With Not Even A Whimper

The end of official American military presence in Afghanistan is over.

And with that, Hamid Karzai International in Kabul is now officially an uncontrolled airport.

 

An unknown number of American citizens remain abandoned and left behind numbering in the hundreds or perhaps thousands, along with green card holders, SIV applicants and allies.  The damage from this feckless pull-out to America's standing in the world and with its allies is well nigh incalculable.

This complete chaotic disaster of a withdrawal is squarely on the Biden Administration.

And who made an agreement with the Taliban to pull out, undercutting out allies in Afghanistan?

And who messed up the pull out, and busily discarded the phased approach set in motion by the prior administration, beyond all recognition?

Rhetorical question, we know the answer.
