They need you to think that the real horror is a messy exit rather than the hundreds of thousands of lives lost and two trillion dollars spent to make war profiteers billions and rebuild the Taliban.

Hot take alert! 🔥🔥🙄
A mess beginning to end. Going in was a mistake and staying 20 years was a bigger mistake. Despite the sloppy exit, it was at least the right thing to do. Everyone knew the execution would be awful. All I can add is that the exit would have undoubtedly been worse under Trump.
The exit was more ghastly proof of the inhumane intentions of our govt. We will screw you the moment we don't need you.

@RalphNader @RobertKennedyJr @ggreenwald @mtaibbi @peterdaou What did any of us gain from this war but a trillion dollars in debt and thousands of victims? It is the wealthy ruling class in the US #plutocracy that practiced #colonialism and #imperialism

There was no easy way out convict the people who brought you this mess.

I think its not the "messy exit." I think @krystalball is 100% right.
