Showing Original Post only (View all)Poll - Will Afghanistan be a campaign issue in 2024? [View all]
Remembering Benghazi, my feeling is that they will use it whether it is or not.
The real question is, will anyone besides the looney GOP base see it as one.
I read that Joe was questioning his cabinet, asking how this situation could have deteriorated so quickly.
I hope he finds answers, and if there were Trump holdouts/sympathizers involved in State, the military, or anywhere else, he cuts the crap and throws them out hard on their ass.
I remember like it was yesterday April, 1975. The remnants of the South Vietnamese army, regardless of what is said, fought hard and bravely, buying time for an ill planned evacuation of Saigon.
The Afghan Army folded like wet tissue paper.
There is much more going on here than meets the eye.
Bill Clinton had the heads of commanders who bungled during the battle of Mogadishu.
Perhaps ending a few military careers will send a message that this sort of ratfuckery will not be tolerated.

The Trump embeds are deep. Just wonder if there was anything going on to make Biden look

I think it will, but by then the situation will probably have calmed down a lot.

We have to keep pointing out that this was Trump's deal (and Junior Bush's creation)

The GQP is desperate to find something, anything to use against President Biden.
