You really used The Nation as a nonbiased source?

That’s about the same as posting a Fox News article.

They are quoting the Texas Tribune, wise guy

[jbock13]

Texas Tribune is also pretty well known for its liberal bias.

FoxNation is an excellent subscription.

If any of you are considering a financial donation to help in Afghanistan I would consider Samaritan Purse. Good work, solid doctrinally.

Mission to Military might be a good place now.

CIA warned him. He was even pressed on this. NYTimes & NBC among others are reporting this. It's mystifying that he defied their guidance in such a stubbornly misguided manner. Why?

And he just denied being informed about the situation
Or that we had troops in Syria
His Stephanopolos interview is shocking
And now he’s back in DE. And before someone goes all “But Trump” you knew what Trump was doing. Biden is back in basement hiding campaign hide mode.

Biden's attitude is unparalleled in a time of crisis. And he created the crisis. Even foreshadowed it by painting images of Saigon in our heads, several days prior. He's the same scatter-brained guy he always was. It seems that most thought he'd rely primarily on advisors and intelligence. Why should he? He's a self-described foreign policy expert, after all.

He's a perfect representation of current Washington. Just look at how much money his family has made hanging out there. But he's woke so he's good.

Seems like Milley wants to be the fall guy. Ultra-serious weirdo.

guys trying to do what Ford and Carter did in 8 years in just 8 months!

Hopfully they have enough sence to call in competent people like Mike Pompeo to help get best results out of a very bad situation. Kind of a all hands on deck moment.

[paradox]

They won't grab a Republican. However, arguably, the most qualified Democrat available, Leon Panetta, is on record comparing this miscalculation to the humiliation suffered In the Bay of Pigs fiasco.

Isn’t Pompeo the guy responsible for the Taliban deal in the first place?

Negotiations yes. Cutting out with 15,000 Americans still in the country, no.

Word is that British paratroopers are busy rescuing UK citizens in Kabul and bringing them to the airport. Exactly what our Defense Secretary says we "don't have the capability" of doing. Our troops on the ground disagree strongly with this assessment, and are extremely frustrated because they are not being allowed to do the same.

My guess is Biden will do what Ben Shapiro has predicted. Bribe the Taliban in return for safe passage for our people and a promise not to tell anyone we did it (which they will break within a month to brag about how they duped us).

Do some research. Mike had a good plan for leaving. It was over turn just like everything else the past administration had going.

Wow. Just watched Fox Nation Tucker interview with Lara Logan, titled Afghanistan What Really Happened. She will leave your head spinning. Stokes you would find it very interesting. Left me believing truth is in the middle. And it's not pretty.

[stokesjokes]

Obviously Biden has made a complete mess of things, but I’m just saying Pompeo didn’t do us any favors with the deal in the first place. Wouldn’t be on my list of people to get involved at this point.

[TH Spangler]

Pompeo would be my earhtly choice. Christian. I want to watch her interview again through a Biblical lens. She runs up the pecking order of who's calling the shots on the world stage until she can't identify who it is.

God's timeline moving along?


Heres what the Trump administration plan was.

[stokesjokes]

Ah, the “we were just kidding!” defense. Classic

What they did was legitimize the Taliban and undermine the Afghan president/government, which, according to your article, was their secret plan anyway.

[stokesjokes]

My conspiracy idea that I’ve been floating around in my head: Biden was cavalier about this because he thought it would turn out one of two ways:

1. It’s a success, he’s a hero
2. It’s a failure and he can blame the previous administration, but “hey, we’re out.”

[paradox]

Hard to imagine a Biden-friendly conspiracy here. It's pretty indefensible and unlike anything we've ever seen. Worse yet, we're not even willing to engage in a real rescue plan. This administration is completely impotent and lost in a deviant form of reverie.

[stokesjokes]

Oh, I don’t mean it to be Biden friendly. I mean he saw this as a possible tool to throw the previous administration under the bus.

[paradox]

Biden can try to complain that he was the one left holding the bag. But the problem is that they ignored intelligence warnings. And he was so sure of himself that he didn't even have a back-up plan. Even the liberal media can't bail him out, although they are protecting him. Apparently, ABC News, edited out, Biden falsely claiming that his son served in Afghanistan. And CNN is getting a little defensive about 25th Amendment speculation. However, speculation is getting more legitimate by the day, at least conversationally.

[stokesjokes]

I can’t wait to vote in someone under retirement age. I’m tired of hearing about the 25th.
