What policy for withdrawal from Afghanistan would you have advocated?

Considering that it is a quote from the movie Aliens...

That's it, man. Game over, man. Game over!

Yes - problems at BOTH ends.... both the collection and the delivery. Signs of extremely poor planning and total unpreparedness.

In such a chaotic situation some of this is inevitable, but much of this was easily preventable

But as you so eloquently said before, Biden apparently doesn't even give .1D about the aftermath - he just had this brilliant idea to be able to brag on 9-11 that "all our troops are out of Afghanistan".

Oooooops.

Why don't you put 'her' in charge?





Rarely when have I watched a movie with high expectations have they come anywhere close to meeting them. Aliens beat the snot out of my expectations.

Hudson stole the movie I think.

In both but played a role in the first. Every time someone went to look for the stupid thing they got killed.

Red Dwarf was good. Sadly I only got into it toward the end of its run on PBS back in the 80s or 90s. And Excalibur was imminently forgettable.

It was, eminently.

Wow. That's pretty desperate reaching to connect two unrelated things in order to blame Biden.

No. Biden's breaking the agreement seems to have had no consequences: The Taliban appear to be keeping their side of it regardless. It's kinda understandable why the Taliban would choose to keep their side of it, in the sense that it's easy for them to be magnanimous in victory, and letting the Americans just plain leave the country is as good as killing them from the point of view of the Taliban wanting the Americans out of their country.

LOL. Now Starlight is defending the Taliban. How bizarre.

Is it? Really?

Considering this pearl...

The withdrawal policy was really good overall. ... Overall I would rate the withdrawal from Afghanistan as by far the best thing Biden's done, and I think a lot more positively of Biden than I used to because of it.

...why would anyone be surprised?
