I guess disregarding your generals' recommendations is Trump's fault.
Biden has never taken one ounce of blame for ANYTHING.

Trump didn't leave billions of military equipment and Americans behind. Diaper Joe at his finest.

7 billion dollars isn't a lot of money if you aren't accountable for it.

And he probably left the Americans behind because he knew there would be plenty of time to go get them later because it was going to take the Taliban a little while to learn how to fly helos and track down and execute all the terps and native support personnel.
 
Kirby just needs a big red nose and big shoes cause he is just a clown, defending that s**t withdrawal.

I thought it was like 80 billion dollars worth of equipment? Checked. That number was the original $$ investment total so I was wrong. Forbes says equipment value is closer to 18 billion, but was stripped down of electronics. And the Afghans are technically dumb. That's still no excuse for leaving Americans behind, especially civilians.

No that was bullshit. It's 7 billion dollars according to the office of accountability folks. 80 billion was allocated.
 
And here's the thing. The lying Biden admin says they were locked in and their hands were tied to this agreement that Trump had with the Taliban on the withdrawal. And yet, on day one of Biden admin, he started to undo every single Trump policy. But he was locked in to an agreement with the Taliban? What bulls**t.
 
Biden is a liar (same as saying the sun rises in the east) when he says nobody told him to leave a force of 2500 or maybe more in Afghanistan. John Kirby embarrassed himself by saying he didn't see chaos on the withdrawal but NBC news had no problem calling it chaotic.

One of our greatest military fiascos that the world saw so let's blame somebody else.
One of most pathetic excuses that came out of yesterday’s press conference was the claim that Biden’s hand were tied by the decisions of the Trump administration.

That is total bullshit because Biden had no problem reversing scores of other Trump policy decisions. He simply chose to maintain the status quo and to blame Trump for the Afghan fiasco is beyond pathetic. However I’m sure the sheep like RayRay, ReRe, and kalim will lap it up.

Even if his hands were tied by orange man decisions, the decision to leave bagram in the middle of the night with HVT prisoners still inside and the absolute chaos with the airlift out and the ROE for the rear security elements are absolutely his fault.

Plus the hummers, mraps and blackhawk helicopters he left behind. I didn't think the Taliban could manage the last bit but apparently apparently having an air asset you can throw people out of was all the moto they required.

And not even ONE bit of accountability for anyone in one of the darkest days of war for our military or administration. The most honest thing (obviously a slip of the tongue) that Kirby said was that "this (report) isn't about accountability". It never is with this administration.

This, and it's the main reason the withdrawal was such a disaster.

The decision never made any sense.

Not sure why you’re dragging me into defending Biden. I’m pretty sure I called Biden’s handling of the withdrawal a “royal cluster f***.”
