I voted for Biden, but I must admit, I equate his Afghanistan withdrawal disaster with Carter's handing of the Iraq hostage crisis, definitely a blackeye for the U.S. internationally. Welcome back BTW. Looking forward to more lively debate
Biden had a choice between leaving US troops there indefinitely and pulling out. Neither choice was particularly palatable. I'm CERTAIN that had he made the choice to stay, and US troops were dying in combat while trying to prop up the Afghan army, the various conservative punditards--and people like Stalker--would be screaming just as loud and long about that choice as they are about the choice he actually made now.
