    Top Military leaders declare the withdrawal from Afghanistan as a Logistical success but a strategic failure.

    So, there ya go, haters - it was a logistics success.......you guys just don't like democrats who clean up your messes.

    This was an obvious lie. I mean, how can one praise Biden for having balls to do it while claiming his generals, who are pot committed there, gave their blessing? Seemed like a cranky old man move to rush it before 9/11.

    https://www.politico.com/news/2021/09/28/top-generals-afghanistan-withdrawal-congress-hearing-514491
    Top generals told lawmakers under oath on Tuesday that they advised President Joe Biden early this year to keep several thousand troops in Afghanistan — directly contradicting the president’s comments in August that no one warned him not to withdraw troops from the country.

    The remarkable testimony pits top military brass against the commander-in-chief as the Biden administration continues to face tough questions about what critics are calling a botched withdrawal that directly led to the deaths of 13 American service members, scenes of chaos at the Kabul airport, and the abandonment of American citizens and at-risk Afghans in the war-torn country.​

    I was always under the impression that the military were against evacuation, Biden insisted they must leave and ordered a total evacuation plan, and the military provided that plan. So, yes, the logistical details of the evacuation plan had their blessing in that they were involved in putting it together, but the overall strategy of the evacuation was not something there was agreement on.

    Did Biden say something different? I must have missed it.

    What do you expect from him? His family isn’t the one getting blown up in their car. But I doubt he has to he physique or endurance to provide humanitarian aid like the targeted family

    if someone is winning…they don’t keep saying they’ve won. If someone is in power , they don’t keep reminding others that they are. If a plan was actually a success, you wouldn’t have to try this hard posting about it on a daily basis

    Biden also lied about not leaving 1000s behind. He also lied about Al Qaeda not being a threat.

    Maybe he is being more honest behind closed doors, but he has being very dishonest to the American people regarding Afghanistan.

    It's true. The focus shouldn't be on these hearings right now. The focus should be on rescuing folks. It seems they just loaded up a bunch of randoms, flew them away and took credit for huge numbers.
