    Fake Don's capitulating to the Taliban is long overdue.

    The hapless Dubya had blundered into the seemingly-interminable quagmire, ignorant of the predictable consequences:

    you will be absolutely fine!"

    October 1963. Harold Macmillan handing over the prime ministership to Alec Douglas-Home.

    Trump had been mewling that he would cut 'n run for years:

    Security-minded conservatives don't like it, though:

    Conservatives' disgust aside, Trump's belated surrender has long been an inevitability, would remain so, and so, the sooner the better.

    So what alternative are you warmongers proposing? I see lots of whining but not seeing Democrat candidates offering any solutions. Far as I can tell the issue has never even been addressed in the slew of clown show debates...

    The continuation of OP troll posts is reeking of desperation over the November election.
    The hypocrisy of those on the left is comical.

    Meanwhile...….
    As the talks fail Esper says we are getting out.
    Spanky should have just said we are leaving. Now he will be know as the guy who lost the war.

    You appear to be confused.

    As stated, I support Trump's surrendering, and have no idea why he persisted in squandering American lives for so long.

    He has been whining that he would abscond for years and years.

    FOR YEARS AS a reality TV star, Trump demanded that the United States leave Afghanistan. Among other things, he said that the U.S. had “wasted an enormous amount of blood and treasure” and “wasted lives” there, that the war was “nonsense,” and that instead we should “rebuild the USA.”

    How does one lose if no victory conditions were ever set?

    Generally, withdrawing while they're still shooting at you is considered a loss. Yet another way Donnie Two Scoops is emulating Nixon.

    You are welcome...

    Except the Afghan government we installed is still in charge. How long are we supposed to hold their hand? Or are you saying Obama lost Iraq?
