It is. The question remains though is why? I still believe that they thought they had waaaaaay more time. That is what everyone is saying that is in the know. Nobody on this board is privy to the intelligence that Biden was getting.
The fact that they are now sending troops back in to help with the evacuation is proof of this. Nobody knew the security forces left in Afghanistan were going to fold that quickly. Maybe some had a hunch, but I believe the Intelligence on the ground there was saying anywhere from 30-90 days before the Taliban could take Kabul.
And for Trump to come out and pounce on this as a political moment is laughable. When Congress voted to speed up the visa process for some there only 16 members voted against it - all republicans- all in Trumps circle , so dont turn around now and say I told you so. That is nothing more than them looking to rake Biden over the coals for this in hopes of 2022/4. I will admit Biden should have probably been more cautious with the withdraw - but Trumpers must admit that he would have listened to the same intelligence and done the same thing. He was chomping at the bit to get the troops out of there. This is your opportunity for a meet you in the middle moment Chico.
