A Taliban Hostage Crisis Will Make the Iran Hostage Crisis Look Like a Little Kid's Birthday Party.

@beckyromero The Trump agreement was filled with Taliban provisions and obligations that Bidet and his effluvia ignored creating this catastrophe. And taking back all our weapons was front and center.

It's a desperate look trying to blame this catastrophe on the long gone, much better president.

Face it sweetie, the man lives rent free 24/7 in your pretty little head

@Slade [quote]taking back all our weapons was front and center.[/quote]

Trump had plenty of time to do that.

@beckyromero Some, but you can't get rid of them all with Americans still there.

Face it, Bidet and his effluvia own this catastrophe

@QuixoticSoul It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

The Taliban, burnt the fields repeatedly. The rare earth metals were the gift to the Chinese.

The Taliban were paid, so much more than the Poppies could ever bring in. They needed the Heroin money to fund black ops, off the books.

This is only the same game plan, used time over time.

@Oster1 The Taliban burned the fields while we were paying them. When we went to war with them, they stopped burning, and started taxing. If any of this stuff was over poppies, we would have simply not have run our interdiction programs there pre-2001. If the rare earth stuff played a significant role, we would have actually attempted to develop that industry instead of doing nothing for twenty years.

I know it's strange, but we were never there for any significant actual reason, this has been a long and expensive face-saving operation that produced nothing and eventually backfired.

@QuixoticSoul Even though I can agree with some things.

It’s not debatable that we gave up many industries and jobs to the Chinese, going back to the Clinton Administration.

Believe me, they did not nickname GHW Bush, Poppy for nothing!
