    Obama said the same, he said shake it up. For taking the wrong advice, of course he is responsible.

    I would have to actually care about your opinion to take it as a slight. I just chuckle at the ironic projection.

    I think most Americans want to move on, we just think we should take care what we leave behind.

    I'm over here laughing at the idea that you would've let Trump off this easy if this had happened on his watch.

    The idea withdrawal would have been a mess no matter what is astoundingly stupid.

    we didn’t have to leave Americans, we didn’t have to arm the taliban

    that was on reckless racist joe

    Happy to be a source of entertainment. The world needs more laughter!
    At least the corners of your mouth are headed in the right direction!
    And, by the way, I personally would have said the same thing, and have. I do hate Trump, but I did try to call it for what it was even when he was president Example, when he sent tomahawks to Syria. And they didn't even kill any Americans in that one.

    By not leaving out Americans behind or arming the enemy could have made it far better at the very least. I mean...that’s basic stuff

    It's real easy to come with "what". It's the "how" thing that's tricky. If frogs had wings, they wouldn't bump their ass when they jump.
    Thanks for the quality contribution, though!

    And the current administration completely failed. Is it your position that we shouldn’t criticize reckless racist joe?

    It's a heck of a lot easier to give advice than it is to take it.

    So the US Government knew so little about what was happening in Afghanistan that they had no idea the Afghan Security Forces would evaporate and the Taliban immediately take over, but they were able to find within 24 hours the precise ISIS-K "planner" to kill? OK.

    Good we had a swift response too bad it was such a weak one. It was some low level guy who had nothing to do with the Kabul attack out on some road. As heard one former officer note this is the kind of attack we routinely did sometimes several a day before the Biden retreat.

    YES let's hit their HQ's and get multiple top level leaders.

    I'm hearing they have no evidence he was the "planner" of the Kabul attack. He is just "a planner". So Biden scrambles with a "kill someone, anyone you can find to make it look like I'm a tough guy" operation.

    In a dramatic show of force President Biden located the suicide bombers that killed our troops in Kabul.

    I am good whenever terrorists get nailed. Just so we are clear, there is zero claim that these are the guys that planned the airport bombing.
