Afghanistan.....who is responsible for this nightmare?

Obama, remember he campaigned on ending the Iraq war that’s what he basically won on and he said that the Iraq war was a mistake and the real terror is nestled in Afghanistan, so the majority of the troops were relocated there.

Afghanistan.....who told us that the Taliban wouldnt take over the country once he gave the order for our troops to leave? WHo was immediately proven wrong by Milley's statement of "strategic momentum" for the Taliban.

Should we have left or stayed? shouldnt Biden have done the opposite of what orange guy proposed? what is the responsibility of the USA to protect those who helped us these last 20 years?

Focus....its not that hard.

Well its harder than just screaming out something about "Trump", I guess.

The Taliban has won! 20 years too short for fighting an enemy that took war might fought in several generations! The present Taliban guys fighting in Afghanistan were born from Taliban family! Their grandfather were mujahideen fought the soviets,their father were Taliban and their children. grandchildren were future Talibans! How can you win this kind of war?

George W. Bush. Any other questions?

Milky is a soldier following a lawful order that he likely disagrees with.

For my part, I regret that we are leaving the Afghans to their fate while fully recognizing that it's not my life on the line safe as I am here in Tokyo.

A diverse military can handle the Taliban better?

It really sounds like you're implying the military should be whites-only.

Yeah. Here comes Trump again to deflect. Any comments about the Taliban already controlling 85% and who would be responsible for the decision allowing that to happen?

"On January 12, 2021, Milley and the Joint Chiefs of Staff issued a statement condemning the violent storming of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of Trump

Different thread. Milley is a tool, but this thread was about the Taliban, not Trump

Gen. Milley was very concerned in the final days of Trump that he wanted a coup by the military.

Uh-huh, from the man that believes in pushing CRT in the military and thinking that the US military is some sort of identity politics experiment. The guy has zero credibility.

I’m happy we got of there, but now with things heating up and fast, we might be back there and how and what is this guys plan? A diverse military can handle the Taliban better?

Here we go again. This is just crazy!

Oh yeah I have supreme confidence in this turning out well now. Ludicrous statement.

Speaking alongside Milley, Austin said the U.S. will “keep an eye on” al-Qaida

The Taliban appear to have “strategic momentum” in the fight for control of Afghanistan as they put increasing pressure on key cities, setting the stage for a decisive period in coming weeks as American forces complete their withdrawal, the top U.S. military officer said Wednesday.

Of course they do. Biden gave them a detailed timetable so they could plan accordingly.
