Afghanistan - ‘an extraordinary success’?

[image deleted][image deleted]
We now have an American president who wants us to completely change the meaning of words in that the completely bungled evacuation of Afghanistan is now hailed as an extraordinary success. The fact that lives were lost, millions of dollars of valuable equipment were left behind in the hands of very dangerous terrorists, the lives of men women and children who are left behind our risk, and the place is again to become a hotbed of terrorism to the world, is ‘an extraordinary success’? It was an extraordinary success- for those gunmen who are parading their stuff in Kabul knowing they have completely humiliated America and it’s weak, bungling president

I’m not humiliated. Me and everyone in my family said not to go in the first place. This is kind of more like an “I told ya so”/“thank god finally” moment for me

@NoahB And screw the civilians left behind, right?

@NoahB So screw American citizens, right?

"In his exclusive sit-down interview with ABC News' George Stephanopolous on August 18, Biden was asked whether he was "committed to making sure that the troops stay until every American who wants to be out is out?"

"Yes," was the President's reply. "If there's American citizens left, we're gonna stay to get them all out," Biden promised."
