I want you to comprehend this. A Guantanamo Bay inmate released by Obama now runs Afghanistan thanks to Joe Biden. How anyone, even the staunchest Democrat, can defend this today is incomprehensible.


I wish Hitchens were alive right now to see this. He’s the one that would put it the most elegantly and just trash the Biden administration. Here’s a clip from Maher’s show back in the day where Hitchens just takes Mos Def in his intellectual waters when it comes to nuclear weapons and just drowns this idiot, to the point where Maher permanently banned Mos Def from the show: YouTube

I wonder what Tulsi’s take on this is

Probably identical to Ron Paul's take. That we should have never been there to begin with and the entire conflict has been a waste of money a tragedy of wasted lives.

I wouldn’t want to be in her living room right now. She has to be spitting bullets. Honestly I think she’s going to tell Biden to resign, Kamala to pick a VP that would get the job done, and then Kamala to resign and the new President to pick a VP that could unify the country and get this shite that is out of control.


You truly are an emotional one.

She's not even a Rep anymore. No one cares what Tulsifrickinggabbard thinks.

"I told you so" is not very helpful right now.

I disagree. Some people owe others with one hell of an apology.

Why were they not prepared for something like this to happen? You don’t need a Magic 8 Ball to think that far ahead.


Our military and government leaders and the intelligence community are beyond worthless. Anyone with half a brain saw this coming from a mile away. The Afghans were never going to succeed, they don’t have enough people with the desire to stop the taliban.

I agree. But again, smarmily asking for that apology doesn't help right now.

Yes it is. It should tell you who to listen to and who not to. The "foreign policy" establishment in this country was wrong about Iraq. They were wrong about Libya. They were wrong about Afghanistan. We shouldn't listen to a word they tell us.

FWIW, they were saying that the Afghani Army would collapse. Folks just didn't listen

None of which is relevant to the question of how to find a solution to get our people out of Afghanistan right now. Plenty of time for that shite later.

And this is great. Not that it matters since we have 10,000 Americans we have to evacuate, but we’re fully stabbing the people in the back that helped us. God help these people:

NEW: Biden admin has curtailed the number of flights to the US for Afghans who worked alongside the US as it prioritizes the evacuation of American personnel from the country, three sources familiar with the situation told CNN.

That tends to happen when your "allies" leave in the middle of the night without telling you.
