Team Biden Blaming Donald Trump for Taliban Takeover of Afghanistan

Charlie Spiering 13 Aug 2021

President Joe Biden’s team has increasingly grown defensive following the swift Taliban seizure of key Afghan cities after he withdrew American troops.

West Wing officials voiced their frustrations with former President Donald Trump in conversations with Axios reporter Jonathan Swan.

The officials complained that Trump only left them with 3,000 troops in Afghanistan, forcing them to withdraw because there was no way to keep the peace with such a small force, according to the report.

There was an early peace in Afghanistan, team Biden argued, only because Trump agreed to leave on May 1.

That was an argument that White House press secretary Jen Psaki used in July, noting Biden believed the Taliban “would have been shooting at U.S. troops again after May 1.”

“The withdrawal deadline negotiated by the previous administration kind of set that timeline,” she said.

Biden first chose to extend the deadline for troop withdrawals to September 11, but in July he moved up the timeline to August 31.

Biden also insisted in July that the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan was “not inevitable” in an exchange with reporters.

Of course.  It's ALL President Trump's fault.

Geez.

Sorry, folks, but as even an animated grasshopper knows:  When you're management, everything is your fault.

The problem doesn't lay only at the feet of our politicians and the Afghan govt. I large measure of the responsibility for the collapse rests with our military leadership's inability to do the job they were given to do over a 20 year period. They failed to build up a real Afghan military and they failed to alert our elected leadership that there was no will among the Afghan people to live free of the Taliban.

Afghanies were not, and are not capable of building a civilized society.  They deserve the nation they are reverting to.

Right.  Who would've thought?
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Our original objective in Afghanistan was to maintain a minimal force there to prevent terrorists from gaining control of the government and using it as a base to attack the US.  In 2009, that objective changed.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

We only need to be good at nation destroying. That's something Muslims can understand.
