I thought you were saying Biden was wrong to withdraw?
No, not at all. It was the way he ordered it, and was an asshole for telling the world when he was doing it. Then, he fucked that up and made us look weak.

The occupation was a failure and the US knew that long before Biden withdrew troops.
It wouldn't have been if the Generals, the president and congress were all on the same page, and fought it to win.

Win what? You said the mission was to kill bin Laden. Why stay after that.
Like I said, ask Obama.

So, is that a yes? You did support both wars?
Anyone who supported those unnecessary wars doesn't have a leg to stand on when it comes to how they ended. We got out of Afghanistan with minimal casualties - the war ended. Finally. That's not a "disaster."
I don't even know what "to quote the news media" means. Is that the arbiter now? Should we quote them when evaluating Trump and Republicans too?
I said 93% of Americans supported it. That is a fact. Were you among that 7%? I'd be willing to bet you weren't.
Of course it was a disaster. Even your far left leaning news medias said it was. Get with the progran.
I should have known you wouldn't know what a quote means.

I've been against every war in my lifetime. I'm even against the next war.
And I'm always right. I got called a traitor & terrorist sympathizer for opposing those wars - but I was right. And now a bunch of people who supported those disastrous conflicts are lecturing people like me about how we didn't end one of them in neat & perfect fashion.
You didn't quote anything. You made a blanket statement that "the media" said it was a "disaster."
It wasn't. We got out of an unstable country after a near 2-decade war with minimal casualties. If you think it was a "disaster," please provide some justification for that opinion.
Agreed. People raised by abusive, bigoted parents tend to grow up just like them.
To prevent it from falling back to radical Islamic forces. Namely the Taliban who supported bin Laden's al-Qaeda.
The US didn't want to make the same mistake it did when it abandoned Afghanistan after the decade long occupation by the Soviets. Unfortunately, democracy and civilization must be earned, not given. Afghanistan should have been an international diplomacy problem, not a US military one.
I recollect a lot of Americans supporting taking down al-Qaeda, but not invading Iraq.

In part, it means "not Australian". Especially dingo-fucking wife-beaters and Nazis.
Still having issues getting past one sentence, I see
What am I missing, Arbie? What part of responding to a bolded part of the post bothers you?
That's what I said. Would you like a gold star?
