Man, when you look at it THIS way, Biden looks even worse.
Iowahawk put together a damn good thread on Biden, Afghanistan, our military leaders, and the Taliban; we kinda sorta love that he started it out with a ‘How it Started/How it’s Going’ tweet:

Somehow in the last week we've gone from giving the Taliban a kill list to the Taliban giving us a kill list

And it just gets worse and worse.
*cell phone rings*
US CENTCOM: hello Taliban? Hi, we know you guys are as upset and angry about the airport bombing as us, so how about a little location data about your natural sworn enemies, ISIS
Taliban: word on the street is they're all the playspace at 123 Elm Street
— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) August 30, 2021
Awww yes, the drone that killed children.
The one they claimed killed the leader of ISIS-K or whatever they’re calling them out of convenience.
US CENTCOM: gee thanks guys! By the way I just emailed you a list of US citizens and Afghan allies, if you could you give them a motorcade to make it to the airport safe that'd be great

THEY GAVE THEM A LIST OF OUR PEOPLE IN AFGHANISTAN.
What. Were. They. THINKING?!

Such a disaster.
I'm also making a very good case that everyone involved in the actual planning and execution of it should be shitcanned, sent packing to some golf course, and never allowed near a position of authority againhttps://t.co/NvejPXJMQN

Don’t disagree at all with one word he said here, except that a golf course may even be too much responsibility for these troglodyte losers.
No, my position is that the US could have executed a withdrawal that didn't involve STEP 1: Close Bagram First, mass chaos and death at the airport, and literally giving the Taliban lists of stranded US citizens and Afghan allieshttps://t.co/T9g3c9FWiA

It’s completely annoying how many people keep trying to make the argument about whether or not we should have left at all. No one is making the case that we should continue nation-building in Afghanistan, but the way Biden pulled out, the sloppy and deadly nature of his actions and decisions, are absolutely problematic and will likely lead to hundreds (thousands) of Americans left behind.
Yup, they should all be sh*t-canned.
