There is no easy way to say goodbye, President Biden took too long to end the American occupation in Afghanistan.
Hm? How long did it take to take Afghanistan from al Qaeda and the Taliban? How long? A generation ago, it took three days from the parachuting in of American soldiers to ride donkeys to their destination.
THREE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bush's forever war was never authorized.
I really don't want to hear the boohoos about the USA leaving Afghanistan. Any soldier that served in that hell hole, should be pleased we are leaving to save ANOTHER ENTIRE GENERATION from failure.

DAN BONGINO: I agree with President Trump and President Biden,(click here) who both shared the same vision that our mission in Afghanistan is coming to an end. It has to come to an end. The Afghan people have to take responsibility for their own country. I fully agree with their position on that.
But this hasty departure with no concern for force protection or our forces or our people being left behind is insane. We have soldiers still out there. We have soldiers out there now watching this program tonight who lost loved ones or lost pieces of themselves and friends over this overseas....
No sympathy for Pakistan, who took millions if not billions from the USA and turned around to buy weapons from China who then built more nuclear weapons aimed at the USA. Pakistan took care of Osama bin Laden for a long time until a Democratic president finally had the guts to kill him. One block away from the Pakistan military academy and no one knew. Bulloney.
Pakistan reconstituted the Taliban and rearmed them. Over and over again there were reports of how the police of any particular area of Pakistan were unable to enforce the law due to the occupation of the Taliban.
Then there was the Haqqani Network that General Mullen brought to the attention of the Pakistan president. He did that to alert them they should do something about that. The trillions poppy culture was their stronghold. Does the Haqqani network exist today? Of course, it does.
Afghanistan is a cesspool of Muslim losers that put their ideology before the well-being of their families and country. Afghanistan cannot be conquered, the terrain alone makes that impossible.
So, Goodbye to Afghanistan, this is the second chance to be a real country. You failed.

The Taliban (click here) are claiming towns and territories across Afghanistan. With each victory, scrutiny is falling on the leaders of neighboring Pakistan.
For decades, Pakistan has served as a sanctuary for the Afghan Taliban, who have often crossed the countries’ rugged, 1,660-mile border with ease. Officials have acknowledged that Taliban fighters maintain homes and families in Pakistan, at a safe distance from the battlefields.
Now that the American military has declared its part in the Afghan war over, and the Taliban increasingly look as if they can capture the country, Washington is applying pressure on Pakistan to push for a negotiated settlement.
While voicing support for a peaceful solution globally, however, the government of Prime Minister Imran Khan has been quieter at home. It has not spoken out against pro-Taliban rallies within Pakistan. It also hasn’t condemned reported Taliban atrocities as the group marches toward Kabul....
