Biden's situation with Afghanistan is comparable to a doctor who has to amputate because of mistakes

made earlier by other doctors, and perhaps by the patient.

It's a disastrous situation that no one would choose, if there were good options.

And no matter how bad the mistakes made earlier, many will try to blame the person who had to make that final decision.

But let's not fall into that trap.

Biden’s job is to protect Americans including US troops. Let’s not forget that. It’s never a mistake to get out of a foreign war, it is always a mistake to start one. Biden did the right thing and I continue to support his decision.

that the other party that starts with an "R" is wishing for the worst outcome in this matter because it's political.
