Exactly. It’s just like Benghazi. Remember when the right lost their minds over that? It was four deaths in a dangerous place. Terrible it happened, but blown way out of all sense of proportion by the right — and merely to score cheap political points

I wouldn’t be calling him a poosay and a liar. Had four years to do it.

Not during his term. A poosay AND a liar, kicking the can down the road for the next guy to handle

You could say that for every single one of the casualties of Iraq and Afghanistan. Sorry your son died when we basically accomplished nothing. Sorry your son was the last to die, or could’ve been the last to die if we’d gotten out earlier. That’s true of every single war death, ever. So, again, the answer is to not go. And who actually said that then? Oh yeah, I did. Not you, you were cheering for it. Who marched in the streets of DC against the war? I did. Not you. So don’t tell me how all those young lives were wasted. I saw it coming a mile away. Difference was I actually wanted to stop it whereas you want to use their deaths for cheap points after the fact

Not many but what’s your point? You go to war, people will die. They’ll die at the beginning of the war, the middle of the war and, yes, the end. They always do. Which is why you shouldn’t go to war. But you know who made that choice? George W Bush (you also cheered for him and that war, by the way). Not Biden. And like I’ve said a hundred times now, Obama didn’t end it, and neither did Trump (even though Trump promised to—and lied).

Not at all. Without those 13 troop deaths, this wouldn’t even be a debate. The rest is just quibbling. And the troop deaths are certainly very unfortunate. However, you have to weigh that against the 2,402 total casualties and 20,000 wounded, as well as historical precedents for withdrawing.

It was handled about as well as a bad situation could be, yes. It was a bad hand that nobody had the courage to play for 20 years, including Trump, who had promised an exit from Afghanistan under his watch but who predictably kicked the can down the road instead (as did Obama).

Strong words coming from you

It’s never pretty when you cut and run. It wasn’t in Vietnam, it wasn’t in Korea, it never has been anywhere. You are sitting ducks for potshots as you draw down and leave. It happens every time.

There is no way. Bottom line, you are cutting and running

20 years it needed to be done. Four different presidents. Biden was the one that actually stepped up to the plate. Those are just facts.

Where did I say otherwise? I’m just explaining why the calls are more directed to Israel than Hamas right now in this moment

You’re not wrong, but exaggerating as always. Take the current Israel/Palestinian conflict. The issue is that the powerful, Israel, has it within their power to stop the killing of innocents, right now. The Palestinians do not have that power. Hamas already did it and it’s over for now. So if you want the killings to stop, Israel is your only place to look right now, at this moment. Certainly there are counters, like why should Hamas get away with it? And what’s to stop Hamas from attacking again in the future? But anyway, that’s your answer

Troll? I say MAGAtards support Putin because Trump does. You say, you’re damn right I do!

Proof

Both have underperformed thus far but I have more hope of Trevor Lawrence turning it around. Dak just is what he is. So I’d say Lawrence, but of course I could be wrong!

Because Trump is in bed with Putin, and thus so are the MAGAtards. That is the answer to basically every question having to do with Russia and the Ukraine

No, it wouldn’t have, idiot. Trump didn’t start that war and neither did Biden. W did (I’m sure with your cheerleading) and when he did that, the cut and run withdrawal became inevitable at that point. Biden just had the balls to do it after everyone else (including Obama) dithered for 20 focking years

And I recognize that. When I was in HS I had a gym teacher that was basically Bobby knight Jr. Huge ahole, bullied kids, harbored grievances, etc. etc. But he got through to me, accurately assessed that I was a bit of a b1tch and never gave it my all, and appropriately dressed me down for it. I probably owe a decent amount of my success (such as it is) to him. And I was certainly not the only one. Afresh I graduated he got fired for stealing money from the school and then later convicted of sexually assaulting a disabled woman (not at the school, at least). So he definitely was a bad dude in the end, but I also know he did some good.

Yes, definitely. Not even a question unless somebody is offering you a good deal for him (unlikely)

Rumor is he’s going to be “traded” to the commanders after the season. Probably just a rumor though

He was definitely an assh0le. Couldn’t say whether he was a “bad bad man” though. Maybe, despite being an ahole, he still did more good than harm. I’m sure many of his former players etc would say so. He was much too complicated a figure for me to judge

Almost a great band name

What a stupid post. Your issue is with W, who I’m sure you championed at the time (under one of your many prior fake personas, of course)
