@TorstenProchnow @benshapiro One observation. Regardless of who was at fault, Biden was in charge at the time of the exit. He changed the timeline once, so could he have not made sure it was a safe and orderly exit? Just asking.

Exactly. The timeline for the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal under the Biden-Harris administration is as follows: 1. Trump Administration's Agreement: In February 2020, under President Donald Trump, the U.S. signed an agreement with the Taliban in Doha, Qatar, setting a timeline for the withdrawal of U.S. troops with the goal of ending the war. The agreement stipulated that U.S. troops would withdraw by May 1, 2021, provided the Taliban met certain conditions, including severing ties with terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda. 2. Transition to Biden Administration: After losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden, Trump handed over the responsibility for the withdrawal to the incoming Biden administration, which took office in January 2021. Biden then faced the decision of whether to adhere to Trump’s agreement with the Taliban or adjust the timeline. He chose to proceed with the withdrawal. 3. Biden Administration's Execution: In April 2021, Biden announced that the U.S. would move forward with the withdrawal but extended the deadline to September 11, 2021, later adjusted to August 31, 2021. The Biden administration then planned, prepared, and executed the withdrawal during the summer of 2021—long after Trump had left office. The process was widely and rightfully criticized for its chaotic execution, particularly the events at Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport, where thousands of Afghans and foreign nationals scrambled to leave the country as the Taliban rapidly took control—this all happened under Biden and Harris’s watch and responsibility. 4. Disastrous Withdrawal: The withdrawal culminated in a chaotic and tragic series of events, including the bombing at the Abbey Gate of Kabul airport on August 26, 2021, which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members and scores of Afghan civilians—again, under Biden’s and Harris’s command. Harris even boasted about being the "last in the room" that night. The rapid fall of Kabul and the Taliban's return to power raised serious questions about the execution of the withdrawal and the intelligence assessments leading up to it under Biden’s and Harris’s watch. So, the withdrawal was planned, orchestrated, and executed by the Biden-Harris administration, with both Biden and Harris overseeing the process that led to the chaotic and deadly final exit.

You bragged that you were the "last person in the room" on Joe Biden's Afghanistan debacle. Which means you are responsible for 13 dead American soldiers. Your boss checked his watch as their bodies came home. You disgraced America by getting those soldiers murdered through your cowardice and incompetence. Spare me your crocodile tears over the president who actually went to pay them homage.
