Joe Kenney decided it was time to lay all of the problems of Afghanistan at the feet of President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama. Evidently, he conveniently forgot that Presidents Bush and Trump had a hand in what has happened in Afghanistan.
Joe Kenney is right about the beginning, We did go into Afghanistan originally to get Osama bin Laden, but then President Bush decided to stay longer and make the country into a democracy.
Let the spinning and re-writing of history and the truth begin.
Nobody on either side of the political aisle believes we should have stayed in Afghanistan. So please stop with the binary argument being postured by this Administration.
The problem that a majority of Americans are having is the manner and means of this fiasco, now being hailed as a "success".
As a 23 year Veteran, I find your attempt at diverting everyone's attention away from this President's failure insulting and frankly ignorant of just how operations of this type are and should be planned or executed.
Between the Intelligence Community, the Military Command Structure, and this Administration, the operation was nothing short of a huge Charlie Foxtrot.
Yes, the men and women on the ground should be lauded and praised for their efforts. But no thanks to the Leadership above them...
