If that kind of talk from Ol&#8217; Joe sounds familiar, you&#8217;re not alone.<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, when he was Vice President, Biden said, \u201cWe\u2019re starting [pulling the troops out of Afghanistan] in July of 2011, and we\u2019re going to be totally out of there, come hell or high water, by 2014.&#8221; In 2012 he again pinned 2014 as the end date. Speaking in absolutes, Biden said \u201cWe are leaving in 2014, period.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well&#8230;surprise, surprise 2014 came to pass and the O&#8217;Biden-Bama Administration kept thousands of American troops there. Last year Trump negotiated a peace deal that pulled troops out of Afghanistan and set a hard date to GTFO of 1 May, but now with the old gang back in Washington, the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/03\/18\/biden-calls-kamala-president-harris-during-speech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harris Administration<\/a> is just gonna keep that war rolling.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty freaking years now. Again, for perspective, 20 years is usually the time of peace\u00a0<em>between <\/em>our wars, not the length of wars.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Jeff LPH 3 for sending in the story.
