Joe Biden on Obama.
Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
Bush started this asshole
Trumps people did the same
what parts target ONLY the Obama team?

You MEAN BUSH'S Afghanistan FUCK UP! Apparently, no lover of books or HISTORY, he forgot that less than 20 years before AFGHANISTAN broke Russia.
And, LET'S NOT EVER FORGET THAT BUSH WANTED TO GO TO IRAQ, CHENEY WANTED TO GO TO IRAQ, BOLTON WANTED TO GO TO IRAQ, RUMSFELD WANTED TO GO TO IRAQ. So they did! And MOVED money, men, machinery and 100% FOCUS TO IRAQ--from AFGHANISTAN.

Since the start of the war in 2001, the US has sent more than 775,000 troops to Afghanistan. All told, 2,351 American troops have died during the war as well as 3,814 US contractors, according to the Post.
who started that war in 2001 and couldn't get Bin Ladin?

MAGA MAN (12-10-2019)
I am not surprised by this report, there were a very few of us that pointed out that Russia flopped there, and it would be a money pit for the USA.
I always thought Afghanistan should have been a special op mission, go in, get bin Laden and leave. I was criticized for that position. I thought occupying Afghanistan without an exit plan was a mistake, plus we further erred by not focusing on Afghanistan and invading Iraq at the same time. It cost too many lives and taxed our resources.
because we had become entrenched
we were still in Iraq at first and needed the access
once we left Iraq we should have gotten out
BUT
we should have gone in and gotten OBL and got out
why didn't Bush get OBL?????
because they didn't want to get him
it gave them an excuse to stay and build the march to IRAQ which they lied to the people and made them believe Sadam had something to do with 911
MAGA MAN (12-10-2019)
May 2, 2011 is the day Obama had OBL killed
we should have left by 2012

By 2009, a Taliban-led shadow government began to form in parts of the country.[119] In 2010, President Karzai attempted to hold peace negotiations with the Taliban leaders, but the rebel group refused to attend until mid-2015 when the Taliban supreme leader finally decided to back the peace talks.[120]
In September 2014 Ashraf Ghani became President after the 2014 presidential election where for the first time in Afghanistan's history power was democratically transferred.[121][122][123][124][125] On 28 December 2014, NATO formally ended ISAF combat operations in Afghanistan and transferred full security responsibility to the Afghan government. The NATO-led Operation Resolute Support was formed the same day as a successor to ISAF.[126][127] Thousands of NATO troops remained in the country to train and advise Afghan government forces[128] and continue their fight against the Taliban.[129] It was estimated in 2015 that "about 147,000 people have been killed in the Afghanistan war since 2001
