There seems to be some confusion as to what "pulling out" is. The "pulling out" was for the military, the civilians including the embassy personnel were going to stay.
This wasn't a military problem, this is/was a decision made by the White House.

Id have to guess the people in the Pentagon. They are the ones placing blame right out of the gates.

That article is pretty damning give what has transpired over the last few days.
This is Biden owning "his plan" in April. Any attempt to lay this mess at the feet of the previous Administration should be summarily dismissed.

The deadline Biden has set for pulling all troops out -- September 11, the 20th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon that launched the war -- is absolute, with no potential for extension based on worsening conditions on the ground.

Biden. The POTUS has to make the call, period. Just like Obama when people were waiting in Benghazi, he ignored them and let them die.

The military was told to withdraw, they did. There wasn't suppose to be a pull out of civilians.
This was decided by Coleslaw Joe.

Clearly it was Joe Biden’s father but he failed at that. Probably should talk to all the men Heels Up has banged. Seems they are strong in that area.

Intel wouldn’t help much if it’s ignored or not read. The end result is the same. Biden and his team assumed that bringing home the troops after 20 years would be a huge political win. What could possibly go wrong? The Taliban would eventually take over, but that would not happen overnight. No one wanted to hear anything that might make the departure look bad. It never occurred to them that the Taliban might lie. Unless someone becomes a whistleblower, we will never know the truth, but this will be used in some political campaigns in 2022 and 2024.

Biden being the retard he is gave the Taliban 4 months to get their offensive ready, and gave an exact date! This is all on Biden. And of course his equally mentally challenged voters.

Trump's former general overseeing the draw-down noted that it was extremely foolish to withdraw in the summer when all of the Taliban fighters were back from Pakistan.
He said there were no American deaths for the last 12 months of Trump's tenure.

Video of general's observations of what went wrong. First he said that you don't do anything like this in the summer when all of the Taliban are back from wintering in Pakistan.
Biden's lackies were incompetent fools.
