'you mean like republican Geo. Bush sending troops into Iraq and getting innocent American troops killed for absolutely no real reason!!' Well, once again, you leave out the Democrats that have been in offce more often in recent years than the Republicans, 'uncommon1' but NOW I see where you get your name, as it's NOT uncommon for you to do that when ever you talk about current events/politics. "President barry soetoro had promised to end the war, so on Dec. 28, 2014, U.S. and NATO officials held a ceremony at their headquarters in Kabul to mark the occasion. A multinational color guard paraded around. Music played. A four-star general gave a speech and solemnly furled the green flag of the U.S.-led international force that had flown since the beginning of the conflict. In a statement, soetoro called the day “a milestone for our country” and said the United States was safer and more secure after 13 years of war. '“Thanks to the extraordinary sacrifices of our men and women in uniform, our combat mission in Afghanistan is ending and the longest war in American history is coming to a responsible conclusion,” he declared.' But for such a historical day, the military ceremony seemed strange and underwhelming. soetoro issued his statement from Hawaii while he relaxed on vacation. The event took place in a gymnasium, where several dozen people sat on folding chairs. There was little mention of the enemy, let alone an instrument of surrender. Nobody cheered. In fact, the war was nowhere near a conclusion, “responsible” or otherwise, and U.S. troops would fight and die in combat in Afghanistan for many years to come. The baldfaced claims to the contrary ranked among the most egregious deceptions and lies that U.S. leaders spread during two decades of warfare. soetoro had scaled back military operations over the previous three years, but he failed to pull the United States out of the quagmire. At the time of the ceremony, about 10,800 U.S. troops remained, a decrease of almost 90 percent from the surge of forces that he had sent to Afghanistan in his first term. soetoro promised to withdraw the rest of the troops by the end of 2016, coinciding with the end of his term in office, save for a residual force at the U.S. Embassy. soetoro had tried a similar staged approach to end the war in Iraq, where the U.S. military ceased combat operations in 2010 and exited entirely a year later. But those moves soon backfired. He needed to buy more time for U.S. forces to build up the shaky Afghan army so it would not collapse like the Iraqi forces had. He also wanted to create leverage for the government in Kabul to persuade the Taliban to negotiate an end to the conflict. To make it all work, soetoro conjured up an illusion. He and his administration unveiled a messaging campaign to make Americans think that U.S. troops still in Afghanistan would stay out of the fight, with duties that relegated them to the sidelines. For a few months, the soetoro administration’s tenuous plans seemed to hold. But as the Afghan security forces labored to hold their own against the Taliban, Americans resumed paying with their lives. Spec. John Dawson was killed and eight other American soldiers were wounded in April of 2015; In August, 1st Sgt. Andrew McKenna, a 35-year-old Green Beret on his fifth deployment to Afghanistan, was killed in a firefight when Taliban fighters attacked a Special Operations camp in Kabul. Nineteen days later, Air Force Capt. Matthew Roland, 27, and Staff Sgt. Forrest Sibley, 31, were killed in another insider attack at an Afghan police checkpoint in Helmand province; In late September, the illusion that U.S. troops were no longer serving in combat disappeared entirely. After a long siege, insurgent forces seized Kunduz, Afghanistan’s sixth biggest city, about 200 miles north of Kabul. U.S. Special Forces teams rushed to Kunduz to help the Afghan army retake the city over several days of heavy fighting. In the early-morning darkness of Oct. 3, 2015, a U.S. Air Force AC-130 gunship — with the call sign “Hammer” — repeatedly strafed a Kunduz hospital with cannon fire, killing 42 people. The hospital was run by the humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders. In an attempt to safeguard the trauma center, the group had provided U.S. and Afghan forces with the GPS coordinates of the site several days earlier, so there was no excuse for the attack. Obama and other U.S. officials apologized for the catastrophe. A U.S. military investigation subsequently blamed the “fog of war,” human error and equipment failures for what it called the “unintentional” destruction of the hospital. The Pentagon said 16 U.S. service members received administrative punishments for their role in the attack. None faced criminal charges. But instead of curtailing U.S. military operations, soetoro dug in deeper. Twelve days after the Kunduz debacle, he ordered a halt to the slow withdrawal of U.S. troops and extended their mission indefinitely to prevent the Taliban from overrunning more cities. Breaking his promise to end the war, he said at least 5,500 troops would remain in Afghanistan after he left office in January 2017. Yet to make the endless war more palatable to the public, soetoro perpetuated the fiction that U.S. troops were only bystanders in the fight. On Dec. 21, 2015 a suicide bomber carrying explosives on a motorcycle killed six U.S. Air Force security personnel on foot patrol near Bagram. Among the fatalities: Maj. Adrianna Vorderbruggen, 36, an Air Force Academy graduate who had pushed for the 2011 repeal of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” prohibition on openly gay service members. In 2016, insurgent forces overran Kunduz again, repeatedly bombed Kabul and seized control of most of Helmand province, the heart of Afghanistan’s lucrative opium-poppy belt. Instead of drawing down to 5,500 troops as planned, he ordered more U.S. forces to stay in Afghanistan. By the time he left the White House in January 2017, about 8,400 troops remained. SO, uncommon1, even your GOLDEN BOY, barry soetoro has innocent BLOOD on his hands as far as civilian casualties are concerned and OBVIOUSLY LIED to the American people about the uS troops involvement in and the Military pull out that he promised. ANd EVERYBODY KNOWS what the present Mr. potato head in the White House caused with his US military pullout from Afghanistan 'getting innocent American troops killed for absolutely no real reason!!'. Try telling both side, uncommon1, makes your arguments more plausible, unless they're out and out LIES, like the 'Jesse James jail time' story that was disproved, and the argument about Bruce Springsteen's hit song, "FIRE!"...LOL!!!! You DO TELL SOME UNCOMMON WHOPPERS!!!!!

