Please stop! This is so out-of-character for someone I have so much respect for, I can't wrap my brain around it. The people who admire you the most are flummoxed by these immoral pro-intervention statements. I'm speechless.

20 years of resources and countless lives lost, for what?? We should have been out of there after we destroyed the al Qaeda training camps!

I thought most of us foresaw it but decided we had to leave or stay forever, and most chose the former. Tell us how you would have averted this and still left or say you wanted to stay I don't like Biden but this awful Band-aid had to be ripped off. It really sucks

Correct!
