Jesus Christ, Biden has been president for 7 months. How about if you explain to us how you, or any other American, is less free because of him. Keep your stupid hyperbole and give us real facts. Are you less free to have a gun, or to have an abortion or to travel from state to state, or to fuck a sheep? If so, explain how Biden took your those inalienable rights from you, or anyone else.
As for the "humanity," what crap exactly are you talking about? Are you, in any way, assigning blame to him for the ass-backwards Taliban?
I'm going out on a limb and guessing that you learned of all this from your "real" news source, OAN.
And Biden is responsible with his lame ass assessment of the situation that lead to this debacle that will eventually lead to many deaths and probably many American lives.
Pretty harsh assessment for someone who's just playing the cards he was delt by gw + djt.
Sending in our helicopters to rescue those outside the airport boundaries is commendable. He's doing the best he can in an impossible situation. Worse thing I can see is maybe the airlift should have started a month earlier, but at that point we weren't ready logistically, and thats the military's failt, the boys in the Pentagon. Lots of finger pointing and Monday morning quarterback about not slowing down the taliban advance, that's really his only fuck up,,, but that would have involved more US deaths. A no win situation is a no win situation. Thank republikans for this mess, not Joe for doing his best to get us and our helpers out of it.
June 26 — At a rally in Ohio, his first since leaving office, Trump boasts that Biden can’t stop the process he started to remove troops from Afghanistan, and acknowledges the Afghan government won’t last once U.S. troops leave.
“I started the process,” Trump says. “All the troops are coming back home. They [the Biden administration] couldn’t stop the process. 21 years is enough. Don’t we think? 21 years. They couldn’t stop the process. They wanted to, but it was very tough to stop the process when other things… It’s a shame. 21 years, by a government that wouldn’t last. The only way they last is if we’re there. What are we going to say? We’ll stay for another 21 years, then we’ll stay for another 50. The whole thing is ridiculous. … We’re bringing troops back home from Afghanistan.”
July 6 — The U.S. military confirms it has pulled out of Bagram Airfield, its largest airfield in the Afghanistan, as the final withdrawal nears.
July 8 — Saying “speed is safety,” Biden moves up the timeline for full troop withdrawal to Aug. 31. Biden acknowledges the move comes as the Taliban “is at its strongest militarily since 2001.” Biden says if he went back on the agreement that Trump made, the Taliban “would have again begun to target our forces” and that “staying would have meant U.S. troops taking casualties. … Once that agreement with the Taliban had been made, staying with a bare minimum force was no longer possible.”
Biden assures Americans that a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan “is not inevitable,” and denies that U.S. intelligence assessed that the Afghan government would likely collapse.
Asked if he sees any parallels between the withdrawals from Vietnam Afghanistan, Biden responds, “None whatsoever. Zero. … The Taliban is not the south — the North Vietnamese army. They’re not — they’re not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy in the — of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable.”
Biden adds that “the likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely.”
Biden also promises to help accelerate the issuance of special visas for Afghan nationals who helped the U.S. during the war.
July 24 — At a rally in Phoenix, Trump again boasts, “I started the move out of Afghanistan,” adding “I think it was impossible for him [Biden] to stop it, but it was a much different deal.”
Trump says that when he was president, in a phone conversation with the leader of the Taliban, he warned that after U.S. troops leave if “you decide to do something terrible to our country … we are going to come back and we are going to hit you harder than any country has ever been hit.” Trump says he believes the two “had a real understanding” but that after Trump left office “now they’re going wild over there.”
The Pentagon just ordered commercial airlines to help aid with evacuations,,,, better late than never,,,, with the obvious urgency, they should have been involved from the beginning of evacuations, voluntarily.
I hear we're going back in. They need stoners that like to go on chat lines.
I for one am glad our kids are coming home. We now see how poorly this war was executed in the first place
^ Yeah you fools don't live there or had family who died fighting for their freedom for nothing! Biden just made all those lost lives pointless and let the devil back in. Another great American classic war story gone bad.
You sure are privileged to live in the good ol' USA and have your freedoms that the Afgan people won't have after Mr. Prez wanna be for his total life gave up the Afgan people to the devil!
Doolittle is doing tremendous work for the Afghan refugees by just sharing his criticism for Biden here.
No harm in keeping American troops on the ground indefinitely to evacuate a million more Afghans who desire to resettle in the US. No problem that they're all Muslims too. As least they're not Spanish speaking immigrants.
How many people died for nothing fighting for the freedom of Afgans only to hand the keys to the city back to tha people we were there to stop. Biggest shame on you America in history. I guess it will be back to the usual beheadings and public floggings and no books or music or sports or education for women. Great job America and Mr. President!
Shame on the rest of the world. You all are very lucky you don't live there or you'd be singing a different tune! Hypocrites!
Jesus, dude, are you daft? We all agree that it was a waste of time, money and life. You seem to be saying that we should stay there until we fulfill some unachievable goal of bringing democracy and human rights to the country.
Do you not understand that the only way for that to happen is if we stay there forever? As soon as we leave, whenever that may be, it will go back to shit. In the interim, we'll lose more lives. That's what you are suggesting.
Honestly, do you not have critical thinking skills?
To blame the "failure" in Afghanistan on Biden is just stupid. It was always a failure. Learn some history. Every colonial power in history has failed there.
Doodlittle is going to suit up and go to Afghanistan to fight the Taliban and bring democracy to that region. And send his kids and his kids kids if need be. Then the previous deaths won't be for naught.
I guess Doo-little supported inviting the Taliban to Camp David, releasing 5,000 violent Taliban prisoners, and, oh wait, that was Trumps doing... I remember him bragging about pinning this on Biden to make him appear to be a failure, typical right wing strategy... and do you think for a second they're going to like bringing Muslims to this country? Just wait, once a month or 2 goes by, and this is mostly forgotten, the right will be screaming again.... yes, double speak and hypocrisy at it's finest. (nothing new of course)
