Perhaps my calendar is out of date.....and my knowledge of the Doha Agreement differs from yours.....but for sure as of January 20th Joe Biden became the President and he had plenty of time to assess the situation and determine a plan of action (of course with the splendid and candid input of his advisors).

It makes sense to set a date for the event to be completed by and then an orderly scheduled system of events take place to make that happen.

Do explain to us all how Biden's decision to abandon Bagram, Biden's decision to remove the bulk of the combat troops ahead of non-military persons, when confronted by the tremendous gains of controlled territory by the Taliban make sense?

Knowing the Doha Agreement as you do....you do recall what it said about delays should the Taliban not adhere to its terms...right?

Why did Biden decide to continue with a withdrawal of forces all the while the Taliban were taking provincial areas one after another?

For the record....your trying to blame Trump comes across as being very lame.

Biden set the date, Biden made the decision re Troops rather than Civilians, and Biden made the decision to abandon Bagram.

Exactly what role did the previous President play in all of that?

Things were pretty quiet in the years since the Doha Agreement was signed and Trump left Office......what happened to change that?

Any ideas?
