Biden was truthful, the withdrawal was a success in his mind.
Xi wouldn't have wanted to start a war with the US to get it, so, yeah, the 2500 American troops there would have kept China from taking it.
Yup, the Left HATED Orange Man, but the rest of the world feared & respected him. Show me any world leader, who respects Biden or has the least bit of fear about Biden?
You would think that would be obvious even to Ted, but no....
You realize the withdraw was negotiated with the taliban under the trump administration right, including the dates for a total withdraw? The 2500 troops weren't welcome past the agreed withdraw dates and the 18months of no casualties would surely have ended if we didn't hold up our end of the deal with the Taliban.
The world laughed at trump, literally, on several occasions.

A conditions based withdrawal on May 1st. Taliban was not meeting those conditions, so Biden had an out of the agreement (if he wanted). Biden didn't abide by the May 1st agreement, instead he wanted a 9/11 political "mission accomplished" commercial. So changed the withdrawal date, even though Taliban were not meeting conditions in agreement. Biden ran on getting out of Afghanistan. The withdrawal happened on his watch, on his schedule. He owns it.
The Taliban wouldn't accept anything beyond the extension. It's well documented. Or again, are you suggesting we send in more troops and stay forever? You seem to go back and forth on this.

BS cannot see those were not the only choices. That is because he views the world through internet memes that provide simple-minded 'solutions' he thinks he can understand.
They already "accepted" moving the date from May 1st to September 11/August 31st. Since 2014 it had largely been fighting between Afghan Army and Taliban. US was providing strategic support and air cover.The Taliban wouldn't accept anything beyond the extension. It's well documented. Or again, are you suggesting we send in more troops and stay forever? You seem to go back and forth on this.
Taliban says it won’t accept extension to Biden’s Aug. 31 Afghanistan withdrawal deadline
The Taliban said there will be 'consequences" if Biden extends his Afghan withdrawal deadline.
September 11/Aug 31. What does that even mean?
Biden deployed more troops in the withdraw. It was messy and could have been done better, but hindsight is 20/20.
What were the multiple options? How do you know the results of any other option wouldn't have had similar or worse outcomes?
Why would they, we withdrew our troops and handed over Bagram air base to them.The Taliban wouldn't accept anything beyond the extension. It's well documented. Or again, are you suggesting we send in more troops and stay forever? You seem to go back and forth on this.

A withdrawal after a 20 year occupation as an indigenous radical islamic group is taking control of the country is not gonna go smoothly, I don't care who is president.
The deaths are 100% avoidable likely had the military not been pulled out ahead of time. Fact. And the 100 or so Americans still there prove your statement I quoted here wrong.
Sounds like you have been reading the same memes as BS.
At what point do you have to decide for yourself to leave if you are going to? This has been coming for years.
Says the guy who downplays the insurrection where they "literally" built a functioning gallows. Never change.
You mean the 11,000 troops trump pulled out in 2020?
Did they 'literally' chop someone's head off to prove it was functioning, or did you see that in a meme, BS?
Sure, just like the mess he left Joe with the southern border. How is that clean up going, in you view, Bob?
PS, did Trump's deal require the US to close Bagram and remove troops before US citizens and allies were out? Do you think it did, Bob?
Change the subject.......and you can't put 5000 people back in prison once they're out, no one wanted to send troops back in, you can't make the Afghan government credible after ignoring them in the negotiations for the future of their country.
No I mean the military Bidet pulled out while leaving so many civilians to die. You can keep trying to pin this on Trump all you want with your TDS, but the FACT is this is all on Bidet and his monumental stupidity.
See now you're just going to confuse him with facts.
Sorry, it is not fair to Bob to do that.
But you can hammer the Taliban like Trump did from time to time to help them 'see reason.'
Insurrection 🤣🤣
Great, another say nothing post from Jrcrist.
BS has been reading about it on his usual meme sources.
The troops shouldn't have been pulled out to start with. And yeah, Biden made errors by believing the Afghans would would hold up.......and he waited too long to send troops back in. Shocking that he didn't want to send troops BACK INTO a country we were trying to get out of.
No, hammer them as soon as they started violating whatever agreement Biden thought he had, whatever that was. It is not clear Joe had any idea, but it is clear that Trump was never so dumb as to agree to abandon Bagram and withdraw troops before our people were out.
WTF is that? You are right he is going to a level of stupid no Bob has gone before . I think he means to say I voted for an impotent POS.
The Taliban was violating the agreement WHILE TRUMP WAS STILL IN OFFICE. How many times do you people need to hear that? Look it up. He did NOTHING either.
Bob, you are shouting again. Lighten up.
This is a really poor argument, even for you Bob. Starting in November and running through next May, the Taliban grunt soldiers will be busy planting and harvesting their poppy/opium crops. This is their downtime. They DON’T fight then. It’s been this way for years.
