Kamala blames Trump for her disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal

[jotathought]

The folks in the Afghan Army were dying as Trump was skedaddling. So were Afghanis in the Government as well as the Afghanis Citizens as their country descended in to chaos in 2020 as Donnie Dangerously pulled most all of our troops out.

Do you not realize that troops were replaced with contractors? Where's your data? .. show us instead of reading your Young Turks or ABC narrative.

The number of private military contractors operating in Afghanistan has dropped precipitously in recent months – the first specifics in an otherwise secretive withdrawal process and the surest sign yet that the Biden administration, unlike its predecessors, does not appear to be retaining any on-the-ground military support for its local allies after it leaves.

New documents prepared for Congress by the Defense Department show the total number of all kinds of contractors in Afghanistan has dropped by more than half in the last three months from almost 17,000 as of April to only 7,800 this month, with fewer than 2,700 Americans among them. The cuts are especially acute for private security contractors and for logisticians and mechanics, including the critical staff necessary to keep Afghanistan's fledgling air force aloft. The Biden administration increasingly touts that force as one of the last remaining advantages the U.S.-backed local military has over the Taliban.

The number of military contractors increased up to 25K - 30K (with some fluctuations). WTF are you talking about? This included private security firms, logistical support companies, and other specialized contractors.

Seriously .. Biden and Harris fucked up ... your 'Kamala' word salads aren't answering the questions.

They negotiated an extension of the truce with the Taliban, who gladly accepted.

Hahahaha Of course the world's most powerful military could have mounted a redeployment to fix all the problem Trump created by not enforcing the conditions of his conditional withdrawal. In fact I recall in the testimony to the House that he was advised that they could take back Kabul with 10 to 15 thousand troops and only suffer 500 to 1000 casualties. Wouldn't that be lovely to add more Gold Star families to the nearly 2,500 members added to that tragic club from the failed Nation building exercise in Afghanistan. The rest of Afghanistan would cost more but, Joe Biden as CIC could have ordered it. Can you imagine the whining from the Neo-GOP if President Biden had done that?

I'm done conversing with you on this... you are wrong... I and others have shown you are wrong... you are crossing into trolling on the subject now...
Trump wasn't in office it was all on Harris and Biden....
Over its over... you can never change that fact...

You're asking me for claims after all the made-up "information" you've provided and continually proven wrong?

You didn't prove anything.

I don't need to .. it's what happened. Contractors doubled or nearly doubled deployed troops.
