I know you're getting skewered for this, but one of the only fair journalists on this planet (Greenwald) has basically been saying what you are -- Trump and Biden were the only two people standing up to finish what nobody else would and the military industrial complex, intel agencies, and media assets are having a fit over it. And, that the withdrawal was going to be a mess no matter what. All of that said, Biden should not have lied last month about how great everything was and should have been getting people out months ago. But, his ego would not let that happen or something.
The only problem I have with this take is that people within the administration have stated that Biden ignored intelligence reports, and ignored his generals as it relates directly to his withdrawal plan. That's where the disconnect is.

What a joke, the level to which this evacuation has been botched is an absolute travesty. Prayers to families of those dead soldiers who died solely due to this administration's incompetence.

If you wade into the social media side of this, be prepared for an avalanche of such sources.
That said, I have been completely amazed at how viable and accurate many of these sources/outlets have been. From the start of Kabul's collapse (even before when the Talibs were rolling the country) so many people/sources have been reporting. The majority have proven reliable. That is shocking to me.

About as stupid as pulling your troops out before your civilians?

Someone remind me what the big concession from the Taliban was that caused Biden to gratuitously close Bagram, rush the process, meekly refuse to condemn actions of the Taliban in recent weeks, etc.?

The dumb fricks have to figure out to spin this as Trump's fault.

You would think, the problem is that one side rights the history books.
And it is his side.

Biden has to come out and make a statement today right? (After his afternoon nap of course)

As I read it seems like this is more likely an ISIS thing and not Taliban, but to your point, this is what happens when you let the Taliban run security and not American troops around the airport. The Taliban shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near the airport.
