    Default Trump instructed me to arrange a conditions-based, methodical exit plan...

    Trump instructed me to arrange a conditions-based, methodical exit plan that would preserve the national interest. The plan ended up being fairly simple: The Afghan government and the Taliban were both told they would face the full force of the US military if they caused any harm to Americans or American interests in Afghanistan.

    Next, both parties would negotiate to create an interim-joint government, and both sides had to repudiate al Qaeda. Lastly, a small special-operations force would be stationed in the country to take direct action against any terrorist threats that arose. When all those conditions were met — along with other cascading conditions — then a withdrawal could, and did, begin.

    We successfully executed this plan until Jan. 20, 2021. During this interval — when there were no US casualties in Afghanistan — President Ashraf Ghani and the Taliban conducted multiple rounds of negotiations, and al Qaeda was sidelined. The result was a successful drawdown of US forces in Afghanistan to 2,500, the lowest count since the dawn of the War on Terror.

    We handed our entire plan to the incoming Biden administration during the lengthy transition. The new team simply wasn’t interested.

    Everything changed when the new commander in chief declared that US forces would leave Afghanistan by Sept. 11, 2021, pushing back the Trump administration’s timetable by four months. Crucially, he didn’t condition the withdrawal on continued adherence to the agreed-upon stipulations. It would be an unconditional pullout with an arbitrary date based on pure symbolism — and set in stone.

    People are still there, if not dead or enslaved.

    About 5x more people from the UK are there, Biden and co didn't warn them in time.

    It's a bad thing.

    just withdrawing at the start of the fighting season instead of the end would have made all the difference.

    Was Biden supposed to drop by and tell them? Over 130 '000 people escaped in the evacuation. Did Biden drop by their homes with an invitation? They knew. Everybody else knew. But you accept that these people did not. Of course, you do.

    Biden is a fuck up. Dems cant run foreign policy.
    Obama did the Bergdahl trade for high value terrorist ( now in Taliban government)
    as well as turning Libya into a failed terrorist state

    Joe Biden on APRIL 14, 2021:

    "I believed that our presence in Afghanistan should be focused on the reason we went in the first place: to ensure Afghanistan would not be used as a base from which to attack our homeland again. We did that. We accomplished that objective."

    "War in Afghanistan was never meant to be a multi-generational undertaking. We were attacked. We went to war with clear goals. We achieved those objectives. Bin Laden is dead, and al Qaeda is degraded in Iraq — in Afghanistan."


    Why didn't he and Obama end it then?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    WTF?
    Release was part of negotiations and didn't effect the outcome of the war.
    Dems are grasping at straws. Trump had no combat deaths in the last 18 months as required by negotiations

    Biden gets 13 Americans blown up in the chaos of them at the airport gates
    He's a sorry ass Commander -in Chief. It was his numbers used for withdrawal
    Why he had to put troops back in !

    Declaring the war over, surrendering Afghanistan to the Taliban, and releasing all the Taliban terrorists did not effect the outcome of the war? Really?

    Releasing the 5000 prisoners did not alter the outcome alter-Walter.
    read what I write and not what you mind thinks it sees

    Biden complains he was handed a timetable - he wasn't- that was a Trump date
    and when did Biden EVER follow what Trump did? never

    But Biden wanted out as did Trump - so can that horseshit about "surrendering".
    It was a conditions based withdrawal.
    Biden came in and short circuited conditions of bombing Taliban if they advanced etc.
    Meaning the Taliban was bolded to advance and whrn Bagram closes their AF could not get up

    Biden decided the withdrawal would be based SOLELY on troop number ( not conditions)
    and when he went to 600 he decided to protect the embassy at Kabul
    Meaning he closed Bagram as he couldn't keep both.

    Learn it. Im not wasting my time giving you a detailed response again. Biden is a Screw-Up