You like to put words in peoples mouths I see. And Trump isn';t President. If he was and he had the same outcome as what we have now I would say FUCK TRUMP.. You people seem to have little sympathy for Muslims and Afghan's.
How many American lives are you willing to risk to protect Afghans from the Taliban, and how long do you propose that we stay there to ensure that Afghans are safe?
Dumb question Bri. Not one life should have been lost. Many volunteered though. Were the most powerful country in the world and a few Taliban beat us. Something ain't right. But seems we didn't want to win or we would have nipped it in the but long ago. Probably a lot more troops would have ended it. And more world cooperation. Seems nobody gives a shit and it's disheartening. Of course it shouldn't go on forever but look at it now. Total chaos with it just like it was 20 years ago and thousands dead for nothing. I feel for them and what the most powerful country couldn't even get them freedom in the end.
History will judge how we just let our allies get swallowed up by evil by abandoning them.
I know your Jewish. How would you feel if the world abandoned Israel or WW!! and let the Nazis kill all the Jews? That's how the Afgans are feeling now. Abandoned by the world. Nobody cares about them! I personally feel very sad for them!
It wasn't a stupid question, and you didn't answer it. If we stay there more American and Afghan live will be lost. That is a fact. There's a good chance that it will become a full-on war.
We could never "win" over there. It wasn't possible for the Brits, the Russians or for us. We could never be more than a band-aid.
So again, how many lives would you be willing to lose, and how long would you keep troops there, knowing that the same thing would happen as soon as we leave?
Learn some history. The Allies knew about the death camps as early as 1941. They made a conscious choice to do nothing, which facilitated the deaths of over 6,000,000 Jews. Even after the war is was extremely hard for the Jewish refugees to to emigrate to the US and Great Britain. Yours was a ridiculous question based on historical falsehoods.
Six million died between 1941 and 1945. FDR and Churchill knew about the camps from the beginning, and they knew that they could save lives by mounting a ground invasion sooner. FDR specifically worked to push that date back. The Allied invasion was not specifically to save Jews, it was to start the end of the war, which it did.
The Soviets, pushing in from the East, liberated camps earlier than did the US or England.
So no, we did not save the Jews. We knowingly and willingly watched MILLIONS get murdered. Six million died, and you actually have the nads to say that we saved them.
Dude, you're literally being disgusting with this comparison. Take a long lap.
Of course we saved them and brought them here. Your facts are debatable by many,
Bottom line is America generally is pro Israel as I am. I would fight for Israel to have there own place to practice their religion where it started it all in biblical literature. To me Israel is the historical land of Israelis and Jews and they own it. They were there long before Mohammed came peddling his stuff.
"World War II prompted the largest displacement of human beings the world has ever seen—although today's refugee crisis is starting to approach its unprecedented scale. But even with millions of European Jews displaced from their homes, the United States had a poor track record offering asylum. Most notoriously, in June 1939, the German ocean liner St. Louis and its 937 passengers, almost all Jewish, were turned away from the port of Miami, forcing the ship to return to Europe; more than a quarter died in the Holocaust."
Yes, Do Little, the US did allow some Jews and other refugees to enter after the war, but BK's point still stands. They kept a lot of Jews from entering.
I would fight for Native Americans to have there own place to practice their religion where it started. To me the United States is the historical land of Native Americans they own it. They were there long before Columbus came peddling his stuff.
The whole "saved from the Nazis" is absurd. FDR made a choice to not invade earlier, knowing what was going on. You could make a case that he allowed more deaths. You can't make any point that the US saved Jews from the Nazis. Once the Nazi regime fell we allowed some refugees in. They were absorbed my many countries, France, Australia, Canada, the US, the newly formed Israel. You can't make any case that we saved them from a regime that was no longer there.
On top of it, we didn't open our doors to the refugees, especially after 1948. Each person/family needed to have an American sponsor, which added an extra layer of hardship. Once here, it was up to Jewish aid groups to support the refugees, not the government.
Alfred Hitchcock made one documentary in his life. The Allied High Command commissioned him to make one about the liberation of the camps, to be shown at the Nuremberg Trials. Once complete it was never used. The Allied Command thought that it would drum up too much support in the US and UK for the survivors, and that the public would actually want all those Jewish refugees.
Look at Doolittle, playing the "great white, Christian savior." Sorry, bud, facts are facts.
By the way, nice job relegating the Holocaust to "Jewish history" as an excuse for spouting ignorant and offensive crap. Why would you know? It didn't affect you. Those six million lived and died in a Jewish vacuum.
Doolittle, do you even believe what you've been saying? The millions of people (not only Jews, but also Roma, gays, people with other religions, and others) who were killed in Germany weren't rescued and weren't brought here. They died. The U.S. did not save them, no one did.
More to the point, the situation in Afghanistan seems personal and close to your heart. It's sad, it's shitty. Of course you want people saved, treated well, a stop to the horrors of life for women and young people there. There's no one here who doesn't. Mistakes are being made. But the arguments you're making are difficult to sustain; they don't work. I'm sorry for however you came to the conclusions you have.
So can this not be about Doolittle and more about policy? And stupid tactics and things that are wrong with the government process?
The US invasion after 9-11 was the biggest fuck up here. The repubs in charge at the time found their excuse $$$$$$$$ to use all the weapons of war we've been sitting on. Lives lost were of little concern to them. Clandestine op with our Seals could have taken out Bin Laden,,, the invasion was totally unnecessary. And invading was playing right into the mujahedeens hands. I remember quite well the Russian debacle in Afghanistan,, I remember feeling so happy that they were getting their asses kicked by these low budget cave dwellers. I didn't know it at the time it was us selling the mujahedeen those stinger missiles that took down all them rushki helicopters. Gave em a good deal too I bet, just to kill our enemy the russians. Now I just feel like an asshole,,, living in a country that's too ignorant to learn from history. To live in a country that worships profits over lives,,,, (die every Halliburton investor). And now you got the roooskies selling the arms to our enemies that are killing us over there. Every one of them is toting a Kalashnikov. How fucked is that ?? God Damn The Pusher and every repub administration in my lifetime.

