Everyone watching the news? Biden has ordered air strikes on ISIS-K and vowed that the U.S. will hunt them down and make them pay. Going off a CNN report just now.

Maybe Biden is trolling A-Mike? Looks like he got a reaction.
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.

More than 101,000 people have been evacuated in just two weeks. That's a marvel in and of itself. Biden has really stepped up to the challenge and performed. Five days to go and there are only about 500 American civilians still in Afghanistan.
You're absolutely hilarious sometimes. Biden just armed the Taliban with about $300 billion worth of military equipment. Biden is weak in every way imaginable and he's made America weak as well. I just can't believe his handlers were stupid enough to let him do this. Even Obama knew better than to leave Afghanistan.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

The president told reporters at the White House that he expects the Taliban, a militant group the US went to war with in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qa'ida, to pick up the fight against ISIS and other terrorist organizations.

"They will be killing terrorists. They will be killing some very bad people. They will keep that fight going," he said.

"We've destroyed in Syria and Iraq, 100% of the ISIS caliphate, 100%," the president continued. "We have thousands of prisoners. We've killed ISIS fighters by the thousands and likewise in Afghanistan. But, now it's time for somebody else to do that work. And that'll be the Taliban."

USA Today pole has Biden at 41% approval rating. Tell ya the truth, that's not bad for a man who has Sundowners syndrome.

Only complete fool could spin the facts in such a malicious way. You're just using this tragedy as a way to take focus off of Biden's record economic growth and his superior handling of the pandemic. Seriously, nothing Biden does, or any Demicrat for that matter, will be spun in a way to justify your fake outrage.

You praise Obama for staying in Afghanistan, but Trump promised several times to get everyone out but in four years he never gave any indication he was serious about:

1. Removing all US troops
2. Evacuating Americans
3. Evacuating Afghan allies
4. Collecting all the weapons we've been dumping on them over twenty years.

And you don't seem to understand the Taliban isn't Al Quaida and they aren't ISIS. The Taliban negotiated peace with us during Trump. Of all the hysteria in the media about the Taliban going to kidnap or kill Americans, we've seen nothing but the exact opposite happening. The Taliban has also been providing security around the airport all week and yesterday they were providing food and water to those waiting in line.

$300 billion in arms seems like a right wing exaggeration, but nothing left in Afghanistan could pose a threat to the USA. Forbes said the total we've spent on training and weapons since 2001 comes to about $83 billion. We didn't leave any ships, war planes, tanks or anti-aircraft guns. You're just looking for anything to whine about so you let Ben Shapiro tell you how you're supposed to feel about all this. Don't credit Biden for anything but if Trump were President and acted the same way, you'd be singing a different tune.

DAMN DUDE! Anytime someone criticizes Biden the first thing you start doing is talking about Trump. Maybe you should switch to boxers, I don't think your balls have dropped yet. Briefs probably aren't helping your "situation"
