The Taliban

Pretty surly mother fuckers, Jesus.

From the US perspective you cant win without going into the sticks and mountain valleys in some of the remotest backwater places on earth, and basically doing ethnic cleansing because the Taliban basically looks no different from your ordinary Joe Mohammed.

Only other alternative "win" is to keep some troops there, and over time win the ideological battle with the Islamists (no idea if even possible).

I saw a stat that in the big cities and country as a whole, only 20% of people support the Taliban.

Yet they get their ass kicked by 75k dudes with Chinese knock off aks and the Quran.

What a fucking nightmare. If we are going to piss away trillions of dollars there to attempt to pull of a Japan or Germany 2.0 we might as well station a few thousands troops like weve been doing to make sure the Taliban doesnt take the place over in a week.

    Art of the Deal?

    This is a tragedy and Joe is as wrong as Daddy was.

    And the Taliban used their deal with Daddy to execute their strategy. They outwitted us. All of us.

    This is a fucking disaster. But at least you're happy about it, so there's that.

    They didn't outwit all of us. The outwitted the people who wanted to be duped.

    Only one President offered a hard deadline for a complete pullout.

    Incorrect.

    But Joe is as wrong as Daddy on this.

    Blaming Trump for this is right on brand for the Dazzler.

    Last I heard, Joe Biden is the Commander-in-Chief and responsible for the withdrawal of our troops.

    Cute of you to bring “Daddy” into the fray and try to shift the blame to him.

    Biden is the POTUS and the planning and execution of this clusterfuck is on him.

    Trump is no longer the President.

    The buck stops with Biden.

    This should have been predictable. What are our intelligence agencies and military doing?

    They should have had the foresight to anticipate this.

    No, I am not happy about this.

    Daddy negotiated the timetable.

    Joe would have lots of contractual justifications for saying the deal is dead. Of course, he doesn't want to use them.

    Meanwhile, it was in our national interest not to have the Taliban harboring terrorists in Afghanistan. The passage of time hasn't changed that.

    Complete fucking lie. Biden set the 9/11 deadline for withdrawal, not Trump.

    AND all the military equipment and supplies we left behind.

    The Taliban racing through the countryside in Humvees . . . Unforeseeable.

    Negotiated drawdown and followed by withdrawal within 14 months. Daddy did that.

    You must be so happy that the country is being humiliated on Joe's watch.

    Biden has ripped up and destroyed every other thing Trump had done during his 4 years in office, he could have done something different if he wanted to.
    Madam, I've said that repeatedly. Today. Right here on this forum. How could someone who can't take Yes for an answer possibly have been able to procreate?

    Biden could have done something different, but chose not to . . . I blame Trump.

    You don't have to give a shit about them to know that the existence of a refuge for terrorists who hate America isn't in America's interests.

    No wonder Biden doesn't care
    Is this where we pretend there's a meaningful difference between Biden and Daddy on Afghanistan?

    Biden and Daddy are both wrong AF on Afghanistan. And only a liar would pretend there's any difference between them on the subject.

    We knew they were sheltering OBL before 9-11 and did spit. Clinton lawyered up and decided that he couldn't take him out. Bush wouldn't pull the trigger either. Terrorist build some camps, just take them out including anyone in the camps. Just like we did in World War II. Phuck the collateral damage. If the don't their women and kids killed just show the same concern about civilian lives that they do. Don't need any boots on the ground. Oh, and take out the poppy fields if they start acting up.

    Yes . . . Biden is Commander in Chief.

    If this had operationally gone decently, you wouldn’t say a peep about Trump.

    Unlike you, I've been worried about this ever since a negotiation with the Taliban was announced and a timetable for withdrawal was floated. I don't think Hillary would have done this. That is just one of the reasons she would have made a better President than Daddy or Joe. You girls would be bitching about us still being in Afghanistan, of course.
