I ask that same question over and over. Biden owns this botched evacuation.....Period. The agreement the previous administration made majorly contributed to this debacle.
Wrong. Biden had the FINAL SAY. Period.
Quote:
President Biden’s decision to remove all U.S. troops from Afghanistan ran counter to the recommendations of his top military commanders, who feared it could undermine security in the country.
Gen. Frank McKenzie, the commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East, Gen. Austin “Scott” Miller, who leads NATO forces in Afghanistan, and Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, all recommended retaining the current force of 2,500 troops while stepping up diplomacy to try to cement a peace agreement, U.S. officials say.
The hilarious thing about these posts is that if it were former guy doing this you'd all be praising him.
Wrong.
Trump faced the most bashing and scrutiny out of any president in history. Perhaps you forgot he was impeached twice.
Biden was simply trying to steal credit for “bringing the troops home” and it blew up in his face. It’s too late to run back and blame Trump now, maybe next time he’ll listen to his generals.
Yet you voted for someone (Trump) who certainly isn't any less callous a human being than is Biden.
President Trump has come out and stated that he would have gotten all the American civilians out first. Of course, it’s easy to say that when you’re not in charge. But, I believe him. He couldn’t have done it any worse than President Biden.

I imagine part of that leftist plan to withdraw from Afghanistan was also a distraction to take attention away from the disaster which is our southern border. Now, one disaster will hi-light the other disaster even more.

Bingo. Which adds into the covid disaster and eviction ban disaster.
At the end of the day, Biden can’t blame Trump or the Afghan government, because the generals warned him not to do it.
They scheduled vacations, because they had no clue it was coming.
What else is Biden not seeing?
Biden probably has the code written on his hand in marker not to forget what it is , hope he doesn’t use it to practice a dry run , enemies will love shaking hands with him to get a glimpse of the code

Ha, so Biden actually gets the code, they told former guy there was no code so he wouldn't screw it up... guess it worked.
2. Trump's agreement was made in February 2020. Biden literally campaigned saying he was the one to put your faith in to get it done and he had 14 months to make plans for that deadline. Then he extended giving himself more months.
3. Biden removed foreign contractors which crippled and grounded the Afghan air force.
4. Biden killed off the crisis response team, which was a dunce move to do before the withdrawal.
5. Biden Ignored our biggest ally's prime minister who called repeatedly for 36 hours, because he was on vacay and too busy with naps and ice cream snacks.
6. Biden has repeatedly fed the country inaccurate information, too much to easily count. Is he lying? Senile? Kept out of the loop?
7. Biden had in July said that the withdrawal was all his. Shifting the praise to him for getting it done away from Trump when he thought it would go well.
8. Kamala bragged that she played a key role in making decisions on the withdrawal, also before it went south.
9. Biden has generally avoided open forums where press can ask him pointed questions on his failures with this.
10. Tried to go back on vacay, until public opinion put a stop to it.
11. Woke General Milley is reportedly very frustrated with Biden.
12. He has not encouraged confidence, certainly not with the British parliament that held him in contempt.
13. His administration was going to charge each American evacuated $2,000 a head so a family of 5 would get charged $10K and Afghans nothing. Not a good look. Public opinion put a stop to it.
14. China and Russia are watching Biden closely.
Trump hasn't been president for 7 months and Biden literally campaigned on getting this specific withdrawal done.
Orange man bad, (D) good.
All vague claims with little substance, he only delayed the evacuation to August and the contractors are still there, who do you think we are evacuating. Why weren't the Taliban forced to meet with the Afghans before they signed the peace agreement.
