So can you clearly spell put your position here? I haven't had coffee yet.

Does the 75%+ surprise you? I think most thought it was probably overdue to get out of there, but as you can also see by the poll, most thought it was executed in terrible fashion.

I'm just tired of reading the same stupid attack over and over. You seem to think it's some badazz dig against the guy. There is such a thing as going to the well too often. Your worse than BillStime and the website that won't let him in, or the ever tiresome Chef Jom Crow. Get some new material.

What did Doc do to make you such a psycho about HCQ, and when are you going to get TF over it?

if only to chase.

You're just deflecting man. Per that agreement we had to have us troop totals down to 8600 troops. There was nothing preventing this administration from sending more troops in to ensure that this withdrawal could be done in a safe manner. But I think you know this. Regardless, I think we are done conversing, you and I.

With the #<$%ing Taliban? Resulting in the loss of American life? You cant possibly be serious. And you are flat out nuts if you think this makes any other country trust us. American lives were/are at stake and you are worried about offending the Taliban. Unreal. Regardless, there was NO REASON to pull put this early, and without coordinating with our allies and civilians.

Stop looking at this through partisan blinders. I agree that Trump is a POS, ok? He was right that we needed to get out of Afghanistan though. Unfortunately, we just can't blame him for how bad Biden @#$%ed this withdrawal up. There was nothing that prevented him from implementing a real evacuation instead of this disasterous panicked retreat, outside of his half azzed attempt to be out by 9/11. I know you want it to be the POS Trump, but this is all on Biden. And since when did he have an issue with overriding ANY of the previous administration's works? He set a freaking EO record. Just stop with the Trump crap.

Your forgot to include stuff that doesn't support your position. First: The United States, its allies, and the Coalition will complete withdrawal of all remaining forces from Afghanistan within the remaining nine and a half (9.5) months (From February). That's the end of the year. PLENTY of time to secure our bases with more troups, withdraw our citizens and allies, collect our property, and evacuate our troops. Second. 1. (The Taliban) Guarantees and enforcement mechanisms that will prevent the use of the soil of Afghanistan by any group or individual against the security of the United States and its allies. This one stands on it's own. Jail tanks! I love it. I heard they are storing those Soviet era nuke back packs in the library at Sing Sing.

Let me ask you. If YOU were going to pull out of a country like Afghanistan, would you consider putting some reinforcements in there until you could evacuate the civis, and THEN pull the troops and equipment?

What am I missing, did DeSantis tell parents not to vaccinate their kids? What's the point here?

Dude, what's wrong with you? Trump was a piece of garbage, but he didn't oversee this pullout of Afghanistan. This administration did. You trying to blame everything on Trump makes you look like a fool and a coward.

Tanks?

I don't think you can win that kind of war, my friend. When you have no way of telling the good guys from the bad guys, the best you can hope for is a permanent stalemate.

What policies should they have enacted? Sorry, must have missed this. So your plan is to kill anyone in Afghanistan who is or could be a Taliban?

Own it, you think your harder than Beas...

Um yes, you are . You can disagree without acting like a child yourself. Why would you ask someone to do this?

Why are you trying to score political points on a message board about COVID death rates?

Not everyone can be as HARD as 716er.

You can put up concrete barriers, check points, have bomb sniffing dogs, there's plenty you can do. Now that we've drawn down so many of our soldiers and abandoned any strategic advantages we have there's no choice but to trust the Taliban.

I think he's got to secure the airport with everything he's got, and then continue with the evacuation.

I think Orange Bills covered it pretty well. We should have first beefed up our soldiers on the ground, pulled our civilians our (both American and Afghani) and then pulled out our military, taking every piece of equipment we could get our hands on. Frankly, the best thing we have going for us right now is that the Taliban is trying to gain some legitimacy on the world stage, and not killing as many civilians as normal isn't a bad way to start, considering where they came from.

It's true, not sure what's going to change though, besides making the 8/31 evacuation deadline impossible to meet. There will be Americans and interpreters trapped in that @$#%hole, it's time for the president to stand up and do something here.

Choice really has nothing to do with it here, unless you are talking about choosing not to spend. An pay increase for our lowest paid workers will generally spell a cost increase to our lowest income segments. It's essentially robbing Peter to pay Peter. Nice political theater, but in reality it's probably not going to help.

By everything I am seeing from you in PPP, that label applies to you.
