We were continuing to reduce our risk and our footprint there. I hope that they continued down that path...

My guess is that the incoming administration saw what Trump was doing and knee-jerk reversed course, just like they did to so many other things Trump was doing (Keystone, border wall, etc.)

When Trump said he would bring American forces to the Mullah’s house, the Taliban leaders knew he meant it.

He had already unapologetically wiped al-Rimi and al-Baghdadi from the map.

Trump plowed over and got his way with Nato, the UN, Kim Jung-Un, most countries in South America, Mexico, Canada, Saudi Arabia, China, thumbed his nose at the middle east by moving the Israeli embassy, and threatened to blow various countries off the map.

Trump has more testosterone in his little finger than the past two Presidents had in their whole bodies...combined.

How much you want to bet some of those cretins packed up and moved once they left the negotiating table?

God, I miss Trump.

President Trump is awake more than 6 hours a day. He is also very intelligent.

Biden, not so much.

We were very clear about the things we were prepared to do to protect American lives.

Kind of like what happened in Lebanon after western people were being kidnapped or worse. I think the KGB sent that message about Ruskies and the result, after the first one was killed, ended the problem for them.

I’m a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall Michael - if he is to be shot in the head by a police officer, or be found hung dead in a jail cell... or if he should be struck by a bolt of lightning - then I’m going to blame some of the people in this room; and then I do not forgive. But with that said, I pledge - on the souls of my grandchildren - that I will not be the one to break the peace that we have made today.

What is happening in Afghanistan is exactly what happened in Viet Nam. The DemocRATS reneged on agreements made at the “Peace Table” and betrayed our allies.

Under BrainDead, they could kill all our people they wanted to and he would just say “please stop” and DO NOTHING ELSE. PERIOD. END OF CONVERSATION. He is a brain dead, coward, who is being led by his papa, the NON-American citizen, Burrack Obammy.

Democrats destroying the world again, and they love it. And they think they deserve more power. Should be able to federalize election laws.

I should have highlighted this part.

Pompeo said. “I was also in the room when President Trump made very clear to Mullah Baradar, the senior Taliban negotiator, that if you threatened an American, if you scared an American, certainly if you hurt an American, that we would bring all American power to bear to make sure that we went to your village, to your house. We were very clear about the things we were prepared to do to protect American lives.
