The problem is that Trump's deal set expectations for the Taliban and very likely limited our options. I would guess that the Taliban conditioned our "peaceful" exit on getting out by the agreed upon deadline. So if we blew the deadline maybe the Taliban would start attacking US positions in Afghanistan. Of course we vastly outgun them, so we could "dictate the terms on the ground" if it came to it, but how many more bodies do we want to send home? I could easily see the situation descending into quagmire once again. If the goal is to leave the conflict, then allowing the conflict to intensify is not the right move.I think one can only come to this conclusion that this is Biden's fault. If you want to blame Trump for Dec 2016 to Jan 2021 then its only fair to say that Biden alone is responsible for this.
Further one of Trump's failings is his 'get out of jail' card here.... Trump may have brokered some 'deal' but since he did nothing after that then how is it his fault?
Exactly, it's the opposite of the goal, essentially creating a new conflict.Of course we vastly outgun them, so we could "dictate the terms on the ground" if it came to it, but how many more bodies do we want to send home? I could easily see the situation descending into quagmire once again. If the goal is to leave the conflict, then allowing the conflict to intensify is not the right move.
Or sarcasm?These aren't intelligent people.
Doubtful. Just another right-wing sack of **** trying to dunk on Biden and falling flat on their face.Or sarcasm?
Does he?Doubtful. Just another right-wing sack of **** trying to dunk on Biden and falling flat on their face.
People really ought to go after him with that which is reasonable. He bears much of the blame for this cluster****. Instead they end up clowning themselves.

Your previous post consisted of this:
"Does he? China..."
Do you not get how vague this is? Be more specific and I can give a detailed response.
Please stop telling people to read your edits. Instead, maybe copy your edits into the posts in which you'd normally say this. People don't get alerts to your edits and it isn't apparent to which posts said edits have been applied. I know I'm not the only one who would like you to end this practice.Read my edit, god forbid I double post.
Yes, Biden, as chief executive, whose duty it is to see that laws and policies, foreign and domestic, are executed, is ultimately responsible when the execution of policy results in the death of 13 American servicemembers and many more Afghani civilians. It's my understanding that he even owns this responsibility.You:

I said does he...
Nawww. Damn, I should just DP, people don't always respond instantly.People don't get alerts to your edits and it isn't apparent to which posts said edits have been applied.
With Americans left behind to probably face death. Good job Biden, pulling the troops first.The war is over. For better and worse.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken pledged the Biden administration, with the backing of its international allies, would continue reaching out to those Americans left and help them when they decide to leave.
"If an American in Afghanistan tells us they want to stay for now, and in a week or a month or a year they reach out and say. 'I’ve changed my mind,’ we will help them leave," he said in a televised address Monday evening only hours after the last U.S. military plane took off from Kabul, officially ending the country's longest war.
Blinken said fewer than 200 Americans remain in Afghanistan and the actual number is "likely closer to 100."
I'm seeing reports of somewhere between 100 and 200 Americans (including permanent residents) that were unable (or unwilling) to get to the Kabul airport for a verity of reasons, including, it looks like, being attacked on their way. From what is being said, the US government is still working to get them out.With Americans left behind to probably face death. Good job Biden, pulling the troops first.
If you tag somebody in your edit then they'll get notified.Nawww. Damn, I should just DP, people don't always respond instantly.
And yes you did answer my question, now...
It's my understanding that they will not and this was the rationale behind eliminating the previous 5-minute edit window before a post is marked as having been edited.If you tag somebody in your edit then they'll get notified.
That's some good news. In other news.I'm seeing reports of somewhere between 100 and 200 Americans (including permanent residents) that were unable (or unwilling) to get to the Kabul airport for a verity of reasons, including, it looks like, being attacked on their way.

I assume you agree with the image. Which president would you like to take the blame for that and why?That's some good news. In other news.
Indeed I did not get that notification.
That's a lie, and you've fallen for right-wing propaganda.
The guy is a Taliban operative trying to apparently, change a flag. He's seen waving later on in another video.
Could've said that more politely. /s If I knew that was the case I would've gone.That's a lie, and you've fallen for right-wing propaganda.
