    Not going to let the BULLSHIT BROTHERS try to say it was a poor withdrawl - while it was a bit rushed it was and IS a major success having all of our troops out of there.

    Great job by a man who did the RIGHT THING - regardless of it's popularity - we were there too long, lost too many lives on both sides, fighting for a country that has no consequence to our own....waste of time and resources.

    Oh, sure some government contractors got rich, but that was probably the point......waste of time, money and more importantly lives.

    Great job Joe, bringing that to an end.

    I am surprised you can even type with your head so far up the GOP's ass.

    MADISON - Two Afghan refugees are being held in a Dane County jail after being charged with crimes alleged to have been committed at Fort McCoy in Tomah.

    Bahrullah Noori, 20, is charged with three counts of attempting to engage in a sexual act with a minor, while using force in one case. The victims were under the age of 16, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Mohammad Haroon Imaad, 32, is charged with assaulting his spouse by strangling and suffocating her.

    Noori and Imaad are scheduled to appear before a federal judge on Thursday. Noori faces a minimum of 30 years in prison and Imaad faces up to 10 years in prison.

    The charges are a result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Fort McCoy police.

    "We are abandoning our allies" morphed to "refugees are bad" really quickly.

    I think you would agree that allies and child molesters are two entirely different entities.

    The state dept still doesn't know how many Americans they've abandoned to the whims of a terrorist regime that will likely kidnap them, rape them, kill them.... not even always in that order.

    Or they do know vaguely and they think giving the number would look even worse!

    Either way Biden needs to resign over think. Blinken gotta go too. So too our traitorous officials who help our enemies.

    Oh okay..,.

    Seems like the narrative of an Afghan disaster has overshadowed the actual Afghan withdrawal.

    Other than seemingly rushed and disorganized, what’s the huge scandal here? Pulling out of Afghanistan was going to be a **** show regardless of who was at the helm. But it’s done and over, and the US will be better for it in the long term. Biden will take some political heat for it, but it is the right policy choice and that’s what a good leader would do.

    The repugs don't give crap about Afghans like the don't give a crap about babies. It's just a talking point because all they care about is themselves and the ability to judge others.

    I’ve legitimately backed Biden in everything but this stupid backwards ass withdrawal and s subsequent drone strike and stubbornness. You can’t make blanket statements like that
