Furthermore, you’re constantly bitching about slanted news stories and misleading headlines. Funny how you titled this thread ‘Biden’s Victory Speech’ when he never used the word ‘victory’.

Thing is, he wasn’t talking about the war in general. He was talking specifically about the evacuation. And, in fairness, evacuating over a hundred thousand people in a few weeks (the largest airlift in American military history) and getting them all out in time for the deadline, that does sound like something of a success to me, even if virtually everything else about the war was doomed from the start. Indeed war is hell and the fact anyone got out of that killing field is a thing we should all be happy about

So, where exactly is the parodic element? This isn't a rhetorical question, by the way; I legitimately can't see where the parody is supposed to lie in the OP.

Why didn't I hear about the civil and respectful manner the Taliban treated the deal of evacuation?
I mean they stopped the ISIS terrorists and Saudi/Trump agents from ruining Biden's retreat.
That's the real victory: showing the whole world who the "real terrorists" were.

The Taliban assisted in the retreat because they need to demonstrate that they can actually run things. This will lead to foreign investment, which will provide money, which will enable the Taliban to mount further terrorist operations.

Because they need to appear legitimate
Quote:I mean they stopped the ISIS terrorists and Saudi/Trump agents from ruining Biden's retreat.
They only help because it was convenient for them

Nope, the Taliban are and always will be a band of murderous thugs.
