That’s a serious amount of army equipment in the hands of the Taliban. No wonder they were dancing to ‘Only fools and horses’ music with all that stuff they now have Soon to be sold on the black market to any terrorist or bad guy then smuggled into Europe?

How long has Trump not been president now? As has been said already Biden scrapped everything Trump planned. Trumps not been president for 9 months-although he thinks he still is, Bidens been in for 7 months, so do you think all that stuff came sine Biden arrived and not in Trumps 4 years? Biden didn"t scrap everything-the withdrawal from Afghan was Trumps baby, he did the deal with the taliban, Biden got flak from him for not moving faster!

Trump kicked the can down the road because exiting was always bound to be a complete disaster, primarily because we shouldn't have been there in the first place and secondly because leaving would result in the country returning to its formal tribal nature and taliban rule. Either way veterans and the families or those who never came back are right to say what was the f***ing point.

Biden didn"t scrap everything-the withdrawal from Afghan was Trumps baby, he did the deal with the taliban, Biden got flak from him for not moving faster! The facts show that's just not true. Trump's deal with the Taliban was for an exit in May. Since Biden has come in he's done little but reverse all of Trump policies.....yet you seem to believe that leaving Afghanistan was a policy he couldn't reverse? Why the hell not?...the US only had 2,500 troops there. One of the first things Biden did on taking office was to pushback the withdrawn to to August with the intention of having all troops out by September 11th. In doing this he broke....and knowingly broke Trump's agreement with the Taliban. They started fighting again when in Trump's agreement bombing would restart at that point. You are making excuses for Biden.....who ignored his military and cut and run in the most incompetent fashion available to him.....he has left a giant mess.

At least CP has put his head up above the parapet

Something I e never heard before, although probably did before Blair got into bed with Bush over Iraq. I just can’t remember, a bit like Biden.

At least CP has put his head up above the parapet Thanks Spider, I know Biden has handled the withdrawal badly, and you are correct about how people would react if Trump was in charge. Thats exactly my point, in reverse, if Trump was in charge, lots on the right, would be saying it"s what the Americans want and he is just doing what he was voted in for, looking after his own country first. This is the usual practice on here, maybe in life, you just stick with your side, but usually can deemed a hypocrite if you flip it, me included!

Before a press conference I’m waiting for Biden to forget to put his teeth in or put his disposable pants on so he saturates his trousers and the floor around him.
