File it under, Same old shit from the hypocrites(R)

 

On Afghanistan, G.O.P. Assails the Pullout It Had Supported Under Trump

Eager to denounce President Biden, some Republicans have flip-flopped on bringing U.S. troops home — making it difficult to discern what they actually believe.

WASHINGTON — Early last year, Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the House minority leader, praised former President Donald J. Trump’s deal to pull American troops out of Afghanistan as “a positive step.” As secretary of state, Mike Pompeo helped negotiate that agreement with the Taliban. Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri pressed last November for a withdrawal as soon as possible.

Now, the three are among dozens of prominent Republicans who, with President Biden seeing the pullout through, have sharply reversed themselves — assailing Mr. Biden even as he keeps a promise that Mr. Trump had made, and carries out a policy to which they had given their full-throated support.

Like I said, same old shit from the hypocrites(R), who act like withdrawing from a 20 year war would be EASY, without casualties and multiple problems. Part of the reason Dotard reneged on his promises and kicked the can to ‘the next guy’, who did what 75% of the country supported.

And surprise!, the Pubs just sit back and bitch. Nothing new here, as Dotard is among the worst.

No Republican has turned faster on the Afghanistan withdrawal than Mr. Trump himself, who after years of espousing a return to isolationism has spent the last two weeks attacking Mr. Biden for carrying out the very withdrawal he had demanded and then negotiated.

Same old shit, as they(R) act like they could have done it better, but DIDN’T, for the last five years.
