- zhza 5y agoLet's see.. The CIA funded and trained Osama Bin Laden. The US invades Afghanistan and for 20 years does nothing. The CIA is currently running hiring videos of revolutionary socialists working at the CIA. The CIA apparently did not have intelligence on how fast the Taliban would retake Kabul. There needs to be a deep house cleansing at all levels of the IC and DOD and it starts with firing Biden, Milley, Christopher Wray, William Burns and others.

- andyxor 5y agoisn't it the same story repeating over and over, such as previous withdrawals from Afghanistan, not just by the US but Soviet Union as well, and going back all the way to the Anglo-Afghan Wars. I mean, the way it was (mis-)managed tactically was a colossal failure by Biden administration but was there really another strategic solution, except for not invading Afghanistan in the first place.
- strangattractor 5y agoThere is no such thing as limited warfare. Either you fight to win or you loose. WWII ended because the enemies will to fight ended. Their choice was simple. End it or face annihilation. The Afghan president said he fled to avoid bloodshed. It can only be assumed he meant his own. I am sure his bank account is well funded with US Afghan Aid money.