Doolittle is doing tremendous work for the Afghan refugees by just sharing his criticism for Biden here.
No harm in keeping American troops on the ground indefinitely to evacuate a million more Afghans who desire to resettle in the US. No problem that they're all Muslims too. As least they're not Spanish speaking immigrants.

Jesus, dude, are you daft? We all agree that it was a waste of time, money and life. You seem to be saying that we should stay there until we fulfill some unachievable goal of bringing democracy and human rights to the country.
Do you not understand that the only way for that to happen is if we stay there forever? As soon as we leave, whenever that may be, it will go back to shit. In the interim, we'll lose more lives. That's what you are suggesting.
Honestly, do you not have critical thinking skills?
To blame the "failure" in Afghanistan on Biden is just stupid. It was always a failure. Learn some history. Every colonial power in history has failed there.

Dumb question Bri. Not one
Dumb question Bri. Not one life should have been lost. Many volunteered though. Were the most powerful country in the world and a few Taliban beat us. Something ain't right. But seems we didn't want to win or we would have nipped it in the but long ago. Probably a lot more troops would have ended it. And more world cooperation. Seems nobody gives a shit and it's disheartening. Of course it shouldn't go on forever but look at it now. Total chaos with it just like it was 20 years ago and thousands dead for nothing. I feel for them and what the most powerful country couldn't even get them freedom in the end.
History will judge how we just let our allies get swallowed up by evil by abandoning them.
I know your Jewish. How would you feel if the world abandoned Israel or WW!! and let the Nazis kill all the Jews? That's how the Afgans are feeling now. Abandoned by the world. Nobody cares about them! I personally feel very sad for them!

