    OK, so the State Department and the Pentagon are lying and some guy tweeting under the name cdrsalamander is what you consider "really thinking about it"? Do you need a bit more foil for your hat. I realize that your retrumplicans now hate the military and law enforcement...

    Oh, and you are the official decider of such things? Please do post your official certification of such.

    You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but you need to be wise enough to recognize that's all it is..your opinion. You fail that test...calling said certification above as the Official Decider into question.

    Don't necessarily have an issue with this part.

    Waving your hand at a Gold Star mother dismissively as you walk away from her is ... leadership? Seriously???

    Biased much? You do realize when you say things like this you are loudly and proudly declaring yourself a tool of the left who shouldn't be paid any attention to, right?

    Most experts on the subject would disagree with your assessment that the Taliban and ISIS-K are "very closely allied".

    Al Qaeda is a different matter, though they are significantly weakened at this point. No one is suggesting that our counter-terrorism operations against groups that are threatening us or our allies will stop. So I don't really get the point you are driving at.

    Oh yes I do......those were all convictions and he had to pay fines, and penalties.....

    I mean how do you support a pedophile? How can you sleep at night knowing that you put a con man in charge of the USA?

    Fair, but you would agree that should go both ways, no? Especially to the mother of a son killed under your watch? and that walking away dismissively is certainly the wrong thing to do?

    It worked exactly as I thought....pointing out the hypocrisy of those criticizing Biden....it is 100% apt.

    And it is Mr. Video Game Boy to you.

    It bugs me that 25% don't care about integrity, I will admit that. The USA is crumbling in a race to the bottom because people have fake morals, fake religion, and fake outrage.

    Either we get through this or we break up, Rome style......I am putting money on the latter.....and it will be bloody because there are more guns than people in this country....the Right side has guns, the left side has guns, everyone has guns......

    No room for moderation in the republican platform - either you are all in with a racist bigot, who lies about everything and people lack the integrity and or intelligence or honor to care vs. the Dems who are split between progressives wanting to move this country in a more friendly societal way and the moderates who are basically GOP light folks looking to get rich off of their position.

    It sucks....the USA sucks.

    I'm a tool of the left cuz I'm spitting turth that you bozos can't understand? Trump turds talk in this hypothetical as if Trump was never president for 4 years with a track record. He continously bashed gold star family's and told the mother of a killed soldier that "he signed up for this." Telling facts makes me a partsian left LOL. I've bashed democrats plenty on this site and I've called Obama the biggest failure of our lifetime.Biden met with every single family individually even the ones that called him "senile and crazy." That's the definition of leadership. You think for a second Trump would ever show compassion for someone that bashed him? He didn't even have empathy for families that didn't even say anything to him

    "We haven’t been able to confirm the number of dogs released, nor can we confirm whether the U.S. Military evacuated the 46 working dogs that had been under KSAR’s care when they left. We are urgently pressing for more details, and while this is more difficult now that the U.S. military has completely evacuated Kabul..."

    Would agree the war isn't over until all our people come home? If not...why not?

    Withdrawing from the battlefield (ending war operations) does NOT mean the war is actually over.

    FWIW, to truly end ANY war, there needs to be an official signed declaration of such. Especially needed in this case, as it would contain the specific terms of getting the rest out. Does such a document exist? Nope. Some just said it was over.

    If you're in a fight, and you say its over, but the other side keeps hitting you, or planning on hitting you, anyway...is it really over? Or does the other guy also need to say, ok, it's over?

    Trumpers are the trolls of society, they have little going on in their lives and get off on trying to make others as miserable as they are, instead of looking around and supporting those that would actually help them.

    Ignorant and uneducated - is no way to go through life.

    PS. the Dogs are a mock outrage false flag...ignore it.......people won't even adopt the damned dogs in this country......

    The same experts that told us the ANA could hold the country? Those experts?

    The point is pretty clear. Claiming this war is over is hubris. We don't get to decide that. That's how we got hit on 9/11...pretending the enemy has a say.

    You responded to my quote. I CHALLENGE you to show where I supported the "Mission Accomplished" bullshit. THAT would be hypocrisy. But you can't do it because...as always..your full of ****.
