Taliban taking over Afghanistan

[Shaps]

President Biden struck a defiant tone yesterday, announcing without regret that the withdrawal from Afghanistan was proceeding. Uncompromising leadership against the face of establishment opposition to ending of the Afghanistan Occupation, ceding to American desire to end a costly war supporting a feckless, weak Afghanistan government.

What we're seeing on the right and left are shitting on a President who made a firm commitment. The Left feels Afghanistan can be rescued, but doesn't know how. The Right fears the reduction of income from their defense industry lobbyists. Both wrong.

Afghanistan originally had a mission to remove Al Queda, it was successful and mission was complete. The secondary mission, to install a democratic government and nation build was a 20 year failure, which should have never happened. Tens of millions of dollars are sitting in the pockets of government officials who embezzled an fled, or are now in flight. Tens of BILLIONS in equipment are in the hands of the Taliban when the Afghanistan government, their police, their military showed their belly and surrendered.

Afghanistan failing is the story, not the President who against demamds of establishment military and war profiteering lobbyists finally pulled us out of the failed mission.

You mean President Trumps plan to withdraw right? Even Biden said it was Trump's plan to fully withdraw. So again, you're welcome for President Trump being so forward thinking, and attempting to stop the military industrial complex and endless wars.

It's the how that Biden fucked up so much... so really... does he deserve any credit?
