So, Trump's idea was a smashing success. Gotcha.

1. It wasn't Trump's idea. He just made the deal.

2. It was not a success. It was never going to be a success.

I continue to be impressed with the way Afghanistan is unfolding. What's important to note here is that we are OUT. No more billions per day being spent there funding terrorists in a creepy shell-game. But WAIT, there's MORE! The Taliban is kindler and gentler. They are actively assisting the U.S. in getting people out. Sure there are women's rights issues, but it's not that much different than any other Islamic country. Definitely nothing worth keeping troops there over, especially considering the GOP doesn't seem to care about women's rights here either. So nothing to see there.

I'd give Biden an A+ just on having the balls to pull out of Afghanistan alone. By far the best thing he has done as President so far. Amazing to see how the right is so brainwashed into believing otherwise. Absolutely Twilight Zone going on with that.
