no, biden did
Biden seems to have honored the deal Trump made. Unless the Taliban reneged is some way it looks like they have a deal.

The establishment in the USA seems to be helping the Taliban.

From the link below:

"Shortly after the scenes from the runway emerged, footage showed Afghans clamouring onto the side of the USAFC-17 and clinging on to its undercarriage as it struggled down the tarmac.

Subsequent footage also showed people falling from the sky.

Online reports indicate at least 12 people were seen holding onto the landing gear as the plane took off. It appears most of those were young men.

The US officials spoke on condition of anonymity “because they were not authorised to publicly discuss ongoing operations”.

They said it was “heartbreaking” to see what was happening in Kabul but that President Biden “stands by” his decision."

Biden didn't care about those people that died. Why do you think he cares about you? Biden has a deal with the Taliban. Helping the Taliban is more important to Biden than those people that died. They were expendable.

Hey k. Still think they are doing good?

Your last post is EXACTLY why you have ZERO credibility here.
You seem to forget DELIBERATELY that Trump started this whole fiasco when he THOUGHT he was actually negotiating with the Taliban.
Trump is such a weakling when it came to foreign policy, all he could THINK about was how big is our military and how much does it cost.
THAT is the sum total of the strategic ability of Trump.
So when they had that so called meeting, the Taliban KNEW all they had to do was lay back and wait because your ASSSHOLE POTUS did not know even a LITTLE bit what he was doing.
So now we reap the rewards of that stupid ploy of Trump.
And OF COURSE to cover up that truly stupid move by Trump, you put the blame on Biden.

Nope. You need to prove it, not troll.
Your trolling is why you have no credibility on here. They all know you cannot debate.

You are now denying Trump met with the now POTUS of Afghanistan 18 months ago or thereabouts through his licking dog Pompeo?
Pompeo is such a bombastic ASSSHOLE so arrogant he thinks whatever he says is gold.
Which is the furthest thing from the truth.
He is just as much as assshole as Trump but in a different way.

But hey, repubs LOVE to pick out assswipes like Pompeo and Trump and real losers like Jim Jordan.

Where do you FIND these idiots anyway?

You are still trolling and not proving a damn thing. Pick up your guitar or something. You need a better hobby than this. At least you are a competent guitar player. Blow the dust off of her and give her some attention. You will feel better.

So Pompeo did not meet with the now Afghan POTUS some year and a half ago speaking on behalf of Trump?

You really love distraction and ignoring the argument.

Why didn't Trump make the best huge deal with terrorists to withdraw troops before the election?

You mean POA? LOL!

From the link below:

Security experts in Kabul said the move could be a result of talks launched by the U.S. special representative Zalmay Khalilzad with the Taliban. Earlier this month Khalilzad met Taliban leaders in Qatar in an effort to find a way to end the 17-year-old war in Afghanistan.

"The Taliban’s co-founder and former second-in-command, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, was released after high-level negotiations, three senior Taliban members told Reuters, speaking on the condition of anonymity. Mullah Abdul Samad Sani, another senior Taliban commander, was also released."

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-afghanistan-pakistan-taliban-idUSKCN1MZ1YV

Trump made a deal with the Taliban.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51692546

So Zalmay Khalilzad did not meet with Pakistan to get the #2 Taliban leader released speaking on behalf of Trump?

Pompeo is blaming the chaos in Afghanistan all on Biden but all he had to do was set the troop withdrawal date for a few months earlier and he could have done it himself. Maybe he wanted credit for making the deal but no accountability for the inevitable outcome.

who made biden pull the troops out first? who made biden shut down bagram air base? who made biden shut down Trump program designed to help Americans trapped in other countries ? Why does the US not rescue its citizens like France and the UK are?

Its all biden, even his advisers told him not to do it like this.

There is more going on here than just a biden fuk up.

It's only a couple months. Trump's team should have and could have but didn't want to. Why?
