The exit out of Afghanistan will be Biden's greatest FUBAR.

Biden doesn't support genocide and what the IDF is doing in Gaza isn't genocide.
OTOH, those who support Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran to destroy Israel and clean the land of Jews "from the river to the sea" are, indeed, supporting genocide.
If it is the Biden Presidency you are rating, I’d predict he goes down in history as a C+ rating, somewhere in the low twenties.
Hard to argue that he did accomplish an infrastructure bill that every President since Ike attempted to get done, expanded health care, Chips Act, created more jobs than any other President in history, delivered vaccines, reinstalled America’s image on the Global scene while reconnecting with out traditional allies, and maintained a low unemployment rate throughout his Presidency
He also had shortcomings including Afghanistan withdrawal and loss of the confidence of the American people

Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan was one of the best things he did. People die in war, so don't volunteer if you fear death.
The American war in Afghanistan incurred staggering costs — for the United States, Afghans and others — over two decades. The U.S. government spent $2.3 trillion, and the war led to the deaths of 2,324 U.S. military personnel, 3,917 U.S. contractors and 1,144 allied troops.

And he was the victim of a coup by the supposed "defenders of democracy" who installed a candidate that no one voted for. Sad part is Biden will get the blame even though he was never actually in charge. I almost feel bad for Joey

Ask the families of the 13 soldiers killed at Abbey Gate if it was the best thing he did.
“A supplemental review of the original investigation into the 2021 suicide bombing attack that killed 13 U.S. service members and roughly 170 Afghan civilians at Hamid Karzai International Airport's Abbey Gate has reaffirmed the military's findings of the initial investigation and identifies the attacker.”

All just to meet the anniversary date of 911.
He looked at his watch when the bodies arrived.
2,324 US soldiers lost their lives in Afghanistan.

Time will tell, but I think he'll score better than his predecessor...which ain't sayin' much. LOL
Yes, the Afghan withdrawal was fucked-up, but his post-COVID actions will be graded in view of the rest of the world's recovery.
IMO, that will redeem him for fucking up the Kabul exit.
huh?

Yak proves he's either an idiot, a liar or both.
Feel free to scream "coup" all day long, Yak. It just makes you look demented and dishonest.
