Thanks Mr President!

Because of Biden’s incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan, and thanks to the largesse of the American taxpayer, the Taliban is better and every NATO country apart from the USA. Thanks Mr President!

Thank you President Biden for ending this costly fiasco.

The failure here is when President George W. Bush dragged us into a ground war-occupation in Iraq-Afghanistan in 2002. Over 2,500 U.S. soldiers killed, thousands more wounded, thousands of Afghans killed, over $2 trillion wasted, upheaval all across the Middle-East, all at no gain to the American people. Unscrupulous military contractors were the only ones who profited from this quagmire.

We should all remember that in Congress only Rep. Barbara Lee had the courage and good sense to vote No on the Authorization for Use of Military Force measure in 2001. She has been proven 100% right.

@badminton Also, over 1500 US civilian contractors killed as well. An average of about 40 Americans every month. This will now stop.

@Grvstu How long was that going to last for? We'll never know.

The problem was they completely botched withdrawal. It was a disaster and everybody here outside the liberal media in America agrees.

I know the liberals in America have swallowed Bidens pack of lies that it was an outstanding success but the world is not fooled. The terrorists and Russia and China are rubbing their hands with glee@walabby

@Grvstu So what would you rather have happened? The USA stay there for ever? Withdrawals are always difficult. Yeah, it could have been done better. Better still would have been go in, wipe out Al Qaeda and LEAVE!.. back in 2002... Gee, thanks George W.
The reason that there were no US casualties for the last year was because of the deal that Trump made with the Taliban. "You stop killing us and we'll leave in 14 months." The Taliban are obviously smart enough not to put that at risk.
