Trump invited the Taliban to Camp David and freed 5000 Taliban prisoners to appease them for a temporary ceasefire. He can sit down. https://t.co/I25HtSvl5I

Biden needs to own this decision. Yes, Trump drew down troops. Yes, Trump invited the Taliban to Camp David on 9/11.

But, Biden made this call. He needs to acknowledge the devastation & the mistakes & tell the American people he still thinks it was the right thing to do.

Biden’s Betrayal of Afghans Will Live in Infamy by George Packer

Our abandonment of the Afghans who helped us, counted on us, and staked their lives on us is a final, gratuitous shame that we could have avoided.

The thing that upsets me about the situation in Afghanistan isn't that it collapsed so quickly--that was a foreseeable consequence of the entire policy. Rather, it's that we didn't evacuate our allies first while we still had a robust security infrastructure to do it.

“Become” a thing on the right? They elected a guy who tried to implement a ban on Muslim immigrants and wanted him re-elected. https://t.co/I1tlunUSu5

Yes, I will take the inevitable fall of Kabul (since it's what the American people have demanded for years) over a president who tried to set the Constitution on fire, overturn an election, and sell out America to its enemies.
That's my choice? Then yes, I'll take that trade-off. https://t.co/BoKEnLljpv

I think David is right here, but I'll foot-stomp this again: They were trying to avoid "blame and shame" because there was no way to have an adult discussion with the American public - or its elected reps - that didn't involve partisan accusations of "losing the war." https://t.co/Yjz4DEfNXD
