In general, I think Biden is doing an excellent job and is a refreshing change from narcissistic predecessor, but this Afghanistan withdrawal was poorly handled. It is a wrenching coda to our twenty-year occupation.
Many will most likely disagree with me. The situation we are in in Afghanistan right now was set up but the previous so called president, not by Biden. We need to get out of there, that's it. But if the previous idiot would have started removing the Afghanis that needed to get out of there, there wouldn't be so many to evacuate now.
Sorry that you think Trump would have had the foresight to get people out. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and we watched in horror Trump’s lack of response after a hurricane. Much as “W” abandoned New Orleans after Katrina.
I am doing great today! I thought your message was yours and not a forward. Oops! I usually proof read. Obviously I didn’t! If you or I had done all of the criminal acts as Trump has we would already be in prison.
There most have been a typo. I couldn’t find a comment that Trump would have done a more efficient evacuation. I did write that he signed the evacuation with the Taliban. I wrote that I have never hated anyone except Trump. I wrote he was NOT responsive during Puerto Rico’s hurricane. “W” was on vacation during Katrina and it took him a couple of days just to do a fly over the devastation. Trump is a narcissist an egotistical ass. I am 100% for Biden. I think the logistics of evacuation could have been better. For example, starting evacuation in early July with the airport fully protected. Intelligence must have known that once we left the Taliban would take the Country city by city. Their military was incapable of defending their Country from the Taliban. Personally, I feel if all it took was 2,500. troops to maintain security we should have stayed and avoided this chaos. The Taliban will grow in strength and numbers and we are more vulnerable against another attack. We can thank Trump for this and hundreds of other messes.
Trump wouldn't have the foresight to blow his own nose if it was running. But he was the one who negotiated with the Taliban and set up the terms that President Biden had to deal with.
Enlighten me. Other Presidents have reversed something a previous President has done so why not on this? The media needs to blast Trump for his decision and the repercussions. I have only truly hated one person in my life:Trump. If ONLY he had died from Covid but not all dreams don’t come through. Cheney is a runner up.
Orange head signed an agreement with the Taliban that we would be completely out by May of 2021. Biden should never have honored it. I was behind President Biden 100% but not any more. What do we say to the parents, wives, husbands, children and siblings who died? Oops! We could have remained as peace keepers. No soldier has been killed in a year. What about our pompous attitude of other Countries human rights? Trump let Syria kill their own people because they wanted more freedom. President Clinton ignored the slaughter in Croatia and Bosnia. Yet “W” attacked Iraq because of WMD’s when they KNEW there weren’t any. Now that the Taliban will organize and grow in numbers prepare at least psychologically for another 9/11. It is always the innocent civilians that suffer and die in these situations. I wanted Vietnam to end but not leaving people who helped us behind. Sad, sad time for the World and shame on the U.S. by the World. I am just sick.
never belonged there in the first place, but once binLaden was eliminated we should have left!!!

Yes, ‘the previous Idiot,’ did botch this up, as he did in almost every
other matter. His first rule was monetizing for he and his friends.

Don't know who organized this calamity, but sometimes red tape has to be ignored for the greater good and reconsidered.

That should have read the families of those soldiers that were killed, maimed a d have PTSD. Sorry! We screwed up.
Nailed it!
Yes, unquestionably the withdrawal could have been handled better. However, there was an ever growing call to end this seemingly ageless conflict.
