Well, it’s all over except for the ones left behind.

If any of the Presidents in the past 20 years had the stones to do what Biden has done by quitting war, today they would be heroes.



Nah, the left would have bitched about it.

Thanks, Joseph to show your useless colors,

The Biden Administration has already sanctioned the Taliban.

DukeTarHeel Loc: NC's "Research Triangle"

I read comment recently about America’s involvement in conflicts around the world. It mentioned Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, & now Afghanistan.
It was an interesting observation that in each one, USA pulled out of all of them with their tails between their legs, having achieved nothing, but left these countries in Chaos.
Korea divided, Vietnam? Nothing? Iraq, left them to flounder, having wrecked the existing admin. Took their toys & scuttled off home, bashing their gums, “We got rid of those nasty Weapons of Mass Destruction”. Just happened they weren’t there??
Now Afghanistan, why were they in there anyway?? The Russians were there for 10 years before, when USA was supporting the Taliban with equipment etc, only to have it used against them over their 20 year stoush.
One didn’t need to be Einstein to see the waste of lives, not to mention the financial cost, expended on this futile conflict. For WHAT??
Hullo, America! Has there been nothing learned from their forays into other country’s misery??
World leaders?? I don’t think so. Reckon China is running rings around yo.
I read comment recently about America’s involvemen... (show quote)


The military industrial complex is the real government. Wars demand weapons.

My slate of swaps would include trump, Pompeo, Kushner, Bill Barr, Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ted Cruiz, Kevin McCarthy, and #MoscowMitch for the Hostages.

Let's add Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott!


You forgot Lauren Boebert. It's interesting to note that Boebert got her GED just before going to Washington. She "forgot" to list her husband's job and income on her financial disclosure statement. He is a consultant for the energy industry and made $480,000 last year. She's another angel of the far right.

No president would want Biden's legacy. It's not ending the war it's the WAY he did it. And it's not over. The Taliban has approx. 40,000 hostages now. I say lets swap them for Gen. Milley, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. And what the hell, the rest of Biden's team. Biden can resign in disgrace as no one would want him.


I say let's swap them for the insurrectionists who took over the Capitol on 1/6.

Her too!

I had intended to include LB, but typing on my smaller phone screen at work instead of using my tablet, she slipped off of my list.

I wonder if she's the only member of Congress in modern times who's never earned any kind of a College education, nevermind a high school diploma? What were her constituents thinking when they voted for her?

The administration should have terminated the Talibs. or at least evacuate Americans before exiting like a coward.

Nice to see that you are seeing things backward, but again, it's normal in your world.

How exactly could the administration have "terminated" the Taliban? Twenty years and trillions of dollars didn't do it.

I guess they didn't use the right tool, must be a reason for why.

Look the same as "War on Poverty" started by LBJ, to today it cost 14 trillion, I can say for some reason they didn't use the right tools.
