ARTICLE: Trump calls Afghanistan withdrawal 'a wonderful and positive thing to do' and criticizes Biden's timeline
"Former President Donald Trump on Sunday praised withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan, while knocking his successor's timeline for doing so.
Though the former President offered his support of President Joe Biden's plans to bring home American troops, he urged his successor to draw an end to America's longest war well before the September 11 deadline that Biden set last week.
Trump said that while leaving Afghanistan is "a wonderful and positive thing to do," he had set a May 1 withdrawal deadline and added that "we should keep as close to that schedule as possible."
"I wish Joe Biden wouldn't use September 11 as the date to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan, for two reasons. First, we can and should get out earlier. Nineteen years is enough, in fact, far too much and way too long," Trump said,...
....Afghan President Ashraf Ghani told CNN's Fareed Zakaria in an exclusive interview on "GPS" on Sunday that he supports Biden's decision to pull US troops out of the country, saying the move "radically changes" the context of the situation in the country, the region and the Islamic world. He added that his "entire energy" is now focused on working in that new context."

Why do you think we've staying in Afghanistan so long?
I've already agreed that Trump may be legitimately questioned and criticized for not withdrawing our people from Afghanistan during his tenure. But everything about the actual evacuation that is now taking place is on Biden's shoulders.
At the beginning of the speech, I sensed a bit of fear in the eyes and in the body language of both Harris and Blinken.
Kamala looked terrified. You could tell she was reading the teleprompter too to see if he made a mistake. When he got confused, she definitely reacted.
I love it when Festus and Doc argue...oh sorry...did the President of Delaware say anything relating to the present day that even resembled reality? I ask cause didn't he say once he was in office in the 1840's or thereabouts?
"Hey, if you can't get to the airport just give us call". See, Joe is on top of everything, he just forgot to post his phone number
