The Trump-Pence administration’s deal with the Taliban was a bad idea, but it was implemented in the worst possible way by the Biden-Harris administration. There is no escaping that, even though they’re trying.
The Kamala campaign argued that Trump left “the Biden-Harris administration with zero plans for an orderly withdrawal — only a dangerous, costly mess.”
The Biden administration had the better part of a year to come up with a plan. Any plan would have been better than what it did come up with which was to withdraw the troops and leave the diplomats and NGOs while pursuing a fantasy of integrating the Taliban into the Afghan government.
Abandoning Bagram and the Islamic terrorists there led to the murder of 13 American servicemembers and the national humiliation of a panicked withdrawal.
Turning over the management of Kabul to the Taliban was another conscious decision that recreated Saigon.
All of these were decisions by the Biden administration.
The cold hard reality was that Afghanistan was probably unsalvagable. American air power propping up Afghan military forces might have made it work for a time, but it’s hard to say. The Taliban deal was just Qatar playing us and the ‘negotiators’ we sent to Doha would have been off in prison than representing America. Wthdrawal was inevitable, but how we did it was a series of choices. The Taliban deal was a bad choice. The actual withdrawal was a series of catastrophes that probably could not have been any worse.
By the end, the Biden administration had left behind unknown numbers of Americans, flown tens of thousands of enemy nations to America leading to multiple assaults, rapes and at least one wave of attacks, left behind billions in weaponry and suffered a global humiliation without one single person being held accountable.
And that’s without even delving into the billions of dollars in foreign aid sent to Afghanistan since.
Kamala can pretend to be a new player, but she bragged of being the last one in the room on Afghanistan.
“Were you the last person in the room?” CNN’s Dana Bash asked Kamala Harris.
“Yes,” Kamala Harris nodded.
“And you feel comfortable?”
“I do,” she replied.
The subject under discussion was Biden’s disastrous decision to pull out of Afghanistan, preceding a civilian withdrawal with a military pullout, failing to coordinate with allies, and ultimately creating the nation’s greatest hostage crisis while arming the Taliban terrorists.
What struck me, is that while Kammy knows practically nothing about many topics, she probably knows absolute zero about military withdrawals.
If Kamala is so dumb-who is she listening to? If she is the “last person”” in the room with Biden what can be
said about Biden? God help us-Kamala could be our next president!
Coupmala may be an expert on withdrawals. She has no children, but has acquired deposits..
A typical member of the Stupid Jackass Party(Liberal Democrat)aways blaming others for their Incompetence and their Blundering
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S “deal” with the Taliban COULD have succeeded IF the Afghans had TRULY wanted to be FREE and Self Ruling! If people are not WILLING to FIGHT for something then doing the hard work and GIVING them something will not work! Our Nation was Founded by people who were WILLING to FIGHT for their Freedom. Not many in the middle East have the values required to do that – except for the TERRORISTS hellbent on domination! I guess though since those people never really experience TRUE FREEDOM they would rather just shuffle along! Sad!!
The withdrawal planned by Trump was based on the,Taliban meeting conditions prior to the withdrawal, we likely would have retained Bagram and about 2500 troops and would have withdrawn civilians first and armed forces last. In April 2021 Jake Sullivan told reporters that the Biden administration didn’t care whether the Taliban was abiding by the conditions, dismissing conditions as just a device to keep us in Afghanistan. And, of course, everything else about the withdrawal was done exactly the opposite of how it would have taken place under Trump. This was the Biden-Harris plan, it was a disaster, and she should not be allowed to escape blame for it. She was the “last person in the room” when the plan was made and has never acknowledged or even talked to the families of the servicemen her plan got killed. What a wretch, and a particularly irresponsible one, at that.
