At this point you just have to laugh at neocon Liz Cheney

Congresswoman Liz Cheney spent the weekend blaming both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump for the tragic chaos that continues to unfold in Afghanistan.

Cheney tweeted on Saturday:

The Trump/Biden calamity unfolding in Afghanistan began with the Trump administration negotiating with terrorists and pretending they were partners for peace, and is ending with American surrender as Biden abandons the country to our terrorist enemies. https://t.co/PQ1i5W6zZt

Trump “negotiating with terrorists” is obviously a shot at the former president meeting with Taliban leaders to agree to a plan for a conditions-based U.S. withdrawal. Biden, who did not attempt to meet with Taliban leaders, is now enduring the worst aftermath imaginable, post-withdrawal.

But never mind Trump or Biden. No matter who is president, the withdrawal was always going to be messy. Cheney and other like-minded “warmongering fools” knew this and it has been their strongest argument to stay forever. Cheney’s fellow forever war cheerleader, Sen. Lindsey Graham, was even calling for permanent American military bases in Afghanistan a decade ago.

There was never a good solution to ending the U.S.’s twenty year overstay in Afghanistan.

But if your last name is “Cheney,” you really should not be talking about it much, according to Twitter:

Have you not met George W. Bush or Dick Cheney?

If I were a Cheney I would sit this one out. Like, really out.

A little selective memory thing going on here?

How exactly did we get into this 20 years ago, and how did we think it would end?

I see you’ve conveniently forgotten your dad’s huge role in how this nightmare began. Don’t worry. We haven’t.

It would never occur to Liz Cheney that if making any attempt to extract the US from a 20-year-long conflict is necessarily “calamitous,” then maybe the true “calamity” was the mission itself https://t.co/xY9pzMDtEg

I could go on, but it would almost literally mean reposting a significant percentage of Twitter over the weekend.

Given their long record of disastrous foreign policy decisions – including the current chaos in Afghanistan – Liz Cheney and the neoconservatives have forfeited their ability to have a credible opinion on American foreign policy ever again. Even if they haven’t figure this out yet.
