Republican Congressman Mike Gallagher called the U.S. execution of the withdrawal from Afghanistan a "fiasco," adding "the chaos and incompetence of this was not inevitable." He also criticized the president, saying to suggest otherwise and blame Afghan allies is unacceptable and "shameful".

the NEW’S isen’t HELPING
They are doing their best to help China Joe
David J is going to completely ignore this.
Hi David J
@Lee: Huh? I’m no reactionary, blindly loyal, partisan hack.
@Reason
I believe it’s more than being a totally loyal hack. I believe he suffers from double think. I am going to paste the definition just in case David J See’s this.
Doublethink is a process of indoctrination whereby the subject is expected to simultaneously accept two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in contravention to one’s own memories or sense of reality.[1] Doublethink is related to, but differs from, hypocrisy.
Why is twitter and FB allowing Taiban to be on social media?
Also, they are sugar coating Biden.
Its time we finally journal the truth. Its not political…. people, it needs to be facts.
We withdrew without getting our guns, machinery and people out.
Who runs a country without doing that?
Biden needs to stop blaming previous administration or the Afghanistan people.
DISGUSTING
Don’t blame Evel Knievel when the people that built the ramp..botched the job and it collapsed
We withdrew and left the weapons because we thought we had given the Afghani people a military to defend themselves with.
When the French left Congo, they took everything with them. This is considered to have been a cruel and vicious action.
@Delirium Tremens Im saying…not everything is the previous administration. Our president needs to start to take responsibility of this botched job. If you have immediate family that was and currently in the military Regardless…
Of political stance, you would understand.
Even my liberal nephew who is having to go back says it eas a botched way…. plain a d simple
C’mon man! FB, Twitter are nothing but a buncha lefties, of course they will try to defend the Airhead in Chief !! Only there is no defense, none!
Biden blames the previous administration for all his screw ups!
The predominant takeaway from the “Afghanistan Papers” would be to hold as suspect any public statements from US Intel, the Military, the Pentagon, the State Department, and or the president in regards to US Interventions
Clickbait. Get serious MSNBC. Why not interview Heather Cox Richardson?
So ANDREA AND MSNBC AND EX WHATEVER….are DOING FOX BIDDING
That’s why Biden appointed Lloyd Austin who was on the board of directors at Raytheon.
Biden administration wants another endless war for the military industrial complex
They always do.
mitchell manages to get a trump dig in- typical
I have an idea! How about next time, we extract all the civilians and diplomats FIRST, then our troops? Or is that a bad idea?
That wouldn’t of worked
the main issue was that as soon as we started moving out the afghan army would lose all capacity to fight
which is what happened
In retro, The Afghan army, as a whole, was only combat capable when combined with United States
Hey Gallagher. You can blame trump for that.
Maybe. It doesn’t matter. No one in America will care about this 3 months from now. We’ll be worrying about some other problem that doesn’t matter even though it is disastrous, because disasters upon America no longer matter, and that we can’t do anything about because of self-imposed and self-defeating dysfunction.
The Day Pompeo Reached Agreement With Taliban
Is The Day Civilian Evacs Should Have Started
It’s one of those rare moments that Republicans can actually show their face on MSNBC because they can actually make a valid argument for once.
Spoken like a pure lefty.
@Sarah Jones Don’t take my word for it just have look at your heroes lining up to get some airtime on MSNBC.
“Just out of curiosity do any of you intend to include the Afghan Army/Government for running away like cowards when discussing this fiasco?”
Media and politicians: No I don’t think I will.
This guy best !!!
Where is Kamala? Is she still VP?
I concur. From today forward, Afghanistan shall be known as Talibanistan.
As for Gen. Mark Milley.
He should have Tendered his resignation after the Trump Church PhotoOp.
Be Retired seeking Solace for his actions & inactions.
