That is really sick and twisted dude, why did you decide that you had to be the self appointed apologist (sin eater) of the Biden administration?

Sick because the correlation is false or because it challenges your imagined perception of Biden/Democrats/Liberals et al (and kinda rubs it in your face)? :shucks:

Arlo you have no idea who I am, you always rush to extreme stereotypes.

You and your alter ego seem to have the need to argue with everyone who is frustrated at the situation and thus they turn their frustration on you. Enjoy all that negative energy, that is what sin eaters use to do.

A sin-eater is a person who consumes a ritual meal in order to spiritually take on the sins of a deceased person. The food was believed to absorb the sins of a recently dead person, thus absolving the soul of the person. Sin-eaters, as a consequence, carried the sins of all people whose sins they had eaten.

He's not a sin-eater. He's just a useful-idiot moron.

Not a particularly stinging barb, considering its from you. Ah, your quick edit attempting to equate me to Trump is kinda curious. :shucks:

Mostly because several people here have expressed the fantasy that if Trump was president the Afghanistan withdrawal would have been as organized and simple as lining up to enter a ballpark. All that is just a made up story based on wishful thinking and no more accurate than me stating it would have been ten times worse if Trump was in charge.

Was it a perfect withdrawel? No, it wasn't, but saying how it should have been done now that it has been done any fool can spout.

As far as being sick and twisted that's just your opinion and my point was made. Why do you value the US soldiers lives over US citizens lives?

The only different between Trump and Biden is the time of withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Had Trump won the election, the troops and ambassador+crew had left end April/May.

If there had been chaos at the airport if Trump had been in charge ? Very likely.
Remember it's not who's the President but the mentality of the Afghan people. They want to escape their country and they want to do so whether it's in April/May or Aug.

By what formula of logic did you arrive at that conclusion?

By your reasoning US soldiers aren't US citizens?

US soldiers lives have no value?

I guess it all makes sense if you are a SS Doctor in a concentration camp or a scientist of Unit 731.

Trump said that was the date but it doesn't mean it would have happened that way.

I'm looking forward to all of the alternate reality books that are bound to come to print explaining how if Trump had successfully destroyed democracy in the United States the world would have been so much better (we would have won the surrender in Afghanistan, Covid would have naturally ended, everyone would have turned Caucasian and grabbing pussy would have become America's pass time).

Read it again. I didn't say any of that and there you go making up stories based on nothing but conjecture.

mapuc 08-31-21 09:38 AM

What I tried to say was that it would have been chaos at the airport. Whoever is the President. And there's no doubt about it.
