Media outlets across the political divide in the US and Britain have united in their condemnation over Joe Biden's handling of the Afghanistan crisis amid what is being billed the biggest foreign policy catastrophe in 65 years.
Even Left-wing outlets such as CNN and The New York Times that would traditionally back a Democrat president have hit out at Mr Biden for his role in allowing insurgents to take Kabul after routing Afghan forces in just a week.
The Wall Street Journal condemned Joe Biden's statement 'washing his hands' of the situation, saying it should 'go down as one of the most shameful in history by a Commander in Chief at such a moment of American retreat'.

WNU Editor: This unity among everyone in the media is striking and very rare. Case in point. Here are two commentaries from opposite sides of the political spectrum .... Taliban's Afghanistan takeover deals a harsh blow to Biden's 'America is back' foreign policy promise (Courtney Subramanian and Michael Collins, USA TODAY), and .... Biden Never Saw What Hit Him (Richard Fernandez, PJ Media).
As I had mentioned two days ago. No US President can fully recover from this.

If only Gore had declared the 2000 election "rigged" then perhaps he would have become president and the ****show in Afghanistan could have been avoided!
Most of the 19 9/11 hijackers were already in the U.S. before the 2000 election.

10:22 agent provocateur or troll. At best they are trying to get a rise out of people. It knows it is best to be a keyboard warrior, than to spout such things IRL.
About the Left and Right being untied. After 9/11 this lasted only 3 or 4 days to 2 weeks at the most. After 9/11 the Left harmonized on "Why do they hate us". I do not expect honesty or intelligence from the Left.
And the peace arrangement Trump made with the Taliban that the GOP erased from the NET?

