re: Taliban has taken Kabul. Terrorist attack at Airport at least 12 marines confirmed killed

Let me be more clear. Do you think Biden had no communication with military command/assets/allies regarding Afghanistan while he was at Camp David?

Of course not. He simply chose to ignore them and not take any action.

The current situation points to this rather succinctly.


I've already said the POTUS is in constant communication, no matter where he is. Several of my NCOs have served on WHCA. In fact one NCO was on Biden's team for four years when he was VP.

He just simply chose to not give a frick until pressured to make a statement today....a statement where he gave zero assurances and shifted the blame to everyone else.

Beware of stupid people and people pretending to be stupid for effect...

Right now, Biden is more concerned with salvaging his popularity than with the disaster his incompetence unleashed. And his narrative janitors are doing their best to mop up the blood he's spilled...

1/
If you think "But Trump invited the bad guys to negotiate at Camp David" or "Trump's deal freed a bunch of prisoners" are some sort of gotcha that put this on Trump, you're dumb or you think your followers are...

2/
There are three ways a war ends. Just three. No more, no less. Three.
1 - Win
2 - Negotiate a peace
3- Lose

3/
We've taken Win off the table. Neither Trump nor Biden nor anyone else is willing to take the time, spend money, and spill the blood to win this war.

4/
To win would require a combination of the Boer War tactic of emptying the country side with the Roman tactic of pretty much killing everyone else. We're just not going to do that, so we won't win against tribesmen who just will not give up.

5/
The next option was negotiate a deal. Trump did that. When you negotiate, you negotiate, so asking them to visit Camp David is hardly some shocking concession. And when wars end with a deal, prisoners go free. What, you think any deal would keep them locked up forever?

6/
Trump made a deal. It called for the Taliban to power share and had us withdraw most forces in May. The Taliban broke the deal. They attacked. But Biden did nothing, except lengthen the withdrawal time. He did not enforce the deal.

7/
Biden also took longer to leave than Trump would have, assuming the ridiculous scenario that Trump would continue with the treaty while the Taliban broke their part and not retaliate. So Biden had MORE time to plan and execute a smooth departure. Yet he didn't.

8/
The last alternative is to lose. Biden chose that option. And so did every jerk who complains that Trump negotiated. Win, negotiate or lose. Pick one. If you disqualify negotiating, and you won't win, that leaves losing. If you're willing to lose, own it, loser.

9/
So, their argument, to the extent that it is an argument and not a cheesy ploy to distract from Biden's disgraceful, disastrous failure, is that Trump tried to negotiate a peace, and the Taliban broke the deal, and so Biden had no choice but to lose. Huh?

10/
Baloney. When you hear dumb/dishonest people trying to confuse the strategy (leave Afghanistan) with the tactics (Trump via enforcing the deal, Biden via cutting and running), you know you're being played or in the presence of an idiot. Maybe both.

This is a MUST watch piece by the UK's ITV News. This is brutal and makes the Biden Admin look like morons. Best segment I've seen by anyone so far since this started.

Yep. That dude has some balls on him. I posted it a page or two back. It helps call bullshite on some of the "life is normal" shite we are hearing.

Of course not.

Gotcha. Didn't want to misunderstand what you were saying.

So the Pentagon confirming they will "provide protection, air transportation, and processing of up to 30,000 at-risk individuals from Kabul" was orchestrated by whom?

Biden isn't making any decisions. Those people in DC don't trust him to. He's spoon fed propaganda and talking points, as you could tell by the presser today.

---

This is pretty much the truth. People will downvote you for it, but it is true.

He didn't even know the number of troops we have sent, yet is supposedly the person who ordered it. He was off by 1,000. He also had other key facts/happenings wrong. It seems he wasn't quite vague enough with his "address".

I'll wait until this actually happens.

Okay.

But to answer your question, you answered it in the third word of your post.

So the Pentagon is just operating outside the direction of the Executive at their own discretion? Got it.

I have never seen America so verbally brutalized by our allies before.

This is 1979 all over again.

Hate to be a bother, but could someone give me the gist of what he says after the 6th tweet in that thread? I don't have a Twitter account and that's as far as I can read.

But that doesn’t make this “he went to Camp David so he went on vacation” claim that you and other posters have made any less ridiculous.

It's not that he went to Camp David.

it's that he was silent for over three days.

Why can you not comprehend this simple concept?
