"With this administration it is failure after failure after failure," Van Drew told host Trey Gowdy. "I cannot believe I'm saying this, it literally is time for this president to resign. It is time for this vice president to resign. It is time for the Senate president and Speaker to resign. We need new people, even new Democrats, hopefully that are moderates."
Biden and his predecessor blamed each other on Saturday for the collapse of Afghanistan, with Trump slamming Biden for not "following the plan" that he left and Biden accusing the former administration of signing a deal with the Taliban that left them "in the strongest position militarily since 2001."
How far have all these clowns pushed this country into crushing national debt? And that STILL is not enough money for them?

Yeah.
Finger pointing is big in Congress.
I suppose the previous administration would have done a much better job of withdrawal though. No doubt. Like bailing on the Kurds in Syria.

Did the previous admin allow Afghanistan to be taken in 1 week?
Though the former President offered his support of President Joe Biden's plans to bring home American troops, he urged his successor to draw an end to America's longest war well before the September 11 deadline that Biden set last week. Trump said that while leaving Afghanistan is "a wonderful and positive thing to do," he had set a May 1 withdrawal deadline and added that "we should keep as close to that schedule as possible."

No. But then there is this:

I am confident that following Trump's timeline would have been less disruptive.

I think Biden has at least as much clue as Trump did.
There was no easy way out. It had to happen and it was bound to be a disaster.
Trump should consider himself lucky he was voted out of office in this case.

Biden has no clue about anything. He is a complete bumbling fool.
Sure....the easy way out would have been to leave....if they can get 5K troops IN within 24 hours....they can get 5k people OUT in the same time frame.
Why are we fighting other people's wars? Does Afghanistan give us anything in return? Have they in the last 20 years?
Worthless people...absolutely worthless....

It's hard to put a couple trillion a year into black ops if you don't have Afghanistan's poppy fields.
We've been there since the 60's making sure the flow keeps going...
But now we have Fentanyl... a synthetic drug.
Which China makes a lot of.
So we don't need opium anymore.

Get as many "innocents" out and rebuild.
This isn't rocket science...it is war.
