I agree. Biden made a tough call that led to a lot of very high emotional reactions, but rationally speaking, the fact he ended a multi decade, multi trillion dollar engagement with no win scenarios will be seen as a very big positive in the long term.
He would get better coverage if he had at least evacuated our own people first instead of leaving them behind enemy lines. There is no putting lipstick on this pig. Biden’s team screwed up, big time.

Correct. He had absolutely no plan. A third-grader could have solved the following logic problem:
There are bad guys in a foreign country, and our military has kept them from doing bad things. We want to remove our military, but we have thousands of Americans there. What should we do?
1) Rescue the Americans first and then take out the military, or....
2) Take out the military, leave Americans unprotected from the bad guys, and then try to rescue them.

It’s so obvious it boggles my mind how ANYONE can defend this. I just don’t understand some people. I guess it’s hard in this day and age to admit the person you elected handled something poorly, but this is beyond just handling something poorly. It’s impeachable. The man needs to be forced out of office for this debacle.

There are more than a few here on these very pages that have shown that they can not pass this question correctly.
I'd settle for sheer common sense.
Which is lacking in some posts I see.
It was discussed and determined MONTHS ago that this tactic to withdrawal forces was to proceed.
Doesn't take an Einstein to get your ducks in a row and skedaddle out of dodge. Yet here we are after the embassy notified those on US visa's to consider exiting. Yet they sat ...and sat.
We blindsided NO one. It was announced.
Suddenly humanitarian concerns are in the hearts of the Leaning Right? Please stop feigning concern. Just stop.
Will say that giving the heads up though on the withdrawal only sent the Taliban into recon Mode. They also had time to plot the days' event. That part wasn't too wise of the USA.
Lipstick on a pig...
"Even many of Mr. Biden’s allies who believe he made the right decision to finally exit a war that the United States could not win and that was no longer in its national interest concede he made a series of major mistakes in executing the withdrawal."
Great article exposes Biden’s long history of dishonesty and total incompetence. The democrats were well aware of all this and voted for him anyway..
Evidently, Puppet Joe Biden is counting on socialist propaganda in the news and forums to continue promoting lies and sanitizing situations/events in their endeavor to provide liberals with a glowing aura of competence.
Liberals only have lies, projection, and deflection to offer. No competence, no concrete plan or leadership.
Liberal activists studiously ignore anything that does not promote their agenda. Moronic liberal websites that were so toxic and venomous about "evil, misogynistic" conservatives now completely ignore the Democratic-created crises in Afghanistan and our southern border. They are hypocrites.
If Joe Biden had been such an excellent candidate, he would have been president when he was a younger man. They knew he was terrible and that they'd have to stuff the ballots to win. Shame on Jill Biden and everyone who put Joe Biden into the White House.
OK, here's what happened.
The way Afghan departure was organized showed everyone in the world one thing:
If you were our paid for "ally" - you are on your own now. That refers, in this particular case, to Afghan militaries, which were paid for forces (well, some of them, as most of the $36B got split among those in Afghan power and kickbacks).
Now, EVERY paid for US ally in the world "got the memo". You are next.
Result: Merkel is on her way to Moscow. In case US pulls out of East Europe. Got to have back up plan.

Excellent post.
Except how dare you denigrate third graders by comparing them to Biden.
