From The Atlantic magazine:
"Never mind that the previous administration's deal with the Taliban included the release of 5,000 fighters from prison and favored an even earlier departure date than the one that Biden embraced.
Never mind that Trump had drawn down U.S. troop levels from about 13,000 to 2,500 during his last year in office and had failed to repatriate America's equipment on the ground.
Never mind the delay caused by Trump and his adviser Stephen Miller's active obstruction of special visas for Afghans who helped us."
By the way, when Reagan lost 241 marines in the1983 Beirut bombing (marines he had stationed there the year before, against the advice of many), Democrats didn't talk about impeachment. They united with Republicans in mourning a national tragedy.
How times have changed.
PJ216:
Contrary to your assertion, the Taliban violated Trump's "conditions" from day one. In plain sight.
Did Trump "blast them immediately" as you suggested? Ha.
No.
He withdrew American troops anyway.
From FactCheck.org:
"And the Trump administration kept to the pact, reducing U.S. troop levels from about 13,000 to 2,500, even though the Taliban continued to attack Afghan government forces and welcomed al-Qaeda terrorists into the Taliban leadership."
The Taliban knew that TRUMP was weak. He desperately wanted to win the upcoming election, and saw this as a way to score political points.
They knew that. Surprised you didn't.
Fear and Panic enables those who obfuscate and suppress facts to get a pass. Ted you are one of "Those" who are subservient to your media bosses and carry the company water.
Ivermectin tablets are approved by the FDA to treat people with intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis, two conditions caused by parasitic worms. In addition, some topical (on the skin) forms of ivermectin are approved to treat external parasites like head lice and for skin conditions such as rosacea.
Some forms of ivermectin are used in animals to prevent heartworm disease and certain internal and external parasites. It's important to note that these products are different from the ones for people, and safe when used as prescribed for animals, only.
Hey Ted
How about a cartoon on the "great" performance by President Biden in the pullout of Afghanistan.
Inept and weak all at once are his strongest qualities
