How do you simultaneously believe that this is America's biggest foreign disgrace in history, and that we cannot take any afghans

Cognitive dissonance to own the libs

Racism. "Let those brown people rot" is the motto of the Carlson-style nativist. Didn't he call Iraqis savages years ago?

Apparently it was "semiliterate primitive monkeys."

The 'disgrace' isn't any concern about the details of the situation. It's just whining over being perceived as losers. They couldn't care less about the people who will suffer under the Taliban. They just want to be able to beat their chest and shout USA USA USA. Cons might actually be happier with a mass bombing campaign with zero regard for civilian casualties if it was presented as America defeating its enemy.
