Afganistan

Afghanistan, we can all agree we should not have been there.

That we never should have been there.

We can all agree that the withdrawal is FUBAR.  Mr. Biden has been in office almost 8 months, that is plenty of time to have planned and done it right.

It does not matter what state Mr. Trump left things in, or Mr. Obama, or Mr. Busch before them. Ultimately the current mess belongs to Mr. Biden as he is the sitting Commander & Chief.
Either he did not consult the Pentagon and his Diplomats or we as a nation no longer have the capacity to do the intelligence, ground work, and orderly withdrawal that should have happened.
 
Both are equally frightening thoughts.  Above all our nation is responsible for many innocent lives being lost.
 
Now was it a failure of intelligence and planning or was it leading by opinion polls?
