Afghanistan:

Grade F: USA departure, failing grade exit. So poorly done .. from a Saigon debacle to a 1979 Tehran event ( hostages ) .. Biden -> Carter

Hard to think of a worse situation than 1979 Tehran ..

Unique example of self-defeat.

Our cost was very low in Afghanistan, only 2.5% of defense budget .. Afghanistan bore the brunt of the costs .. Crisis of confidence based based on a lack of moral will.

Consequences .. severe damage to USA ..

Joe Biden "we have to do what we did in Vietnam" .. Joe Biden wanted to exit Afghanistan over 10 years ago.

You can create with a relatively small force and a diplomatic framework a stable situation that reduces the threat to the ( all )

Abandoning Vietnam had a cost ..

an impression of impotence ..

In the video Pres. Bush stated that "..... America has stood down enemies before and we will do so this time."

Not to detract from the tragedy of 9/11, the lives lost, the families and lives changed forever and not to minimize its impact in any way, but I must say this:

America is now facing a larger, likely more devastating threat to its freedoms, liberties and its very existence as a democracy in the future......and that threat is the current Administration. :blankstare:
