The Biden Administration and All Things Politics


"I'm glad President Biden made the decision. He is not responsible for the details of the withdrawal," MacGregor said. "That is the job primarily of the secretary of defense -- and General McKenzie and General Milley certainly should have been involved."

And, as MacGregor pointed out, two of the three people responsible -- Milley and McKenzie -- were appointed by Donald Trump.

the truth is that Biden accomplished exactly what Trump had tried to do in his final year in office.

The only real difference is that Trump wanted to withdraw more quickly and with less regard for the Afghan citizens who worked with the United States.

In fact, while Trump and Pompeo have taken their shots at Biden, some of the key players Trump tapped to carry out his planned withdrawal are actually praising Biden for finishing a job they say Trump started.

"The fact is this was the Trump-Biden withdrawal," said William Ruger, tapped by Trump to be U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan in September 2020.

"Donald Trump wanted out," MacGregor said. "It was no secret plan. No misleading agenda. He wanted out."

The withdrawal order horrified top military leaders, including Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley and CENTCOM commander Gen. Kenneth McKenzie.

Both men had just weeks earlier signed off on a memo written by recently ousted Defense Secretary Mark Esper warning that the withdrawal of U.S. troops would result in chaos in Afghanistan and a heightened terror threat in the U.S.

So much posturing. No one wants to own anything. And the whole thing was still handled *****ily no matter who signed off on what.

You can be a victim without physical violence. It still requires some sort of emotional/social/mental violence.

Which guy? The grieving father you said went on Hannity to "push a specific political perspective".

The guy you and Hannity were victimizing? His son was a victim of ISIS-K, not the Taliban.

You... Are the one saying the father is lying.

Could you point out where I claimed anything he said was false? Every single other poster who read my post missed it.

One might think that you're not satisfied with trying to find the worst possible way to interpret everything I write, but must now make stuff up as well.

So do it. Explain to me what the father said that was wrong.

First, point out where I made a claim he made an error.

The absolute cowardness. It's been stated time and time again nobody cares about exiting the war. It's the way Biden went about it and the people across the globe have condemned him.
