Your the one wanting to discuss hurting babies.
Do they allow you to own guns in New Jersey?

No. You have to be a drug dealer in a crime ridden city.

Maybe you should stick to not being able to defend your baby in your own home, not pumping the gas into your own vehicle and watching BLM league “sporting” events. Stay out of the voting booth and discussions. Let the evil right wingers do what needs to be done in this country and quit your bitching.

I’m sorry I said I’d light your baby on fire that was sort of mean I guess.

He laid the groundwork for the Taliban takeover. Now he’s blaming Biden.

"Two years ago, Pompeo began pushing for a deal with the Taliban. Hawks urged him to stipulate in the agreement that the Taliban had to turn over al-Qaida operatives. They also asked him to reject any demand for a “premature release of Taliban prisoners.” He did neither. Under the deal, signed on Feb. 29, 2020, the U.S. government pledged “to withdraw from Afghanistan all military forces of the United States, its allies, and Coalition partners … within fourteen (14) months.” The deal also specified that the Afghan government would release 5,000 prisoners, five times as many as the Taliban had to release. There was no requirement to hand over al-Qaida operatives."

"American forces immediately began to vacate bases and pull out. But the Taliban, contrary to its commitments, escalated its attacks. Pompeo responded by making excuses. “We have seen the senior Taliban leadership working diligently to reduce violence from previous levels,” he asserted on March 5, 2020. “We still have confidence that the Taliban leadership is working to deliver on its commitments.” He argued that critics were making too much of the latest attacks, since violence in Afghanistan was “common.”

"When Fox News reporter Pete Hegseth asked whether Pompeo was willing to let Kabul fall—“We’re not going to intervene ultimately two, three years from now, if the Afghan government can’t defend itself?”—Pompeo replied, “That’s right.” Three weeks after his deal with the Taliban, he threatened to pull all U.S. forces from Afghanistan and to choke off U.S. aid—which would have brought the country to its knees—if to the government didn’t move faster in talks with the Taliban. He also repeatedly pressed for the release of jailed Taliban fighters.
The troop reductions continued, even as the Taliban carried out dozens of attacks per day. On July 1, 2020, the Department of Defense reported that al-Qaida “routinely supports and works with low-level Taliban members” and “assists local Taliban in some attacks.” This matched a separate report from United Nations Security Council investigators. Some of the evidence, later published by the Washington Post, indicated that throughout this period, Taliban leaders had collaborated militarily with al-Qaida partners and had pledged not to betray them. When Pompeo was asked about the DOD report, he claimed to have secret evidence that the Taliban was working against al-Qaida. “I can’t talk about the things that I have seen,” he said."

I wouldn’t want to be waiting to get out of Afghanistan now
We were spending $42 billion a year and the place was no more a Democracy than when we went in 20 years ago. We were getting Americans and Afghanis killed to fatten the bank accounts of defense contractors(who turned around and contributed to Congressmen and Presidents to keep the war going. Our tax dollars at work). And the country in the region we contribute to the most, Pakistan, was sending in fighters from their tribal regions to kill Americans and Afghanis because Pakistan wants to dominate Afghanistan and make sure its Pashtun majority has the power. We were never going to install a freedom loving government and build a nation in our own image. At some point if there isn't the political will to eliminate the Taliban we have to cut our losses and leave.
