Biden announced today the unilatteral withdrawal of US forces from Ass-crackistan by September.
Republican Lindsay Graham immediately denounced Biden.
It is said even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. This is such a good decision it should have been done every year since 2005. There is absolutely no reason at all for US forces to be there.
Prediction #1: The Taliban will get really quiet until September 11th.
Prediction #2: A few thousand Afghanistan citizens will throw grenades and plant roadside bombs to try to keep America in Afghanistan so the Afghanistan citizens don’t lose their jobs supporting American bases.
Prediction #3: A few ten thousand Afghanistan citizens will be murdered on September 12th. Of course, none of us will hear about it because not even Christian Amanpour will cover things that make democrats look bad. Hint: predictable bloodbaths make people look bad.
What Biden should have done: first negotiate a power sharing arrangement with Taliban with US force withdrawal included. Then it’s an agreement, not “running away”.
But in any case, this is long overdue and welcome news. Republicans are stupid to complain about this.
Republicans should reject democratic party initiatives on almost every topic, but it shouldn’t just be a knee-jerk response. It should be a reasoned response that advances the values our side enjoys.
Unfounded rumor: the only reason Biden is doing this is because he was not cut in on the skim from defense contracts. Drawdowns during the Trump administration severely cut the revenue stream to the point it wasn’t worth protecting. And most of that was going to Hillery and Kerry.

Biden’s “plan” actually extended the troops in Afghanistan who, IIRC, were slated to leave on May 1 under President Trump. I don’t know what Graham’s objections are as I didn’t go find out after reading your article, but to give credit to Biden for finally ending the war when Trump would have done it faster (maybe)… I was also under the impression that the Trump Admin had actually negotiated an agreement, at least I remember discussion on podcasts on the issue. So did Biden dump the agreement or are they just sticking with whatever had been previously agreed upon?
OTOH it’s par for the course for this Administration. All they have done since they came into office was flat out lie. There was no vaccine until Biden became President, there was no plan to distribute vaccine until Biden was sworn in, the economy was in shambles and is only recovering because Biden became President, the riots were caused by Trump and only stopped because…
Well, you get it. I won’t knock the Biden Admin for following through, if they follow through. I would love to see us out.

Trump did indeed push for a full withdrawal, but according to the New York Times, it was bad when Trump wanted to do it, but it’s good now. And Trump’s own subordinates undermined his policy to protect America from that mad man, but now the Pentagon is fully on board.
