Pulling Our Troops From Afghanistan - Demand for Transparency

Bsd


Written by Paul Fried 

Regardless of what you think of President Biden and his ability to lead, there are a number of people involved in making decisions such as pulling our troops out of Afghanistan. I cannot believe that our leaders are so incompetent that they would do this knowing that they are creating a terrorist country. Knowing that they are putting Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East and our only allie at risk. I cannot believe our leaders would turn this country over to a known terrorist group who has a history of murdering homosexuals and demeaning and degrading women. There is something very wrong here. Make no mistake about it there was a deal made behind the scenes. This is not what America stands for. We must demand transparency from our leaders. I don't care what side of the isle you sit, this not who we are as a country.
