You’ve been spewing all this conjecture and all you had to do is Google it. Took less than a minute.

Trump made a deal with the Taliban legitimizing them.  The failure of the Afghani army and govt.  is on him. The Biden Administration should have realized the weakness in the Afghan govt. US intelligence was poor.

Good for you, Cardfan1 but you boasting about your Googling skills does nothing to change the fact that the debacle in Afghanistan belongs to nobody but Joe Biden and his staff. Trump has been out of office for more than 7 months, yet Biden had no clue about what was going on under his watch in Afghanistan.

I could post quotes of all of the statements made by Biden and Harris over the past 7 months, indicating that everything was going well in Afghanistan, but that would change nothing. The buck for the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan stops with Biden and there are no "buts" necessary for that statement. And unlike during the campaign, there is really no place for Biden to hide from his responsibility for the current mess. He wanted the job and responsibility, and he has it. It is time for him to man up and stop blaming everybody else for his shortcomings.
