So what is not true? 9/11 happened under Bush and he didnt sit down blaming Clinton. Like Biden and his people like you are trying to do in this case

---Certainly Bush can't blame Clinton for 9/11---maybe you can explain what you mean?---

Like I said, longer time frames, Afghanistan is a Republican problem back to interference of Reagan and Bush.

But current GQP call those people RINOs, so they are exempt from repercussions as a party.

Democrats also have their own wahala with Lyndon Johnson invading Vietnam and Democrat senators supporting Bush War in Iraq

You are yet to come to terms with the word, RESPONSIBLITY. For instance, If you, as a President, are going to a major foreign policy action, then you should be ready to take responsibility for the resulting effect of that action. You don't pass the buck, u own it. It's that simple.

He can because Clinton allowed Osama to flee from Sudan to Afghanistan after the Kenyan bombings of the US embassy in 1998. Clintons only response to that attack was to send rockets into Sudan

Presidents are elected to handle issues and not pass blames around, If you are planning to pass blame, its better not to contest elections.

If Bush was interested in blaming there was plenty of opportunity to blame,
Clinton had multiple opportunities to kill Osama Bin Laden which he didnt but Bush did not sit around after 9-11 saying its Clintons fault for not killing Osama despite his involvement in bombing the American embassy in Kenya

That can change in a blink of an eye. When the local Afghans are trying to escape now an "infidel" woman that should be sitting inside her husbands hut is walking around seducing men and commiting haram. It only takes a group of 5 hardliners who are looking to get famous

What do you expect him to do ? Leave America soldiers there ? Trump already signed an agreement for us to leave. Biden carried it out.

It is left for the Talibans to do the right thing for the country/people. At some point, what is happening now would still happen anyway.

Those in power in Afghanistan weren't paying the soldiers and police - they are corrupt like Nigeria - hard to do anything good in a corrupt country.

Them go calm down for few months until sanctions and such start hitting them. Nobody likes war in this life, even Taliban. That's why they were begging Afghan forces to give up cos they don't want to take over a destroyed City. Even Pompeo no like war, na why he go negotiate with them.

One thing is sure in this life, nobody go ever try the Afghans again. Later down the line when human rights have been eroded, any major power they fight will take the easy way out and nuke them.

BTW, Half of those people are Russian looking people. Russia would have dealt with them well if not for influence of Reagan

Some people are made for war, all these Taliban have been living in the desert and are hardened people they already are in warfare for over 40yrs. I heard they already changed the name to Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Some of those guys have not lived in a real house for over 10-15yrs

No one that has tasted enjoment like war but for people who believed they are fighting for a bigger cause or for God, they dont reason that way same ideology with Boko Haram

Surely Russia or China would have dealt with them well but Western standards of warfare doesnt work for these people, See how ISIS was doing anyhow, when Trump looked the other way and allowed Assad and Russia to deal with them, ISIS mellowed.

In life cultures are different all those western idea of fighting war with humane face does not work with people who are ready ro behead or burn people alive in cages

How many trump deals did Biden cancel already? what stops him from canceling this if he did not agree or support it.

He reversed the deadline day set by Trump but committed himself to withdrawal of troops which everyone agreed should happen, withdrawal already started even before he became President.

“I started the process, all the troops are coming home, they (Biden) couldn’t stop the process. 21 years is enough. They (Biden) couldn’t stop the process, they (Biden) wanted to but couldn’t stop the process.”

Trump 1month ago.

All good - Trump and Biden did well bringing Americans home.
Time for Afghans to do well by themselves and we will go open businesses there if they do (pipe dream undecided)

If Biden can reverse so many Trump policies, he could have reversed the troop withdrawal too if he didnt agree

You are one missing it here

No one is saying withdrawal of troops isn't a Biden thing.

It is and I think a huge majority of Americans do support it

The point we are making here is, this thing was wildly accepted by trump supporters, and even trump himself celebrated it

Now when it happens why are they pretending like it wasn't something they campaigned for

I understand your feelings on this issue and seriously I can't be bothered because in politics people can pander and pretend if it means they put other side on the spot, I have seen people who supported troops withdrawal changing tone, where responsibility on Biden comes in is how he handles post Taliban actions.
