The media has had no choice in the matter. Not real news sources, that is. On the other hand, FUX News Channel was created to slant the news toward Repubs, twist it and lie about it to do so.
Meanwhile, mainstream media will always propose false equivalencies and "Bothsiderism" in order to denigrate consistent Dem economic expansion and growth while elevating consistent Repub economic gross under performance, Crashes and disasters and thereby aid the election of Repubs over Dems because bad news on that issue attracts more eyes and ears to their corporate employers' product.

However, the greatest movie of that year was not nominated for a Best Picture or Best Director Oscar and, coincidentally, is more pertinent to today's American Politics than ever; John Ford's masterpiece western, THE SEARCHERS.

Under the original conditions that the Trump administration negotiated with the Taliban, U.S. forces would have withdrawn from Afghanistan in May. President Joe Biden extended that exit until August.

But if the Taliban didn't control much of the country when the trump negotiations were over, how come they do now? One reason is that the former guy didn't negotiate for the Taliban to remain in place until our withdrawal. WTF? Trump didn't negotiate that?
So the upshot is that trump's useless negotiating skills let the Taliban take over the entire country without having to fire a shot (relatively speaking). What kind of lame negotiator allows that?
By the way, do you have a source for your "Now 10,000 to 15,000 Americans will lose their lives" statement?

There are numerous Muslim countries for these Afghans to live in. There is no reason to force these Afghans to live in an oppressive racist country like the USA, per BLM. Give them a flight to Mecca and let Saudi Arabia pay for their welfare bennies and Section 8 housing. Think the Saudis can afford a little charity for the Afghan pilgrims to Mecca? As a bonus, US citizens don't have to worry about these "refugees" flying an airliner into a skyscraper, which is what started this whole mess. The "Invade the World; Invite the World" strategy of George W. Bush is a disaster for the average American.

I understand that for people who have volunteered to twist their brains into believing liars and cheerleaders from the likes of FOX or OANN, this is a hard concept to grasp. But the fact remains. Dealing with Taliban was cheered on by all Trumpies out there while the Red Menace was in office. Unilateral withdrawals, base closings, leaving caches of weapons for advancing Taliban, all was good.

Let me make it simple: non-citizens who freely chose to work for the US in Afghanistan, at good rates of pay, are not entitled to permanent residency and lifetime welfare for themselves (and their extended families via chain migration) in the USA.
That has nothing whatsoever to do with LEOs or firefighters being killed. Only someone with their head in the communist clouds could write such nonsense. Stop insulting good Americans doing tough jobs you would never do by comparing them with third world shithole welfare flunkies.

Posts: 1680A few thoughts
Two roast beef sandwiches and a piece of pie, four deviled eggs (all homemade), and two cartons of milk. Home ownership, strong unions, stat ay home wives, flourishing GI bill, mind blowing golden age of cimena, and that was the 50's, Ike. We also saw the inauguration of Civil Rights in highly courageous films like Giant, iconic and immortal. Look it up. The era was so good that it took a pale flunkie, Nixon with awful TV debate performances to thwart an essential third term by a hair, something that is most hard to do.
Afghanistan? Well, there's a principle few politicians understand. If you have an angry pitt bull by the ears, don't let go. It will be a black mark on the Biden legacy that conservatives will harp on to try and get back in power. There's already been positives. More positives and negatives are to come. Opponents will minimize or dismiss the former, while howling about that latter. That's politics.
That said hopefully we call all agree that two roast beef sandwiches, deviled eggs, pegan pie and fresh milk sound very good, and all for a hard working man. Wink.
