H.R. McMaster, a retired lieutenant general and President Trump’s former national security adviser, told CBS News the Trump administration is handing the Taliban a victory by withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, calling the plan “abhorrent.”

Said McMaster: “If the Taliban establishes control of large parts of Afghanistan, gives safe haven and support base to terrorist organizations who want to commit mass murder against us on the scale of 9/11, we will be far less safe and vulnerable to these groups. And I think what happened is the prioritization of withdrawal over our interests led to us actually empowering the Taliban.”

a seditious traitor beginning day 1 of his 4-year nightmare. He will set up a scenario as described here, and he does not care who or whether Americans die. And the GOP, McConnell still has his lips glued to trumps ass. I just feel in my bones that Joe and Kamala has got this. No matter what the whiny little child does
