Biden hammered for spending time at Camp David while Taliban take over Afghanistan

SFC (Join to see) -I'm not sure what it it you think he was going to do other than order the evacuation.
Are you upset that Biden wasn't flying the helicopters? Was he supposed to form a crack team of armed politicians and invade Afghanistan, like a geriatric team of Expendables?
What kind of masturbatory, Lliam Neeson'esque fantasy are you picturing?

SFC Michael Hasbun - I believed there was a mobile edit and I just didn't know how to use it. :)

SFC Michael Hasbun - Sarcasm during a national crisis, where a nation of people is going to be tortured and killed or enslaved, afterward Sharia Law will be imposed, is very unbecoming. This is more than a black eye for our nation. It will take us +20 years to recover from. I probably will not see it.

In reality I have been upset for several months now because anyone with 2 eyes saw this coming a long time ago. When the Taliban broke the agreement and started taking ground some time ago. That was the time to recognize there is no agreement anymore and push back the Taliban with force. The Progressive Socialist Democrats have a history of not being willing to adjust their actions when someone takes advantage of them: like when Iran broke their agreement the Obama. I just can’t understand this unwillingness to take action when someone does you wrong. It seems the only action they can take is to lie on our Congress Floor about Trump being an agent for Russia, among other things. It appears Democrats only attack their own Country. Do you think the rest of the world doesn’t see this? Like I said it will take our Country +20 years to live down this shame. Mark my words. MHO

SFC Michael Hasbun Really, there are 10,000 Americans hoping to get evacuated before they get slaughtered and you say "This no longer has anything to do with us". If you were one of those 10,000 would you feel the same way?

SGT (Join to see) - Quote for the article: The US and Nato allies have agreed to withdraw all troops within 14 months "if the militants uphold the deal".

Well now there's a new sheriff in town who has to enforce agreements and oversee our nation’s wellbeing, President Biden. The only problem is he’s either unwilling or unable to discern when an agreement has been broken, find a new solution, and protect US interests. If it’s the Taliban now, or Iran years ago violating the agreement in place, the agreement is over. Any sane person understands that… but not our President, and it appears not you either. We see it differently, we will have to agree to disagree.

You assume quite poorly. I don’t think the deal has been upheld. For the record, perhaps you could explain to the group what the four major interrelated elements of the agreement were? Lots of folks here are discussing this agreement, but I don’t think many of them know what was in it.

Anyway, Biden can’t just scrap the deal, but he should, but he can’t. It’s an un winnable situation for him.
The deal that the previous Administration negotiated was god awful dogsh*t. It depends on our forces and the threat of our force as leverage to compel the Taliban to negotiate. (Which the barely did, even with the threat of the use of that force while we drawed down).

The Taliban doesn’t want to negotiate with the Afghan government. They would say/do just about anything to get us to leave. And I’m guessing they’ll be on semi-good behavior for a little while after we leave, to keep up appearances. And then they’ll start to regress.

Of course the administration knows that the deal isn’t being adhered to 100%. The biggest short is on the point of a permanent cease fire. But that’s because of the second biggest short in the deal; the two sides aren’t really having intraafghan talks.
What would you have Biden do, recommit 50000 joes for another 10 years? That’s a finger in the dyke. Unless we send 1000000 for 30, this isn’t really something we’re going to win.

On this issue, Biden was handed a car with electrical problems, it leaks all the fluids, the ac doesn’t work, the windshield is cracked, the brakes squeal, the interior is stained....and now his new girlfriend is telling him to fix it for $50.
Unwinnable situation.

Right, another accomplishment for him as he destroyed our Country's credibility with the world. Try the impossible of listing Biden's major accomplishments rather than criticizing Trump.

MSgt (Join to see) He also used to work 12 to 18 hour days. How many hours does Biden spend working for the American people?

Closer to the topic:

One thing I did learn was that President Obama played golf left handed, (which I also do) and does play fairly well and often. I'm relay not concerned about Him or any other President, current or past playing golf and one of the few outlets they may have to relax even for a little while.

No inheritance issues for President’s sir. They make the rules and have to abide those agreements that are in place, when one side breaks the agreement the new sheriff in town (in this case Biden) has to figure out a new way. This is something that Progressives are historically very bat at in my opinion.

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter - Totally agree they need some R&R. The stress of that position shows on the before/after photo faces of any POTUS. We've had some manage World Wars. It's an understatement that there was little turnover between previous and existing NCA. POTUS Biden can never erase this part of History. It's on his watch. Just bring our folks home and hope for no loss of life. Hopeful "military adventure' will be well-thought in the future. Re: Afghan, it takes a dedicated and responsive partner to make COIN work.
