Biden hammered for spending time at Camp David while Taliban take over Afghanistan

At least he's not golfing constantly and claiming that only he and he alone can fix it.

To spend 4 years looking the other way, and then pointing fingers at Biden is pathetic.

And unlike Trump, I'm sure he actually has competent people working on it..not a know nothing son -in law.

Not to worry, CNN and MSDNC will praise Biden’s brilliant bug-out plan to remove the US military and control of our in country bases before removing US civilians and Afghan interpreters.

Yeah - I'm not worried. I guess the obvious sarcasm in my post slid right by you, eh?
 
Well here we are folks with another Biden FUBAR moment! Just about everything he has touched has resulted in a major crisis that will result in grave consequences for all of us. And the sad thing it has only been 7 months.

Hyperbolic horseshit that also assumes facts not in evidence.

How do you feel about the 5,000 Taliban released last year after the Trump administrations negotiations with the Taliban? In retrospect, does this like it was a good idea?

The release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners, which the United States agreed to in a February deal with the insurgents that also began the phased withdrawal of American troops, faced opposition from the Afghan government, which is holding the prisoners. After prolonged pressure from the Trump administration, Mr. Ghani released 4,600 prisoners from a list provided by the Taliban but called for consultations over 400, who he said were accused or convicted of major crimes, including murder, that were beyond his authority to pardon.
At the start of the consultative assembly, on Friday, more than 3,000 delegates crammed themselves under one tent in the capital, Kabul, despite fears of the coronavirus. Mr. Ghani said his government was at a crossroads.

“The Taliban have said that if the 400 prisoners are released the direct talks between our negotiating team and the Taliban will start three days later,” he said in his pitch to the delegates, seeking their advice. “In the meantime, they have threatened that if they are not released, not only they will continue their war and violence but they will escalate it.”

Its funny, I saw footage of him riding a bike and thought how amusing it would be to see Trump get up on one if those things and pedal around.

Would be even funnier to watch Trump try to mount a horse. The horse would be like no way I'm letting that fatboy get on my back.
 
The recent events in Kabul were guaranteed by US actions going back two decades. There was no way for a good ending in Afghanistan other than permanent US occupation. I can't be the only one who remembers the criticisms that an Afghan army was not likely to happen no matter how much money was poured into the country. We can thank George W Bush for what we are seeing today. (Barack Obama did us no favors in agreeing to the surge.)
 
What do you want Joe to do?

Get a gun?

I'm sure none of them are involved in recent developments. I think they all personally promised Mr. Trump that they would stay on vacation in Waziristan for the next couple of years.
