Why do you keep injecting Trump into a discussion about Biden and his actions? Is it because Biden has no defense and so deflection is your pis aller?

Dunno, budro. Maybe because 'Biden's actions' aren't quite what you try to inflate them to be but you try to give Trump credit for things he hasn't done and ignore what he stupidly did. Maybe those attacking Biden in such a manner while slobber-worshipping his predecessor should consider actual critical thinking instead of what they think passes for such but .... fails.

Making up dung undercuts accurate criticism.

I think the person to blame is me.

It was me who started this comparison between Biden and Trump.

I did not look at the stab in the White house, but how the Afghan people and their army have reacted.

What congress controlled by the Democratic party from when?

On September 14, 2001, Senate Joint Resolution 23 (The Authorization for Use of Military Force) passed in the Senate by roll call vote. The totals in the Senate were: 98 Ayes, 0 Nays, 2 Present/Not Voting (Senators Larry Craig, R-ID, and Jesse Helms, R-NC).

On the same day The House passed House Joint Resolution 64. The totals in the House of Representatives were 420 ayes, 1 nay and 10 not voting. The sole nay vote was by Barbara Lee, D-CA.[9] Lee was the only member of either house of Congress to vote against the bill.

So the 107th Congress (which could hardly be described as a 'controlled by the Democrat party') that decided to let Bush invade without a genuine declaration of war on a sovereign state is the example of the clash flow issue. :hmmm:

A Democrat President ended a war that Democrat Senators and Representatives voted almost unanimously to start.

Well there was that 9-11 thing that left plenty of good ol' boys wanting to kick some towel head ass.

Yep. And those good ol' boys (and girls) of both political affiliations voted to do just that.

That all senators and representatives voted for with a few exceptions in a congress that was anything but (D) dominated. That's a very big difference from the blame claim made. It was also twenty years ago at the start of the mess which is also different from the blame claim.

When I was young and my brothers and I would get into trouble we would always try to blame each other for starting it. My Mother would say ... don't worry, there's plenty of blame to go around.

Well arlo, the thing about Congress and the Senate is any one of them could have said something. I assume you voted for someone to represent you in D.C.

What did the one you voted for say or do to end this debacle. What were your expectations of your representative and did they advance your will or did they just blow you off knowing you’ll just vote them in again?

What boils down is it’s YOU and your vote which allowed this to happen.

What is the scope of that "this", the whole of Operation Enduring Freedom?

Talk about enduring....
