It is wild that a guy who is siphoning funds from his party to pay his legal funds is still the presumptive nominee to a party that harbors "fiscal conservatives". They want a strong military led by the guy who gave Afghanistan to the Taliban. He's the Taliban's best friend.

Literally no, no it wasn’t The SOLE reason IQ45 abandoned Afghanistan was to fuck Biden over. He announced an impossible pull out schedule with no plan to put it in place or support our allies afterwards Yeah, he got our troops out of Astan, but he LOST the war and destroyed ANY goodwill we had

I don't think a twenty year war that only created death and destruction helped

It certainly didn't, and the country is in worse shape after its government was destroyed and allowed to be consumed by a theocratic regime ensuring that women had their rights sent back decades. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

I'm 42 years old, and I still don't really know what the official reason we invaded Afghanistan. Something about terrorists and how evil the Taliban was. Which isn't a reason to invade a country. Fuck George Bush. He needs to be in prison and not doing art shows

They justified it on the grounds that Osama bin Laden was there, being sheltered by the Taliban. Taking a few well-chosen targets out via drone would have been far more effective than falling into the trap they set, spending lives & resources on a big war to radicalize more people to hate the US.

Just for accuracy's sake, it was Al Qaeda who was sheltering OBL. Drones in 2001 were far different than what came even a decade later and OBL was likely not even in Afghanistan for most if not all of the war. GWB loved instability for middle eastern countries more than some form of justice.

"They justified it on the grounds" ≠ reality.
