February of 2020. Was originally supposed to happen by May 1. So why did they stay?
And yes, they were fooling themselves if they thought this was going to be a simple hand-over of power.
The Taliban have been regaining control over sections of Afghanistan since Obama was still president. Our hand-pickedstoogesguys in Kabul weren't even sending food and water to the Afghan Army we bought and paid for.
Remember that movie the South Park creators made, the one with the marionettes? At the beginning of the movie, Team America was congratulating itself for saving France from terrorists. They left behind a Paris that was completely wrecked from end to end. Destroying the village in order to save it is our modus operandi .
It was supposed to be satire but that's how the US operates IRL. You can't bomb a place into "democracy" for 20 years, fail at it, and then just walk out the door.
Anybody who thought otherwise was, yes, deluding themselves.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
