I'm not sorry we're leaving, but yes the withdrawal appears inadequately planned. Withdrawal in the face of an enemy is always a challenging operation. Still, I have confidence our military will pull it off. As for the Afghans, well they didn't put up much of a fight so this is at least partly on them. They chose their future. We've spent enough money there.

Then there's the guy who has a short stint with being President (7mos.) whose withdrawal approach really sucked.

Then there’s this judgmental nobody under a pseudonym playing Monday morning quarterback about something he knows very little about on an internet chat board. Congrats. Your cookie is in the mail.

Do you think Nancy Pelosi was the one calling the shots on this fiasco? Possible.

“I Was Appalled” – Former CIA Analyst Blasts Joe Biden’s Speech – ‘We Sent Biden Plan After Plan on How to Evacuate These People – NOBODY LISTENED!’ (VIDEO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/202...istened-video/

..Matt Zeller said Joe Biden’s speech was full of lies.

Zeller also said that he sent the Biden Admin plan after plan on how to evacuate people from Afghanistan safely and NO ONE listened to him.

Biden lied about how many people still need to be evacuated from Afghanistan....
I do not think Biden cared how many died over his reckless actions.

This thread is about someone who had the foresight to prepare an evacuation plan that was not used. Unless you can show that his plan would have been even more disastrous than what Biden did and did not do, I'll take his foresight over Biden's hindsight.

I can pretty much guarantee that my knowledge of evacuations, logistics, and military tactics, sparse though it is, greatly exceeds what Biden ever knew, much less what little he's able to remember anymore. Our only hope would have been for him to pay attention to his advisors, but apparently that didn't happen.
