The Afghanistan Blame Game

For those who are looking around for someone to pin the blame for the debacle in Afghanistan, and understanding there is plenty going around, including ourselves:  Sure, Biden may share in some of it, but we should keep in mind some key milestones left in place by the outgoing administration.   Thanks to Mr. Whitley for this memo:

May be an image of text that says 'TRUMP NOT BIDEN NEGOTIATED DIRECTLY WITH THE TALIBAN AND EXCLUDED THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT. TRUMP NOT BIDEN FACILITATED THE RELEASE OF 5,000 AFGHAN FIGHTERS FROM PRISON. TRUMP NOT BIDEN WANTED TO INVITE THE TALIBAN TO CAMP DAVID ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF9-11. TRUMP NOT BIDEN REFUSED TO BRIEF THE INCOMING ADMINISTRATION'S ADMINIST TRANSITION TEAM ON THE AFGHANISTAN SITUATION. TRUMP NOT BIDEN BRAGGED THAT He DIDN'T NEED AN EXIT STRATEGY IN AFGHANISTAN. TRUMP NOT BIDEN BOASTED THAT THE TROOP WITHDRAWAL He SET IN MOTION COULD NOT BE STOPPED. AFGHANISTAN IS ANOTHER TRUMP FAILUREI'

Three things to ponder for today:
  1. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
  2. You're never too old to learn something stupid.
  3. I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.
