RELEASED FROM AFGHAN PRISONS BY TRUMP, THEY HELPED THE FALL OF AFGHANISTAN
Under Trump-- "Feb. 29, 2020 — U.S. and Taliban sign an agreement that sets the terms for a U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan by May 1, 2021, but do not release two classified annexes that set the conditions for U.S. withdrawal. At the time of the agreement, the U.S. had about 13,000 troops in Afghanistan, according to a Department of Defense inspector general report.
The pact includes the release of 5,000 Taliban fighters who have been held prisoners by the Afghanistan government, which is not a party to the agreement.
March 10, 2020 — Under pressure from [Trump] the U.S., Ghani orders the release of 1,500 Taliban prisoners, but at the rate of 100 per day.
May 19, 2020 — In releasing its quarterly report on Afghanistan, the DOD inspector general’s office says the U.S. cut troop levels in Afghanistan by more than 4,000, even though “the Taliban escalated violence further after signing the agreement.”
Sept. 3, 2020 — Afghanistan releases the final 400 Taliban prisoners, as required under the U.S.-Taliban agreement, clearing the way for intra-Afghan peace talks to begin.
Nov. 17, 2020 — Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller formally announces that the U.S. [Trump] will reduce U.S. forces in Afghanistan to 2,500 by Jan. 15, 2021.
Jan. 15 — “Today, U.S. force levels in Afghanistan have reached 2,500,” Miller, the acting defense secretary, says in a statement. “[T]his drawdown brings U.S. forces in the country to their lowest levels since 2001.”
Afghanistan’s First Vice President Amrullah Saleh tells the BBC that the Trump administration made too many concessions to the Taliban. “I am telling [the United States] as a friend and as an ally that trusting the Taliban without putting in a verification mechanism is going to be a fatal mistake,” Saleh says, adding that Afghanistan leaders warned the U.S. that “violence will spike” as the 5,000 Taliban prisoners were released. “Violence has spiked,” he added."
Does johnny really think five prisoners released from Gitmo by Obama can begin to compare to the thousands of fighters released by Trump inside Afghanistan? If just five prisoners released from Gitmo are so dangerous, imagine what johnforbes actually thinks of the thousands released by Trump.
Why does johnforbes leave out these little details that show that Trump was the one who made the agreements and withdrew most of our troops from Afghanistan and released the most prisoners? Is he ashamed of those facts but simply lacks the balls to admit it? <---(Rhetorical question, as always. We already know the answer. That's why it is so easy for johnny to pass as a woman in his drag persona. There is nothing he needs to tuck inside his panties.)
