“The Trump administration in February 2020 negotiated a withdrawal agreement with the Taliban that excluded the Afghan government, freed 5,000 imprisoned Taliban soldiers and set a date certain of May 1, 2021, for the final withdrawal.”
Sept. 18, 2020 — At a press conference, Trump says, “We’re dealing very well with the Taliban. They’re very tough, they’re very smart, they’re very sharp. But, you know, it’s been 19 years, and even they are tired of fighting, in all fairness.”
I looked back at Ramirez’s toons in Feb 2020 and Sep 2020. Zip. Nada. Nothing about the Taliban or the “deal.”
Yeah, Biden gets some blame for being stuck with and holding to, Trump’s “deal.” But Trump’s plan? Up his butt with his health plan, I guess.
Where was the right wing outrage when Trump made a unilateral “deal” that did not include the Afghan government with a bunch of murderous thugs far, far worse than the Iranian mullahs? There was nothing from the right. But oh, Obama made an internationally approved deal with the Iranians and he was the devil himself. Righties are such hypocrites.
And don’t blame Biden for the military store left behind. Military bean counters decided it was more expensive to move stuff out and put it in inventory somewhere else than to replace it (thereby making congress critters with defense industries in their area happy.) New toys are always better than old ones, right?
