No Regrets Biden on Afghanistan - Afghanistan/Biden Era

White House: Statement by President Biden on Afghanistan, " When I came to office, I inherited a deal cut by my predecessor—which he invited the Taliban to discuss at Camp David on the eve of 9/11 of 2019—that left the Taliban in the strongest position militarily since 2001 and imposed a May 1, 2021 deadline on U.S. Forces. Shortly before he left office, he also drew U.S. Forces down to a bare minimum of 2,500. Therefore, when I became President, I faced a choice—follow through on the deal, with a brief extension to get our Forces and our allies’ Forces out safely, or ramp up our presence and send more American troops to fight once again in another country’s civil conflict. I was the fourth President to preside over an American troop presence in Afghanistan—two Republicans, two Democrats. I would not, and will not, pass this war onto a fifth.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is pathetic from a man who considers himself an expert on foreign policy, he is NOW blaming Trump for this mess in Afghanistan.  It is no wonder that Biden has not shown his face, is he in the Witness Protection Programme.  Thank goodness the UK has the Queen as a head of State, and she is in her 90's and still turns up for work.  Those Baltic States, Poland, and  other members of NATO will be asking, can they trust the US now, will Biden support them if Putin makes a move in the Baltics or even Poland.  Those in Iraq must be thinking, if Daesh come back, will Biden run away again, as the Obama Administration did.  This is the worst foreign policy mess since Vietnam in 1975 and it is Biden's FAULT.
