Once again a Democrat is conflating the need to withdraw from Afghanistan with the way the withdrawal was handled. They cannot be allowed, under any circumstance, to have that narrative.

Exactly. She’s banking on most people missing that sleight of hand.
And of course Biden ensured the collapse of the Afghan gov and military by bugging out of Bagram, and prior to that, by withdrawing maintenance support. He basically shivved them. It’s becoming pretty clear that he wanted the collapse and created the conditions to make it happen. That seems counterintuitive but the ‘why’ is starting to emerge in hindsight. I think a big piece was simply a desire to trash Trump’s plans. I also suspect an Obama influence on the whole thing — he seems hardwired to want to punish foreign governments that seek US patronage, regarding them as toadies.
