Just released a transcript of Biden talking to Afghan president in July. Biden was urging him to keep the “Perception” that the fight against the Taliban was going great whether it was or not. This is a big deal!!

"BIDEN: You know, I am a moment late. But I mean it sincerely. Hey look, I want to make it clear that I am not a military man any more than you are, but I have been meeting with our Pentagon folks, and our national security people, as you have with ours and yours, and as you know and I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things aren’t going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban. And there’s a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture."

It gets much, much worse.

From the supposed leader of the free world. Yikes.

In a word....

"The war is not meant to be won. It is meant to be continuous"

Can't wait to see how James spins this.

biden and all who stick up for him are my enemies.....period. He and they are a disgrace to the USA.

https://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=116535 This helicopter was disabled supposedly a piece of history forever gone that didn't haft to be. some one on fox last night had number I can't all of them some where around 46,000 machine guns, 160,000 m4s,m16s , thousands of vehicles I know for sure they said 67 blackhawks I don't remember any of the aircraft numbers but a quick google search said they had 600,000+ small arms 75,000+ vehicles and several thousand aircraft. It was given to the taliban plane and simple most can see that other not so much they voted for joe last time and they would vote for him again even with the blood of amaricans his hands they would vote for again. those people are past helping

Its always ugly for the losing side in any war.

Maybe biden did not want to leave a power vacuum...just leave the savages in a position to totally dominate the countryside. They probably killed thousands today....maybe 2-3000 women as sex slaves and raped 1000's of young boys. The USA acted with total disregard for humanity in this withdrawal and gifting under direct orders from biden.

Can we imagine the incredible division which would occur in America "if" the Taliban hordes begin to torture people publicly?
Using American gear.
Mr. President, what were you thinking?

they already hung a person from the bottom of a helo over Kandahar....

Thanks for posting that Keith that’s exactly what I was talking about, but don’t worry I can’t imagine a President getting impeached over a phone call

I doubt Biden knew anything of the sort but the crew in charge of his medications most certainly did.

That's simply not true. The Afghans were advised we were leaving when Trump made a poor deal with the Taliban at Doha. The original agreed withdrawal date was May 1, but Biden later extended that date until August 31. The Afghan army was fully appraised of these dates, and of the US's firm intention to withdraw by August 31. It was no surprise to them or to anyone else left in that country. There's no reasonable excuse for the Afghans' cowardice. They were much better armed and trained than the Taliban. They shouldn't have been relying on US air cover, since they had air cover with trained pilots of their own.

Not ugly for Biden and the Democrats,
Heck they have already moved on and thanks to the fake news media and the spineless Republicans, Biden will come out smelling like a rose. Biden will probably receive the Nobel Peace Prize ?

It boils down to a photo opt set for the anniversary of 911 more then anything to do with any battle plan. Sniffy could not get that right and never has in almost 40 years. We were sold a sick mule and they knew it but power over the people even if it destroys the Nation to get it seems the goal today.

According to Biden on his visit with the Israeli PM where Biden was bent over, as he appeared to be falling asleep, Obama was very pro-Israel. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Obama tried to interfere in Israel's election as he tried to upset Netanyahu who was running for re-election. Obama's hatred toward Israel is very telling.

The American Military knew they would, but the political heads didn't want to hear from anyone.

A lot of that equipment will be sold to our adversaries due to the Talibans inability to maintain that equipment.
