They knew something was up hours before the bombing happened and yet we still werent prepared. This is unacceptable.

Are you saying intelligence wasn't passed on to the force commander on site, or that it was passed on but not acted upon?

He won't resign.
Dems will increase their majority in both houses.
And Biden will win reelection.
Meanwhile your orange God will die of old age before he can stand in another election.
That's the reality Trumper.

I get this feeling that people who are so quick to call for Biden's resignation actually believe that Trump will automatically take his place if that happens.

EDIT d'oh, beaten to the punch.

It's all bullshit concern trolling. They're using dead Americans to try and force the outcome they couldnt get on november 4th and tried to steal on January 6th

I don't really get how anyone can be upset at these 12 deaths and also think that continuing occupation is somehow a better idea. As if we haven't lost literally thousands of troops over this shit that we shouldn't have been involved with in the first place.

Biden needs to resign. His leadership is worthless.

Now, how the fuck is a terrorist action Biden's fault? This was an ISIS attack and it probably pissed the Taliban off as well.

They're upset over the execution of the evacuation. How do we still have employees over there? Why weren't they gradually pulled out over the course of the year? You could still honor your time line of September without stranding your own people and leaving them one choke point to try to escape. C'mon man, this was handled poorly.

Because the Afghan government would've collapsed even sooner and we'd be having this same discussion in June instead.

Why? Is the same true for the other presidents that had far more US soldiers die in Afghanistan?

12 deaths is just under average for Afghanistan. Last year it was actually 9. So. Any loss of life is tragic but if it gets worse that would be telling.

This is Biden's Bengazi and probably will hurt him severely in 2024, Bengazi was 4 dead americans this is 12 news media is going to be screaming that if we run now we're spitting on those soldier's graves, disrespecting their families, telling the world we're cowards, ect. They're gonna go on this as hard as they went on Iraq way back in 2002

covid was 600,000

i think we're all a bit tired of concern trolling over minor military embarassments

and make no mistake, this is an embarassment

but it will not meaningfully impact american ability to project power

Hes the one responsible for getting us into this shitshow by pulling out the military before civilians can escape to safety. Who in their right mind pulls out and leaves everyone else to die by the hands of terrorists?

Like Trump huh guy?
Where 10 Americans were dying every 15 minutes at the height of the pandemic under his leadership.
The pearl clutching from you Trumpers is just obscene.
500,000 dead under his watch and none of you with anything to say about it.

Like you Trumpers pretending to give a shit about American casualties in Afghanistan after you worshipped and supported a guy who managed to give us 1/2 million dead civilians casualties right here in America..
There's criticisms to be made of our evacuation plan and no doubt plenty of blame to be passed around.
That you Trumpers think you should play any part in this discussion after the last 4 years of absolving Trump of responsibility for every fucking up think he did is frankly incredible.
You people are utterly utterly shameless.

It's not all Trump's fault, and I say this as someone who absolutely despises that bloviating sack of moldy monkey shit.

Every US president who's been in office during the Afghan War can shoulder some blame for it.

Bush got us into the whole mess.

Obama didn't get us out when Bin Laden was killed.

Trump started the wheels rolling on us getting out (one of his very few policies that I agreed with) but in the process he legitimized the Taliban, released 5000 of their prisoners early, and left the interim Afghan government completely out of the negotiations.

Biden's pullout is going pretty sloppy, but he is trying to finish up an extraction started by his predecessor (which I'll reiterate, was the RIGHT CALL)

Blaming Trump alone is bullshit, just like blaming Biden alone is bullshit.

I said it in another topic, but trumpers are doing what they do best now that a dem is in office, and that's wearing holes in their fainting couches.

The entire war was 20 years of pulling our pud in the desert. It was a tremendous waste of money, resources, lives, and time. It was never going to be a win. Now its time to chalk up the L and move. The fuck. On.
