“We inherited a deadline. We did not inherit a plan,” said Blinken, who is no stranger to congressional oversight, having previously served on then-Sen. Joe Biden’s staff when the Delawarean chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Joe has been in office for 9 months now. He didn't have time to think of anything?

That they changed.

They didn't or couldn't change anything else?

So like a teacher giving someone a 8 month deadline to turn in their project. And night before it's due "shite, we haven't even started"

They made their decisions on this shite.

Based on Miley’s statement, the troop levels they were required to draw down to meant they could either have Bagram AFB or a fully functional embassy. So they closed down Bagram in dead of night.

Yet they are blaming Trump for their own frickups.

They spit on Trump's plan and did their plan; and none of them could govern or lead their way out of a paper bag. Including the JCS & Milley/Austin.

What's your point fella? Your boss asked for, pleaded for and even stole for to get that inheritance.

Obama blamed the bad economy on the Bush Presidency for about six years after Bush was out of office.

OF COURSE the Dems blame Trump. Dems never accept accountability for anything that goes wrong. Smart move, because mass media will ALWAYS cover for them.

They flipped all of Trump’s policies and EOs the instant they entered office yet somehow this one thing was impossible to change? The cowardice and slime is unreal.

So, Trump's deadline was May 1st. They just lie right to your face with no consequences.

The fact that he couldn’t go two fricking miles to a summons shows how much of a coward he is and how few fricks he gives about us or this country. Biggest coward ever in a Presidential administration.

Biden shite all over that deadline. He delayed the pull out by months. During that several month delay...his regime didn't do anything. A 5 yr old would realize that they should've used those extra months to take that equipment away. To evacuate our allies and citizens. To let our allies and Citizens know that some bad shite was going to happen, rather than lie about the dangers and telling everyone that everything is fine.

Interesting. So they ignored the deadline, and still didn't come up with a plan?

And that’s all blatant lies. Matt Zeller had a plan that Trump was planning to use, but the Biden administration refused to listen to him.
