of allies are stuck in afghanistan, the administration doesn t know how many there are, i saw earlier on tv the national security advisor came out and said we will have a plan, the secretary of state, we will have a plan to get those people to the airport which means they re still trying to formulate a plan. how deep into this are we? and we re months into the administration. howie: it s heart-breaking. so we ve all agreed that biden is the commander in chief, this happened on his watch, it s on him right now. but some of the people from the trump administration are doing distancing, former national security advisor hr mcmaster says that his administration trump s administration negligence other yatesed a vein negotiated a surrender agreement,. a victory has a thousand fathers and defeat is an orphan. this was a long process of missing opportunities at every step, maybe the original conception of doing anything in
negotiators are the taliban, says trump. as you heard there, he mentioned this is going to go on for a very long time. he very much wants to make this an issue for next year s midterms and going into 2024 as well. of course, donie, trump is leaving out the fact it was his administration that cut this deal with the taliban that he almost invited the taliban. he did invite the taliban to camp david but pulled back that invitation and then his own secretary of state cut a deal with the taliban later described as a surrender agreement by the former national security adviser, h.r. mcmaster. so trump right there playing revisionist history and trying to wash his hands of what s happening. of course, he can t do that. donie o sullivan, we appreciate that report. great work as always. as covid cases surge in florida and texas, the republican governors of those states are touting an antibody treatment called regeneron rather than promoting prevention measures that are a lot cheaper like mas
praising the taliban. let s watch. all he had to do was leave the soldiers there until everything is out. our citizens. our weapons. then bomb the hell out of the bases. we have five bases. and you say bye-bye. taliban, great negotiators. tough fighters. great negotiators. top officials in trump s administration are calling the former president out for making a deal with the taliban in 2020. here s trump s former national security adviser h.r. mcmaster. our secretary of state signed a surrender agreement to the taliban. you are talking about mike pompeo? yes. this collapse goes back to the capitulation agreement of 2020. the taliban didn t defeat us. we defeated ourselves. what s worse is we threw the afghans under the bus on our way out. of course, here are the images from 2020 of then secretary of state mike pompeo and the man now leading the taliban after the trump administration helped release him from prison.
