The Afghan warlords who have been the recipients of many billions of dollars from the US, who cultivate the opium that drives the heroin trade in America, & who practice bacha bazi (sex slavery for adolescent boys) now want Uncle Sam to pay for a never-ending twilight war.
NO.
Republican leaders will want to immediately revert to old Neocon/Bushie talking points. We’ve spent 20 years paying the price for this feckless, ill-informed nonsense. Many Americans are dead because of it.
Withdrawing from Afghanistan was Trump’s policy. It‘s the right policy.
Political rivalry makes Republicans want to criticize Biden for withdrawing. That’s wrong. Again, it was Trump’s policy.
How hard is it to say, Biden & his generals had **no plan & withdrew in the most chaotic way possible? **
Right policy, incompetent execution.
They left in the middle of the summer fighting season not in the fall growing season meaning all of the Taliban’s forces are available. How did they not know this?
They left a treasure trove of weapons & vehicles. Why weren’t these brought home or destroyed?
They had **no plan for evacuating Americans. **
Seriously? Why not?
Because “the experts” who run the military & NatSec establishment thought it was unnecessary. How could they not have this after 20 years in country???
They had no idea that the Taliban actually has political legitimacy with a big chunk of the population. But since our incompetent NatSec establishment lives in a closed feedback loop they never knew that either.
What makes the incompetent execution of the Afghan withdrawal by Biden and his woke generals (like Milley) dangerous for Americans is that the Biden policy is to leave the border undefended & to bring in tens or hundreds of thousands of refugees.
Again, NO.
GOP must reject the temptation to bring in Afghan refugees on the basis of “our loyal allies” theory.
Mass migration under any name is a bad idea for America and Americans. That’s how to compound an already bad situation.
Get smart GOP. The right criticism of Biden is for shambolic incompetence, not for leaving Afghanistan. It’s for the danger caused by open borders. Focus on those things & leave the neocon talking points, the forever war, the Afghan warlords, & the “refugee resettlement” behind.
