Bush - started it, allowed mission creep.
Obama - the smartest one of the bunch, and should have known better.
Trump - cozied up to the Taliban, set this whole fiasco in motion.
Biden - did the withdrawal exactly backwards (evacuate civilians first, THEN remove the troops).

Quote:Just own it. It's embarrassing.There is nothing for me to own. Your President was an utter moron who passed shit policies that his successor is having to fix or thank heavens abandon. The only Embarrassment is you people deny this.
So am I.
If Bush hadn’t allowed mission creep and diverted resources to open a second war, this withdrawal would have happened differently. If Obama had forced a stable government (tough, but not impossible), this withdrawal would have happened differently. If Trump hadn’t treated Afghanistan the way he treated Syria, this withdrawal would have happened differently. If Biden had begun evacuating refugees BEFORE drawing down troops, this withdrawal would have happened differently.
Dirty hands as far as the eye can see.
