Biden 'failed' in Afghanistan withdrawal plan, is 'pathetic' for blaming Trump
The former secretary of state blamed President Biden for the Taliban's resurgence in Afghanistan Ronn Blitzer Mike Pompeo calls out Biden for 'pathetic blame shifting' on Afghanistan Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo argues President Biden should be less focused on trying to blame the problem in Afghanistan on the Trump administration and should focus on 'making sure that we protect and defend American security.' Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the Biden administration has "failed" in its withdrawal from Afghanistan as the Taliban is poised to retake control of the country and the U.S. is ending its nearly 20-year military presence there. Pompeo also pushed back against President Biden's claim that he inherited a bad situation from his predecessor, former President Donald Trump. "It looks like the Biden administration has just failed in its execution of its own plan," Pompeo told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace. The Taliban, the Islamic extremist group that the U.S. had removed from power following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, due to their harboring of mastermind Usama bin Laden, has taken over large portions of Afghanistan, and Sunday morning was poised to take the capital city of Kabul. Meanwhile, the U.S. is evacuating its embassy. American forces are scheduled to complete their withdrawal by the end of August, but Pompeo said the administration should not just allow the Taliban to take over. "We should put pressure on them, we should inflict costs and pain on them," Pompeo said. The former secretary said the Taliban becoming "aggressive" and "fearless" is the latest result of the Biden administration not putting effective deterrence measures in place. MCCARTHY SLAMS BIDEN'S AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL AS 'EMBARRASSMENT TO OUR NATION' "We've had Iranian rockets land in Israel, we've handed a pipeline back to the Russians, we've allowed the Chinese to castigate our senior leadership in Anchorage, now we're allowing the Taliban to run free and wild all around Afghanistan," he said. Biden has blamed the Trump administration for making a deal with the Taliban that led to the withdrawal. In 2019, Trump criticized the ongoing U.S. presence in Afghanistan, claiming that American forces had been serving as "policemen" for 19 years and should not be doing so anymore. "If the risks weren't so serious, Chris, it would be pathetic," Pompeo said about Biden blaming the Trump administration. Pompeo added that the U.S. reduced their forces in Afghanistan under Trump, but the Taliban did not rise up they way they are now. Pompeo said that while Trump had planned on pulling out of Afghanistan, he would not have allowed the Taliban to take over. He said the deal the Trump administration reached with the Taliban called for "a conditions-based withdrawal" and allowed the U.S. to take action if necessary. "We made abundantly clear that if they did not live up to that piece of paper ... we weren't going to allow them to just walk away from any deal that they struck, we were going to go crush them," Pompeo said. Biden earlier this week said he does not regret his timeframe for withdrawal from Afghanistan, arguing Americans have already suffered too much injury and death in the country and Afghans have "got to fight for themselves." ------------------------- The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED. -BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is. -They are both card carrying narcissists. ^These are PROVED facts. |

Trump made the deal with the Taliban and set a withdrawal date.
Is that a correct statement? Is Pompeo saying they planned on escalation? If so, Trump is a liar. ------------------------- I was right. |

Yet another Dementia Joe disaster. You kind of expect a disaster anytime Dementia Joe does anything, don't you? If your goal is to bring America down, however, he has been outstanding.

In an attempt to cleanse itself, the GOP removed this page from their website.
Brush the fact that T'rump began this downward spiral last year with his half-assed negotiating skills. On February 2, 2020, the Trump Administration signed a preliminary peace agreement with the Taliban that sets the stage to end America's longest war. Under the agreement, the U.S. will withdraw nearly 5,000 troops from the country in 135 days in exchange for a Taliban agreement to not allow Afghanistan to be used for transnational terrorism. Time Magazine reported that other components of the agreement included an agreement that U.S. counterterrorism forces stay in the country, permissions for the CIA to operate in Taliban-held areas, and details of how the Taliban's promises to reduce violence will be monitored and verified. The deal has been called the " best chance to end this conflict ," a " decisive move " towards peace, and " the best path " for the United States. The war in Afghanistan is the longest in U.S. history, a conflict that has killed more than 3,500 U.S. and NATO troops and cost U.S. taxpayers nearly 900 billion dollars. As part of the peace agreement, the Taliban and the Afghan government recently began historic peace, talks which would end decades of war that Afghanistan has consumed. The negotiations will cover the terms of a " permanent ceasefire, the rights of women and minorities, and the disarmament of the country's many militia groups ." https://web.archive.org/web/20...o-the-middle-east-rsr/ |

"The events we are seeing now are sadly the proof that no amount of American military force would ever deliver a stable, united, secure Afghanistan.
What is happening now could just as easily have happened five years ago - or fifteen years in the future." jb ------------------------- So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off. |
