Biden to extend deadline on US troops' withdrawal from Afghanistan

Basically, telling the Taliban when we're leaving.

Naah, it'll be more like "white mans burden".

Only it'll be the reason for staying, though, of course, they won't call it that. They'll call it something totally PC.

Because those folk can't protect themselves--or maybe it's grow sufficient poppy--without us there holding their hands. Despite historical evidence quite to the contrary.

Guess what?

Had I been able to deploy, I might have done just that.

Tell me, have you ever seen someone die from an overdose of heroine, or other opiate?

I have. It's one of my several nightmares that come calling upon occasion.

So please understand, that that was not hyperbole, but cold hard fact. I venture to guess I wouldn't be the only one.

Trump was right.

Trump's rash judgement for his scheduled pullout date from Afghanistan, was inanely, and purposely meant to make the remaining allied forces remaining there, venerable to attack from the Taliban and ISIS; while making the Biden administration's foreign policy looking weak and ineffective.

Nope. But I’ve seen what’s left by a train when someone puts their head on the tracks.
I don’t mind if it’s hyperbolic or not, I’m just sorry you couldn’t deploy and burn the fields in kebabistan.

Give me a break. 20 friggin years there, more than 2.5 trillion dollars of tax payer money spent, and yet we're not ready to leave there as planned? What of load of BS, and it's as clear as day. We're not getting out, nope, not while the military industrial complex and elitist pawns like Biden are in.

As the May 1 deadline for the withdrawal of the United States military forces from Afghanistan looms on the horizon for President Joe Biden, the 78-year-old leader's decision on the matter has started to become clearer with his intention to postpone the process now seemingly inevitable.

Biden has inched so close to the deadline that his indecision amounts almost to a decision to put off, at least for a number of months, a pullout of the remaining 2,500 troops and continue supporting the Afghan military at the risk of a Taliban backlash.

Removing all of the troops and their equipment in the next three weeks, along with coalition partners who can't get out on their own, would be difficult logistically, as Biden himself suggested in late March.

No surprise right, but still frustrating as hell. Factories continue closing down en mass in the Mid-west, foodbanks are overflowing in the South-West, Americans are struggling, and yet the fat cats continue to get away with their war games. When will it end?

It's both sad and comical hearing the same people who criticized President Trump for setting an Afghanistan Troop withdrawal date (May 1, 2021), now praising Joe Biden for ordering all U.S. Troops out of Afghanistan before September 11th of this year.

The only leaders who seem to be consistent are the hardcore "warmongers", like Senator Lindsey Graham and new CIA Director William Burns.

They were angry at Trump in 2020, and are now angry at Biden, for wanting to save American lives.
