    Though the former President offered his support of President Joe Biden's plans to bring home American troops, he urged his successor to draw an end to America's longest war well before the September 11 deadline that Biden set last week. Trump said that while leaving Afghanistan is "a wonderful and positive thing to do," he had set a May 1 withdrawal deadline and added that "we should keep as close to that schedule as possible."
     
     
    So......    how would you have wanted it done?

    First and foremost. We needed to get every American and Afghani who helped us for 20 years out of Afghanistan in a safe manner before we picked up and left. Now we have to go back in to make this happen. Will joe allow us to go back into Afghanistan to rescue American's and our allies?

    It was not long ago that joe did not rescue the lives of American's  in Benghazi. Not to mention the demise of Seal Team 6  shot down while sitting in a slow moving Chinook helicopter over the mountains of Afghanistan while joe was VP.

    Don't see how things would be any better with DJT..

    In fact, faster withdrawal would be much worse

    https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/567924-pompeo-says-trump-administration-didnt-take-the-words-of-taliban

     

    Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday that the Trump administration "never trusted to Taliban" despite its efforts to negotiate its own withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

    On "Fox News Sunday," host Chris Wallace asked Pompeo if there were any regrets about giving the Taliban legitimacy and agreeing to release prisoners believed to be back fighting with the Taliban. The group has overtaken a bulk of Afghanistan over the past few days, culminating in the near collapse of the capital of Kabul on Sunday and the evacuation of the U.S. Embassy.

    “Do you regret giving the Taliban that legitimacy? Do you regret pressing the Afghan government to release 5,000 prisoners, which they did, some of whom are now back on the battlefield fighting with the Taliban?” Wallace asked Pompeo after playing a clip of the former secretary of State from March of last year in which he said Taliban negotiators would work alongside the U.S.

    “Chris, you make peace with your enemies. The statement that I made that day was absolutely true. You can ask the military leaders on the ground. We did good work to crush al Qaeda. When we left office, there were fewer than 200 al Qaeda left in Afghanistan,” Pompeo said.

    “Chris, we never trusted the Taliban. You can ask them yourselves. We made abundantly clear: If they did not live up to that piece of paper, to the words that they had put on the ground, we weren't going to allow them to just walk away from any deal that they struck. We were going to go crush them,” he added. 

    In March, Pompeo said, “The gentlemen that I met with agreed that they would break that relationship and that they would work alongside of us ... and to have al Qaeda depart from that place.”

    Pompeo oversaw negotiations with the Taliban during the Trump administration, which had come to an agreement to withdraw U.S. troops by May 1. In July, Pompeo told The Associated Press that he applauded Biden's move to withdraw troops from the country but worried that counterterrorism efforts by the U.S. could be impacted.

    Total disgrace at the airport in Kabul. Just to let everybody know. We have an incompetent Sec of Defense by the name of Austin who is more worried about military members who supported President Trump! So sad but very true! Has Austin and joe biden resigned in disgrace yet? Find me Jen Psaki to explain all of this to me while I have a grilled cheese sandwich and a can of beer!

    Trump negotiated the complete as President .

    Biden is simply honoring the agreement. 

    The withdrawal should be finished by 15 January, US media reported, just days before Mr Biden's inauguration as president.

    But Mr Trump's reported plan is facing rare criticism from a fellow Republican - Senate leader Mitch McConnell, who warned militants would "love" the idea.

    Speaking on the floor of the upper chamber on Monday, the Kentucky senator said: "We're playing a limited - limited - but important role in defending American national security and American interests against terrorists who would like nothing more than for the most powerful force for good in the world to simply pick up our ball and go home.

    "They would love that."

    Source https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54968200.amp

    Speaking at the White House, Mr Trump congratulated Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and "the people of the United States for having spent so much in terms of blood, in terms of treasure, and treasury."

    He said the Taliban had been trying to reach an agreement with the US for a long time, and that he had faith in the deal because "everyone is tired of war."

    In addition to withdrawing US and allied troops, the deal also provides for a prisoner swap.

    Some 5,000 Taliban prisoners and 1,000 Afghan security force prisoners would be exchanged by 10 March, when talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government are due to start.

     

    The US will also lift sanctions against the Taliban and work with the UN to lift its separate sanctions against the group.

    In addition to withdrawing US and allied troops, the deal also provides for a prisoner swap.

     

    US, Afghan and Taliban officials have all been careful to avoid calling today's agreement in Doha "a peace deal." But in Afghanistan, a sense of cautious optimism has been rising.

    The Afghan war has been a bloody stalemate for years now, with the Taliban increasingly controlling or contesting more territory, yet unable to capture and hold major urban centres.

    With this has come a growing realisation - by both the Taliban and the US - that neither side is capable of an outright military victory.

    This deal now opens the door to wide-ranging talks between the militants and Afghan political leaders.

    But these discussions will be much more challenging - somehow there will have to be a reconciliation between the Taliban's vision of an "Islamic Emirate" and the democratic modern Afghanistan that has been created since 2001.

    The priority for many ordinary Afghans, at least in the short term, is a substantive reduction in violence. We'll find out in the coming weeks, when the warmer spring weather generally heralds the start of "fighting season", if that will happen.

     

    The May 1 timetable is part of  the Trump administration forged with the Taliban in February 2020. Under that deal, the U.S. agreed to withdraw all its forces; in exchange, the Taliban promised to sever its ties with al-Qaeda and end its attacks on American forces. The Trump administration began a drawdown of U.S. forces, and about 2,500 U.S. troops remain in Afghanistan now.

    Several top Senate Democrats say the Taliban have not lived up to their commitments,

    @sundance

     You sound more upset about the Taliban overthrowing their government than the attempt that was made on our government on January 6th.

    In fact, I don't remember hearing a peep out of you speaking out against the attempted insurrection.

    Not good sundance.

    First Midnight. There was no insurrection on 6 January! The state actually murdered an unarmed woman named Ashli Babbitt. The Trump supporters were actually peaceful unlike the far Left goons who burned up downtown Portland on a nightly basis. 

    I think the most tragic outcome of the very peaceful protest on 6 January 2021 is the people who are still in jail without bail and are allowed a whole hour of exercise outside of their cell. That is an example of how evil the Left is. Let's give the protestors bail and give them a day in court.

    I am disturbed that joe has now  been involved in 3 situations where he abandoned the well being of American citizens. 

    1. Benghazi

    2. Seal Team 6

    3. Kabul and Afghanistan
