    From the BBC, of all places: "The shambolic unravelling of America's withdrawal from Afghanistan comes from a yet to be written textbook of 'how to lose at everything.'...After the bewildering events of the past few days, how exactly is America back?"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-58252174 …

        Though that’s closer to Biden position. Afghan Army wasn’t even 1-5 years away from readiness, it’s either withdraw or stay forever. The whole 20-year nation-building project was a mirage.

        If you won't/can't understand that the US occupation was Dead On Arrival nearly from day one, its of course easy to argue this.

        No surprise. Our allies are always dinging us when we try to retrench. (Same with Israel, democracy advocates from ME, and etc.) This is pure self interest, of course. The Brits remember very well how we sat out 1/3 of WWII, and how close they came to calling it curtains.

        No, he said "America, that's my back." As he walked off stage, not taking questions, headed back to vacation.
