    Yes. This did not bolster the shaky government and sent the wrong message to the Afghan military.

    No. After the withdrawal went south we caught a break that the Taliban were “pragmatic” about the situation. They didn’t even think they would be in Kabul when they were.

    And do you understand what you’re asking of the military to establish a forward open perimeter in an unsecured hostile urban environment.

    You guys just say things without any thought. Don’t get me wrong we would have established a perimeter but that would have turned into a war zone fast with that kind of exposure.

    I think the .gov crumbling in days ended up proving Trump & Ocho right. Plus from what I'm hearing, AFG leadership decided to embezzle rather than pay the security forces.

    I may need to reevaluate my opinion if I'm agreeing w/Coulter.

    On the other hand, am not a hypocrite and was never this wrong:

    In the immediate aftermath of the September 11th attacks, Coulter infamously reacted by writing, “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.”

    Ann Coulter is still an idiot. However she might actually have larger male genitalia than many of the male politicians she gripes about. I will note that after she made this statement praising the withdrawal she immediately went back to spewing her regular cringe-worthy hatred.

    Coulter is not a pro-liberty conservative. She is a Rino as is Bill Kristol.

    We should have retained Bagram Air Base as that would have allowed to keep things in check. The way it is now, the enemy/terrorists are much stronger than before 911