Try telling both side, uncommon1, There isn't two sides to Geo. Bush sending troops into Iraq for weapons of mass destruction when there were none. It was a scheme thought up by chaney to get his buddies the oil fields.

"The afghan withdrawal was negotiated and signed by frump, what a loser." Once again, uncommon1 tells his HALF truths and lies to make his leftist Socialist Nazi democrats look likethe 'golden boys' of American politics and policies. The 'half truth is 'Trump DID negotiate and sign the withdraw' of American Troops in Afghanistan. And in February, 2020, Trump CLEARLY STATED "The withdrawal of U.S. troops is contingent on the “Taliban’s action against al-Qaeda and other terrorists who could threaten us,” in a speech at the Conservative Political Active Conference." In February, 2021 Biden reiterates his campaign promise to bring U.S. troops home from Afghanistan, saying during remarks at the Munich Security Conference, “My administration strongly supports the diplomatic process that’s underway and to bring an end to this war that is closing out 20 years. We remain committed to ensuring that Afghanistan never again provides a base for terrorist attacks against the United States and our partners and our interests.” And in March of that same year, "Gen. Richard Clarke, commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command, tells the Senate Armed Services Committee that “it is clear that the Taliban have not upheld what they said they would do and reduce the violence. While…they have not attacked U.S. forces, it is clear that they took a deliberate approach and increased their violence…since the peace accords were signed.” During a press conference at the White House that SAME day, Biden says “it’s going to be hard to meet the May 1 deadline. Just in terms of tactical reasons, it’s hard to get those troops out.” He assures that “if we leave, we’re going to do so in a safe and orderly way.” Without committing to a pullout date, Biden says, “it is not my intention to stay there for a long time. But the question is: How and in what circumstances do we meet that agreement that was made by President Trump to leave under a deal that looks like it’s not being able to be worked out to begin with? How is that done? But we are not staying a long time.” And on April 14th, Biden says it is “time to end the forever war,” Biden announces that all troops will be removed from Afghanistan by Sept. 11. “We will not conduct a hasty rush to the exit,” Biden says. “We’ll do it responsibly, deliberately, and safely.” Biden assures Americans that the U.S. has “trained and equipped a standing force of over 300,000 Afghan personnel” and that “they’ll continue to fight valiantly, on behalf of the Afghans, at great cost.” BUT, on May 18th, The Defense Department IG releases a report for the first three months of 2021 that says the Taliban had increased its attacks against Afghanistan government forces during this period and appears to be preparing with al-Qaeda for “large-scale offensives.” “The Taliban initiated 37 percent more attacks this quarter than during the same period in 2020,” the report said. “According to the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Taliban maintained close ties with al-Qaeda and was very likely preparing for large-scale offensives against population centers and Afghan government installations.” Then, on July 6th, the U.S. military confirms it has pulled out of Bagram Airfield, its largest airfield in the Afghanistan, as the final withdrawal nears. And on July 8th " Saying “speed is safety,” Biden moves up the timeline for full troop withdrawal to Aug. 31. Biden acknowledges the move comes as the Taliban “is at its strongest militarily since 2001.” Biden says if he went back on the agreement that Trump made, the Taliban “would have again begun to target our forces” and that “staying would have meant U.S. troops taking casualties. … Once that agreement with the Taliban had been made, staying with a bare minimum force was no longer possible.” Biden assures Americans that a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan “is not inevitable,” and denies that U.S. intelligence assessed that the Afghan government would likely collapse. Asked if he sees any parallels between the withdrawals from Vietnam Afghanistan, Biden responds, “None whatsoever. Zero. … The Taliban is not the south — the North Vietnamese army. They’re not — they’re not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy in the — of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable.” Biden adds that “the likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely.” Biden also promises to help accelerate the issuance of special visas for Afghan nationals who helped the U.S. during the war. On Aug. 6 the Taliban takes control of its first province — the capital of Nimroz province in Afghanistan — DESPITE the agreement it signed with the U.S. And on Aug.15th Taliban fighters enter the Afghanistan capital Kabul; the Afghan president flees the country; U.S. evacuates diplomats from its embassy by helicopter, and the rest IS in FACT, US HISTORY, and as was SEEN on TELEVISION throughout the world, American soldiers lives WERE LOST, Afghani people that assisted the US military in the War were NOT given VISAs as PROMISED by Mr. Potatohead in the White House, and the FINAL DAYS LOOKED VERY MUCH, OR EVEN EXACTLY LIKE THE FALL OF SAIGON, with Afghani civilians clinging to the American planes taking off from the airfields and falling to their death once the planes left the ground, and Biden DENIES any accountability for any of those actions, when he KNEW ALL ALONG they were going to HAPPEN!
