    I feel like if you selected 5 random people and asked them to manage our withdrawal from Afghanistan it would have gone better than this.

        Bill would have immediately recognized the need to keep our own airbase til the end. Maggie would have pointed out we should first evacuate our embassy staff and other allies quickly and quietly. Walt would have flagged the importance of getting our equipment out/destroyed.

        I'm reminded of William F. Buckley and the Boston phone book.

        5 random people on the street wouldn’t even know we were still in Afghanistan, couldn’t find it on the map and 3 of them might never have heard of it.

        I did hear a quote this morning that I am pondering... "The Taliban fears no military, nor economic sanctions, nor modern warfare technology, nor anything NATO, Russia or China can bring to bear" "They fear Afghanistan women" I think this might be what we really over-looked.

        Like: Evacuate all or nearly all non-military personnel -- including Afghan interpreters -- at least 30 days prior to beginning the withdrawal of troops; plus, evacuate most of our military equipment prior to or concurrently with the withdrawal of forces? Ridiculous! Erroneous!

        Reminds me of the quote, “I Would Rather Be Governed By the First 2,000 People in the Telephone Directory than by the Harvard University Faculty” (William F Buckley). Both accurate statements
