On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stated that while President Joe Biden’s move to send a carrier strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean is a good move, it was a mistake to give up military facilities in Afghanistan, and that having bases in a country that borders Iran would be useful to help isolate them.

America doesn’t have enough military bases…
What, specifically, does “deter” mean?
It was the Obama Gang at the White House that supplied Terrorists with all those weapons
Deter....... cower into inaction
IF we need bases in that dump of Afghanistan to deter Iran we’re doing something wrong.
The childless idiot neocon speaks.
I thought this duplicitous shrew had disappeared from the national scene a long time ago.
No Condi...we don’t really have to invade other countries and try to foist our system on them, and then take “bases” by force.
I understand the strategic value of Afghan bases...but clearly, they did not want us there.
The decision to leave Afghanistan was made in 2020
“The United States is committed to withdraw from Afghanistan all military forces of the United States,
its allies, and Coalition partners, including all non-diplomatic civilian personnel, private security
contractors, trainers, advisors, and supporting services personnel within fourteen (14) months following
announcement of this agreemen”
Correct, she is a GWB FAN after all. Took us 20 years to get out of fighting in that H hole. Trump was the only one to not have a war, just inherited the cleanup of others. There is enough firepower in the fleet sent to the ME if used right to take out Hamas and friends.
Actually Barry is the puppeteer.
I always thought that the dual occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan served that purpose nicely, You can argue that that wasn’t reason enough to do it....Iran just waited it out, and it turned into something only the John Boltons of the world could embrace.
Seems like the way we left Afghanistan was made up a week before it happened, designed to arm the Tolli-bon.
If we were serious about Afghanistan we would have declared war and dropped “daisy cutters” on every one of their poppy fields at the start of the invasion.
Bagram air base should not have been abandoned. LGBFJB.
You ask such infantile questions, Cartman. Or you have an agenda? Seems like the latter.
A good buddy of mine was on her security detail. Not a sweetheart, to say the least…. But NONE of them are.
Conditionally, conditions of which were not met. Trump was holding them to the conditions of the agreement. Biden did not.
Another low IQ post.
We have bases in Iraq, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and other FOBs.
We can engage in force projection at will.
You obviously never served as you have no clue.
Enjoy defending Bush policies.
Condi, STFU. You are a shapeshifing POS. Slither back into the black hole you climbed out of.
You (and I did your com’s) had you chances is Israel.
