    The middle east is a quagmire in many regions. And the term 'quagmire' is being polite, had I let my emotion get the better of me, I could easily find much worse and less politically correct pejoratives. The middle east is a quagmire. Every president prior to Biden knew this, and they also knew that pulling out of Afghanistan completely invited the risk of tragic mishaps, even when every contingency can be thought of, it's a quagmire and **** happens as it always does in the ME, tragic mishaps of which Biden is now facing and having to take responsibility for, noting that Biden is, indeed, doing just that, and that is the reason prior presidents did not pull out, is because they didn't have the courage to do it with this knowledge, they kicked the can further down the road. Trump did the same. He didn't get it done, just as he didn't get infrastructure done or get Mexico to pay for the wall.

    Only Biden had this courage, and there republicans sit, after backing the most heinous, corrupt, criminal and incompetent president in history, a president whose transgressions are now the subject of dozens of books, a president who, by virtue of undermining confidence in Democracy to some 65 million Americans, Trump has done more damage to America than Putin could have ever wished for, and now Republicans have the gall to accuse Biden of incompetence, noting that Trump struck a peace deal with the Taliban which called for sanctions to be lifted, U.S. troops to be out by May, and 5,000 Taliban prisoners to be released, and on top of that, he invited the Taliban leaders to Camp David, one of whom was Abdul Ghani Barador, the Taliban leader whom Trump had gotten freed from a Pakistani Jail three years prior. Yeah, there's a lot of hypocrisy in Washington, no doubt there is plenty to go around, but Republicans have taken hypocrisy to soaring new heights.

    In short, The opposite of what Biden's detractors are alleging about Biden is true. Biden will go down in history as one of the great presidents in the modern era. Is every move he made perfect? No. But no president is free from mistakes. Let's not forget that Biden has gotten over 123,000 airlifted out of Afghanistan in a very short period of time and lets not also forget that Afghani army, some 300,000 of them, far more than exist in the Taliban, refused to defened their country. No way could we, as a nation, continue to defend Afghanistan when they are not willing to fight for their own country. The real tragedy is that the war in Afghanistan has lasted for 20 years. Therefore, I stand by my president, and commend him for having the courage of his convictions, and not passing the buck to other presidents.

    As an anecdote, Biden has done more for me personally than any other president, ( well, Obama brought me affordable health care before I turned 66, and expended medicare after 66), so this idea, we democrats should support Biden's impeachment is beyond crazy talk, and any democrat whose faith has been shaken about Biden, they should acknowledge these truths, and stand by your president. Don't be duped by republicans, they have no leg to stand on, and that's the simple fact of the matter.

    Our president apparently trusts the Taliban. So leftists will be standing with them, too, apparently.

    Lol… you’re literally going to tell people that Biden is the only one to have the courage (or stupidity in my opinion) to get us out of Afghanistan when Trump started this and Biden took Trumps lead? They’re both morons for doing this and Biden has no courage. He can’t even answer questions from reporters. He constantly tells people he’s not supposed to take questions cause he is no leader… He’s a cowardly puppet


    sure he will lmao. The guy can’t even reply to questions in fear of his own answers but he’ll be great lol sure he will

    First of all, not every contingency was thought of, that should be obvious. Second, Biden broke Trump’s deal that was conditions based for a political 911 photo op and that got Americans killed. Third, Biden left Americans behind.

    There used to be a time where the pundits would actually exhibit a degree of patience. That is no longer the case post-tRumpism. The tell-tale is the use of the word "impeachment".

    Nobody believes the bullshit trotted out by those still pushing trump's big lie.
    They and their orange dotard have been thoroughly discredited ever since they embarked on their seditious attempt to overturn an election trump lost because of his malignant narcissism and incompetence.
    Their apoplectic hysteria over Biden after sucking at trump's puerile teat for the past 4 years is as laughable as it is hypocritical.
    They blew their wad on January 6 and failed to install trump as their leader and have been desperately trying to save face and distract from their crimes ever since.
    Most of the tripe they trot out is fake news anyway, so don't waste your time wallowing in the mud with them.

    The results are that the last USAF aircraft has left Afghanistan. Who ever is left there is on their own.

    The result is that we are out of Afghanistan, and is the only thing that really matters

    Trump just signed a deal with them, so Trump trusted them too

    the right must hate it that they can't attack Biden because of how Trump handled this

    Maybe you will find a Trump supporter to defend him. Meanwhile, the current president screwed the Afghan pooch.

    Trump shares much of the blame, but glad you won't defend him, more than I can say for others

    Really? We lost thirteen good military men, billions of dollars worth of military equipment turned over to the Taliban and we left an unknown number of Americans in Afghanistan.

    Biden was the one to end the war... badly... he owns it... good or bad... it is his responsibility to assure a high rate of success in the withdraw with minimal loss of life... he did not.... Trump had nothing to do with how this clown botch the attempt...

    Not many question whether we needed out of Afghanistan...
    But many question how we did it.

    What a joke. Biden beats Carter as worst president*. He lied about not leaving Afghanistan unless ALL Americans got out. He relies on terrorists to do his job. He is so bad in so many areas your post can only be considered partisan pablum.

    Yeah, don't let your lying' eyes distort your left wing programing and brain washing. Be sure to key your lips pucker up in case you get a chance to kiss Biden's ass.

    When the democrats made up the collusion narrative to constantly monitor and investigate every angle of Trump, I believe it’s a justified response.
