Washington Post: 72 hours at Camp David: Inside Biden's lagging response to the fall of Afghanistan
WASHINGTON - Marine One lifted off Friday at 1:36 p.m. for Camp David bearing a leader headed on a long-planned August vacation: President Joe Biden, clad in a black baseball cap and a light-blue short-sleeved shirt, carried a lone piece of luggage and was accompanied by his wife and a small retinue of staff.
But when the president's official helicopter touched back down 72 hours later in Washington, the leader who emerged was preparing to address the biggest foreign policy crisis of his presidency - a rapidly devolving catastrophe in Afghanistan that has left the administration scrambling to evacuate U.S. citizens and Afghan nationals before the Taliban's stunningly swift takeover of the nation is complete.
One close Biden foreign policy ally, who is in regular contact with the White House and the State Department, said the president's team would never have let him leave for Camp David had they known just how quickly Afghanistan would implode amid the president's decision to withdraw all U.S. troops by Sept. 11.

Read this to understand why America was bound to lose to a corrupt and rotting regime in Afghanistan
The Ides of August
I thought it was interesting that Biden couched his justification for leaving as not wanting to be in a civil war. China may interpret that as a signal that reunification of Taiwan by force will not be militarily opposed
And the professor tries to muddy waters yet again. Professor has went from
Trump's fault
to
Democrat's and Republican's fault
to
America was bound to lose
Notice how desperately he tries to keep the conversation steered away from it is the Democrat's fault or it is Biden's fault. 1207 has his eye on the ball he isd desperately trying to protect his party.
1207 is a sad little man.
@114 agreed
It's either psychological with him, or he's a true shill
About the Chayes article. I checked the comments. There is not the faintest whiff of bird. Not a trace.
You would think if they liked THE ARTICLE TO BRING IT TO A DISCUSSION GROUP, THEY WOULD HAVE COMMENTED ON IT WITH COMMENTS SUCH AS "i LIKED THE ESSAY OR i AGREEE WITH MOST POINTS EXCEPT ..."
Nothing
The Chayes article linker had one goal. It was to deflect blame.
Prediction: Gen. Milley will be the first one fired. (After the AFG head)
The Chayes article is worth reading. Chayes speaks Pashtun. There is some HP under that scalp.
read the article. be critical of what is said or is in need of correction. The rest of the comments here are merely to dump on the person posting the comment. Time to grow up and make mature comments
Polls consistently show that the overwhelming majority of Americans support withdrawal.
Well done President Biden, well done.