It wasn't a stupid question,
It wasn't a stupid question, and you didn't answer it. If we stay there more American and Afghan live will be lost. That is a fact. There's a good chance that it will become a full-on war.
We could never "win" over there. It wasn't possible for the Brits, the Russians or for us. We could never be more than a band-aid.
So again, how many lives would you be willing to lose, and how long would you keep troops there, knowing that the same thing would happen as soon as we leave?
Learn some history. The Allies knew about the death camps as early as 1941. They made a conscious choice to do nothing, which facilitated the deaths of over 6,000,000 Jews. Even after the war is was extremely hard for the Jewish refugees to to emigrate to the US and Great Britain. Yours was a ridiculous question based on historical falsehoods.

Six million died between 1941
Six million died between 1941 and 1945. FDR and Churchill knew about the camps from the beginning, and they knew that they could save lives by mounting a ground invasion sooner. FDR specifically worked to push that date back. The Allied invasion was not specifically to save Jews, it was to start the end of the war, which it did.
The Soviets, pushing in from the East, liberated camps earlier than did the US or England.
So no, we did not save the Jews. We knowingly and willingly watched MILLIONS get murdered. Six million died, and you actually have the nads to say that we saved them.
Dude, you're literally being disgusting with this comparison. Take a long lap.

From The Smithsonian:
From The Smithsonian:
"World War II prompted the largest displacement of human beings the world has ever seen—although today's refugee crisis is starting to approach its unprecedented scale. But even with millions of European Jews displaced from their homes, the United States had a poor track record offering asylum. Most notoriously, in June 1939, the German ocean liner St. Louis and its 937 passengers, almost all Jewish, were turned away from the port of Miami, forcing the ship to return to Europe; more than a quarter died in the Holocaust."
Yes, Do Little, the US did allow some Jews and other refugees to enter after the war, but BK's point still stands. They kept a lot of Jews from entering.

The whole "saved from the
The whole "saved from the Nazis" is absurd. FDR made a choice to not invade earlier, knowing what was going on. You could make a case that he allowed more deaths. You can't make any point that the US saved Jews from the Nazis. Once the Nazi regime fell we allowed some refugees in. They were absorbed my many countries, France, Australia, Canada, the US, the newly formed Israel. You can't make any case that we saved them from a regime that was no longer there.
On top of it, we didn't open our doors to the refugees, especially after 1948. Each person/family needed to have an American sponsor, which added an extra layer of hardship. Once here, it was up to Jewish aid groups to support the refugees, not the government.
Alfred Hitchcock made one documentary in his life. The Allied High Command commissioned him to make one about the liberation of the camps, to be shown at the Nuremberg Trials. Once complete it was never used. The Allied Command thought that it would drum up too much support in the US and UK for the survivors, and that the public would actually want all those Jewish refugees.
Look at Doolittle, playing the "great white, Christian savior." Sorry, bud, facts are facts.

More to the point, the situation in Afghanistan seems personal and close to your heart. It's sad, it's shitty. Of course you want people saved, treated well, a stop to the horrors of life for women and young people there. There's no one here who doesn't. Mistakes are being made. But the arguments you're making are difficult to sustain; they don't work. I'm sorry for however you came to the conclusions you have.

The US invasion after 9-11 was the biggest fuck up here. The repubs in charge at the time found their excuse $$$$$$$$ to use all the weapons of war we've been sitting on. Lives lost were of little concern to them. Clandestine op with our Seals could have taken out Bin Laden,,, the invasion was totally unnecessary. And invading was playing right into the mujahedeens hands. I remember quite well the Russian debacle in Afghanistan,, I remember feeling so happy that they were getting their asses kicked by these low budget cave dwellers. I didn't know it at the time it was us selling the mujahedeen those stinger missiles that took down all them rushki helicopters. Gave em a good deal too I bet, just to kill our enemy the russians. Now I just feel like an asshole,,, living in a country that's too ignorant to learn from history. To live in a country that worships profits over lives,,,, (die every Halliburton investor). And now you got the roooskies selling the arms to our enemies that are killing us over there. Every one of them is toting a Kalashnikov. How fucked is that ?? God Damn The Pusher and every repub administration in my lifetime.
