Notice how they say they "set conditions" but they never actually say what the conditions were.

The only condition was that the US would pull out if the Taliban agreed not to attack us or our NATO allies.

The Taliban are actually abiding by the deal Mike made. https://t.co/TRAxnkR8vu

Translation: “The Afghanistan catastrophe is largely on Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld but because I think history doesn’t exist and I prefer propaganda I’ll blame it on the guy who has been president for seven months and pretend the past two decades never happened.” https://t.co/3JBeYSRa1u

The Biden administration has failed miserably. Inexcusable.

But Trump administration negotiations literally provided the Taliban with battlefield reinforcements. Among its many, many flaws - the deal required the Afghan government to release 5000 Taliban prisoners. https://t.co/32kJkaS1cf

I mention this in a piece coming tomorrow. Some people are legit anguished, but many others are outraged about AFG based on their partisan priors. As an issue, it doesn't move the needle in political races. https://t.co/pGjnwe8QsX

Mike Pompeo and Trump released 5,000 terrorists they “never trusted.” https://t.co/Ca0F2YjBs1

We Once Waltzed in Kabul by Kathy Gilsinan
The U.S. abandoned my friends. Now they are trapped in Afghanistan and hiding from the Taliban.

Remember this the next time some American casually announces they’re gonna move to Canada if their political candidate loses an election. This is what fleeing for your life from actual tyrannical government looks like. https://t.co/tlicHaobPu

You can say it cost a lot of money, that we would’ve been stuck there, or that it wasn’t our problem. But do not deny we broke a sacred promise. Do not deny this scars our moral credibility as a nation. Do not deny we could’ve done more to get them out if we had had the will.

I’m not that young and we all got your point. You’ve been blogging about the gay scourge for years.

And of all the mistakes the military made in Afghanistan, the “woke” acknowledgement of the humanity of their gay service-members ain’t on the list https://t.co/GD2eccCaTG

Both Trump and Biden campaigned on leaving Afghanistan. For anyone who is aghast at what is unfolding, you likely voted for it. Would be nice if we had better choices.

It is spectacularly infuriating to watch former US officials from administrations that made huge mistakes and manifold bad choices regarding Afghanistan offering up their criticism of the one that has had to clean up the 20 year mess they made.

Miller’s maternal ancestors came to the U.S. and avoided anti-Jewish pogroms in Belarus. He wants to deny fleeing Afghans the same opportunity to avoid being massacred. He is a truly awful human being. https://t.co/CDro98eBCq

“I started the process, all the troops are coming home, they (Biden) couldn’t stop the process. 21 years is enough. They (Biden) couldn’t stop the process, they (Biden) wanted to but couldn’t stop the process.”

Wait a minute.

A few weeks ago you were 1 of only 16 members of Congress who voted against my bill to expand and speed up the visa program to evacuate and save our Afghan partners. https://t.co/TfDsfLioNg
