The White House's messaging on Afghanistan is working, new polling shows. The most effective line for Biden: “The U.S. has been in Afghanistan for 20 years, that is far too long, regardless of the impact we should leave now.”

The C|T Group, an international consulting firm, sent one-sentence arguments to people in the United States, Britain and Australia, both in favor of and against President’s pullout decision. They found that pro-withdrawal lines drove more people to support leaving Afghanistan, whereas statements that backed remaining in the country weren’t as convincing.

The most effective line for Biden was this one: “The U.S. has been in Afghanistan for 20 years, that is far too long, regardless of the impact we should leave now.” Six other summations of the administration’s arguments — such as how the United States couldn’t keep spending money to prop up an ineffective Afghan state — also resonated with the American, British and Australian respondents.

“Our data shows that the Biden administration, the messaging it’s doing, is reaching an audience and is making an impact,” saidBut critics of the withdrawal are also landing blows. Arguments that Biden should’ve kept U.S. troops to protect Afghans from Taliban rule and that America’s withdrawal didn’t have to be so sudden drove opposition to the pullout. However, the vast majority of prolong-the-fight takes didn’t stick or were, at best, only marginally persuasive.

Those figures bely Biden’s argument that “America is back” internationally, and that key allies believe it. Floyd said the Afghanistan withdrawal decision, made without real input from U.S. partners, contributed to this growing notion of American decline. “If I was in the Biden administration, I would be concerned about perceptions of the U.S. being willing to stay the course overseas,” he told NatSec Daily.Blinken began his two days of Afghanistan hearings with a session in front of the House Foreign Affairs Committee this afternoon. The hearing is still ongoing, and we'll have more to say about it tomorrow, but a few bits are worth noting.

So it is Trump’s idea to leave when they are criticized but Biden’s idea when the speak positive? Wow.

now 333,331,343 million Americans cant sleep at night.

The straight truth, no sugar coating, that's how we like it.

Afghana-who? .. Nobody gives a shit about Afghanistan.

Does Politico buy kneepads in bulk?

Sociopaths. Is winning the 'messaging' the most important thing to you and POTUS , while getting so many Americans and Afghans killed, while ditching a NATO operation ?

BS partisan reframing of the issue. It's never been about the withdrawal, but the nonsensical way it was carried out, pulling troops before civilians, ignoring Congress notification in lowering troops beyond the threshold to keep the 2 airstrip, better defensible, Bagram airfield

They are hunting American's put down your pencil and watch Kaotic

Good.

Reality: Trump said - ...20 years, that is far too long” all conservatives clapping and praise him. Biden said - ...20 years, that's is far too long” conservatives screams at him.

Sends 60 million In aid while people in the US are homeless and starving nice

Sun Tzu said:If you know yourself but not the enemy,for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat USA knows itself but not Muslim world,Radical Islam enemy.Running away will booster RI believe that terrorism works.USAsupport Muslim leaders,knowing Islam fighting back RI

No malarkey

The corrupt media plays a big role on how to manipulate a political narrative. You heard about George Floyd for months, but only heard about the 13 US soldiers killed in Afghanistan for just a minute. Sad reality!

Blinken pushes back on GOP criticism of Afghan withdrawalWASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Antony Blinken pushed back Monday against harsh Republican criticism of the handling of the military withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying the Biden administration inherited a deal with the Taliban to end the war, but no plan for carrying it out. Did we f*ck up the Afghan withdrawal plan? I thought this was always the plan? And that every contingency was in place? These are the words of both SecBlinken and POTUS multiiple times but now it appears to no longer be the case. Inept or intentional. It is one or the other, fellas. They clearly didn’t adhere to it, but 46 didn’t want to dare push back …

FBI releases first 9/11 document after Biden order - CNNThe Federal Bureau of Investigation released the first document related to its investigation of the 9/11 attacks on the United States and suspected Saudi government support for the hijackers, following an executive order by President Joe Biden, CNN reported late on Saturday. There are still some questions which remain about the controversy of the Saudi involvement and how President Bush seemed to brush over the queries that the Saudi family was somehow involved with the terror attacks. These were never answered. Let’s not forget that John P O’Neil tried to WARN the FBI. They ignored him!
