In other words...Biden had nothing to do with the agreement and pushing the date to 9-11 2021 will become a photo op. Biden is a doofus.
Biden’s freeing up more troops to put into Syria. It’s a never ending cycle.
So does this mean we have won the hearts and minds of the Afghan people?
If after 20 years you haven’t won yet, it’s a good bet you will never win.
The military will be directed elsewhere.
I’m not selling off my “defense” stocks.
Author counting chickens before they even hatched?
I mean, gee, maybe we ought to wait till 9/11 to see if in fact BidenIdiot removes the troops from Afghanistan before even remotely asserting ‘farewell to a forever war’? You think!?
Something to keep in mind as fingers point at the Taliban and elsewhere.
My non PC Afghanistan peace plan.
1. Withdraw from the sh!thole.
2. Let them fight until they get strong leaders.
3. Bomb the leaders while stirring up in fighting.
4. Repeat as necessary.
Both SloJo and Pat don’t seem to realize that wars don’t end when you stop fighting. They end when the enemy stops fighting.
Two points here. 1.) Trump was going to withdraw troops by May. Biden broke the accord with the Taliban and Afghan government to take ownership of bringing home troops by 9/11. You watch, it won't be 9/11 and more troops will flow to Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Africa and other places.
2.) To directly answer the question as to why we failed in Afghanistan and in the so-called "war on terror"; we simply did not define our enemies correctly and we did not destroy our enemies. If fact, we did the exact opposite. Our enemy remains today. They are Islamic States.
Personally, I was all for the invasion of Iraq. It had NOTHING to do with WMDs. It had to do with strategic projection of power. We had Iran surrounded - from the east in Afghanistan, form the north-west in Turkey, from the north in Turkmenistan, and from the west in Iraq. We could also exert power over Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States from Iraq.
We had the capability to destroy their evil civilizations and set them back to the stone age. We had the capability to suck their resources dry. The same resources that they had no clue or ability as how to develop some 70 or 80 years ago without the help of the west.
We could have destroyed our enemies in under two years, with far fewer American's lives lost, and no lost treasure. In fact, it could be a self-funding and profitable war. We certainly never should have done any nation building. That is completely wrong headed. These are a tribal people and they do not have a sense of nations. What little unity they have as nations could have been eliminated, thus reducing their power in the future to local clans that fought each other instead of causing problems and threatening the world.
They will still be there are the date. I’ve heard this same thing for a very long time. Somehow the war mongers always get an extension
US Criticized For Withdrawing Troops From Afghanistan While Just 50 Years From Victory
> April 15th, 2021
“Why are we leaving when victory is on the horizon, just a few decades away?” asked John Bolton. “We’re so close. You can’t give up right when you’re on the finish line, with a utopia in the Middle East being within our reach if we just stay there for another half-century.”
“It just doesn’t make any sense to leave now.”
It must be me, as I have come to the observational conclusion that humans, since the prehistoric ages have ALWAYS been in a state of perpetual war... “forever” war sounds like a Hallsnark Card.
Anyone who think Biden’s handlers will withdraw from Afghanistan is deluded.
That’s why they are provoking the Taliban by nullifying the Trump agreement.
The 9/11 date is the mooslimb O’bummer’s doing of course.
