuse to remain on topic.

    Every thread on this forum always includes side discussions, it is the very nature of humans having discussions, they always go off on tangents.

    how is it you do not know this?

    Trump left Americans trapped behind Taliban checkpoints with no plan to get them out of the country?

    This latest disaster was brought to you by the faithless, traitorous duopoly. Both of the controlling, dictatorial parties are complicit.

    You haven't laid out any real case that it benefits the US to remain in Afghanistan. Sometimes in the game of chess as in life you have to sacrifice a pawn to take a castle.

    Invasion is always so easy. Extraction is always "complicated". Whoever was in charge knew that at the outset of this fiasco. They did it anyway.

    Intra means within. The only government "within" is the Taliban. If the agreement was to include the previous Afghan government and the Taliban the phrase that would have been used would be "inter" not "intra"

    No different to what the US do, there's even videos of US soldiers doing that in Afghanistan which little doubt you defended. And no different to what the US did in Iraq in the first gulf war on Iraqi soldiers fleeing Kuwait where thousands of soldiers were executed after they had already left Kuwait

    LOL, you almost had that one. Back when the deal was struck, there were two forces in Afghanistan. So, you're wrong.

    But only one force was part of the agreement, the other was left out of the process....it is almost as if they knew when we left that force would no longer be relevant.

    No, you have not. The previous Afghan government was not part of the negations between the US and the Taliban. They were left out of the process, why do you suppose that was?

    and then you prove me correct, you do not know what it means.

    Thanks for doing that.

    And while this has been fun, I am out of here for an end of the week golfing trip with the wife...this is calling my name...
