Exactly! I have never seen a bigger collection of insecure crybabies in all of my life.
That is pure trump spin.
I have to protest against THAT characterization.
For one thing, a "LMAO" doesn't have the confrontation effect you think it does.
Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday said she was the “last person in the room” with President Biden when he made the decision to pull all US troops out of Afghanistan.
In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Harris was asked about Biden’s statement that he wanted the VP to be “the last voice in the room,” particularly when making big decisions, like he was when he served as vice president under Barack Obama.
VP Harris says she was last person in the room before Biden’s withdrawal decision

Nope the idiot I speak of is still occupying the oval office and sticking head head out long enough for chocolate chip ice cream cones on a probnably daily basis.
I imagine they'll try to explain it in the same way idiot extraordinaire Ron Johnson explains how Walz's 2-week trip to China as a teacher of 2nd language back in the 80's was as an undercover agent for the Chinese government who sent him back to American to spy on the Americans by getting appointed as assistant coach for 20 years and then waiting to get picked by Harris as her VP running mate so they could get into office and and turn America into a vassel state for the Chinese regime. Yep, makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
A phased and orderly withdrawal was already in the works. That's why there were only roughly 2400 troops remaining when the idiot (Biden) took office. And they were not dying. Trump made it clear to the Taliban that any US withdrawal would have been subject to Taliban compliance.
There was very little conflict left at that point for US troops. The Afghans were doing the brunt of the fighting and dying. At that point the remaing troops were largely providing air support for ops that needed it. As for some troops possibly still remaining if trump had been re-elected, that's entirely possible as we still maintain some troops in Iraq to this day. Are you not aware of that? The plan was not supposed to be just turning things over to the Taliban.
Now please tell us how Trump would have handled the last 2400 troops withdrawal without the possibility of one terrorist blowing themselves up in a crowd which had some military personal nearby.
Thanks for supporting my point if Trump had a second term the war in Afghanistan would continue and the US would still have a ground presence.
It makes perfect sense. I'm sure the MAGA's could also tell me: "How many chocolate chip cookies it takes to shingle a red brick house".
hardly. there was nothing wrong with the initial plan.
no but she was the "last one in the room" , along with being responsible for the border.
Really. I guess freeing five thousand terrorists is always a great! idea.....lmao
Still clinging to the made up "Border Czar" garbage, eh?
Once again, Trump let it be known that an American withdrawal would be subject to Taliban compliance.
Likely outcome would hve been an end to the war with a small contingent of troops left behind, just like in Iraq.
And he may have given a second term.
And that we are not at war in Iraq and other places in the middle east, right?
The Afghan government fell to the taliban because Biden just pulled up stakes immediately and left. if you want to claim the Afgghans were not prepared to handle the Taliban after we left, that's fiar, however that blame can be shared by three administrations. Biden made it worse by just pulling up stakes abruptly. the Taliban took advantage.
Trump owns a piece of the withdrawal. Especially if you consider the possibility that one or more of the bombers could have been freed BY TRUMP.
Trump withdrew troops to only leave 2,500 from 13,000. Given what was going on regarding the Taliban's advances, how was that leaving the right kind of support?
Why would they since the former administration did nothing prior to enforce the agreement? Part of the condition was for the Taliban to negotiate a ceasefire with the Afghan government, but instead they resumed their offensive.
How was it a "mad dash" when the withdrawal date was announced months ahead of it? The allies knew the date, as did the Afghan government. The bulk of the equipment the Taliban seized were the ones belonging to the Afghan government, because they were left for them.
You are not making alot of sense. Trump shares ownership in the concept of a US withdrawal of forces from Afghanistan, however he has no ownership in the chaotic withdrawal that Biden ordered. Given an immediate second term, it's quite doubtful that Trump would have handled it that badly. He would have first made sure all American civilians were evacuated, as well as many Afghan personell who assisted the US. And he would have ordered an organized dismantling of Bagram Air Force base rather then leaving it to the Taliban. And as a last move, he would have staged an orderly withdrawal of troops. You can yammer on and suggest that trump would have went for a mad dash like Biden did, however no objective individual will take you too seriously.
So why was he pushing for a May 1st withdrawal when none of the terms of the agreement was being followed by the Taliban.
Not the way things were playing out on the ground. The Taliban were moving in on Kabul, and it was clear they were not interested in sharing control of power as outlined in the Doha Agreement.
Based on that alone? Probably not.
But that's exactly what Trump was going to do, and he was advocating for an even earlier withdrawal than Biden. Nothing on the ground prior to May 1st indicated there would have been a different scenario than what played out. The Taliban were not going to share power with the Afghan government, and were continuing their advance throughout the country. The Afghan government fell because without the US it was apparent to them everything would collapse.
I am not clinging to anything. Biden said she was responsible for stemming the tide of illegal immigration back when HE ASSIGNED IT TO HER.
By the time the troops were down to around 2500, they were primarily just providing iar support to Afghan ops when requested.
Trump probably did not expect Biden to **** it up so badly and he likely expected an immediate second term. Had that occured and he had ****ed it up similarly, then you would have a point.
BS. Biden's own military advisors warned him against the hasty withdrawal. he would not listen.
Well, the bipartisan bill that Trump squashed certainly would have helped. That said, I'm sure you have a convenient excuse as to why that was done. Probably something like, "It was a terrible bill", or something equally ridiculous.
Yep, but the Taliban had been advancing well before that. Why did the former administration reduce it that much knowing the Taliban was gaining more ground?
It was already going sideways. If you have an agreement that's being violated
There was no hasty withdrawal. It had been planned for months. Military advisors were against the entire withdrawal to begin with. There was no withdrawal from Afghanistan that was not going to feature the Taliban taking over. That was very clear during the former administration's tenure, yet they continued their withdrawal plan.
...at this point would be the Serenity Prayer.
LOL you mean the comment Kamala harris agreed to? that she was the last one in the room on the afghanistan issue? THAT "illogical reference"?
the only thing that stupid bill did was institutionalize way too much illegal entry, without addressing some other very important solutions. It was worthless.
