Yep. After we killed Bin, Obama/Biden were eager to fight on for another 5+ years, and pass it on to the next president.

Biden allowed the enemy to murder Americans. They did what comes naturally, Biden allowed them to do their thing. He should be immediately removed from office for the good of the country. Anyone who still supports him should be pitied for their ignorance, they are not real Americans..

I wouldn't be taking his opinion on how leaders should react seriously. He's probably just looking to score some more speaking fees.
So who is “qualified” to be taken seriously over the handling of Afghanistan?

Let’s be honest here. You don’t like his negative opinions about Biden’s handling of Afghanistan because his opinions don’t match your narrative. You ain’t fooling anybody.

Biden is paying for the leadership failures of those who came before him. Both Obama and Trump came into office wanting to get out of Afghanistan but failed to do so, probably because they were told it would look something like this. So we are now paying the price for their cowardice.
^ folks, this is known as 'blame-shifting.'

Actually, it does. Bringing up his own family experience of Beau's service during a time that our troops were killed is about as low as it gets.

Honestly? Not on the same day and in the first remarks made after a dozen US servicemen were killed.

I gave him too much credit. I won't make that mistake again.

The entire administration is tone deaf.

And that's the nicest thing I can say.

I would have been astonished had he not played the 'trump's fault!' card.