Trump calls on Biden to 'resign in disgrace' over crisis in Afghanistan
But isn't Trump to become real president in August?
who lied to us?
The Taliban Are The Future
In other words, when the Republican complains about Biden failing to "follow the plan" left by the Trump administration, the former president is apparently complaining that Biden's ongoing withdrawal is too slow.
Three weeks ago, Trump held a rally in Ohio and took credit for the U.S. exit. "I started the process," he boasted. "All the troops are coming back home. They couldn’t stop the process. 21 years is enough. Don’t we think? 21 years. [The Biden administration] couldn’t stop the process. They wanted to, but it was very tough to stop the process."
Trump and 2021 Afghanistan is a What-if like Germany winning WW2 or the Confederacy winning the Civil War. Some people can deal with "what-if scenarios" intelligently like Nofi and Dunnigan. 10:52, aka duh professor, is not one of them.
The professor is so stupid that he has not read Clausewitz at all nor can he apply the important military principles. As such his time would be better spent thumbing through his magazines.
On another note duh professor is the same boat as Austin or Milley. They cannot apply military principles the Afghan problem or or any military problem. Fernandez can.
Al Gore??
That evil fcker is at the core of the global warming hoax, before it was global cooling and now, after testing the term with audiences, they've changed it to climate change
These evil ghouls are indoctrination children in schools and universities to become foot soldiers and bash your head in if you doubt their narrative of 99%of scientists agree, or if you want to discuss the data
That's Gore and his "inconvenient truth"for which he got a Nobel peace prize just like Obama got one.
They lie
They divide
They kill you
With a smile on their ghoulish faces.
For the greater good, you know?
FCK AL GORE THIS EVIL MONSTER AT THE HEART OF THE CARBON CONTROL GRID
They will use carbon lockdowns next and have carbon allowance to allow or disallow if someone is allowed to travel or have a child, while these fcking monsters fly on private jets
HANG AL GORE, that's what I vote for
HANG Fauci
Hang all of these ghouls that kill so many and no one reigns in
Fauci just bad mouthed a Mayo Clinic research trial. It does tell you that Fauci is a washed up has been, who survives not on his professional acumen, but solely due to being a political hack.
To end a military commitment that journalist Dexter Filkins dubbed the “forever war,” former president Donald Trump sent officials to negotiate with the Taliban, and in February 2020 the U.S. agreed to withdraw all U.S. troops, along with NATO allies, by May 1, so long as the Taliban stopped attacking U.S. troops and cut ties with terrorists.
The U.S. did not include the Afghan government in the talks that led to the deal, leaving it to negotiate its own terms with the Taliban after the U.S. had already announced it was heading home. Observers at the time were concerned that the U.S. withdrawal would essentially allow the Taliban to retake control of the country, where the previous 20 years had permitted the reestablishment of stability and women’s rights. Indeed, almost immediately, Taliban militants began an assassination campaign against Afghan leaders, although they did not kill any American soldiers after the deal was signed.
Meanwhile, by announcing their intentions, American officials took pressure off the Taliban to negotiate with Afghan leaders. The Pentagon’s inspector general noted in February that “The Taliban intends to stall the negotiations until U.S. and coalition forces withdraw so that it can seek a decisive military victory over the Afghan government.”
Hoping to win voters with this deal to end the war, the Trump administration celebrated the agreement. In September, Donald Trump Jr. tweeted, “A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for forever war in the Middle East. A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to finally bring our troops home.” Then–Secretary of State Mike Pompeo suggested the U.S. would have “zero” troops left in Afghanistan by spring 2021.
When he was Obama’s vice president, Joe Biden had made it no secret that he was not comfortable with the seemingly endless engagement in Afghanistan. By the time he took office as president in January 2021, he was also boxed in by Trump’s agreement. In April, Biden announced that he would honor Trump’s agreement—“an agreement made by the United States government…means something,” Biden said—and he would begin a final withdrawal on May 1, 2021, to be finished before September 11, the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
In July, 73% of Americans agreed that the U.S. should withdraw.
On July 8, Biden announced that the withdrawal was taking place quicker than planned and that the military mission of the U.S. in Afghanistan would end on August 31. He said the U.S. had accomplished what it set out to do in Afghanistan—kill bin Laden and destroy a haven for international terrorists—and had no business continuing to influence the future of the Afghan people. Together with NATO, the U.S. had trained and equipped nearly 300,000 members of the current Afghan military, as well as many more who are no longer serving, with all the tools, training, and equipment of any modern military. While we will continue to support that military, he said, it is time for the Afghan people to “drive toward a future that the Afghan people want and they deserve.”
For those asking that we stay just a little longer, especially in light of the fact the U.S. has lost no personnel since Trump cut the deal with the Taliban, he asked them to recognize that reneging on that deal would start casualties again. And he asked, “Would you send your own son or daughter?”
If Trump asked Biden to resign because of Afghanistan, then Trump recognizes that Biden is the legally elected president
the professor did not say
"...o end a military commitment that journalist Dexter Filkins dubbed the 'forever war', ..."

The professor is too stupid to have her own words. She merely parrots.
Trump was right. He still is right. Joe and the establishment wanted the status quo, which is why they stubbornly kept embassy staff there and tried negotiating in Doha.
The debacle is all joes's.
Can the pustulent shit tell us what the gravity center was?
Liberals Leftist and Democrat JACKASSES are asking for COVID for test for interpreters to leave Afghanistan.
Illegals can come into the US without a COVID test, but Afghan interpreters have to provide proof of a COVID test.
Democrats are PURE unadulterated ASSHOLE.
Joe did not want the status quo. Even as VP he wanted us out...stop your inane bullshit.
for those not so childish as 12:36, here is a nice batch of photos of a different look at Afghanistan and the Taliban

"Afghanistan: against surging troops; not nation builders
I was against surging troops to Afghanistan in the first place. We're not nation builders. We can't build that nation. We should not be in the business of that. But we should have a small footprint to be able to determine whether or not there are terrorist organizations operating in the region that are planning attacks against the United States. And we should have cooperation from the Afghan government on that and a commitment from the Taliban that they will not in any way support that effort."
STATUS QUO JOE
"Joe did not want the status quo. Even as VP he wanted us out.." - da profesora
bullshitter is looking at how to parse the word footprint and spin some more
mean people such
and that goes for your parents too
how would someone know whether or not I am or had been a professor when it was never said in a comment
because gay blade is a fucking stalker with no life of his or her own and tries to diminish others in order to elevate him(her) (its) self. Just another failure, much like the one your parents had in raising you
