    There's been a lot of talk about the "stunning fall of Kabul," as a CNN correspondent just put it. But look at what @rohded said on @Maddow back in April.pic.twitter.com/cNmxdAlR86

        Anybody with any experience in Vietnam or Cambodia could have told you by the end of 2001 how this was going to end. And in most cases...they've been saying it repeatedly for nearly two full decades.

        20 years, more than $2 trillion and over 3000 American’s soldier's death. How could we be pretending we should stay much longer. We may stay there 100 years, if the people of Afghanistan are not ready to embrace freedom for themselves, we can’t actually do anything about it.

        I agree with you--I just think the agreement that Trump signed forcing the way this was done was short sighted. It could have been done better & it would have been if Trump hadn't been in office when all of this was negotiated.

        American immigration system is racist to the core. It only favors white European countries.
