    It was a little over 100 and anytime they wish to leave the United States will help them get out. They chose to stay.

    Just asking, and I'm asking because you seem to have very specific knowledge and understanding of this whole Afghanistan thing, and the 20-year travesty our country has been engaged in: What might have been your response to 9-11? Who would you have gone after....if anyone?

    Not Iraq

    You go and kill Osama and you get out of there. It should have never been about a futile attempt to save Afghanistan. It should have been taking out the person responsible to show the world you don't fuck with the US and getting out.

    That travel alert hasn't changed since the British colonized it and it splintered off from India...

    This was always going to happen when we pulled out. Of course they're going to do terrible things. It makes us look bad, and we've committed to pulling out so there is nothing we can do.

    It's a big reason Trump didn't pull us out sooner, and probably would have delayed it another 4 years if he would have won.

    Going in and staying was dumb. Once we got there, ignoring the fact that we would eventually pull out was dumber.

    This is on every president from Dubya on. Obviously including both Trump and Biden.

    It's disappointing but also funny to see the war correspondents for all the networks so pissed off that they won't have an important job anymore.
