"Watch the effin video! It's right there!" -HtS
Your angry and illogical outbursts are more evidence of your dementia.
I am not denying that Sen. Sullivan said what he says in that video clip, I am saying he misquoted Biden. Biden did NOT say "none of his military advisors said that he should keep US forces in Afghanistan" as Sullivan claimed. Biden said the opposite.
Biden told Stephanopoulos that the generals were "split". It shouldn't be a surprise that military people would tend to think the military can be solution to every problem. Even if a majority of the generals wanted to stay, that shouldn't have been the determining factor in how Biden made his decision.
For the record, the media, including the "liberal media" are at fault here too. They often times have personal and emotional connections with the Afghans which clouds their judgment and reporting. For reasons of their own, many would have delayed withdrawal from Afghanistan. They may even be responsible in telling their Afghan contacts to "stay put" in Afghanistan.
