They are trying to make this about the decision to withdraw.  No one disagrees that we needed to eventually extract ourselves from Afghanistan.  We did what we could for them and at some point they needed to stand or fall on their own.  

What people do object to is the completely incompetent, irrational and evil way this was done.  That it became a Siagon moment is entirely on Dementia Joe's shoulders.  That tens of thousands of Afghans that worked with the U.S. will die a horrible death is a stain on this man's soul and a perfect reason why no country should ever trust us again.  For him to blame Trump is breathtakingly cynical.  This guy has reversed pretty much every one of Trump accomplishment in the last 7 months with great fanfare but for some reason this one was set in stone?!?!?!?  No one with half a brain for one second believes that, including Jake Tapper at cnnBS.....but probably not our favorite left wing nuts.

I once wrote a post that we needed to party like it was 1975.  I said so half in jest but I am now thinking it is actually coming true.  We went from energy independence and low gas prices to $4 gas and begging OPEC for more oil.  We went from no inflation to massive inflation wiping out all the wage gains of the last several years.  We went from low illegal migration to a disaster at the southern border.  I coul go on but even I didn't think it was possible to make me look back on Carter with fond memories.
