Worst of a Worst Case Scenario
Dear Editor,
I wish to thank those in the military who protect our country and am praying for the families of those killed in the Kabul evacuation as well as those who gave their lives over the past 20 years in the Afghanistan War. It is my hope they will find peace in knowing that their loved ones did not die in vain. They can be proud knowing that they served our country well by taking the fight to the enemy and keeping the battle on foreign land.
Unfortunately, President Biden has ceded the battlefield to a very vicious and cruel adversary. One that follows Sharia law and is the antithesis of freedom and will do whatever it takes to disrupt our American way of life. The Taliban now have taken control of vast resources left behind by our hasty withdrawal and will no doubt start planning to attack free societies around the world. It is the worst of a worst case scenario and one can only hope that there are still competent intelligence and military leaders at the top willing to act in America’s best interests. This is the pinnacle of incompetency in Joe Biden’s incompetent 47-year political career.

Afghanistan was never going to support a strong central government. Taliban was always going to take back control as the tribal nature of the country’s culture was never going to support a national military. That is NO excuse for the rushed exist that left Americans that wanted out behind. His administration will answer for this failure during the midterm elections. And thankfully this will given him a reason to not run for another 4 years.
Let us all hope and pray that this was the pinnacle of his incompetence and not just a hold my beer moment.
The total incompetence of Joe Biden, his entire administration and, sadly, even many in leadership of our military, is beyond belief! That equipment was paid for by American taxpayers, to protect Americans. Not for disposal at the whim and fancy of idiots in the “ranks”! Shame on them all!
I mean, that’s kind of what happens when you start a fight you cannot win. You take some major losses. Thanks Bush 2!
Those in the military in Afghanistan served their country more nobly, than their leaders.
President Trump released Taliban leaders from prison and had already set in motion the steps to withdraw. Biden just had the guts to finish the job.
A couple of FACTS for you:
1. After twenty years of war in Afghanistan – – after 800,000 Americans serving in Afghanistan, after 20,744 American servicemembers injured, and after 2,461 American personnel lost — President Biden refused to send another generation of America’s sons and daughters to fight in a war that should have ended long ago.
2. After more than two TRILLION dollars spent in Afghanistan – a cost estimated to be over $300 million a day in Afghanistan for two decades – President Biden refused to continue a war that was no longer in service of a vital national interest.
So some people need to adjust where they get their so called “news” from.
Obviously, some of you have zero knowledge of the CONDITIONS set forth in the Trump/Pompeo discussions with the Taliban, which were never adhered to and which “quid pro Joe” altered in his perpetual quest to reverse all things Trump except blame for Obamas ongoing fundamental transformation of our Country. The Taliban allowed the “homicide bomber’ access one day after announcing their demand that America stop evacuating so many of their countrymen, the majority of which had no special visa and never collaborated with the U.S. Even the fawning mainstream media turned on Biden for this one. There is no doubt in my military mind that Obama is still the puppet master and unfortunately the worst is yet to come in the middle east. Just wait for the next chapter, the total withdrawal from Iraq. God Bless America, it is our only saving grace! James Simmonds
Most agree leaving was the right thing to do. But not having a plan to deal with the worst case scenario (that was advised as a potential outcome by intelligence) that ultimately led to chaos leaving Americans and others still in Afghanistan that wanted to leave. Not to mentioned leaving security to the Taliban that led to the death of more soldiers and civilians. Find me one person who thinks Biden’s exist strategy was a success?
Joe Biden does
Ya boy Trump negotiated a deal to leave Afghanistan with the Taliban – not with Afghanistan government. Then, he bragged about how Biden couldn’t get out of that deal. Well, terrible leaders have consequences. Good thing is, we can move forward and start dealing with the xenophobia and hate in our nation instead of fighting another land’s war for them and trying to force our culture on them.
I know the problem with Joe Biden and his actions (inactions) in Afghanistan. He didn’t have the correct cue cards he usually gets from staffers, or it was past time for his nap.
Some of you have missed the info from Trump on the withdrawal.He had stipulations that if the Talibond crossed any ,Trump would bomb the Head Tailbonds off the map.Trump knew where his headquarters were. Also why did Lil Joe decide that this was the only directive left by Trump that he was going to follow.The first week Joe’s in office he rescinds everything that he could of Trump’s .If the Afganstan had been a plus and everything worked out,do you think Joe would be giving Trump credit.Example:Joe tried to take credit for the First 2 vaccine’s ,then he tried to take credit for getting a number of vaccines per day,which had already begun under Trump.Joe is a loser.I have just read he is going to get the UN to help him Obliterate and go around our second amendment on guns.He and the Democrats are trying to DESTROY the US as we have known it. We have lost our standing in the world with his Stupid blunder in Afganstan.Our money is going to A Big “O” in the world.In the not to distant future we will be trading the Yen and not the Dollar.America is not sucking up to China,ex Basketball,Foot,Baseball,Apple,,Disney,and the list continues.We may as well be loyal to China because they are in everything we touch in America.It seems some of our minorities feel oppressed by whites today ,just wait if and when China takes over there will be killing in the streets and not by BLM and Antifa but by the Chinese.You Democrats want Marxist well you’ll get your fill of it when Xi-Peng takes over. It’s not to late ,we can change things if you’ll vote in competent Republicans in the upcoming elections.
