Joe Biden held a half hour press conference today. He squarely placed the blame for the disasterous exit on, not himself and his war leaders but------liberals will love this----on Trump plus others who can't defend themselves.
He blamed former President Trump for signing an agreement with the Taliban to remove U.S. troops by May 1, an agreement that released 5,000 prisoners — “some of the Taliban’s top war commanders among those who just took control of Afghanistan.”
He blamed a corrupt Afghan government for letting its armies fold and leaving its people to watch their “president flee amid the corruption of malfeasance, handing over the country to their enemy.”
He blamed, or at very least appeared to chastise, any American stranded there for not leaving earlier, noting that “since March, we reached out 19 times to Americans in Afghanistan with multiple warnings and offers to help them leave Afghanistan — all the way back as far as March.” https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2021/09/01/in_defending_exit_biden_shifts_blame_for_execution_of_it_146335.html
