Yeah, Trump's plan was to have been withdrawn back in May. Did the Taliban force the USA to flee like rats from our embassy back in May?

Everyone expected the Afghan Army to go belly up. Biden was warned it would happen. He ignored the warning.

If President Biden thought President Trump's decision was bad, why didn't he do something different? He has had seven months to look over any plans the previous administration left. If he thought the deadline was to soon, why didn't he push it back? This whole situation reeks with incompetence.

We killed Bin Laden during Obama’s tenure, so technically this is his fault. Per your logic.

Also the goal was to stop ISIS, Al Qaeda, and other terrorist groups from being a safe haven. So goodluck on never seeing those guys come back to this failed Afghan state.

Biden undid so much of what Trump did. There is no reason Biden can't take control of this situation. I honestly think he refuses to do so because right now, he can blame Trump and his decision to leave. His partisan lemming hacks will absolutely accept and eat up that excuse. If Biden attempted to interfere with that, than he would be taking responsibility for the outcomes that occur and won't be able to hide behind Trump's withdrawal deadline.

Biden’s old boss had a few things to say about his VP

Barack Obama reportedly said: 'Don't underestimate Joe's ability to (expletive) things up'

Barack Obama reportedly spoke with a Democrat, expressing his private doubts about Joe Biden becoming the Democrat presidential nominee in 2020.

According to Politico, the former president said: "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f... things up."

Mr. Obama was also said to have spoken about his own understanding of the 2020 Democrat electorate in Iowa.

We will see just how far election fraud is going to go on Sept 14 when Gov Gavin Newsom might get the boot in heavily blue California. I don't trust it will be a fair recall as Pelosi will do whatever it takes to keep her relative in office.

I'm glad we are getting out, it just shouldn't be so haphazard....and now more troops? wth....sigh.

I was happy when I first heard the news but apparently the execution is a cluster of fudge brownies.

What does that have to do with Biden’s poor exit plan?

You think Trump would’ve evacuated the troops BEFORE the civilians then backtrack and deploy 5,000 troops to evacuate the embassy? You think trump would’ve caused a refugee crisis? You think Trump would’ve made last minute visas and begged other countries to take in Afghans?

That’s 100% on Biden. Trump has nothing to do with Biden’s plan.

Both presidents had exit plans, but Biden’s was such a horrible disaster that nothing can beat it.
