At a press conference in Islamabad, Raab says there was "common widespread surprise" at the pace of the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan.

Even the Taliban were "taken by surprise" at the speed, he says. The militants took control of Kabul on 15 August, ahead of the scheduled withdrawal of foreign troops at the end of the month.

we also saw the transcript of a call between biden and the afghan president, where biden said it wasn’t going well.

you tell me, which is more pertinent in terms of what Biden should have known…what Biden himself said in July, ow what the UK Fireign secretary ( who you never heard of until today) says he knew.

Biden said in July that it wasn’t going well. But he told americans it was going well.

It's not. Biden was saying that they had a stronger army but because of a lack of PR essentially some were concerned they weren't doing as well.

Biden's exact words from his call to the president of Afghanistan.

"things are not going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban,"

WTF are you talking about? The Taliban had better PR than the Afghan military, you think that’s what the problem was?

as GS said, and stupid idiot ( except Biden) should have known it would get messy, should have known it would t go according to plan. But we had no way of dealing with that, because that’s what happens when your president is a 78 year old Alzheimer’s patient and your Pentagon leadership is too busy worrying about diversity to have time to plan for contingencies in the battlefield.

I swear you can’t get past your parties talking points, knowing getting out of a 20 year war to honor an agreement by the previous administration and your own campaign promise is likely to get messy and trying to plan for completely unforeseen circumstances (like the Afghans rolling over and everyone else giving the Talaban a free pass) is another thing. Come on Jim if you think Trump could have done better well you really are an idiot, getting out that many people with so little loss of life, takes belief and confidence in your advisors and military leaders; Trump believed he was smarter than them all. Spin my comments any way you like, war is messy, getting out of one is messier, but if you think orange man could do better, get him elected if he runs and we can watch him burn democracy down.

i was pro gay marriage 20 years ago, anti death penalty, pro gun control’. and i hated trump. want to claim again that i’m the one who can’t think for himself?

Seth Moultin is a progressive, liberal
democrat congressman from Mass who said Biden’s execution was a “F—-i g disaster and avoidable.”. is he just a fox news puppet?

just because i’m destroying you here, doesn’t mean i’m a lemming.

he also said today, that his 3.5 trillion spending bill “will ease inflationary concerns.”. Can you explain to me how federal government spending 3.5 trillion will reduce inflation? because i’ve always assumed inflation happens when there’s too much money out there.

Looks like he's found another use for some of the money spent in Afghanistan, this guy would agree
